Character sprites now won't auto hide after sub folder placement

[GMHLee]

Hi there, recently decided I wanted to tidy up the images folder.
To do that apparently I needed to rename all image names with undcerscored to replace the spaces IF placed into a sub folder of the images folder.
That works, but now all "show character x" will only display the character over the top of the original if the scene hasn't been cleared.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Don't use underscore:
- 'eileen happy' and 'eileen normal' are images with tag 'eileen' so they will replace each other,
- 'eileen_happy' and 'eileen_normal' are two different images that can be shown onscreen simultaneously.

Ah I see, then there's a problem. Using spaces when in a sub folder will cause it to fail and not find the image.

Anyway, you can define images manually.

Wouldn't I have to do that for every image?
