Bug? Visual Designer Bug: Image Selection Opens as Blank

[Highwinder]

Bug report for B4A v 5.50

When opening a .bal file in Visual Designer, there is a property in Activity Properties called "Image File". No matter which image file I select (and then save), when I re-open the same .bal file in Visual Designer in a later session, the "Image File" property is still blank - the file I chose (and saved) is no longer listed. Though the selection of available images can still be found in the drop-down below the now blank "Image File" field, Visual Designer is lot loading this property from the previous saved session.

Important, I'm sure: The .bal files were copied into the project from an older B4A 2.71 project, so I'm sure this has something to do with it.

See attached screen shot. Notice missing Image File, though it was selected/saved in a previous session.

Thanks,

I highly recommend you to remove all the layout variants and use anchors + designer script instead.

Please test it with a new project and see whether it also happens.

I'll do that. In the mean time, just to get things functioning as quickly as I can, what is the proper way to bring old 2.71 layouts into a 5.5 project? What is the project upgrade path by way of B4A version numbers?

Thanks

You don't need to do anything special other then open the project.
