> one can replace theimage library stack without modifying the working stack.=== two queries: 1. is there any trade-off downside to libraries?
Yes, all images in the library are loaded in RAM with the library.
2. are icons in buttons any different?
In general, an icon image and the appearance of a button using the image appear different: the borders don't look the same. However the appearance of a button whose icon is set to the id of an image will be same regardless of whether the image is imported into the stack or referenced from a library.
better make that three: 3. if one somehow copies all of the icon images from a stack to a library stack, then erases the originals, should that run o.k.? it would be great to be able to change the icon images as you progress.
I think I did just that somewhere in the early evolution of Serendipity Library...shortly after I had occasion to have to change an image. In Serendipity Library I took it the extra step of referencing all the images instead of importing them into the library. Now I can "instantly" change all images by switching libraries, or change one image by replacing the image file in the folder.
