ETHOS Model Pictures - Pre- 1.2.6 Gotchas

 A couple notes on model pictures for ETHOS for old firmware or X18/X-Lite


1. The path on SD/NAND has changed as of 1.2.6, it's now /bitmaps/models and you will need to rename it from /bitmaps/user which was the path before 1.2.6. If your model pics all disappeared after updating, this is the issue. This is common to the X18 and X20 only, XE and X-Lite do not come with the old firmware and so do not have this issue unless you are cloning content off a radio on old firmware

2. The X18 will rescale BMP files, it won't do the same with JPEG or PNG. You need to resize manually to 188x160 if using JPEG or PNG.
