Drawn lines aren't updated on images when clients aren't connected

[DM_BK]

I noticed some odd behavior with drawing on images. I have a map that I draw country boundaries on, which gets update fairly frequently but not when any users are connected. I've noticed sometimes (might even be all the time, not sure) people aren't seeing the latest updates when they go to the map.

If I share the map again, it appears they get the updated drawing overlays. Now I only tested that re-sharing when people were connected...I'm wondering if those updates only appear if the person happens to be connected at the time I hit share (again) or if I draw on the map while they are connected.

Does that seem right?

Once shared the map will remain in the players cache; I suspect it will remain there in the state it was last in until it is reshared. Unsharing and resharing whilst no-one is connected won't change that (at least i don't think it will)

Are these maps in the main campaign; or from modules?

Module (that I made)

I tried to recreate this with local campaign maps as well as module maps; but I wasn't able to get the drawings to not appear on the player machine. I'm hoping that we can figure out a specific set of steps that will cause this issue, so I can see what to fix.

* Can you recreate the issue at will following a specific set of steps?
* If so, can you provide the steps?

* How are you opening the GM image window?
* Do you edit in the floating window, or send to background panel?
* Is the image data control sidebar open while you are drawing?
* How are you activating/deactivating drawing mode? (toolbar, right click menu, ...)

* How are players opening the image window? (shared by GM, opened from image list, ...)

Thanks,

Oh, wow, I'm a bit embarrassed now. Sorry for wasting your time. So....it's a non-issue.

I had 2 copies of the map and was opening an old link on the Player side (via a story entry) and the new link on the GM side (from the hotkey bar). Then when I noticed it wasn't update on the PC side, I was re-sharing the new map and all was magically updated.

Sorry!!!!!
