Hi,

I think I'm missing something here. I am trying to create some custom buttons in a stack.

I have imported images using the Image Library stack, into the target stack. But when I do that, it puts a copy of those images in the center of the stack.
If I delete them, they disappear from the Image Library stack.

I tried creating a New Library, and putting them in there, but when I closed and reopened my stack later, they were no longer listed in the library. For that matter, my custom library is missing, too.

But the actual problem I'm trying to solve is embedding custom images in a stack, so I can use them on buttons. How do I do that?

Thanks!

Hi Chilton,
Yes, there is a lesson somewhere that is all too complicated and I think you found it!
Some people use a new card to store all their images on, this card is never visited. You just use the image ID for the icons of the buttons.
I just turn the visibility off the image, it'll still show up in the button.

I'm going to be bold and crazy here, just forget about the image library thing, it's just a hassle.

edit: use File > Import As Control to get your images in the stack.

Okay, I can work with that.

Thanks!
