How To: Add an Image to a Page

This is a basic procedure tailored to an image object contained in, or imported to, Total Launcher's Image Resources. A similar process can start the addition of

• Applications
• Windows
• Folders
• Launcher actions (linked to the object)
• Sequences

but here, images will be selected, in a “Default” form and then followed with using the Image Customization dialog to refine how the image appears or will be used. This will not addrress adding layouts or widgets.

• An image in TL is a graphic which can be image or text based

1. Navigate to the page or other object (as a Window)
2. Enter Edit On mode
3. Tap the Add (+) icon in the Page Design menu (top)
4. Select Graphic
5. Select Image
6. Since this procedure is covering an image itself, select Default
7. An image dialog opens which offers customization features (color, dynamic color or image, shape, or icon pack), but here select Image
8. The Image Resource dialog opens. it displays thumbnails of any images previously added to this resource category.
   1. There is also specialized categories for image aspect ratios available for devices, such as the “Fold” or images left over from any earlier imported setups. These will not be discussed here.
9. The alpha-numerical display can be scrolled vertically or searched by filename in the search dialog. The 3-bar menu (hamburger) in the upper right corner allows for sequencing the list by filename, recently edited, or file size categories.

• If the image desired does not currently exist in the image resource and a single image is desired:

1. Tap the Add (+) icon
2. To add a single image, tap the 3-dot menu and select Browse…
   1. Navigate to the device folder containing the desired image (or cloud folder if the device file manager permits)
   2. Tap the desired image. The image's filename will be retained by TL (there is no way to modify it after importing).
   3. Either scroll to locate the image or use the search dialog to locate it by filename

• If the image desired does not current exist in the image resource and and entire folder is to be added to TL's Image Resource:
  1. If a user already has prepared a device folder with images and desires to import the entire folder into the image resource (filenames to be retained), the resource dialog has a “ Folder+“con at the tip. This will open the device's file manager to navigate to the desired folder and upon selection, will import the entire folder contents to the TL resource area.

1. Tap the desired image. It is placed on the page in selected mode.
2. Tap and hold the image to drag it to the desired position.
3. Resize the image by it boundary bulbs or briefly tap the image to reveal the Edit (pencil) icon for manually entering the X/Y position or Height/Widget desired numbers.
