importing/replacing assets into a project

Jimbo · 05-22-2014, 05:50 PM

Hi,
I'm have trouble importing a revised version of animations/stills (probably other types of asset as well, although I haven't noted all of them).

When trying to replace an existing item, I receive an error message and a further message to say no assets have been imported.

My workaround is to close the project, and re-open it, and then try again, which seems to work.

Is this possible to explain where I'm going wrong, or is there a fix in a later version? (we have 1.6.5 here, but as yet we have not had time to test it out)

this problem occurs with our Composer version 1.6.1.

Cheers

Hi Jimbo,

Are you using the windows version of Channel Composer?

Yes.
I think I'm finding the issue if the asset is in use in a template. Removing the .ani or .tga from said template, by selecting another .ani or .tga, and the error doesn't seem to be raised....

Hi Jimbo,

Yes, this is a known issue present only on windows. Windows does not allow you to modify a file (which includes deleting and renaming) that is currently in use. We're still looking at possible solutions here...

A quick workaround: select a template that does not contain an object that uses the asset, enter and exit Try-out Mode (this releases the lock on the asset file) and then delete the asset.
