Re: LC makes my stack a substack

Mind you, you can save data to, say, a text file.

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

Just to be awkward, and return to the original posting:

Why can't one of the stacks be a substack of the other one?

Re: Send the Stack to the Center of the screen.

I'm a little puzzled by the slippage of your revMenuBar though
Whose revMenuBar would you be referring to? Your comment is a bit decontextualised.

Oh, and as this is you first postage, welcome to these forums.

How long have you been working with LiveCode?

Re: LC makes my stack a substack

OK, OK: probably I am being a bit stupid as usual, so please could you explain HOW you open the second stack from the first stack? - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 14.39.46.png - As THAT does something very odd indeed: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 14.42.12.png - I have NO idea what that stack "revCo..." is....

Re: Rename an Icon?

What IS obvious is that once an image is imported into a stack its ID is immutable. So, the only way an image could appear to have changed its ID is if it is not the original image at all but a copy of it. For instance, if I set up a single card stack with a single image: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at ...

Re: Rename an Icon?

I made a second CARD in my stack, with a new BUTTON, and assigned the same image as in the button on the first card to it: - Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 12.26.08.png - No obvious problems there (image ID still 1003). So, I thought I would try this in a button: on mouseUp set the icon of btn "Another Bu...

Re: Rename an Icon?

Set up a button big enough to accommodate my first image (ID 1003) as an icon:

And that seems all as it should be (ID is still 1003):

Re: Rename an Icon?

Now: at the risk of spoiling some people's fun, an on-topic comment: and a very boring one at that . . . lots of words going down; so I thought I'd do something "babyish" instead: 1. Set up a stack and imported an image into it, and found that the ID assigned to that image was 1003: - Screenshot 202...

Re: Rename an Icon?

As English is one of my 2 native languages, and as I make my 'bread and cheese' by teaching English as a Foreign language, I have learnt that Grammatical Purism can only go so far: after all, the creepy people who write Prescriptive Grammar books need to get out more. And if you ain't sure about tha...

Re: Rename an Icon?

Why not just use 'They' and 'them' and then whatever anyone's gender is, was, is imagined to be, and so on, should not matter at all?

Re: Rename an Icon?

Once an image has been imported into a stack its ID should never change.

The only way I can see someone thinking this is happening is if they are copy-pasting and/or duplicating the image onto different cards.
