[Scribus] Disappearing graphics

[stu seven]

+  hmmm... to me, those file names look like the problem...
you might ask them to try again, using standard file names...
no whitespace allowed... shorter...  "napalogo.png" for instance

   Thats just a suggestion.  Other than simply slow loading
files, Ive never seen your kind of disappearing image.
