First of all, I would avoid editing the group and just address items in
the group directly if you can. For example, if you do:
delete image "face.gif" of grp "TheGroup"
you don't need to be in "editing" mode to do it; you can be just "on the
card" with the browse tool when the command executes and it will work.
However, to get new images *into* a group from the clipboard, there's
not much more you can do that what you're already doing unless you know
the dimensions of the image (width and height) ahead of time.
Ken, thanks for this info. I didn't realise you could edit the individual objects of a
group without putting the group into edit mode - if this is in the docs, I ain't seen it.
As to your second point, what do you mean by the last sentence - what if I **did**
know the dimensions of the image? I'm sorry but I don't quite grasp your meaning here.
The fact is I have a lot of little images I want to do this to, and for other reasons I was thinking
of making them all the same size - so this technique might be relevant to me.
Even if the images (not referenced!) are not of the same size, you can always do:
... put image "face.gif" into img "placeholder image" of grp "TheGroup" ...
"placeholder image" will resize to fit the new "content"...
Check it out, very handy feature, no problems so far... (And a bit less complicated than using "imagedata" ;-)
Hope that helps...
TIA
Graham
