Not a biggy, but noticed it during testing and thought I'd report.

Expected Behavior: double-clicking an enemy creature (on the map, on client opens a picture of creature.

Observed Behavior: double-clicking an enemy creature on client does nothing. Opening console on client reveals message: "desktop: Unable to create window with invalid class (asset_preview_actor)"

Steps to Reproduce:
Create New campaign under 5E ruleset.
Import Durin Stonefist from tutorial campaign.
Add Durin Stonefist to CT
Drag Durin Stonefist's token to any image map.
Add any NPC to CT
Drag NPC to same map as Durin Stonefist
Reveal NPC
Connect with client and take ownership of Durin Stonefist on client.
On host, share image map containing Durin Stonefist and NPC
On client, double-click NPC on map

I'm not following these steps. You shared an image of a PC but not the NPC. So why would double clicking an NPC bring up an unshared image of them? I'm also not sure that it is expected that double clicking an NPC should bring up a shared image of them. I'm assuming here that you double click on the NPC token on the CT - I have tried this and it doesn't do anything as you say but it's not throwing up the error that you mention either. I also wasn't aware that this was expected behaviour; I can't find anything in the patch notes to say this was added. I can bring up the map that a token is on if I double click the token on the CT for player (client and DM) or an NPC (DM).

Is this something that only happens if you import that PC from the 5e tutorial campaign? I just tested with PCs and NPCs that I already had on the CT.

Sorry for being unclear.

1.> The expected behavior is from the latest patch notes (see attached screenshot)

2.> Share the image that Durin Stonefist's token is on (not share an image of Durin Stonefist).

3.> If you placed the NPC on the same map as Durin Stonefist (as instructed), the sharing of that map will be sharing the map for both creatures.

4.> Double-clicking the token of the NPC on the map, on the client side (because on host side, no creatures should be unowned), not the token in the CT.

Hah, I looked through the patch notes but didn't think it was added in the last patch since I didn't remember it. Thanks for clarifying.

EDIT: I have now tested this and it is actually working for me. I haven't exactly followed your steps however; I just used my current campaign so not sure what is going on.

The campaign you tested with: was it 5E?

Perhaps it was my choice of NPC. I used an Aboleth from the 2024 Monster Manual

I've got this one; will get it fixed next time I patch CoreRPG. Should be soon-ish; but got some other fixes I'm working on.
