I figured it out already, maybe it's an idea to allow for image loading in the editor itself. That way you can be assured that all files are perfectly stored and in the right format. It shouldn't be too hard to find a simple converter or image editing program for that purpose.
Offtopic: I also found the action editor being rather limited. I mean don't get me wrong, it's great and the basics are mostly covered! But that special notch to it which makes it so special, that capability of recreating the entire game, that's missing. For example: It'd be great if you could redesign the board, relate to multiple previous actions or make the passion meter actually fall back after certain actions. (This would be very useful in the case that you want to have longer sessions in which the male will reach orgasm, that way you can actually make the program adapt to the level of arrousement of an individual which gives a much more natural feel to it.
Maybe all my ideas make for the action editor to be too complicated but that can easily be solved by adding the option for the simple and the advanced editor. I for one would love to keep track of numbers; "Did he achieve orgasm already? If so, the next actions have a 75% chance of being 'in favor' of her" for example. This can be further exploited by the program having the option to actually ask input from the players. (After certain actions and if the option is enabled the program could ask the player for their preferred 'route' as in; want to be very romantic, maybe a bit wilder then the current actions given?) This also opens up a lot of potential. Now I know that these idea's (especially the last) are enormous changes to the entire engine but they might be a goal for the long run as they will dramatically personalize the entire game experience giving an almost live like feel to it.
