Sounds like you're correct, something else is going on. If I understand you
correctly, You have images in your collection, and your settings are to
store them in the common directory, but when you save the data file, they
aren't there?

Can you tell me what version of Tellico and whether you're on Qt5 or Qt6?
Tellico uses the QStandardPaths library class for the directory location.
