<![CDATA[Set background image “lock” by script?]]>I can find and alter the image settings in a glyph.lib:

<lib>
    <dict>
      <key>com.typemytype.robofont.Image.Brightness</key>
      <real>0.6000000238418579</real>
      <key>com.typemytype.robofont.Image.Contrast</key>
      <real>1.0</real>
      <key>com.typemytype.robofont.Image.Saturation</key>
      <real>1.0</real>
      <key>com.typemytype.robofont.Image.Sharpness</key>
      <real>0.4000000059604645</real>
    </dict>
  </lib>

But I don't see a flag for locking the image. Where should I look?

locking background images is a global setting named glyphViewLockImages.

it can be modified in the Preferences Editor, or using a script:

# toggle background images lock
from mojo.UI import getDefault, setDefault
value = not getDefault("glyphViewLockImages")
setDefault("glyphViewLockImages", value)

groeten!
