+
+1. You will need to rename them by keeping the first part of the name only - for example `ChapterPreview-sharedassets0.assets-27.png` becomes `ChapterPreview.png`
+2. It is also possible to use the number (Path ID), but usually you won't do this. In the above example, rename as `27_ChapterPreview.png` (the part after the number is not used, only to describe the file for humans)
