I noticed that everytime i have a small logo or picture on topsilk it dissapears when i file is saved and re-opened. Why is this happening?

I noticed the same thing, but it reappears when you view it in 3D. I think this has been reported before.

Pictures are saved to different files alongside board file. They have <board_name>.dipb0, <board_name>.dipb1, etc names. If you copy/move board file from one folder to another one you should copy/move picture files as well. Otherwise pictures will disappear.

I don't think it is dumb.. It is obvious.

I mean its a bad solution. I believe once the pic is loaded into the layout it should not link to a external pic. Anyway, its no big issue now that i know the reason.

Thx
