Disk uploads available on the toolbar

After an extended overhaul, disk uploads are available once again. The button is found at the middle of the toolbar. Images up to 500k can be uploaded from the local computer into the FIG foreground.

Please post a comment if you have any trouble using the feature.

  2. Hello Anne Marie, Thanks for the kind words about FIG.

    The maximum new image size in FIG is 640x480 pixels. When the font size is set such that the finished image would exceed 640px wide, the text is word-wrapped to the next line so its not cut off the finished image.

    One way to get around this limitation is to reduce the font size to where the text is as big as possible but stays on one line. Then, double-click on the image and drag-resize it to the width you want. (Resize of an existing image does not observe the 640px limit). Resize of an image this way causes it to loose sharpness so you may want to sharpen is a bit afterward.

    I hope this work-around does the job for you.
