Error on saving package for review

[ajturnersurrey]

Has anyone else suffered this error on trying to save packages for review:

I have saved 4 packages previously from this project, but it doesn't want to do this one!

Any clues as to what might be wrong?

What happens when you click Continue?

(URI is a path to a resource, like a web address or path to a file. The error seems to indicate that .NET's error handling picked up a problem with a URI in the package somewhere.

Sadly, on "continue" it is happy to continue with other things but no review package has been saved!

Interestingly I have narrowed this down to being unable to save a review package if it includes one particular topic .... but have yet to figure out what is broken about this topic - by all measures it just an "average" topic!?

Look at the links inside the topic for any odd-looking characters, invalid paths, etc.

Cracked it -

it was down to a screenshot saved in Capture, with a # character in the title

I had saved the screenshot as IP_VLANs_#1_menu.png, interestingly its .props file had not been properly created because of the # character and there was only a file called IP_VLANs_ without any #1_menu.png.props

When I had inserted the picture into the topic it was referenced as IP_VLANs_%231_menu.png in the xml and showed up on screen in the editor perfectly well.

Once this screenshot was saved and inserted with a new # free filename I was finally able to send the topic for review!

Glad you managed to fix it. Thanks for letting us know the resolution.
