I am not able to use the reimport function on a texture that was imported through an FBX file. The FBX file is FBX 2014, from a model created in Maya LT 2015. I imported the model by right-clicking the blank space in Content Browser and choosing “Import to Game”. I select the FBX file (in this case, G:\Eternal\Media\Maya\FBX\TestCube.fbx). I leave all import settings as default (meaning import texture/material is checked). The model, texture, and material all import fine. The problem comes when I right-click the texture file (in this case: G:\Eternal\Media\Textures\TestBrick.png) in the Content Browser and choose Reimport. Even though I have drastically changed the texture in Photoshop, the texture remains the same. If I double-click the texture to look at the details, I see that Source File Path is referencing the FBX model file and NOT the actual texture. See the image. ![32609-ue4_fbx_tex.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/4X/e/d/3/ed31a8cd75cbe76982a552cdbb3c22aa53ccb00a.jpeg) I believe that the file path should, instead, be pointing to my texture. The way it works now, I would have then import the texture manually, and override the old one. I don’t believe I did anything wrong, so this appears like a bug to me. Please help. ---

Hi! Try copy to clipboard your path G:\Eternal\Media\Textures\TestBrick.png. Then in texture editor in **Details** , place cursor on **Source File Path** and press right mouse button. In dropdown menu choose **Paste**. And press **Reimport**. ---

Thank you, that is a nice trick. However, this still seems like a bug to me. ---

Thank you! Is it possible to automate this process until the fix will be released? I don’t need the full path - just to place a texture name there instead of FBX path (name). Example: after fbx import change Source File Path from MyFbxName.fbx to MYTextureName.tga
