I am new to Xojo but not to programming. Knowing VB quite well, the language is not a problem.
My problem is with a page containing WebImageView controls. Someone emailed me a Xojo project, and when I run it locally, the images are not displayed. I checked that for each of these controls, Picture under Behavior is correctly set, and Visible is set to ON. No way the pictures are not shown. My default Browser is FireFox, I changed the default Browser to Chrome, same issue. I cleaned bot browsers cache, again the same problem. Rebooted the computer, and… well you guessed.
As a test, I copied the project to another computer - both runs Windows 10 64-bit, ran the project on Chrome and everything is fine. I just can’t figure out what’s wrong. I would like it to work on the the computer where it fails, this is mu development computer, but can’t figure out what’s wrong.
@David Cox I checked Show on disk, all the images are in the same directory as the project.
@Greg O’Lone Not on a network share, everything is on a local drive.
Xojo version is 2018 R1, I know 2018 R1.1 has been released but didn’t see anything regarding this issue in the changed log.
I wonder if a setting in the Options may explain the behaviour. One other theory is that the graphic card would behave incorrectly. On my development PC it’s an Inter card, on the other one it’s an NVdia adapter.

No, but you really should be using 1.1 because there were some other critical fixes in there.
@Greg O’Lone I installed R1.1, still the issue. I copied the prototype from the tower computer to my dev computer, everything works fine but the image appears as a white rectangle. The picture is displayed in a WebCanvas.
In the other project I was sent, images are displayed inside a WebImageView. So it seems the issue is not related to a particular Xojo component. I looked into Windows log to get a clue, didn’t get anything.
Regarding sharing the project, I wait for my client agreement.
You need to host the file elsewhere and post the link to the file in your message… Xojo hasn’t installed the attachment plugin for esoTalk, so you can’t just attach files to your message…
This morning I tried something: from my dev computer - where images would not display - I opened the project that’s on the other computer - where images work. Surprise, the images were displayed. Then I copied the project locally, and again it worked.
It looks like the issue has resolved by itself. I don’t like things that mysteriously get fixed, because again they can break :-(.
