MDB 1881 - issue with bkg picture setting

[stebev]

I am hoping this is the correct place to put this as this is the first time I have put anything on this site.

I recently downloaded the latest full version of MDB and I can't get a background image to open, when I go to the "back pic" tab click in background image box, it opens up my files explorer box. Once I choose a file to open it removes the tick from the background image selection and no image opens. 

Cheers steve

I also had a problem like this.
There was a warning in the message box "filename must be 24 characters or less".
Hope this helps.

I didn't see the warning, will have to have another go
Thanks

Two issues coming up in the warning box. One is the size of the file name that I am choosing and the other is that it has to be in the folder designated in the ini folder options. I don't remember that happening in previous versions, when I have been choosing bkg files

Sorry for the late response...

yes, both limitations for the background image (can be stored in maps-folder or images-folder, max 24 characters long inclusive 4 characters for the extension) are now shown when trying to open it.  Else you would have these issues when trying to open the parameters again!
