Restore the non-searchable image in chat log

I didn't know that when I deleted an image from the library, the character image in the chat log also appears as an non-searchable image. Is there any way to restore the image of the character that has been deleted in chat log ? Or the way I can put another image in. I know that not only myself but also others are suffering from this problem. I'll be glad to hear any solution.
Hello 물초, I am sorry to hear that you have encountered this issue with a deleted Art Asset.  Unfortunately, if you have deleted an Art Asset, it will remove it from all places that use the Art Asset. There is no way to restore it.   To help prevent this issue moving forward, you can find additional information on using the  Art Library on the Wiki page .  We hope this information helps.

Dragon Dreamer is right. The image you see in the chat log is not a unique file (the chat log would be enormous!) It is merely a pointer to where the image is stored in your library. If you are in the habit of exporting your chat log, and know a little bit of HTML, you could open the local file and find-replace all the instances of one img reference with another, one that you have hosted elsewhere. But I don't know if that would be worth the effort.

But I don't know if that would be worth the effort. I'd like to print the chat log as a book. If the way to modify HTML is simple, I would like to try it. If you know how, can you teach me? It's okay if it's not. Thank you for your kind replys!

It's kind of a rabbit hole, and it depends on how you have saved the files. In general, you look for an image tag like this: <img src="Chat%20Log%20for%20Tales%20from%20High%20Harbor_files/30.jpg"> You need to discover what image it was supposed to be from the surrounding context. "<img src=" is the html that cues you in that an image is being called. You can either replace that name in the quotes with a local file reference or a web address of another image hosted elsewhere. In this case, the image address above was already a local address, so all I would really need to do would be to find that file called "30.jpg" and replace it with another file called '30.jpg". The page will then display the new image. In the long run, unless you are working with a very long chat archive with only a few needed replacements, it's probably not worth the effort.
