Thanks Richmond, but I'm not looking for an example of this working successfully! ;-)

Rather, I want to understand why the images I import into an 'images' card in a 'resources' substack in my app's MainStack don't appear in the Image Library automagically - and what I can do to rectify this.


Any main stack that starts with 'rev' is considered part of the IDE environ, thus Livecode will invisibly add it to the stacksInUse. Your substack is not part of a such a stack, so is not considered a library resource.

Your stack named 'revKeithImgLib' will appear in the drop down menu, but the import to another stack won't be done unless you write a script to do so. Try using "New Library..." btn and see how the result becomes an IDE resource.

Also, if you look at the script of the revImageLibrary stack, you will probably find the answer to your single question and many more (such as how you could automate import from a folder, for example)

Hope this helps

Now this has been answered, can I ask the 'reverse' question - how to make the Image Library recognise an existing 'Resources' substack within its 'This Stack' view?
Best,
Keith..


Go here:

http://andregarzia.on-rev.com/richmond/revLibs/revLibFlags128.rev

download the thing . . .

Open Livecode, open revLibFlags128.rev and then Development/Image Library:
the revLibFlags.rev shows up in the 'This Stack" section.
