some passive errors were encountered during the transfer. see the list for error and affected file.

It would be better if you post the full error message.

Full error message :

C:\Documents and settings\barry\My Documents\domainname\acatalog\myimages actinic is unable to read the dimensions of C:\Documents and settings\barry\My Documents\domainname\acatalog\myimages error: error opening the file.||section:store section title.


thanks.

C:\Documents and settings\barry\My Documents\domainname\acatalog\myimages

does this path exist on your pc?

[super cat]

NO..., this file does not exist on my PC.

everything was working fine then this happened.

[pinbrook]

Well, if the path does not exist this accounts for the error message.

Basically the error message is saying that your path names defined in catalog are pointing to a non exsistant location.

I must admit that the pathname is a little nonsensical as it appears to be a fudge of a hard drive location

C:\Documents and settings\barry\My Documents

and the remote location

\domainname\acatalog\myimages

Unfortunately I can not offer a solution

[super cat]

Pinbrook..,

you HAVE just offered a solution.
i have been having hard drive problems recently so i've just gone over everything i did and found i had images all over the place..., a 'fudge' ?

working O.K now.

thanks.

Barry,

If you're doing a tidy up it may be a good idea to make sure all your images are either in your Site1 folder, or (better) an Images sub-folder within Site1. This way all your Actinic content will be in, or off Site1 making it much easier to back-up and maintain.

Thats what I was hoping, sometimes all you need is a shove in the right direction

If you are having HD problems then make sure you get a good backup whilst you are tidying up.
