Might be to do with your server connection. The OPI isn't
working. Put a space in front of one of your images so that
quark indicates that its missing. Use the print command to
get this message then update the image from the server. This
forces the OPI to work. Since you have not altered the picture
it will be 'replaced' keeping all original quark modifications.
