Missing button icon

Post by MaxV » Fri May 20, 2016 5:07 pm

Hi,
I created a stack with buttons. On PC buttons have icon image and text, but on mobile button icons disappear :shock:
Here the example, llook the bottom buttons:
PC:

Android:

Why?
Do you have any idea to resolve this?

Hi Massimiliano,

it is probably an ID problem. I have this often when copying groups (LC 8 only).

This may help.
Copy the needed icons to your stack, set their ID to something in the user range, say in range 30000-40000. After that assign the icons again to the buttons, using the new IDs.

HTH, Hermann

Is the icon from a font? If so, make sure in Copy Files in Standlone Settings, you copy the font, too.

You will still need to copy the icons to the stack. There are buttons at the bottom of the icon library to do that. The image ID will probably change, so you'll need to update the icon references in the stack after importing.

I am having a similar problem in that my icons do not show up in the standalone. They are metacard icons built into Livecode. I don't know what you mean by the "Icon Library". How do I see the icon library? The icons that show up when they are selected for a button do not have buttons at the bottom.

In the Development menu, choose Image Library. Select the MC icons and then the particular icon you want to use in the stack. Click "Place image" at the bottom right of the library stack. This will import the icon into your stack. You should note its ID and update the buttons to use that ID as the icon.

I'm using LC 9.0 and the Development Menu does not have an Image Library option.

Apparently not in 8 either. I think you can access the images and library itself just by picking a background pattern (which brings up the library card). If I needed to store that image in the stack itself, I'd just put it on an otherwise blank card and use it from there ?

I don't have that one, only 8.1.3 and 8.1.4, and 9 dp6. I generally don't try rc or dp releases, 9 was a suggestion from Richard. Baranmir might want to test that one out though :)

At any rate, the image library, missing for some versions there, is back to the development menu in these (latest) releases, may be was a few steps earlier.

Accepted, of course. But an option could be to read the release notes ... ;-)
