RE: Import as image as control. Where is it?
Klaus, I don't think I get it. 2 questions: How is.. Set the filename of your image to the modified file on disk Different from... put url(binfile: the filename of img Your image here“) into img Your image here“ This is for a mobile app. So even though the stack is carrying the weight of the imported image I still need to put the original imported image into the copy file pane of the standalone setting if I want change it and then return to the original image?

Import as image as control. Where is it?
I have an image control that was created by Import image as control. In some cases I want to change the image to one located on disk and then back to the original. In the property inspector the filename is empty. Where is the imported image and how do I reference it?

No! Once the image has been „imported“, what: put url(„bifile: … into image XYZ does) you do not need the image file, since it is not referenced anymore. Hope that helps! :-) Thanks!!

Re: Import as image as control. Where is it?
if the filename property is empty, store the text of the image to a property or variable, pop in your new image, then to revert, set the text of image whatever to the text you stored in the property. If there IS a filename set, and you want to do the flippy floppy, store the filename instead, and set it back when you're done.
