Hi @PaulK

While it’s displaying the sanitized filename in the error report (we have to sanitize filenames because some special characters are not stored correctly on the standard Linux file system), we look for the files by their names in the spreadsheet.

Are you able to share the image files themselves with me via my email address? I can double check that.

Thanks,
Jason
