When I set it to "s1", and look in the inspector, .....
If I do it in the app it has 1531 - and displays the Dreamcard splash.
If I do this *in* the library stack, it has 1531, and displays as my image.
If I do it in the app in Rev 2.2.1 it also has 1531, and it works (i.e. 
displays my image).

If I do this all in Rev 2.2.1, and set it to "hq", the inspector shows 
1528 and it displays the Rev image.
Again, doing this *in* the library stack in Rev 2.2.1 also shows 1528, 
and displays my image.
