Re: Grouping question
Hey Pete, Why not create an image in the group you want, then use the put URL method: create image in group GroupName of stack StackName put it into tImageID --long id of image put URL (binfile: tPathToImage) into image tImageID of group GroupName of stack StackName Marty Knapp I want to use the import command in a script to import an image from a file of the user's choice. The catch is that I want the resulting image to end up in a group and, unlike the create command, the import command doesn't have a way to specify a group. In the past when I've run into this, I get the ids of the group's controls, ungroup the group, add the id of the new image to the list of group controls, then group them, or copy the control into the group and delete the original control. Both those methods seem somewhat clumsy so I'm wondering if there's a more elegant way to do this.

Re: Grouping question
Well I guess neither of the methods I mentioned will work since the import command does not give me the id of the image it creates, at least not in the it variable or the result. So I guess I'm back to using the create command which solves the issue of getting the image into the correct place, along with setting the filename of the image after I create it. But that ends with with a referenced control, which I don't want. I hope I'm missing something obvious.
