Correct process for adding a Card image to existing Morph Asset

Situation:  i have created a morph, then updated rigging, ERC-Freezed, and then saved out morph as a Morph Asset.  I have put the Card image for the morph in the relevant asset subfolder. Now i just need to add this image location to the morph and save the change.

Question: What's the correct process for adding a Card image to the morph and then re-saving the updated Morph?

Asking only because i dont want to end up with duplicate formulas, which i am plagued with when resaving morphs (not sure if that's relevant here.)

    If the card is named exactly the same as the morph, it should appear automatically - or at least they used to. {in the same folder}

    If you mean the images you see in the Shaping tab, then left click the "cog" on the morphs dial, and select "Parameter Settings" from the list.

    In the new window you will see the two color channels for the dial, just below those you will see the slot for loading a "Card".

    After loading the PNG into the slot click "Accept" to close the window, if you are doing this during the initial setting up of the morph then save it as a "Morph Asset", but if you are updating an existing Morph Asset then use "Save Modified Assets" instead.

    Clear the scene and reload the figure to see if the card saved correctly.

    I have updated the Card images for my existing Body and Hand morphs.

    If i click Save Modified Assets, the dialogue box says changes will be made to Gensis 8_1 Male.dsf but I didn't modify that asset... is that normal?  (See attached image.)

    (All i did was load Dev Load Gen 8.1 Male and then change the card images for those two morphs, i didnt do anything else...)

    Sadly yes that is normal, the IK system is "forced" onto every figure as it's being loaded, and that "flags" the figures main DSF asset as having been modified, which is why they show up in that list.
