I haven't had time to investigate the problem in detail. But the following may be of interest ... If it's of interest, the problem TIFF can be found in the usual place. I might add that it's less than 200KB, so wouldn't be referenced automatically under my default settings - but manual referencing fails.

I've got the file, thanks, and I can reference it. Was there a specific error message when referencing failed?

No ... after dropping the picture into the frame, I opened the reference picture window. But the path writable icon was blank, i.e. nothing to reference.

On a couple of occasions when the same thing has happened, I have tried to save the file as DDL thinking it would resolve any problems in the file itself. However, trying to open the DDL with OPW resulted in an error message along the lines of "cannot open a file that has not been saved ... [something about] document path" (sorry can't remember the wording exactly).

On other occasions, a path has appeared in the writable icon, but clicking <collect referenced pictures> has created a Pictures directory that was empty.
