Image Import Options

File > Import > Set Options

Use this form to perform various tasks while importing image files of various file extensions.  The complete list of file extensions are included in the Notes section below.
  1. Complete the form as desired.
  2. Pick OK to accept the current selections as the new defaults or Reset to return all selections to their previous defaults.

 

Forms and DialoguesGeneral Options

Select from the following options for determining how imported images are handled by VX.

  • Detect corners - Detect corners in the imported image
  • Show edge pixels - Show the edge pixels of the imported image.
  • Two-tone - Change the imported image to two-tone (i.e., grey scale).
  • Thicken - This acts as a healer for the imported image by thickening each image pixel.

 

Forms and DialoguesDefault Directory

This sets the default directory for locating files to import of the specified type. Pick the folder icon to select a path from the Directory Browser. The path will be added to the Default Directory Field. The Default directory field only applies to the active session while VX is running unless it is permanently saved using the Save Settings button on the Import Form.
 

More about the Default Directory

All import/export translators have their own default-directory on their options form.  If the default-directory is set, then the Directory Browser will always come up in that directory.  If the default-directory is not set, then the file browser will come up in the "last visited" directory.

The last visited directory is not unique.  There is one last visited for all import translators and one for all export translators.  By default, the value in the Default Directory field is set to ’.’ which means, use the "last visited" directory.  The file icon allows you to browse for a directory which will then be the new default.  You can set the Default Directory back to "." by selecting Reset on the form.
 

Forms and DialoguesOthers Options

  • OK - Accept the current selections and make them the defaults.
  • Reset - Return all selections to the previous defaults.
