Insert image

Unread post by umerz »

It would be helpful to add JPG's file format under Insert Image (Type All Images) At the moment only bmp, shg, wmf, emf,ipp are autom. loaded and I have always to add*.* to get jpg's.

also it would be nice to be able to define a fixed directory where all images are saved so users don't have always to change from one directory into another.

As far as I know Alexander has left out integrated GIF and JPG import support because of the licensing restrictions. Including them would probably make the program much more expensive. This is already the case with GIF and it's now also happening with JPG -- some puny little company in Texas has bought an old JPG patent and is collecting millions from software and hardware manufacturers. Including Sony, according to the reports...

I'm not so sure about the fixed directory idea. Most people like to have the graphics for each project in a separate directory.

However, what I would like to see is H&M being able to remember the graphics directory for each project. At the moment it always remembers the last graphics directory you accessed, even if this was in another project, which is a little annoying. It would be much better to automatically go to the graphics directory of the project you're working in. :wink:

I agree Tim, remembering the last directory would help me as well!
