Adding Images
=========================================

Drag 'n Drop
---------------------------------

Files and folders can be added by dragging and dropping them onto the program.

.. tip::

    This works on every tab, not just Input.

You can start the program with images pre-loaded by dropping them onto a shortcut to the program.

Buttons
---------------------------------

A more time-consuming approach is to use buttons:

* Add Files: add selected images.
* Add Folder: add all images within a selected folder (recursively).

Arguments
---------------------------------

Files and folders can be passed as arguments to the program.

To use this feature, add XL Converter to the ``PATH`` variable. If you installed it through Scoop, it is already set up.

Examples:

Windows
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block::

    xl-converter %USERPROFILE%\Pictures

Linux
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

.. code-block::

    xl-converter /home/user/Pictures

To use pattern matching on Linux, omit quotes.

* Correct: ``xl-converter ~/Pictures ~/Downloads/*.jpg``
* Incorrect: ``xl-converter "~/Pictures" "~/Downloads/*.jpg"``
