If you happen to have stacks open that are unrelated to your project, it would be easy for users to assume the icons would always be available, which wouldn't be true.

Yes we really need the concept of an open project to do this properly

Indeed… I think image libraries are deprecated now. At least the menu item is no longer there. It could be it just needs some work. I think the object library probably shouldn’t come back (or only come back when we have something much better that covers widgets and custom controls) but there’s some reasonable use cases still for image libraries. http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17485 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17485>
