imported images list at specific frames

Support Synfig related help
1

I’m unable to import images in lst file at specific frames like explained in the documentation

for example when I import this lst file:

FPS 24
10 k.jpg
15 m.jpg

the imported image k.jpg is shown at 0f (instead of starting at 10f) and m.jpg at 1f (instead of starting at 15f)

Can you share the image files and the lst you’re using?

Which Synfig Studio version are you using?

after reinstalling linux and installing synfig studio 0.64.1 things became worse regarding the list importer

1- it refuses to load images whose extensions are not written in the .lst file.
2- it refuses to load images when I write timing before them.

attached below the images and the .lst files, and these are the results written by synfig in the terminal area at each attemp:

ok I got it now, I fixed it after reading this thread :slight_smile:

MohoSwitch1
FPS 24
jpg
10 E
20 L
30 U

the documentation lacks this info: “MohoSwitch1” should be written at the beginning of the file (I thought it’s just the file name) :slight_smile:

I’m glad you solved it. :slight_smile:
