hello oli,  
i tried to load a png for my plugin, but it didnt work. I followed the manual ([https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/blob/master/Documentation/images.md](https://github.com/iPlug2/iPlug2/blob/master/Documentation/images.md)) and did everything accordingly, but it gave me the warning “bitmap not found”.  
if i add the image here:

#ifndef APSTUDIO\_INVOKED  
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
//  
// Generated from the TEXTINCLUDE 3 resource.  
//  
#include “…\config.h”  
ROBOTO\_FN TTF ROBOTO\_FN  
**MYPNG\_FN PNG MYPNG\_FN**  
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////  
#endif // not APSTUDIO\_INVOKED

it works. but since the comment says this should be generated I thought i´m maybe doing sth. wrong…
