There are two things:
First, the JavaEditor doesn't like dots '.' in the file path
because it gets confused with the naming conventions
(you know, these ".base.111" endig rule thingies).
This might happen with the ".xvpic" directories.

Second, the editor traverses directories recursively, and when
there are two instances of the same image file, only one of them
stays in the end. If the backup files have the same name as
the original, they might actually replace it.


What I can do is make the editor ignore all directories
starting with a dot character. I guess that would
make sense anyways and most likely fix your problem.
