I've installed the ImageOverlay in the "default.db_media" directory according to instructions. When I open imageoverlays.html and browse an image file (or specify the path manually) and then click load image... it doesn't load. Instead the image name is just displayed red. Solution?

When the image can't be loaded the text turns red.

Suggestions:

1. Make 100% sure the directory is correct. "makeOverlays.html" and the image trying to load in the mnemosyne data directory:
X:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Roaming\Mnemosyne\

2. Make sure you have the latest flash PLUGIN.
https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

3. Try another browser.

4. Try the opening "makeOverlays.swf" directly in flash PLAYER.

Thanks for your reply Gnome.

I'm a Mac user, and apparently the equivalent directory path would be:

X:\Users\<UserName>\Library\Application Support\Mnemosyne\

However, there is no Mnemosyne folder in there. Anyway, what I found was that

X:\Users\<UserName>\Library\Mnemosyne\

worked fine. The problem was that the image I was trying to access had the letter "ö" in it (knölsvan.png), which was the reason it couldn't open the file!
