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: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/3/53ddcef8a089cacdde46416de9dd3092cc72b512.png) I am expecting something like: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/a/a/aad50b51316ee102c92ae44c57b5d330ce6c1287.png) or ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/0/3092d4cca2e268ba46c56d5ea0b03bf25178b39a.png) 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) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/b/3/b34ba3a77a7d4208b58f2e7348f3a7800fd53f36.png) with this (which is not working) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/0/7/07112e385d4b7d3cc5223c34a66bcfc2ce91264e.png) ---

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

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