You've already figured this out, but for the record: icon libraries are
just one-card stacks with a bunch of images on the first card. If the
name begins with "rev" and the stack is placed in your LiveCode library
folder, then the Icon Library will load it.

Am I the only one who's bothered by the fact that image libraries end
up in the "Icon Libraries" folder and not in the "Image Libraries"
folder? The Image Libraries folder seems to be ignored and I have no
idea what it's for.

I don't have an "Image Libraries" folders. Might it be something you put there ages ago yourself? On the other hand, I've pointed my prefs to the old "My Revolution" folder just for convenience, so maybe that's why I don't have it.

It isn't difficult to write a quick script that imports all the images
in a folder to the first card. Then just name the library stack starting
with "rev", and pop it into that folder.

This would make an excellent addition to the lessons if you'd craft
one of these critters.


Work?! I will keep it in mind during one of my periods of copious free time. Or you could do it... in fact, what a good idea. :)
