Opening a Folder of Pixie 2 Pictures

Printable Version

One of the most requested features for Pixie 3 is to allow students to create multiple pictures and save in one file.  Now that this has become a reality, how do you open up all your old Pixie 2 pictures and put them into one project file to export as a movie or play as a slide show?  Maybe you want each student to make one picture to be imported for a slide show or movie? 

First, click the Project Button and select Import Pages.

The folder location will be inserted into the PATH box and Pixie 3 will remember this location.  The folder name will appear in the left column on the Import Pages window.
