Working with images

In line with the HTML specification for image references, images can be added to any document of application SimplyHTML by inserting references to separate image files. To insert an image

- place the caret to the point in the document where an image shall appear
- select 'Image...' from menu 'Insert'
- in the image dialog press button 'Add'
- locate the file containing the image in the file chooser
- press 'OK' in the file chooser
- adjust attributes in the image dialog as needed and
- press 'OK' in the image dialog

The selected image is inserted by placing a reference to the selected image file into the document. The image appears at the chosen location as long as the associated image file is present in the image repository. The image repository is created and maintained by application SimplyHTML automatically. When adding image files as described above, they are copied to and kept in the image repository. Once an image file is present in the image repository of a document, it does not have to be located in the file system again.

Important: If a document containing image references is moved to another storage location by hand, the associated directory with image files (the image repository, a directory named images) has to be moved too.

Making changes to images in documents

To change settings of an image

- click on the image
- select 'Image...' from menu 'Format'
- adjust attributes in the image dialog as needed and
- press 'OK' in the image dialog

To remove an image and its file reference from a document

- click on the image
- press the [Backspace] or [Delete] key

To remove an image file from the image repository

- select 'Image' from menu 'Insert'
- select the image file to remove from the list of files in the image dialog
- press button 'Delete'
- press 'Yes' in the option pane that appears
- press button 'Cancel' in the image dialog

This will permanently delete the image file from the image directory of the currently open document.

Important: When deleting an image file from the image repository, all references to that image file inside the document remain intact but the image is rendered as 'broken' link (broken icon picture).
