So too, I discover, does changing the path (i.e. saving the file to a
different directory from the original file) but keeping the file name
the same.
Does this offer any clues ...?
Well changing the path is like changing the name. It makes it look like
a different picture file.
If there is a bug, or feature somewhere that knows that picture X comes
from location Y (i.e. file name and path), then it is very easy to
understand what is going on. You tell OP to load from location Y and it
uses a copy of X from memory instead of from disc. Caching in other
words.
Now for referenced images that is possible. Although there should be
some checks on time stamps.
What I can't see it for is non-referenced images - because there is no
memory of the filename/path of a picture, and quite possibly it does not
exist in OPW memory.
(err um, there is a feature in OPW which lets you configure it to
automatically references pictures - Choices->Picture. Have you got that
turned on? If you select a picture, use Picture->reference then if it is
referenced it will show you the path)
