I remember EREL saying something about images added in the designer and in imagelists would be merged into the exe, but I cannot find any reference to that neither on Bsic4ppc.com, on the Forum nor the help file....
Was I daydreaming?
Have a look at the help file:
Under Basics/Compiling Applications/Embedding images .
These are the images directly set to Controls and those inserted in ImageLists.
It's a very convenient feature !
I insert all images in the IDE, only very big ones and some others are loaded dynamically
