I am using unstructured FM 8.0p277 on Windows XP SP3. I have been using the import by reference option for all of my graphics (in this case, screen shots).

I went to replace a referenced graphic with a new version. I had the FM document open to the page that contained the version to be replaced. In my screen capture program, I captured the screen and did a "Save as", using the same file name. In the FM file, the graphic turned grey and started flashing. I tried to import the new file. The status bar got about 50% and then I got this message:

The filter encountered an error and could not complete the translation.

I deleted the old grey graphic and the frame that contained it. Then I tried to reimport the graphic and I got the same message. I resnapped the graphic and tried again. Same result. I saved the FM file, existed out of FM and came back in again and tried it again. Same result.

I tried importing a different file and it worked fine. I tried to rename this file and it still failed. And I resnapped it again with a new file name and it still failed. What is the problem with this particular screen shot? (Note that I did have this same screen captured earlier.)
