It used to be that any image imported into a stack, regardless of the original format, was converted to RLE. Is that still the case, or are they now saved as the original jpg, png, etc. ?


Well?

If there is a way to tell what format an embedded image in a stack is in one could work this out.

Yup: I know that does not answer your question, and is pretty darn circular; but . . .

I remember posting a question about this in about 2002 (!!!!!!!) as I was then working on a commercial project in Scotland for teaching High School kids a sort of dumbed-down Music theory and history (the one who was the dumbest was me as the company didn't pay me any more than 10% of what I had been promised). I remember that although I was converting all my images into GIFs they were bloating when imported into Livecode/RR 2.0.1; and that was explained to me on the Use-List because of the conversion into an internal format.

If RLE is what I think it is (Run-length encoding) then it is an antiquated Windows 3-ish sort of
bitmap which has gone the way of the dinosaurs everywhere else.
