I was wondering why if you create module of images and open it, when you drop a link into the images folder it does not create a local copy. When you do this with Items, NPC's it works fine. Is it just the lack of a OnDrop script that could be added. Is it some kind of copyright thing.

Thanks in advance

Generally speaking, for security reasons - FG doesn't support the creation for external files by rulesets. Is for this reason they didn't allow the use the parts of LUA functionality that deals with file manipulation.

In case you didn't know, images can be just dynamically dropped in the image folder of the campaign while FG is running and the image will just show up so if you really need a second copy you can make one. Making a second copy kinda defeats the purpose of having the images in a module I would think. Are you trying to do something special?
