This discussion took off in an interesting new direction, but the original
question has been ignored. Yes, Irv, this does refresh and save the cast
sizing info for the image:
member(i, "Images"). filename = "D:\Images\FileName.tif"
castLib("Images").save()
Doing this for a hundred casts and thousands of images every time an image
is edited is a nuisance, and is a lengthy procedure. So the original
question was:
Is there a smarter/more efficient way to refresh the sizing info that is
stored in the cst file for the external cast? Is trhere some way to force
the cast to refresh its stored sizing info for its images each time the
cast is opened by the movie (without looping through all members and
reassigning the filename, which is already correct anyway)?
This refreshing is necessary because otherwise, when the movie starts, and
this is executed:
castLib("Images").filename = "D:\Casts\MyImages.cst"
after some of the images in the cast have been edited/resized, the sizing
info in the cast is not refreshed, and the older image dimensions are
reported. The display is still fine and does reflect the new dimensions,
but member(i, "Images").width and member(i, "Images").height display the
outdated dimensions to the user. And quite apart from what is displayed to
the user, I suspect other quirks may result from having incorrect
dimensions in the cast.
