Hi All,

I'm having some trouble with IES files and the material editor. A couple of different things are happening:

- Some IES files crash the material editor when I hit "render" for the preview image

- Some IES files give me the following message "Photometric file not found : (path...), in Material "preview1"" even though I just selected the file in the file chooser. Some IES files have long file names, which I shortened, same problem.

Are there tricks to get this to work? I have this nagging feeling it may be linked to the format of the IES files, but have no way of checking these without investing lots of time... Is there an IES format checker? (the files I am using are downloads from light manufacturers - I can send the files along if needed)

Cheers,

Tom
