Description

First of all. Great software, great team, great support. Thank you very much!

Here is my enheacement suggestion:

I sometimes add an image to a score like a logo that I designed in Photoshop.
When I want to replace the image (e.g. adjustig the graphic but keeping its dimensions), the current workflow is to delete the image an insert it again.

I'd like to have the option. "Right click on image -> replace image". So the image would stay in its place and only its content would be updated.

Would do you think?

Many greetings from Freiburg / Germany
Martin

Research direction

Start by tracing the image's right-click context menu and the existing delete-and-insert workflow in MuseScore. Done means a user can choose “replace image” and update the image content while preserving its place and dimensions.
