Perhaps it comes from the fact that you can do this...
put imageValue into image "Image 1"
... and it is the same as this...
set the text of image "Image 1" to imageValue
...just the same as setting the text of a field.

Hi Dar,
when I first tried to make use of the "text" property of images (someone on the list
mentioned this property, maybe it was you?) I found that setting the text of an image to an
imagevalue - as you describe it above -just produces a white and blank image, in case the
imagevalue used was the "text" of the image extracted before:
Putting the text of an image into a global (or elsewhere)
"put the text of image x into imagetext"
and then
"set the text of image x to imagetext"
produces a white and blank image.
Maybe I am missing something very simple here, but all variations I tried with the
"text" property failed.-
The solution I showed in my earlier post of this thread (today) does *not* make
use of the text property, but converts the imagedata chars to text chars, which
can then indeed be used to restore the original image.
And this opens the possiblity to store imagedata as plain text, which is what I
guess Paolo intended.
Best regards,
