I drew a lot of "very artistic" squiggles with the paintbrush on a stack and saved it.

When I reopened my creation everything had gone.

This effectively makes the paint tools useless: what am I missing?

Richmond.

Was everything else, apart from the paint, intact?

Well, as the stack contained only my squiggle on a single card, YES.

Obviously it was stolen, and is now in private hands. Offer a reward.

Joking apart: what use is the brushTool if anything produced with it is wiped out on saving?

Just tested, I can confirm that this is a bug, macOS 14.4.1, LC 9.6.11

There is a related bug report in QCC

I you first place an image object on the card and then use the paint tools to paint into that image it saves with the stack.

Kind regards

As I confine myself to the Open Source version of LiveCode 9.6.3 I will leave it to someone else to report that 'bug'.

I have found it to be the same in LC 8.1.10.

It is interesting to note that somebody else, somewhere else, sorted out that problem in a matter of about 90 minutes.

You can do the same.

For anyone affected by this, all you need to do is create an image object before using a painting tool to paint into it.

Don't worry, I found the masterpiece: it's at the Louvre Museum!

Thank you very much.
