Ben, if you could edit the PNGs to add a 1% tone to the transparent areas (maybe with a batch process) this allows LC to accept the clicks within the image area. The advantage of this is you could have a 1 % tone inside the area you need be active and completely transparent where you don’t

The fontNames is a built-in function, but there’s no built-in function for ink names AFAIK, however, that doesn’t stop you form creating a custom function, something like this should work for an option menu button (edit as appropriate): on mouseEnter if word 1 of the selectedObject = "image"

Configurable sounds like a great idea to me too. I’d like to see a more defined break from the regular handlers if that’s possible. Also there is a Typo - PasteKey in the Field script is missing the “P” - it just states asteKey, I wondered what that was! :) Paul > On Jul 11, 2017, at 8:01

This looks like it may be a bug on Mac OS, or just a difference in the way the OS works. I see the same problem using LC 8.1.5(rc1) on Mac OS Sierra 10.12.4, but if I give the file a more complete path (which I would normally do), then it does work: export snapshot from group "abc" to file
