Perhaps both you and others
Quite possibly.
But it "weren't" me that started making 'funny OT noises' anent s/he.

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:
-
-
2. Imported a second image, and found that the ID assigned to that image was 1004:
-
-
All incredibly pedestrian, as expected, and "babyish".
Now let's see if I can muck 'things' up.

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):

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:

No obvious problems there (image ID still 1003).
So, I thought I would try this in a button:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image ID 1004
end mouseUp
And the button went BLANK!
So I tried this:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image ID 1004 of card ID 1005
end mouseUp
and the button "threw a bluey".
This:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set the icon of btn "Another Button" to the ID of image "figureY.jpg" of card ID 1005
end mouseUp
was also NBG.
This:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set the icon of btn "Another Button" to image "figureY.jpg" of card "cFIRST"
end mouseUp
while NOT throwing up a warning, did NOT assign an icon.
This DID:
Code: Select all
on mouseUp
set the icon of btn "Another Button" to the short ID of image "figureY.jpg" of card "cFIRST"
end mouseUp
Which, quite frankly, strikes me as a very clunky way to do things.
WHAT is the difference between a
short ID and an
ID?

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 12.48.24.png (47.04 KiB) Viewed 3856 times
-
and then CLONE that card:
-
- Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 12.50.10.png (91.49 KiB) Viewed 3856 times
-
We find that the 'same' image on the new card has been assigned a NEW ID:
-
- Screenshot 2024-03-26 at 12.51.35.png (75.95 KiB) Viewed 3856 times
-
And, of course, the reason the image has been assigned a new ID is because it is NOT the same image as the one on the first card.
