VS and Maui don't seem to know about each other or caching is wrong

So I have list of images (png) that correspond to items by name. I have method to remove all none good characters from the name and toLower. The problem is that before I copied all the images to a folder I added one image just to make sure what I was doing was correct. It worked so I had code that worked (yeah sure).

That image has a Build Action of MauiAsset and when I simply use it in a simple Image control it works. I then tried another image with the same Build Action and it failed. I changed it to MauiImage and it worked. Changing the Build Action to MauiAsset and it still worked so I think that VS and Maui which somehow do a partial build depending on what it thinks should be done is wrong.

Now I have about 50 image and I could change each one but WHY????

I am using the ImageSource.FromFile to get the ImageSource but am I required to create them as MauiAsset and the change to MauiImage??

Totally confused as to what is supposed to be the correct way since one works after much screwing around and the other kinda works.

Doing the "batch" way of changing all to MauiImage and then back to MauiAsset now give me the "one or more invalid file names" error. Know that this should be in VS feedback but could the error not indicate which files are "wrong" as in going thru every file there is not one I can see as wrong.

At present its Maui 1,000,000 me 0 in the Maui/VS vs Me.

For further investigation, could you please provide information about your intended and actual behavior, and steps of reproduction? Please refer to How to write a quality question.

In addition, you could refer to Load a local image to get the best practices of loading image.

Images can be added to your app project by dragging them to the Resources\Images folder of your project, where its build action will automatically be set to MauiImage. At build time, vector images are resized to the correct resolutions for the target platform and device, and added to your app package. This is necessary because different platforms support different image resolutions, and the operating system chooses the appropriate image resolution at runtime based on the device's capabilities.
