Weird bug when replacing images using the Media Library
Just had the weirdest bug trying to use the Media Library. Image on disk i updated. In the Media Library it shows as 'The original file is newer'. Reimporting it then. And then the image name someho...
Hi Math,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention! What you're experiencing may be related to an existing bug that we are monitoring:
- Storyline Keeps the Original Filename of Media Files that were Renamed From Windows Explorer
When you said you updated the image on disk, did you mean the file was renamed, or a different version of the file replaced it with the same name? I could not reproduce the message "The original file is newer" in the Media Library. Would you mind outlining the steps you took for the issue to happen? If it would be easier for you to discuss the steps in a screen recording, that would also be great.
I'm looking forward to your response!
Hi Eric,
In the end it got really confusing, so its hard to redo it precisely.
What i basically did, i had 2 files on disk. a.png and b.png
I edited one of them in Photoshop, saved back to disk.
In Storyline i got in the Media Library "The original file is newer".
Updated it and continued to work. When in a later stadium i changed the other one.
I suddenly had 2 the same named files in my timeline. No way to fix it even removing them didnot work. As described above...only way of getting it fixed was creating a blank new SL...adding the files there...copy/paste to the original SL and then all was fine again.
The Media Library as is, for now is totally offlimits for me...as it only gave headaches.
Kind regards,
Math
