[Qgis-user] Composer Atlas: How get rid of the big red cross when there is no image?

[Bernd Vogelgesang]

Hi,
I set up a neat atlas for displaying a row of 50 sample plots. On a second  
page, I want to show 2 pictures taken of these plots automatically with an  
expression including the path || @atlas_pagenumber || '_1.jpeg' or  
'_2.jpeg' to display up to two photos named e.g. 1_1.jpeg, 1_2.jpeg.

This works really great! The problem is, that for some plots, we do not  
and have any picture or only one. In composer, these missing images are  
marked with a big red cross.
Unfortunately, these red crosses are also exported, which looks quite  
shitty.

Is there any clever way of forcing QGIS not to export these place holders  
but just not to print anything at this place?

The only (boring) idea I came up with till now, was to create empty white  
images and name them accordingly to avoid the red crosses.

Thanx
Bernd
