Re: [mv] So How Does MV Process Background Images?
Thanks, that did make the background image present properly.
However, I thought that when I defined the image directory in my
catalog.cfg (IMAGE_DIR), MV was supposed to see images relative to
that. Isn't that why I can refer to images locate in the images
directory just by name without any path and images in subdirectories off
IMAGE_DIR by name with the 'path' off IMAGE_DIR?
Other images are presented fine without the 'full path', so why is it
that the background image is different? Just curious!
Thank for the help though, this did solve a problem that make my
customer very happy.
