Is there a way to load a bunch of images to a list unsing a folder or parameter without the need manually adding them one-by-one?

Dears,

I am looking for a way to load a list of images to a list using a folder or some other mechanism without the need to manually adding them one by one. I have like 60 pictures to load, currently I am adding them manually, but I will need to change them, since these picures and just random pictures, I need to get licenced pictures eventually.

This is what I have today:

I am expecting something like:

or

but I do not see option to create folder within Assets.

Thanks in advance!

I understand that a folder would be helpful for organization but you’ll need to just name them so that they are related such as car1.png, car2.png, … or building1.png, building2.png, etc. Then you can reference them as, for example, join “building” app variable imageNum “.png”

I wouldn’t create a list variable at all. But I suppose it depends what you’re wanting to do with those images.

I’m new to the thunkable side so apologies if i am not answering what you are looking for.

What i can understand is loading a bunch of pictures is tedious. Have you considered using excel to upload your pictures into a table and then using the excel table as you data source for thunkable?

I plan to have a list of images, and on user click, one image from the list should be shown in an empty image box. Once the user clicks on the same button again a new picure from the list shall show in the next empty image box, but the same one cannot appear again. So I need to maintain a list of images and on click show one and remove that from the list at the same time.

Can you suggest other options to feed an action with a list of images where I can remove an item other than a variable?

Thanks for the suggestion, I am trying to replicate it using join, but I am running into that during testing all elements diappearing, including the “phone”.

I replaced this (which is working)

Yes, that’s possible with Google Sheets, Airtable, or a local data source. Just make sure the images are hosted somewhere (e.g. https://_____).

Yes, this can be done very simply. Let me make you a quick demo.

Many thanks, it seems that I cannot check it with a free plan. Could you make it available for the the free package?

Cheers
