Load From File

Click on the “Load From File” button (or press Ctrl+O) to have BID scan a local file for images.

These files can either be BID batch files saved using the BID “Save Batch” function, html formatted files saved from within your browser, or plain text files containing image file URLs (one per line).

This can be useful if you come across a site that BID cannot download pages from due to authentication issues. If this happens, save the web page to an html file on your hard disk (using the browser's “Save As” function), and then load this saved file into BID using the “Load From File” function. If the image links are hosted on a different site to the web page (such as on a free image host), then BID should be able to download them without any problems.
