Icons have been lost. Format change?

[Charity]

Most horrible thing happened.  I picked out icons and put them on my layouts and they are very cool.  Then I close file and come back and they all say file not found.  How can file not be found when I put them on my layout?  I did not keep the files.  What is happening please?  I updated my OS few days back.  Did it break the way png files are stored? Is there any way to get these back?

 

I did not use containers if that matters.   I was using Insert Picture

Ok I have to stop because I get up very early and I think it is because of the type of pictures and I have folders and pages and pages on the different types and it is very confusing so I will have to regroup.

I thought if I put a picture on the layout it was part of the layout and if it displayed that meant it was fine.  There is no file to find so I am obviously over my head.  TTFN and thank you for trying but I think it is user error somehow.

​When you use Insert > Picture… you get the choice to 'Store only a reference to the file`. If this option is checked, and the file is subsequently moved to another location, Filemaker won't be able to find it.

 

I did not keep the files.

​The smart thing to do is to keep a backup of the files - even if you have inserted them as embedded in the file, just in case the (Filemaker) file becomes corrupt and needs to be reconstructed from scratch.

​Oh? How many casualties?

I did not see that checkbox.  My pictures are in the trash thank goodness so no casualties.  I back up every four hours and this was done in 3:58 hour go figure but it took me 3 hours.  You saved me.  Thank you as always, Comment. 

I put those pictures in a folder and keep them now.
