That's what I do too. Each card has a custom property containing the name
of the image that loads in preopencard.
You may be remembering shared fields which can contain different text per
card even if they're part of a group.

Thanks, Peter.
I added a little opencard script to load the image for each card,
which is fine and solves the immediate problem.
But I was quite certain that in the past, I had a stack, with an
image control in a background that would keep a unique image for
each card without scripting. I must be dreaming/getting forgetful
in my old age!

That’s where a image that is not part of the group is useful; it’s only on
that card. Otherwise you would have to set the background image dynamically
on preOpenCard based on stored data about that image/card combination.

Right, which is why this is so confusing. I do not want a 'shared text' image.
Each card should keep it's own unique image, but when I change the image on
one card, all the cards end up with the same image. That is what I want to fix.

This is driving me nuts.
Have a 'background' group with an image. If I change the filename of an
image on one card, ALL the cards change to that image. Yet a field in the
same group properly will take unique values for each card.
I know I've done this before... what setting am I missing??
Dropbox link to test stack:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/0r0ku3fw2i2pen7/test.livecode?dl=0
fields can have a "sharedtext" property, so they can hold different text on
each card if part of a group.
Images can NOT!
Any help appreciated!
