Description

It is not clear how we can view the image details for images used in PTXprint's Front Matter file.

I have checked the "Only Show Active Books" option. What this SHOULD mean is that if there are any illustrations, icons, etc. in the PTXprint Front Matter file, and that is checked to be included in the PDF, then those images files should also show up in the Picture Listing too.

If I turn OFF the "Only Show Active Books" option., then I can see and adjust the pictures that are used by PTXprint's Front Matter file. This is counter intuitive.

If a picture is going to print, it should show up in this list regardless of that checkbox. Maybe, since "Front Matter" isn't a "real book" the picture list doesn't see it as an "active book". Right?

I think PTXprint needs to treat "Front Matter" as a real book, so its pictures (if set to print) can be shown PicList when the "Only Show Active Books" option is selected.
