We have a problem with pictures in blogs in RW8. When we add a new blog with a picture and we publish it, things are ok. But when we save the changes as a new version of the webpage, all pictures disappear and we have to add all pictures to all blogs manually back again. Could someone possibly help us what to do? ---

Dear Paul, in RW8 I realize, that if I put a picture in RW blog, it is automatically also in Resourcesā€¦ so it should be part of rw8 project. We synchronize rw projects through dropbox, pictures are stored locallyā€¦ somehow but pictures disappear from resources and from blogā€¦ we did not have such problem with rw7 and 6ā€¦ Blogpost that was done with rw6-7 are still thereā€¦ so it must be Bug from rw8 ---

No, images (or any content for that matter) in Resources are not ā€˜part of the projectā€™, they are located in their original locations on your hd and ā€˜referencedā€™ by Resources, ie if you remove the original then resources will not be able to reference it. You can enable a setting in the project that combines everything into one big project but Iā€™ve never used it (nor resources) so I canā€™t remember itā€™s name.
