Hi Erik,

Yes. all is possible but some ways of doing are more convenient than  
others.
Storing images in a group (or multiple groups according to the kind  
of images: tool bar icons, cursors,etc.) allows you to find them  
again more easily in the application browser (view by layer) but  
don't make it easy to see them, insert new images into a specific  
group, etc. In addition, often you will move these groups out of the  
card window :-)

As you can *call* any image using its ID (to make it a button icon  
for instance) wherever it is located (it's the reason why many posts  
here and tools (by Xavier and others) have been dedicated to talk  
about/solve conflict issues), one easy way is to use a dedicated  
substack: no additional card in your main stack that might involve  
special navigation handling...

Finally, see http://groups.yahoo.com/group/revInterop/database where  
programmers can reserve IDs ranges for IDE projects released for the  
community in order to avoid the above conflicts :-)

Best Regards from Paris,
Eric Chatonet
