Choosing a picture

- From the web: paste an
https://link into the box and press Show.
The tile shows JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP, AVIF, BMP, ICO and SVG pictures, and WEBM and MP4 video. A file you choose stays where it is on your disk: the app remembers where it is and never copies it, so moving or deleting the file breaks the tile.
Links must start with https://; plain http links, and links with a login in them, aren't shown.
