Importing pictures from files

To import a picture from a file:

1 Choose File > Import Resources.

2 Select the file.

Shortcut

Drag the file to the resource list.

When FirstClass Designer adds the picture to your settings file, it creates a category that corresponds to the resource file type, if this category doesn't already exist.

If you drag a PNG file to the PNG category, it is added as a picture. It is also added as a picture if you drag it to any other category except PNG Icons, as long as the file name is alphanumeric.

The picture is assigned a unique resource ID and the resource name is the name of the original file.

3 Choose File > Properties (Windows) or Get Info (Mac) with the picture selected.

4 Update the following fields:

Resource name	The name you want to assign to the picture.
Resource ID	If you want to change the resource ID assigned by FirstClass Designer without overriding a default FirstClass resource, specify a resource ID between 28000 and 28999.
