I have an image or painting in an Etoys project that I would like to use in another project. How do I export it from one project so I can import it to another project?
The easiest way is to do is to bring up a halo, do COPY (CTRL-C?) and then do a PASTE (CTRL-V?) in the target project but this may not work reliably on all platforms. If this doesn't work for you, you can transfer it via Supplies flap as Bert pointed out.
BTW, think of Etoys as peering into a theatre consisting of a play (project) on a stage (presenter), green rooms (sketch editor), main control room (toolbar flap) and prop rooms (flaps). When you switch projects, you are changing the play on the stage but the rooms (flaps) stay the same. When you select "make a painting" you are in essence applying make-up to an object. The painting itself is just a visual handle for manipulating the object.
