Help! I need help for a way out! I have patched together two different PTE projects, taking parts from each one to create a new project. That works fine. However, because each project had its files in a different folder, some files have the same name (in fact they are identical). For instance, I have twice the same image of a red circle ('RondRouge') in different folders, both used within the new project. So that I cannot create a backup folder to clean up the files and have only the ones that are now being used. When I go to: <<File / Create Backup in ZIP>> I get an error message: << Information Project contains two or more files with the same name, but they are located in different folders. Please use unique file names for evert file if you want to create a template or backup. Disk:\Path1\RondRouge.png Disk:\OtherPath\RondRouge.png >> I have then renamed Disk:\OtherPath\RondRouge.png as Disk:\OtherPath\RondRouge-bis.png and tried again, but this time I get: << Missing Files This projects contains missing files. You can try to search these files: xxxxxx (But I have no access to the "xxxxxx" text to make a substitution). Missing image = RondRouge.png >> I have about 100 slides in my project and have not been able to identify where these two files are used and their origin, in order to substitute one by the other. If anyone had the same problem, I will be happy to heare about any solution. Thanks.

Currently fonts are only included in the back-up zip file if they had been rasterised in the project. Igor has always maintained that rasterising is no longer necessary. However, if you will be working on another computer (someone else's) you are not guaranteed that your existing fonts will be replicated if they don't exist on the other computer. Some design programs do pack all the components including fonts used in their back-up zip. Hence the suggestion that the new version does that too. Then the need for rasterising can be buried for ever. Roel
