When the image output path is the default "Images" the location map marker is displayed, but when it is custom renamed in "whatever_name" than the marker is blank square as the path to _ggMapPin.png is not found.

? is the filename leading underscore "_" ASCI character valid on servers ?

I am sure that on a PC desktop is a valid character.

'Whatever_xyz' was only the example, could be also "MickeyMouse" or "donaldduck" ;) Otherwise the character "_" is legit everywhere.

I renamed my custom named directory without compiling into "images" and now it displays the map marker. Now I don't see the purpose of creating the custom directory when it is ignored...?

Hi Bostjan,
I tested this and its working for me!
In my test, I selected the Advanced tab and edited the "Image Output path" to images_two.
On export, I still see my images and I see the images appear in the folder images_two.
And just because I can, I also used "whatever_name" and that worked too.

Can you reproduce what you see using a cut-down project and post it or send it in?
Regards,
Hopki

Just a thought:
Filename Embedding the underscore "_" between two words is valid usage like this filename 'myfile_name'.

Some servers read the leading "_" in front of the folder name like '_myfoldername' and will consider that folder as a HIDDEN folder.

Hi Martin,
renaming the output directory works fine, that is not the problem when skin GUI is calling images, the exception is that it can not read the "pin marker on the map", that is the default image "_ggMapPin.png ". It can read it only if that image is in the directory "images".

To clarify ... the map pin image IS saved to the custom directory but the skin can not read it until it is in "images" directory.

H Bostjan,
After much experimenting, it only happens with the Leaflet API.
I was using Google API hence why I could not reproduce the problem.
I will bug track :)

Sure Leaflet API ... I wasn't aware that people are still using Google maps API.
