# 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.

## P

Displays the parent directory (PKEY).

## DirName:

This text box displays the current directory.

## 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.

## FileName:

The file name can be entered here.

## Status Icons.

The different phases of ImageSelect:

- Was a ".Bpib" file found?

- Was the directory scanned completely?

- Have all the pictures been read in?
