Hi smb, you recently wrote in moray.win:

Hmm. The ME is supposed to ask whether you want to add the path to
those bitmaps to the Search Path.

The way Moray works with any external files is that it only stores the
filename. Whenever the file needs to be exported or opened, the Search
Path is searched for that filename and the resulting fully qualified
name is exported. If, therefore, you are seeing only the filename in
the ME text preview window, then that file cannot be found on the
Search Path. Exiting the ME, assigning the texture to an object and
then doing View|Dependancies will correct this error.
