Ambiguous image ID

Note the following when the same image ID exists in multiple image pools:

You can reference the desired image directly and uniquely (qualified) by appending the ID to the name of the image pool in the following form: <name of image pool>.<image ID>. By specifying the qualified ID, an image file is referenced uniquely in the application code. When accessing an image located in the GlobalImagePool, you do not need to specify the name of the image pool because it is searched there first.
