Opening Image Files with ImagePro
Back to main page
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.
