Bigearth image change

The image itself is located in the cqrlog/images folder. It must be BMP format, 512 x 256 pts. An alternate image is in the 'Additional files' section.

Copy your image into this folder, the old one should be overwritten. The file name MUST be BigEarth.bmp.

Strange

Well, I swapped over the BigEarth image, but no change to the prog?
I expected the grayline pic to change but nothing.
Where is this BigEarth image visible.?
 
There was BigEarth and the grayline image in the image folder., I have kept the original file names just swpped the file
Am i missing something?

Re: Strange

The previous info is not actual anymore, it is from 2009. Now, the BigEarth.bmp is located in /home/user/.config/cqrlog/images folder. Or try to search the BigEarth.bmp file name within your /home/.
Nothing strange...

Indeed, that is where I found

Indeed, that is where I found mine (/usr/share/cqrlog/images) But i swapped the new  BigEarth.bmp (leaving the original as BigEarth2.bmp there as a backup) but no change to the grayline image.
I left grayline.bmp as it was. Do I need to change this also?
I'm sure Im missing something obvious, apologies..

BigEarth.bmp location

Not sure how I solved it myself. I remember replacing several instances of BigEarth.bmp before it worked.
My suggestion would be to take the advice from Martin OK1RR. Do a search and just replace (and maybe backup the originals) all BigEarth.bmp's you found. Should solve it because then there is no "old" file left to be loaded into CQRLog.

BigEarth.bmp vs grayline.bmp

I think the code may be changed as now I need to change the name of the file in ~/.config/cqrlog/images from BigEarth.bmp to grayline.bmp and cqrlog picks up the new file when starting.
