How is the "n_images" value calculated for a "dat_shpl_type" instance?

When I add an additional image/frame to a DAT file using the PR utility, the value of "n_images" does not change. As a workaround, I increment the value in the code for the corresponding "resource" variable value. Without the workaround the image associated for the frame does not get displayed.
The way I add a frame is by adding a line like this to the GUARD.DAT section of the "resources.xml" file and importing the change into the DAT file.
In the code it looks like the "n_images" file comes from the DAT file. I wonder why it is not getting incremented by the PR.
