ADMIN NOTE: This post is combined from 2 other threads of other topics (crash, backups) in order to provide clarity on topic and easier navigation.Just to clear this, from two post behind:
quote:
this doesn't: h**p://www.iarfish.com/6d02c290.jpg
because it links to the photo 6d02c290.jpg
and that is not the name of the photo you need.
Setting your link with URL style will resolve that issue.How could I link to that photo number if it was created by CSB AFTER publishing?
Even more, that photo with that number does not exist on the server, nor all the other image numbers that presented the problem. All those original named photos disappear from the server, believe me, and were substituted by those numbers.
I DID link to a image names as I did with all hundreds of the other photos in the Gallery, one by one and TESTED one by one, just to be sure I wasn't committing spelling errors with the link.
I'm inclined to think on some kind of file corruption during publishing, that's why I was asking about check or not the option Save a copy of exported HTML locally during Publish

As to the missing files....
You went back to an OLD tlx file and brought it forward.
It is possible that some of those images were stored in your CSB file. If so, they were given numbers at some point. If the name of the file is remembered by CSB, it might have assigned those numbers....

response from Tony41:
I really don't think so... I cleared everything before start rebuilding.
BTW, the missing photos were ALL new photos, FTPd during the same session with others that didn't present any problem. Forgive me if I repeat this, but after hours that it took me to build the Gallery (yo saw the size...) I spent another half hour to check ONE by ONE (even if I had already done it when linked) clicking on each thumbnail to be sure of the link. ALL worked OK. It was done in the test-area subdirectory, but photos were in the main sub.
I left undisturbed the OLD photos that were inserted in the WORKING Gallery during the whole rebuilding process..

response from Samrc:
As to the images issue....I have NEVER in the 9-10 years of using Trellix/CSB experienced what you describe.
CSB does not rename images that it does not know about. It can't. There MUST be another step, something else that you have done or I do not understand... The program is too stable, too logical, too consistent and reacts the same for everyone.
The only thing that would make sense to me:
You opened the old tlx design file, file save as and gave it a new name.
Then deleted content AFTER you did the file save as/new name.
Began to build new content and just file saved as normal.When you delete content, CSB (tlx design file) will still have knowledge of that content! It is not gone. It is not erased, completely deleted from the file! Visually it looks like it is gone but the tlx design file will have memory of that content until you do a FILE SAVE AS and give it a new name! That File Save As and new name compacts the file and deletes old code, old data that is no longer needed. Sometimes that old data will INTERFERE with new data!
Years ago, a CSB user had a 90MB file that was acting strangely. Turned out he had deleted a TON of content, lots web pages and lots of photos and never done a FILE SAVE AS and new name. The file was never compacted. He could not see his old stuff, it was gone from the tlx design file for him but the code remained in the file where he could not see it. Once he compacted the file, his file went down to only 45MB and the old code and memory was GONE.
You did not need to check each link! Only the ones that were not working. As I mentioned, you could have just used your MOUSE to check which was broken...Taken 2 minutes to verify the entire page online. The fix would have taken another few minutes to type the picture name.
But may be you have an exception to all the rules....
On the bright side, since you did your backup, you still had all the proper pictures to upload back to the site!

As to the images issue....
CSB does not rename images ...
I agree with you, something strange happened, but it happened. Amazing.
- Say you mail me a big Dragon Fly photo to be inserted into my gallery.
- I copy that photo in my "To be published" folder and name it
dragon_fly.jpg, then, I use Cute FTP program to upload it to my main server's directory. Right?
- I open Photoshop, resize the original to a thumbnail and rename it with
dragon_flyM.jpg. Next, I insert this small picture into my gallery, and then click on it and select
Link tool>
Create Link to URL or File..., here I typed
h**p://www.blablabla.com/dragon_fly.jpg > OK?
To be sure that I didn't make misspellings with the link, I click on the thumbnail to verify. Everything OK, the big picture
dragon_fly opens in a separate windows.
I did this with ALL images.
After publishing and noticing the NOT FOUND error a couple of days later, I went to check the link on the thumbnail image and it was linked to
h**p://www.blablabla.com/6d02c290.jpg !!
Even more:
dragon_fly.jpg WASN'T ON THE SERVER ANYMORE
and 6d02c290.jpg does not exist ANYWARE, NOT ON THE SERVER NOR ON THE DESIGN FILE (
did I use 'NOR' correctly?)
I have no explanation for this.
You did not need to check each link! Only the ones that were not working. As I mentioned, you could have just used your MOUSE to check which was broken...
Yes, I know that rollover tip, but if you misspelled typing the link, it wouldn't tell you and the link will not work.
It was just a double check. I did use that option after noticing the problem, to find all those links that were not working... Ah! only seven or eight out of >150 photos failed.
