Once you have the file, extract it and remove the directories and files that you don’t want to change. This way you won’t need to worry about getting the names of the folders or the structure of the folders wrong. | |||
Different devices have different screen capabilities, and therefore there are different directories for them. | |||

You can also use images in different resolutions. The standard resolution (used mostly in older devices) is 72 pixels per inch (PPI). These days, our projects use double of the standard resolution; this is indicated by the suffix @2x in the file name. It is generally sufficient to add only one image resolution when importing new icons, Woodford will generate all the necessary sizes automatically. | |||

For example, if we want to add only one image to the home screen for our custom entity with name cust1 and overwrite the default image for invoices, we have to create a zip file with the following structure: | For example, if we want to add only one image to the home screen for our custom entity with name cust1 and overwrite the default image for invoices, we have to create a zip file with the following structure: | ||

Images.zip file should be in the root. | ||
{{Note|The zip should only contain images you want to replace or add, so if you use the sample zip, you need to remove all the default images, otherwise, they will be used twice in the project, and the project will increase in the size, resulting to possible problems in synchronization, and increasing the time of synchronization.}} | {{Note|The zip should only contain images you want to replace or add, so if you use the sample zip, you need to remove all the default images, otherwise, they will be used twice in the project, and the project will increase in the size, resulting to possible problems in synchronization, and increasing the time of synchronization.}} | ||
