I tried searching several different strings and did not find what I was looking for. I apologize if my search-fu is weak and I overlooked an obvious answer. Thanks in advance.

How do I take a VTT map file (from a program like Dungeondraft) and import it into FGU to use in a campaign? Dropping it into my campaign's images folder (like you would a .jpg or .png) did not work and the system doesn't "see" it as far as I can tell.

Hit the "assets" button on the right of FGU. It'll be there, once you find it, you can use it in FG in various ways.

Ah, thanks Trenloe...the import function in Images was what I needed. I knew it was simple and operator error
