Opening Image Files with ImagePro

Opening Image Files


ImagePro's Open panel lists files with any image/* mime-type.  If a file isn't in the list and you think it should be, it's probably because it doesn't have a mime-type.  It's usually enough to right-click on the file in Tracker and select Identify, or just double-click on the file.  If this doesn't work, the file probably has a mime-type which is incorrect.  You fix this by right-clicking on the file in Tracker, selecting Open With / FileTypes, and then setting the correct mime-type of the file.

If you are browsing a non-BeOS file-system, for example a CD-ROM, a network drive, or a non-BeOS partition on your hard-disk, ImagePro will list files ending with any file extension which is configured for image files (use the BeOS FileTypes preferences utility to see what they are).  Non-BeOS file-systems usually don't know what type of files they contain, so this needs to be guessed based on the file's extension.

Preview Images
If this is turned on, ImagePro will display each image file as soon as it is selected in the Open dialogue.  Turn this off if it annoys you.

Leave This Panel Open
If this is turned on the Open dialogue will not go away after you open an image.  This is useful if you are browsing through lots of images.
