so, now what i am finding is that if i georeference an image it works as long as i leave it loaded in the list of images.
but if i clear the data base, and try to re-load the image it doesn't work.

the other thing is that if i move the image file and the georeferencing file to to another folder and try to load them, they don't work. i don' think it's an issue of the file path, because if they were in the same folder to begin with.., the xml doesn't have a full path - just the name of the file.

i know in the past this was not an issue, because i have previously georeferenced images for friends and emailed them both the image and the xml file, and they were able to use them with no problem.

it would be great of this could get fixed because the georeferencing is a great feature of expedition - i use it quite a lot
