• Set a boot splash image (clear it if already set and select again)
• Run your project and see error in debugger.

After setting icons (loading icons) in master build, I opened same project in dev4 and it is showing uid insted of file path.

Likely coming from #97912

Thank you for referencing the PR—it’s definitely due to that. I also wanted to add that when I set the image in dev4 and then switch to the current master build, it works without errors.

I hope this gets fixed soon since my upcomming PR, which requires loading images in the export settings, is affected by this. For now, as a workaround, I’m currently using dev4 to load images 😅 and then continuing my work or tests in the master build.

I'm already working on a fix.

@KoBeWi My issue is still not resolved. I rebuilt the editor and even tried downloading the editor from your PR, but I’m still encountering the same error. (I was quite busy yesterday, so didn't got time to test locally)

Did you try to re-select the boot splash image in the settings? Your project settings probably have the uid path already saved from the previous buggy state.

@akien-mga Yes I did, I even tried with a fresh project, still same error.
