[BY DESIGN ...] Not duplicate image when I translate a item to another language

Hi again,
When I translate a item to another language, All the content is duplicated except the images fields. The system show me this notice:

Image/Gallery field: 'Imagen Cabecera', some values of this field have been skipped: [ permanentes-monodosis.jpg ], because the original file seems to have been deleted (thumbnailing of it has failed).
This message will go away once you save this content item

I've checked that the original file isn't deleted.

Thank you.

Hello

this is not a bug,
... rather it is a mis-leading message

The images are simply not copied
- you can try to set the image field to "Untranslatable",
then after creating the translation (copy) item, edit and save it

Hmmmm, but if the images are not copied, they will not shown in forntend, no?
I've already set the image field to Non-translatable to "NO", but the image in the translated item are not show.

Hello

> I've already set the image field to Non-translatable to "NO"
but i said to try the opposite, set it to YES and then edit and save the original item once

The same. Not image in the translated item.
Recap, This are my steps:

1. Spanish language Item created with an image field, the field with Non-translatable to YES like you say me.
2. Check the Item to translate to English and Click in the translate button.
3. Set the Params: state, Access, etc.
4. Save & close
5. And the new English item not show the image.

I have also seen that the folder of images of the new item is not created. Ant the permissions folders ara 777

It's very strange, even sometimes you even lose the image of the original item.

Hello

you can loose the images of other items if the content item of the default site language does not have any images
but it may be in other case ?

we need to improve / fix this,
will test to verify behaviour ...

- for now it is best to set image in item of default site language and save it, associated items should be updated

>for now it is best to set image in item of default site language and save it, associated items should be updated
That way does not work.
Steps:

1. Spanish language Item created with an image field.
2. Check the Item to translate to English and Click in the batch button for copying.
3. Set some params.
4. Save & close
5. Not copying the images
6. Associate the item copied to the original
7. Not show images in traslated version.

Sorry for my insistence.
Which is the worflow for translation?
My way:

1. Create item and upload image in the field.
2. Copy the item
3. Change language and category and save
4. Associate them
5. Open the new item and I don't see the image, but I can see that notice: Field value is shared among translations (language associations) of this content.

This workflow is correct?
I try another way:

1. Create item but NOT upload image in the field.
2. Copy the item
3. Change language and category and save.
4. Associate them.
5. Upload the image in a original item.
6. Now I can see the images in both items

I've just read in www.flexicontent.org/forum/21-troublesho...mbnailing-issue.html that:

please note that copying an item will not copy its pictures

Is that correct? :ohmy:
