Notes On Importing Image Files

When images of any supported file type (except PNG) are imported into a project, the files are

automatically converted to JPGs. For this reason, if you import (or paste) a file that has the same

name as a previously imported file (even if it has a different extension), TPD4 automatically adds

the "copy of" prefix to the file. PNGs are not converted because they are already compressed.

The largest image size supported on the panels is 1280x1024. Any image files that are imported to

the project that are larger are automatically scaled down to fit.

Consider assigning Slot positions to image files that you expect to use multiple times in the Project.

See Assigning Images to Slot Positions for details.

Exporting Image Files From The Project

To export image files from Resource Manager dialog to a specified directory:

1. Select Panel > Resource Manager (or click the toolbar button) to open the Resource Manager dialog.

2. Open the Images tab.

3. Select one or more files to export (Ctrl + click to select multiple files individually, or Shift + click to

select a range of files).

4. Click the Export button. This opens the Choose Directory dialog (FIG. 64):

5. Use the Browse button to locate a target directory for the files.

6. Click OK.

The program prompts you when the export is finished.

FIG. 63 Open dialog - Overwrite resources with duplicate names checkbox

Click the Overwrite resources with duplicate names checkbox (at the bottom of

the dialog) to automatically overwrite any existing files that have the same filename.

If this option is selected, anytime a file with a duplicate name is imported, it will

replace the original file on every button or page that referenced that filename in the

Project.

If you import an image file that has already been imported to the Images tab, the

filename is changed to include the prefix "Copy of...". This is true even if the second

version of the image file you have imported is of a different file type with a different

extension.
