[1.1.0] Updating old images in IDE, images revert back to old version --- fixed 2015-06-24

[Zed]

Using Sikuli 1.1 Beta, the 9-26-14 build.

There seems to be a weird thing going on in the IDE when I replace replace old images by overwriting them. The image preview in the IDE sometimes seems to revert back to the old image during certain actions - copying and pasting that image, and I believe also scrolling to a different page and back to that image.
Here's a screenshot of it happening: http://postimg.org/image/41bbfwbyh/
Notice that image preview shows the older image (the cmd prompt screenshot) but the pattern settings Matching Preview view shows the actual image on file (the explorer window screenshot).
Also I notice one you get it into this state, it will show the wrong preview image until you restart the IDE; even if you reopen the the project, it still shows the wrong images, as if they were cached.

Actually it seems like it actually does affect the functionality as well, as it uses the old version of the image as opposed to the new one if it shows up in the preview. Maybe it's related to the image caching stuff you've put into this release.

The tab of the editing window has a context menu (right click on tab label)

The last entry is named reset.

What happens, if you trigger "Reset" in such a situation?

When you press ctrl-T (is menu View -> toggle showThumbs) you can switch between thumb view and plain code view.
Does this shed any more light on the problem?

I cannot reproduce your problem.

Could you please describe precisely the steps that lead to the problem.

No screen shots needed, only name the steps.

[Zed (zh2eou)]

Reset doesn't seem to fix the issue, but I can actually cause the problem by using Reset. One way that I've reproduced it is:
1. New Sikuli bundle, save it as something
2. Take screenshot, name it something
3. Take another screenshot, name it the same as 2 (replacing the original)
4. The image preview updates to latter image
5. Save the file
6. Use the Reset command, the image preview resets back to the original

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

great, thanks. I will try to reproduce it.

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

Still not possible to reproduce your situation.

Could you post more details about used image paths and image names.

run IDE from command line using -d 3 -c

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

what system?

Here's the debug info I get when I do the Reset, it may help:

I'm using a Windows 7 (64bit) VM for this.

[RaiMan (raimund-hocke)]

Yes, really valuable.
Thanks for not giving up and helping me to find out the magic.

This a typical Windows problem (until now I only tested on Mac, sorry for that): a mix of forward and backward slashes and internally using some string compare - grrrrrh.

Still some old coding I have to repair.

Thanks again.

Will fix it next week - currently some days vacation.
