Open dialog is where you can load images into the Gimp for viewing
|
|
or editing. The left hand window shows the directories and the right
|
|
hand side shows the files in the selected directory. To open a file,
|
|
select it in the files listing, then choose what file type it is - if
|
|
the file has an extension which defines it's filetype (such as .xcf)
|
|
you can select "Automatic" and Gimp will open the file in that format.
|
|
Alternatively, you can force Gimp to open the file as a specific format
|
|
by choosing one of the other options in the drop down list.
|
|

Some images have a preview associated with then so you can see what
|
|
the image is before opening it. This is particularly useful for larger
|
|
images, where opening the full image will take a while. If an image
|
|
doesn't have a preview, you can click "Generate Preview" to create on.
|
|
This preview image is stored in the a sub-directory of the current one,
|
|
called .xvpics. This preview image will be used in future when using
|
|
the open dialog. Clicking OK opens the image with the selected
|
|
settings, Cancel aborts.
|
|

|
|
A useful feature of the Load Image dialog is autocompletion of
|
|
filenames. Type the first few letters of the filename and pressing the
|
|
Tab key will complete as much of the filename as is uniquely defined by
|
|
what has already been typed. The side of the dialog will display all
|
|
files that match the letters in the selection box. You can then type
|
|
more letters and press Tab again to update the window. You
|
|
can load multiple images by pressing Shift key and clicking on each
|
|
file you want to open.
