Display of imported images

Hello !
Sorry for my poor English. Precedently, when I used to import an image into an image frame, I was able to see really the imported image (and adjust its size, its position, aso). Now, instead of the image itself, I see only its properties (a small text with filename, size a.s.o.). How could I retrieve the former behaviour ? Probably a wrong setting of a parameter ? Thank you in advance. pierruel

Right click on the image, and in the popup menu select Preview Settings, and see if Image Visible in checked. If not select it and does the image show?

Good morning AdmFubar, thank you,
The solution works perfectly, but there is another aspect (?) of the problem; some time ago, when I clicked on Import an image, the real image was directly displayed, without I shoud open the pop up menu and choose Image Visible. Now for each image I have to follow this "long" procedure.
Another problem about images: when I choose the directory where I have my images, I have to wait 40 to 60 seconds until the list of the images is displayed. Doesn't seem normal. My PC is not particularly slow  ;)
Thank you in advance
Regards

Took me a moment to find it as it isnt in the preferences. In the drop down menus, select View/Image Frames and make sure Show Images is checked. This should make all images show when loaded.

Where is the directory of your images? and how many files does it contain? What OS are you using and what are your hardware specs?
