referring to other stacks: include .livecode extension

I work on different locations with different OS systems. I experience a lot of troubles when I try to (pre) load stacks under Win10 or Win11. Under Win10 I get away with "start using stack xxx" but under Win11 I have to use "start using stack xxx.livecode" Is this a known issue? And how to resolve t...

Re: image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards

Thanks to all who replied! Really appreciated it because the solution was indeed to drop the shared image and place an image on each card. Fortunately, that was easy to script. So now I have exactly what I want with a unique image on each card. Now that the shared image issue has been resolved, I've...

Re: image is shared between cards instead of unique to the cards

Thanks. When I look at the object properties of my group 'collection' I have checked 'shared group' and 'behave like a background'.

But how can I make the image to not belong to this background group?

I have a stack of about 50 cards with a number of fields and buttons shared in a group 'collection'. Each card has an image (png), belonging to the same group 'collection', that I load from the internet when the card is created.

Re: Printing to PDF stops after some pages

I have a stack of about 12 cards (each card contains 7 fields with 54 lines of text each) that I want to print to a pdf. That works fine up to page 7. On the eighth page, the data that is printed to the pdf stops somewhere halfway. I can send the same file directly to a printer and then all 12 page...

Re: Printing to PDF stops after some pages

No, I'm experiencing this on Win10 and in the IDE environment. No special characters are being used, just plain text.
