Mark, Sorry, I was not crystal clear. When I was talking of copying a picture, I was actually transferring the imageData (As an alternative, I also tried to use "import snapshot", what works fine and perhaps a bit quicker). You are quite right with the screen unlocking between the two handler in my second solution - it was my reason to try the first one first ;-) And you are perfectly right in suspecting the geometry manager: it is certainly the culprit: in my first solution it does its work AFTER the handler resizing the image is completed. And the size of images was set in reference to a "geometrized" rectangle graphic. So of course the image size corresponds to the previous size of this graphic... I foresee a nice moment to write scripts to control the size of a good amount of objects.
Still many thanks, and all the best Jacques Le 15 déc. 2009 à 12:58, Mark Schonewille a écrit : > Hi Jacques, > > When you copy a resized picture, Revolution may restore the original > dimensions.
