Hi everyone,

Recently, I saw some remonstrations about Rev behaviour when importing 
images :-(
By pasting go url 
"http://www.sosmartsoftware.com/downloads/Import%20Images%20Patch.rev" 
in the message box, you will display a patch stack which improves (does 
not solve all issues) when importing images.
This patch was tested with Rev 2.2.1, 2.5 and 2.5.1. (build 77) on Mac 
OS X and Win XP.

What does this patch do?

First, this patch saves the components/tools/ revmenubar.rev file as 
components/tools/revmenubar old.rev.
So, if needed, you can revert to the previous state by trashing the 
revmenubar.rev file and renaming the revmenubar old.rev as 
revmenubar.rev.
It's the least I could do :-)

Second, it modifies some script in the revmenubar stack in order to:
- Change the ID of any imported image by adding 1000 to the ID assigned 
by the engine.
This should avoid some of the problems reported when importing images.
- Display multiple imported images in cascade. So you can see all of 
them :-)

Best regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.
