Images can be imported into JEANimages either singly or as a complete folder. These operations are available from the Images menu.
When an image is imported you have the choice between using the same name as the file, or a new name for the resulting JEAN item. When a folder is imported you may similiarly choose the name of the JEAN album, but the names of the individual images will be the same as the corresponding files. They may of course be renamed later.
