problem changing images in resources

[swestland]

I have some images in the Resources for my project, e.g. image1.png

At some point I decided I would rather use a better image so I made another image called image1.png and tried to copy it into resources hoping it would overwrite what was there. The SDK wouldn't let me.

So I deleted the images in the resources and then copied the new images in there. Imagine my surprise when I clicked build and run and the old images appear. How can this be? Has anyone else had this problem?

How should I be replacing images?

Whenever you overwrite assets like this you should do a "clean all targets" from the top menu. If for some reason that fails just delete the build folder and try it again.

clean all targets - yes, this worked. Thank you!

To change resources, you really want to change where it is on the hard drive. You can find this out by right clicking and selecting Get Info. It will tell you where it is.

The "tricky" part is this. Whether or not you have to "Clean" is dependent upon the date of the file and when you did your last build. So, say you changed your art yesterday and set it aside. Today you made a code change and built it. Then you copied over the art file to the place on the HD where resources is pointing to. When you rebuild it, it will not rebundle it in. So of course Clean because a good safety net.
