In an Umbraco 4.7.0 project I would like to have an /images folder in which I will put (image) files and I will refer to those files from the markup and css.

Now, if I refer to one of the images files in my images folder I get the following error:

No umbraco document matches the url 'http://www.website.local/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=/images/image1.jpg'

umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/* [@urlName = "login"] | /root/*/* [@urlName = "login"]')

Pretty strange xpath to attempt to match, but I guess it is Umbraco's request handler that catches the request, so I have tried adding /images/ to the umbracoReservedPaths key in web.config which did not change anything. I have also tried adding both /images and ~/images/, all causing the same error.

Next thing I tried as workaround was adding the files in a subfolder for the css folder (this is done in at least one of the skins so I figure I could do the same). Partial success. Now I can see image1 on the page and I can refer to it directly like http://www.website.local/css/subfolder/image1.jpg. But the strange thing is that this does not work for image2, 3 and 4. Lol. http://www.website.local/css/subfolder/image1.jpg works, but http://www.website.local/css/subfolder/image2.jpg and so forth still gives me the same error.

So ppl, please explain to me what I am missing here or how image files living somewhere under the same root domain is supposed to be handled in Umbraco 4.7.0.

Thank you in advance.
