I've got a graphic with its foregroundpattern set to 9, one of the

On OS X, the graphic draws pure white. On Windows, it crashes the
whole app the moment I make the graphic visible.
It looks like the patterns are not being included in the standalone.
Anyone have experience with this? Am I going to have to hunt down the
pattern and include a copy in my stack? The standalone builder
doesn't have an option to copy them over, and to be honest, I always
thought that was unnecessary.
Jacque,
I could swear that an earlier version of the Standalone Builder
allowed you to include the standard image and pattern libraries. I
posed a question about this a few months ago, but didn't get any
response. I think it's needed, because if you use images or patterns
from the "standard" or even *shudder* Metcard libraries ;-) they
disappear in the standalone.
If this isn't done already, I'll submit a feature enhancement to
QCzilla. Anybody know anything about this?
I didn't see anything in bugzilla about it, but if you do submit I'd
suggest doing it as a bug rather than as an enhancement request. Just
the fact that missing patterns crash Windows is enough to qualify it as
a bug, but even if that didn't happen, it is something people expect as
part of the standalone building process. If patterns aren't included
automatically, there should at least be an option to include them in the
SB just as you can include cursors now.
I'd just like to reiterate that there used to be such an option in the
distribution builder. I still have 2.1.2 installed and have checked
this. In the inclusions pane there was a check box labelled: "image and
pattern libraries" which allowed you to select any combination of the
following for inclusion: standard icons, meta card icons, default
patterns and meta card patterns.
Apparently this got lost along the way.
