Search Order for Requested Files

If Desktop Designer or Loftware Automation attempts to load a label or image file, and this file is not immediately found, it neither cancels the processing nor does it report an error. It tries to locate the requested file at alternative locations.

Desktop Designer or Automation checks file locations in the following order:

1. Check if the file exists at the location as defined in the action.
2. Check if the file exists in the same folder as solution, label, or configuration (.MISX) file.
3. Check if the label file exists in .\Labels folder (for graphic files, check .\Graphics folder).
4. Check if the label file exists in ..\Labels folder (for graphic files, check ..\Graphics folder).
5. Check if the file exists in the global Labels folder (for graphic files, check the global Graphics folder).

If the file cannot be found at any of above listed locations, the action fails and an error is raised.
