no image should be loaded for "?" in list

[Tobi]

Thank a lot,

it is a good idea with the different slide states. Actually there is
always only one object displayed, so I don't need to specify the
number. However, I can only make up to 10 slide states apparently. As
I have 14 different locations I would need 14, though...
Is there a way to have more than 10?
