Using images from a folder on disk

There are several ways to import images from a folder on disk right into Posterino.

To import images from a folder on disk:

  1. Make sure the Image Picker is visible on the sidebar of your document. If not, press the Shuffle toolbar button button to display it. Alternatively you can choose Image Picker from the View menu (or press Command-1).
  2. Choose Import Images from the File menu (or press Command-Shift-I). A file system sheet will open. Specify the folder on disk and press the Open button.

    Posterino will scan the folder and all its subfolders for images. You can find the folder in the Image Picker popup menu:

To permanently add a folder from disk to the Image Picker:

  1. Make sure the Image Picker is visible on the sidebar of your document. If not, press the Shuffle toolbar button button to display it. Alternatively you can choose Image Picker from the View menu (or press Command-1).
  2. Reveal the Image Picker tree view by grabbing the separator line with the mouse and move down:

    Make it large enough, so that you can see the "Drag additional source folders here" text.

  3. Drag a folder from the Finder on the "Drag additional source folders here" text in the Image Picker tree view:

    Drop a folder on the Image Picker.
