Any way to move an image?

In the "Image Setup" dialog box there is a button to 'Rotate Selected Image' If I make an image and don't particularly like where it shows up on the CCR and I want to make minor adjustments until I find a placement I like. Is there something similar to move an image up or down or left and right without having to redraw an image when editing. If not now...perhaps in a future update. Would save me a TON of time and frustration or am I going about this the wrong way. Any input is greatly APPRECIATED.

A button that would allow you to move an image would be useful. But there is a way to do it now, though admittedly it is sort of a back door way that is not straight forward. Consider the following:

 

1) Draw an Image

2) In the Image Name field, type in "Image at 0, 0"

3) "Add" the image so that it is in the Image list (the top list)

4) Select "Apply x, y in Preview (for animations)

5) Set the Image Action x, y to 1, 1

6) In the Image Action name field type "Dummy Image Action"

6) "Add" an Image Action so that it is in the Image Action list (the lower list)

7) Set the Image Action x, y to 1, 1 and click on "Modify"

8) You will see the preview of the image move.

9) In the Image Name field, type in "Image at 1, 1"

10) "Add" the image so that it is in the Image list (the top list)

11) You now have an image that has been moved

 

You can now move it again by doing:

12) Click on Image Action "Modify", the preview will move again

13) In the Image Name field, type in "Image at 2,2"

14) "Add" the image so that it is in the Image list (the top list)

Realize that in step 12 you moved the image relative to where it was

 

So at any time, if you want to move an image to a certain position do:

15) Select "Image at 0,0"

16) Set Image Action x,y to the amount you want it moved (the numbers can be positive or negative)

17) Add it as an Image Action and the image will move to that location

18) Add a new image
