app.activeTag isn't equal to sprite.tags[] about api HOT 5 CLOSED

Nevermind xD

If there was a bug before, now it has gone. In my screenshot above, you can see sprite.activeTa instead of sprite.activeTag. Sorry :)

Hi @erryox, sorry for the delay with my answer. Actually each FrameTag object is just a "pseudo-object" that is referencing the same real Tag through an internal ID (scripting objects in Lua are wrappers of the internal objects, an almost everything is referenced through IDs instead of storing pointers).

Not sure if this could be (or should be) fixed in a proper easy and proper way. You can compare two tags (e.g. sprite.tags[1] == app.activeTags should be true) because the == operator (__eq Lua metatable) for tags is overloaded to compare their internal IDs.

Hi,

This is not.

🤔 It's strange, I'm just testing this:

local spr = app.activeSprite
print(spr.tags[1] == app.activeTag)

And it says true when I'm in the first tag and false in the second one:

Oh that was the problem 😅 Anyway it's strange that Aseprite didn't say something about the undefined property app.activeTa, I'll take note about this problem to improve the error reporting in this case for the next version.
