SLS v1.6.0 fails to display images correctly + issue with copying objects

Hi, I recently updated SLS and have come across 2 issues:

  1. Images will only sometimes display correctly but most of the time when I import an image or reopen a project my images will display distorted with parts either blanked out or will just completely fail and display blank.

  2. If I copy an object that has an event linked to it and then change any of the new objects properties, nothing will update until the event has been removed (this has not previously been an issue for me until the update).

Hi, was this working correctly for you in version 1.5.4? If you’re able to share the project (or a minimal example that reproduces it), that would help us a lot to investigate and reproduce the issue on our side. Also, if this started specifically after updating to 1.6.0, that’s a very important detail, so thanks for pointing it out.

Thank you for replying

I downloaded and have tested it on 1.5.4, the image in my project fails to load at all and the object issue still persists (however it was working fine with other projects in 1.5.3 and I skipped 1.5.4 before I updated to 1.6.0 so I didn’t notice the issue until the latest update).

I retried it in 1.6.0, I had to reload the project 3 times before the image displayed properly. When the image loaded in properly it also seemed to fix the object issue…

I also updated my custom board SLB file to use the latest LVGL version, but that does not seem to update inside SLS unless I create an entirely new board config (so for the example it uses 9.2.2).

The image also is the same size as my display, so the transparent area is also part of the image which I thought may be the cause of the issue. But it still persists with other images regardless of the image resolution.

I have made a video showcasing the bugs in this project (I have done my best to showcase everything you have asked):

Also here is the project file+custom board settings I am using:

If you need any more information, please let me know :slight_smile:

The problem is with the png file, because it is a 16-bit per channel image and not 8-bit. I converted the image for you, you can use this.

Wow… I am so sorry for wasting your time with this I should’ve looked at the file details :man_facepalming:

Thank you for the support!

It would be nice if SquareLine could handle this automatically.
