Cannot Convert HSF to GSM with embedded image

arad — Tue, 03 Feb 2026 02:01:30 GMT

I’m trying to create a GSM with embedded images from HSF using LP_XMLConverter.

However, when I run the converter, I get the following error and the conversion fails:

error: Error in image section ; Invalid Image File - could not open for reading

The image is just a normal PNG file.

What could be causing this, and how can I fix it so the conversion succeeds?

I don't think hsf2l can embed new graphics.

At least, it doesn't work for me.

I always use

“pathOfLP_XMLConverterExecuteable” x2l -img “imageFolderPath” ‘xmlFolderPath’ “binaryFolderPath”

which works very well.

I tried it with x2l and it worked.

However, when I tested it previously, I believe image embedding also worked with HSF.

The issue with HSF has not been resolved yet, but for now I have been able to avoid the situation where embedding is not possible.

Thank you very much.
