[edit] The ImageSelectWindow

This window has been enhanced with Bookmark management (to mark your favorite spots), thumbnail generation for easy and quick previews of things like material presets, and file filters.

[edit] ImageSelectWindow

In parts of the Blender interface where pictures can be loaded, you generally have the option of using a FileSelect window or the ImageSelect window. For the most part, the functionality is the same. The ImageSelect window reads the directory and examines each file to see if it is a recognisable image. After the entire directory is scanned, the images are loaded and displayed as a thumbnail and saved in the ".Bpib" file. If a ".Bpib" file already exists, it is first read in and compared to the contents of the directory.

[edit] P

Displays the parent directory (P).

[edit] DirName:

This text box displays the name of the current directory.

[edit] Preset Directories

The file $HOME/.Bfs contains a number of pre-sets that are shown in this menu. While a file is being read or written, the directory involved is temporarily added to the menu.

[edit] FileName:

The file name can be entered here.

[edit] Status Icons

The different phases of ImageSelect:

• Was a ".Bpib" file found?
