BR: are you keeping your stacks next to the images?
like this
~/Dropbox/Pet Project/animals.livecode
~/Dropbox/Pet Project/img/dangerous-pets/tiger.jpg
and if you set the image filename to "img/dangerous-pets/tiger.jpg"
it fails?

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
