Error sending to Indigo Renderer

I get this message:

Error while building scene: Error while loading diffuse material ' 07 Adagio_OVERTONE': Failed to load texture '/Users/jjuibel/Library/Application Support/SkIndigo/TX_default/_07_adagio_overtone.jpg': Invalid num components 4: Only 1 or 3 component JPEGs are currently supported..

Questions:
1) In Sketchup, is it possible to identify where a specific texture (' 07 Adagio_OVERTONE') is being used in a model?
2) Is the space in the front of the name of the texture causing a problem?
3) what does that cryptic last sentence actually mean? What is a 'component jpg"?

Thanks for your help

It is some weird texture that has an unusual number of colour channels (components). Can you please email the file to me? (nick@indigorenderer.com). I've been trying to catch one of these for a while :)

- Open material window
- Click house symbol to display only the materials which are in the model
- Open context menu and change to list view
- Right click on the material name and choose select

Apparently the context menu in not available on Mac. Or am I not looking in the right place? I see no list option.

So, after a bit of research, it turns out these 4-component JPEGs are in the CMYK colour space, and are saved out by Photoshop.
I have added support for them to Indigo, so the next Indigo version (3.6.10) will be able to load them.
