I have just been restructuring the filing of images used in a string of linked projects and I am into final debugging.
I have a target which is building well apart from reporting the build error:
"Failed to copy linked file V:\.....warning triangle.png to output: The file 'V:\.....warning triangle.png' already exists."
The strange thing is the warning triangle in question appears in the output in the correct places. It certainly exists at the location expected in the project structure.
I tried Clean Project, but the error persists. Any other suggestions? Or do I just stick my head in the sand and ignore it!

Re: 'Failed to copy linked file' error
I had this same thing happen. I opened the text editor to manually adjust the path for my image files on a group of topics I'd copied from another project. In doing so, I inadvertently included an extra backslash. A path that should have started "../Resources/Images" was instead "..//Resources/Images." The images appeared properly in the XML Editor view, but I received numerous "failed to copy linked file" errors when I built the target until after I fixed the path.
