New Library...

[Dixie]

From the 'development' menu ---> Image Libaray.. it seems it is possible to create a new Library... How can you refer to this Library as opposed to the library that is the default one for the stack ?

What syntax is used to refer to it ? Is it something like 'image ID 2344 of library 'theOtherLibrary'. What advantages are there to having more that one Library ?... How do you attach the new library to the stack ?

thanks

Dixie, I have created new image libraries in the IDE for things like collections of additional icons, application and web link logos, country flags in all sizes, etc, and just refer to them by their new number assigned as I add them, not by their library name - that appears to just be an IDE convenience. I name them appropriately, like Flags 18x13, Flags 32x22, etc. I just have to keep each set's license info in a separate record in case I use them in a distributable. When I place them, they retain their original file name.

Walt - those sound interesting. Are the images proprietary or are they something that could be uploaded to revOnline?

The icons are from many sources, but the most extensive set appears to be at openiconlibrary.sourceforge.net. They have assembled a very large number of open source icons along with their licenses. All require some kind of attribution. The numbers are huge so I'm not sure you would want to repost them.
