Hi there,

I've been trying to update an existing lottie image in the material-dart skin, without success.

For the ht_node, I want to replace the default target icon, which is configured by:
ht_node.jpg
ht_node.jpg (12.27 KiB) Viewed 3455 times

So, I've clicked on the "change" button in the lottie properties, and selected a different lottie file from my computer, saved the skin editor and rebuilt the project. I.e.
lottie_properties.jpg
lottie_properties.jpg (10.41 KiB) Viewed 3455 times

However, the ht_node image doesn't change. I've hard-refreshed the browser, but no luck. Through the "change" button, I've also tried selecting a different lottie from the Panovr7 toolbox, but it had no effect. The original lottie is being shown, Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks
Marc

Hi,
I also have this issue, i can only "update" a lottie by completely replacing it..

After experimenting for a while, it appears once a file has been selected for the Lottie component, the associated file cannot be changed. I agree, currently the only solution is to initialise a new Lottie instance with the new file, and copy all the other properties across from the old instance.

Hopki, can this please be added to the bug list.

Cheers
Marc
