Loading Images while in Pattern Editor
Howdy, I just bought Pattern Editor for my second hand Carvewright, and I'm trying to load images that are JPG.
I only get the selection for mpw and ptn images. I checked in the help and read this:
"1) Go to the File menu and select Open.
2) Browse to where you have the particular image saved. The software default setting has it looking for MPW file types. MPW files are basic artwork files that the software uses. This can be changed to other file types, such as JPEG, GIF, BMP, or PNG file types. "
My version is 1.182 BUild 9788
Any suggestions would be appreciated, Thank You in advance,

Now you can choose the image to open! TRY IT!!
It works! However just to fine tune the instructions a smidge, I'll add/modify this.
While you have pattern Editor activated, click open, and navigate to the folder where you have your image stored.
You will not be able to see your files, because it is looking for PTN or MPW files.
Drop down to the File-name section and use an old DOS prompt which still works in Window 7! Simply type *** (shift + 8 three times) and press enter.
Now you can choose the image to open with a double-click! From there you may edit as you like.
