I use the Defold Editor on a windows laptop. I’m still on the getting started tutorial and I’ve done everything right but my editor won’t allow me to drag and drop the PNG ground image files in order to import them. Is there any orher way I can import these image files?
Hello @2009brianna
You need to drag your images to the fileview project explorer to the left of the editor (left-most circle in the picture below) to place them in the project, then include them in an atlas once they’ve been placed in the project.

Yeah I tried doing that but for some reason when I drag it out of the file box it shows up as a black cancel symbol, but it won’t show up in a screenshot.AT first I thought it was because it was a PNG file but I tried it with other PNG files and it worked. I think it might be because it’s a download???
What if you copy the file using the Explorer/Finder instead of drag’n’dropping the files? Right click on game.project and chose Open in Explorer to get access to the project root folder.
Yeah that wasn’t woring for some reason but I just figured it out I made a new folder and copied the downloaded images into the folder and it worked
I think it’s because you are dragging them directly from a zip file that hasn’t been extracted yet? If so, I’m not sure what those “paths” will be that you drag into the project explorer, but most likely, those files aren’t there on disc yet.
