Hi Sannyasin, I just woke up and I’m not sure I am following what you are trying to do at all, except that you are wanting images to be preloaded into your stack.
Are you doing Import As Control —> Image File That should load preload the image into memory into your stack so you don’t experience a delay. I hope that helps. If I’m not following things, then never-mind. I’ll look at this again when I am more awake.
