Image Input

I have a folder with a series of .png file extensions.  I want to read those images in and join them to my data via the filename.  When I try to read the files in using the image tool I receive the following error:

 

Error: Render (14): Error parsing Image: Not a PNG file

 

To my knowledge the files are PNG.

 

Does anyone know of a way to troubleshoot this problem?

 

Thanks for the help!

I have knocked up a plug-in tool that will allow you to import image files as data.  It is free to install and use, on Github...

You can use it to import bitmaps, jpegs, gif's, tiff's and png files as data sources, so you can see the (x,y) coordinates and the pixel colour at that coordinate.  There is an explanatory video on youTube too, here...
