Can't edit textures in 2015 on a Mac with yosemite

Jakeypoos · 21 Jul 2015, 21:43

In Sketchup 8 I use to select a texture, edit it in preview and when I saved it it changed right there in the model.

In 2015 when I select a texture to edit I get a failed to load message, and sometimes when it does open I have to save a copy so the texture doesn't change in the model. I have to reapply the texture or use the replace texture extension. This doesn't work on a model with any degree of complexity as the textures don't fit properly. Are there any solutions and is Sketchup working to fix this bug?

Thanks

There have been lots of posts about this issue since Apple changed the way 'Preview' saves files...
It can still be done with some skulduggery, but I just use 'GrafphcConvertor 9' instead/...

Thanks. if Graphics converter9 saves edited textures straight back into 2015 I may buy it.

Is this because you are using Preview as the texture editor? I use GIMP--maybe this works with Yosemite? Albeit I am not using Yosemite.
