bmp and png files dont show up for loading

IN vcarve desktop. 8.0 I am trying to
use the trace bitmap tool to create vector outline but in local files where the xxxxx.bmp should show up in the windows file structure vectric sees nothing.....file exorer shows that it is out there.....
Thanks Dave

You have to start a new project then hit FILE / IMPORT / IMPORT-BITMAP

Then it will list raster formats

If you hit FILE / OPEN then it only lists vector formats

Thanks SignTorch , on first try File >New then when a clean slate opened File>Import opened a submenu with the >import bitmap option greyed out......but after closing the Vectric pgm and reloading , things worked right .....I could instantly see all the raster files and instantly load one...

Thank you Much !
Dave
