Error: Cannot locate image Mask.png

[NeilAllison147]

So I've been experimenting with applying a mask to my images.
However, as is usually the case, I try to do too many things at once and end up getting nowhere so I have decided to stop my journey into the world of masks for now.
I removed the mask image from the overlay manager and I have also disabled the Mask module in the module manager.
However, I'm still getting the following error in the allsky.log file: -

Why does it still think there is a mask applied?

@NeilAllison147, did you disable the Mask module for daytime and nighttime flows?

[NeilAllison147]

Yep. I disabled that, too.

@Alex-developer, any thoughts?

[Alex-developer]

Which module were you using to apply the mask?

In that module make sure that the mask field is empty. Also can you attach a screenshot of the daytime flow as if the module is disbaled it should not even be looking for a mask.

Thanks

@Alex-developer @EricClaeys
I've found the issue.
I misunderstood the whole process of using the mask.
I added Mask.png in the overlay editor (incorrectly) but then I deleted the image because it wasn't any good.
However, it still had an entry in the overlay.json file.
I removed that entry and it is now all working perfectly (with the mask added correctly)

Thanks for taking the time to investigate. :)

@Alex-developer, does the overlay editor display a message if a referenced image of any type doesn't exist?
