temperature = 98°
myswapimage=D:\image 1.png
I created a title page as follows:
- I dragged a sample image file from the Filebin tab in LT onto the LT canvas.
- I clicked the Select tool (arrow button) under "Text and Drawing", and selected the image I had added to the canvas
- I right-clicked the image on the canvas, and selected *myswapimage from the list of DL keys shown.
* There's another way to do this, too, but this is easier to describe.
Finally, I edited the key value in the text file to "D:image 2.png" (without quotes). The image on the canvas updated instantly.
p.s., the difference in behavior between the integrated and standalone versions in this respect that I noticed when checking this out bugged me (it would be tedious to have to manually enter a DL key every time you load this type of title page into a Media Player on TC), so in turn I 'bugged' it, and it's fixed now. I'm not certain the fixed version has been released but, if not, it will be anon.)
