I usually use the preOpenCard approach with background images but have
occasionally wanted to have a set of images on individual cards that do not
change dynamically over time. In that case I’ve used an image that was NOT part
of the background group. To create a new card (with a new image), I u
Just import an image for a card and set its level to 1: no 'nonsense' about
background images at all.

That's what I do too. Each card has a custom property containing the name
of the image that loads in preopencard.
You may be remembering shared fields which can contain different text per

Thanks, Peter.
I added a little opencard script to load the image for each card,
which is fine and solves the immediate problem.
But I was quite certain that in the past, I had a stack, with an
image control in a background that would keep a unique image for
each card without scripting. I must
That’s where a image that is not part of the group is useful; it’s only on that
card. Otherwise you would have to set the background image dynamically on
preOpenCard based on stored data about that image/card combination.

Each card should keep it's own unique image, but when I change
the image on one card, all the cards end up with the same image.
That is what I want to fix.
