Hello guys! I'm working nights and have the chance to be able to work on my campaigns at work. What I would like to do is being able to use the pictures I uploaded in my library for, let's say NPCs and Handouts pictures, or even just to download them back on my workplace's computer. And I cannot find how to do that. I've looked a bit, tried to Google it in case I was just being stupid, but I can't find the right way to do it. Having to move the pictures from one computer to the other is quite a pain, is there no way to do that simply? Cause I can use the pictures to create tokens but not NPCs and Handouts. That's weird. :) Thanks!

The way it's designed right now, your personal Roll20 Art Library only goes one way (upload, not download). What I'd recommend is either making a free Dropbox or Google Drive (or another cloud service) account and uploading all your graphic files to that. Then you can access them and work on them from whatever workstation you're on.

Well I'll do that next week then. Still it's sad I can't do it the way I wanted :P Thanks, Kristin.

Another thing that I didn't realise. When I upload one picture for the token (cause I want to show it in the roll20 app, on my map) and the same picture for the NPC's picture, I need to upload twice. Which means I'm losing a lot of space. No way to avoid that? Thanks! Never mind, I just need to upload the picture for the NPC first, and then drag it on the map. This way I don't need to upload twice.

You do not need to upload it twice to use it for NPC and Map (in either order). I am guessing you are using the Art Library Manager (Art library popup window). That is only designed to drop images onto the tabletop. If you use the Art Library Sidebar (the art library tab) you can drag images from the sidebar to any "Drop a File" window such as Characters, Handouts, or Cards.

That really should be mentioned on the UI... EG "Drag files from your workspace or your art library , or hit browse."
