Standalone:

i.e. More of the same.

UTR here. Was that image imported or linked? If the latter, I'd wager a path difference accounts for what you're seeing.

[richmond62]

No: I ALWAYS import images.

Hi Richmond,

9.6.3 RC 3 IDE:

Last version is LiveCode 9.6.2 rc 3, not 9.6.3 rc 3 for me
When do you import image ? Before or after building standalone
Kind regards

What does UTR mean?

@Richmond
Is this problem different than this one?

9.6.3 RC 3 IDE

Sorry: in such a filthy temper just before a class with tinies I got the number wrong. Indeed: 9.6.2 RC 3

No, it isn't, but in such a filthy temper just before a class with tinies I couldn't locate that other thread.

Would be most grateful if someone could merge the two threads.

Would be most grateful if someone could merge the two threads.

Done!

Maybe you can post the image that went black in your standalone?

[richmond62]

Done!

Thank you very much.

ALL the images except for the one on the first card went black.

Sorry, been processing bug reports. UTR = Unable To Reproduce

Here's the whole stack: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5j498gbvuuhyn ... e.zip?dl=0

UTR = Unable To Reproduce

I thought that was called a vasectomy.

Thanks Richmond to conforte me for external files use
Same issue with OSX 10.14.6 LC 9.6.1
No image in cd 2 of standalone

Stack in IDE on left, standalone on right

[mind you "standalone" is a misnomer in this case: mair like 'collapse in the sheuch as isnae mensfu']

Still a load of *(&^%$#@ with LC 9.6.2 RC 5

tried a build with LC 8.2.0 DP 2 and got this:

So part of the problem may lie with MacOS 11.4 beta 1 . . . but as I cannot see Apple pulling their finger
out for LiveCode . . .

This is becoming a big pain in the bum as most of my current work depends on PNG images.

[richmond62]

My 2021 Summer school in LiveCode programming will use LiveCode 9.5.1
as my animation and game development sections rely heavily on image
integrity . . .

. . . why are we worried about "improvements" to LC
when new versions seem to go backwards rather than forwards?

Hello all,

There is a (not so popular) property, called

Code: Select all

paintcompression

When an image is changed with a paint tool, it is recompressed the next time you leave the card it's on. The format in which it is compressed is set by the global

Code: Select all

paintCompression

property.

By default, the global

Code: Select all

paintCompression

property is set to "rle" in standalones and "png" in the development environment.

@Richmond
I believe that if you

Code: Select all

set the paintcompression to "png"

in the preopenstack handler, then the issue will be fixed in the standalone.

See the dictionary entry for more details.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,
Panos
