Hi lyes,

One way you can fix that is to move the picture to be in the same folder as the .3dm file.

If MoI cannot find the picture with the file path that was stored, it will also check in the same folder as the .3dm file to see if it can find it there.


Many of the other things you are requesting would probably also have a side effect of making the UI for dealing with images more complicated than it currently is... So it would likely take quite a lot of design effort to try and incorporate all that additional functionality without making things much harder to use for simple tasks, if that was even possible.

The current background images mechanism is intended not really for special effects like you're using here, but more as visual guides for drawing on top of.

Maybe it would be best to have something that was oriented for effects to be separate somehow from the current one...
