Hi @lodgical.lodgeb, thanks for reaching out about this.
Showing the base64 from an image is still something you can do in the latest version of Thunkable.
I can respond to your other points as well, please let me know if you have any questions!
All software evolves–this is true whether you are using Thunkable or coding a project in XCode. We always ensure that any updates to our platform will not cause any currently published apps to stop working. When we do change elements or functionality, we make a note of that usually in the Community via Release Updates and in our Docs.
Thunkable’s platform has evolved, as all software, does. Unfortunately, the videos you watched for this were likely older and used our older, Snap to Place interface. All of those blocks are still available if you create a Snap to Place project. To do that, simply uncheck the box for “Use the Drag and Drop builder” when creating a new project.
Thunkable now uses our improved Drag and Drop platform. Some blocks are different now but the functionality is all still there.
This is still possible, please see Ioannis’ topic here:
