Help - App Can't scan card images starting with an underscore

Okay, does the game have any restrictions on what the file name (for the scan image) should be like? I downloaded two level images from Jomar with no problem, but they both start with an underscore, and the scan function on the game refused to recognize them. I did get them downloaded with the usual 'enlarge the QR code and screenshot' method, but I've never run into this problem before.

 

That sounds like an experiment - a very simple and easy level, minimal, but make sure the filename has an underscore.

 

I'll have to disagree with you on this one, Frenzies, because in this case when I used the scan feature of the game, nothing showed up. I hit the menu next to 'Recent' and tapped on 'download' (which is where they end up anyway), and the two images showed up - but instead of the usual picture of the level on the card, there was a 'missing image' icon instead, the first time I've ever seen that. All the other levels I downloaded that day came through just fine; it was just the two where the filename started with an underscore that did not.

 

Bingo, theory confirmed. I downloaded Jomar's "Battle Bots" again, and as before, the scan function couldn't find the file at all. I went into Total Commander and removed that initial underscore on the file, and the scan feature found it with no problem.

 

It might be on Android devices only. How about anyone else? Can you open files like that on an iPad or whatever?

 

Yes, Total Commander is a file manager for Android (I have a Google Nexus 7). As far as the problem I've been describing, when you check out a level's page, you have the blue & white 'buttons' above the screenshot; the second from the left is the 'download' button - tap that, and the screenshot is downloaded to your device. From there, you use the 'scan' button in Mekorama to read the screenshot and open the level. It's the filename of the screenshot that seems to be causing the problem - some are named "mekorama.png" or "screenshot_whatever.jpg", and the game has no problems reading those. With Jomer's levels (yes, I misspelled the name), the screenshot filename starts with an underscore, and the game doesn't seem to be able to read those.
