Help Uploading Image Files

This screen allows you to upload image files that are needed for you flashcards. All uploaded image files are made available for other users to import and use in their flashcards.

Image File fields: If you want to upload an image file, browse to the image file on your hard drive. You can upload up to 10 image files at a time. The image file must be type . and must be less than or equal to 25 KB. You can use a free image editer such as IrfanView to convert to . and reduce the image size and quality. The image file names must follow the file naming requirements.

• File names cannot contain:
  • spaces (unix requirement)
  • * ? ! | \ / " { } < > ; , ^ ( ) $ ~ (unix requirement)
  • : (Windows requirement)
  • # or & (html requirement)
• File names cannot start with a . (period) (Windows requirement)
• File names are case sensitive (unix requirement)
• Since the space character is not allowed in a file name, you can replace the space with a _ in the image file name. The flashcard program will use the spelling word, answer, or text with the space replaced with the _ for image file name. As an example, let's say the word was "one hundred". The program would automatically look for one_hundred.wav, first in the user's images directories and if not found, it would look in MindPal's images directories.
• Since the ':' character is not allowed in a file name, you can replace the : with a @ in the image file name. The flashcard program will use the spelling word, answer, or text with the : replaced with the @ for the image file name. For example, if the word is 12:30, the program would automatically look for 12@30.wav, first in the user's images directories and if not found, it would look in MindPal's images directories.
