Unrecognozied texture format...

Hi,

I've been using Constructor for some time now (months in fact) and have never seen this problem until now. No matter what texture formats I try (jpg, png, etc) and no matter what albums I attempt to insert the texture files into and no matter what resultions I choose (all powers of 2 btw), I keep getting the following error message (single quote at the end yes):

Quote:ADD TEXTURE
The chosen file is not a recognized texture format: "

I created the said texture files on another machine, ripped them to CD, copied them back to my machine, made sure they were writable (data from CDs usually saves to local disk as read-only). I even went to the trouble of re-installing Constructor. No joy. Help!

---- update
I just tried adding textures from my main drive (C:), it worked fine. Doesn't seem to work from my (F:) drive for some strange reason. I checked to make sure read-write permissions were set to write. I even tried putting the texture right inside the main folder. No joy. Odd!

It seems there was some reports in the past that importing textures from a drive different to the one you have Constructor installed would be troubles... But it also seems to me to remember that this issue was yet addressed in Constructor 1.0.1 ...
What release are you using? Be sure to use the latest 1.0.2 since it solve many export problems...
