Add Materials in Aspire 9.517

Post by PapaBear1044 »

This has always worked in the past - but no more.

I add a new material (see first image), the close Aspire. Then reopen Aspire and look in the material drop down - 2nd image.

The material I just added is not there.

HELP!

I always put mine into the Vectric Files area rather than the ProgramData. That way they are available to all Vectric programs, are easier to backup and you don't have to remember to check the migrate box when upgrading.

Folder location on a default Windows 7,8,10 install is C:\Users\Public\Documents\Vectric Files\Material Images

One thing I did notice is that you have some files with a JPG extension and some with a JPEG extension. Maybe JPEG extensions don't work?

Same idea here. Try renaming the file to *.jpg.
