Missing icons in standalone

Post by neville » Thu Apr 24, 2008 4:37 am

Icons from the Metacard icon library fail to show up in the standalone (mac or PC) version of my stack, although the Standard Icons are OK. I'm using an old version of RR (2.2) --- was this a bug in that version or am I missing some setting in the Standalone Settings?

This is a known issue. See http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=4298

For now, what you'll have to do is to copy the icon image into your stack before you assign it as an icon to the button. To do so, open the image library from the Development menu > Image Library. Find the image you want to use as your button icon and select it, then click the Place Image button. It should place a copy of the image on your card. Now just hide the image, open your button and choose Icons and Borders from the popup list. Click the button next to the icon field to bring up the icon library (which is the same thing as the image library), and choose This Stack from the popup list. Then just select the image you previously copied from the image library. Now it should be there permanently, even after you save as a standalone.

Thanks asayd. I found the work-around myself after wasting a day, wish I'd asked earlier. I'm dismayed to find the bug persists in 2.9.
