Before that, I reported bugs: if you put pictures in a folder, they start to be sorted alphabetically, and they cannot be sorted manually.
Now, if the pictures are in the folder and I sort them correctly, then everything is displayed correctly for me, and some of the pictures disappear for the players.
In the last game, I made a clearing and a tree in the city. I made sure that it was in the "visible to all" mode. And I can see the tree, but players don't. I reshuffled all the buttons, but it didn't help.
Then I pulled the glade elements from the folder "Fairy glade" into the root directory of image window and everything was displayed for the players.
It turns out that now, when creating a picture-map, you can not use folders, you need to make all the pictures in one list. Otherwise, some elements are not visible to the players.

Can you show screen shots of what is and is not working? Can you upload a campaign with an image that is not working and give concise clear instruction on how to reproduce the issue?

Try. But the problem sometimes shows up, sometimes it doesn't. I've launched it now, and everything is working fine. As soon as the problem reappears, I will make a screenshot of myself and the player.

I noticed this on Friday with a map that has a lot of small images within a folder (colored hexes for a hexploration map). If I added a new image to the layer folder (I used CTRL+C then CTRL+V to copy an existing image in a folder) the image was placed at the end of the list in the folder and the players couldn't see it. I moved the image a couple of places up in the folder layer and the players could see it. I've just recreated this exact process and the new image at the bottom of the folder list is not visible to be players, despite being shared with players and visible.

Since the new image layer is under other images, it may be those images it would block view of the new image. But that would only make sense if the host was also not able to see it.

Were you able to test if it's only the last image? Or that if after moving it up a few levels can you move it back down to last it it continues to work? If so, sounds like new images are not triggering a graphics refresh?

The host sees it fine - see below.

Re-sharing the image also displays correctly, as does moving the image within the folder layer. I can recreate this by CTRL+C then CTRL+V on an image within a layer folder - the new image appears at the bottom of the folder and isn't shown on the player side.

Once it's moved everything is fine. Yes, it appears to be a base code refresh issue for this specific problem. We'll need SmiteWorks to look at it.

Thanks for the info. I've passed along to Carl to review.

Would the fix for this also fix the opposite issue of stamps not disappearing when deleted unless you close the image and reopen?

I've been trying to reproduce this issue, but I'm not having any luck. Are there particular steps that reproduce for you?
