Okay I updated the function to return an array to account for properties that are in array form. It returns a numbered array with two keys, the long ID of the object, and the property of each object you passed as an argument. I had to remove the sorting though because I am not about to sort an a

Well an object that appears on multiple cards will of course show up multiple times when you go from card to card. That is why my function ignores duplicates. But it is all probably quite moot anyway, at least for ID's because the vast majority of people don't care about them. So I wrote my func

Thanks Richmond and Pete. What I want it for is to set the ID of the image I just created to theHighestID +1. Obviously, if I just created an image, those functions will return that image ID. As promised, I have written a function that I think is fairly bullet proof. It checks for an invalid o

Yup. And I want to reuse all those wasted ID's that the Datagrid left behind. I am writing a function using repeat loops and if I lock screen and messages it is quite fast. I Will post it when I am done for anyone who might find it useful. Bob On Mar 21, 2012, at 9:49 AM, J. Landman Gay wrot

Maybe "get the ID of the last image of stack "xyz"? Not sure if that would work or not, I seem to remember having problems with using the "last" keyword in the past but I think that was specifically to do with groups. Pete On Wed, Mar 21, 2012 at 9:49 AM, J. Landman Gay wrote: > On 3/21/12 11:25

Can anyone think of a quick way (other than a repeat loop) to determine the highest ID of all the image files in a stack? Since I have a datagrid, the assigned ID is way up there and I want to keep my image files in sequence. It would be great if there were a command to get ALL the objects of a
