Harold's Graphics Editor (replacing pics)

At requesto of Harold for new topic.
When I click replace and choose my pic nothing happens/changes.
Exporting works fine however...
I tryd to use NPG and JPG as format, none of them worked :S.
That is a different graphics reader.
NPG is not a picture file type.
Do you have the newest version?
ps: please move this discussion to an other thread - it has nothing to do with the original graphics reader
I got the version from here:

Ok, well it works here..
The file types that are supported are: png, gif, bmp, tiff, exig and jpg.
Don't use jpg though, the quality will be bad.
And I have no idea what exig is, but it's supported anyway.
Can you make a screenshot of the editor failing to replace a sprite?

Ok but that can't be all, there has to be something "odd" otherwise it would just work.
Is the picture extremely large? Or small?

Same pixels then the one i extracted. 320*320 :S
Ill try to find out whats wrong, it must be something i do wrong.
I will let you know tomorrow if I got any further...
I'm sure the editor can replace sprites cuz you managed to do it. So its something on my side thats wrong.

@Harold: Would be better to remove JPG from GR if it works bad.

It's only the bad quality from the JPG..
@Nick: no offense, but you aren't clicking on "cancel" on the File Open Dialog are you? ok probably not..

It can replace them, but sadly it's impossible to reliably update those sprites. Exporting should still cause them to change properly.
I suppose I could update it to update those sprites unreliably, that should have no effect on the exported file.
Ok finished, try this one:
