When copying the Image from the hard drive to the Mathematica notebook, what can I do to have the path of the Image?
I tried Imort[img] // Path where img is Image but it didn't work.

6 You can use the name to find the path, but not the image variable.
name = "image.png"; img = Import[name] FindFile[name] FindFile finds the same file that Import finds. If you have another image with the same name in a different directory, by changing to that directory (with SetDirectory) Import and FindFile will find the second image.

- $\begingroup$ Then you have copied the image and the path information has gone. $\endgroup$Chris Degnen– Chris Degnen2015-01-18 13:06:51 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:06
- $\begingroup$ So not to loose the path info, I need to import it not to copy? $\endgroup$SuTron– SuTron2015-01-18 13:08:33 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:08
- $\begingroup$ Yes, that's the usual way. $\endgroup$Chris Degnen– Chris Degnen2015-01-18 13:15:29 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:15
- $\begingroup$ In that case what is the point to use FindFile, if you know the name? $\endgroup$SuTron– SuTron2015-01-18 13:21:30 +00:00Commented Jan 18, 2015 at 13:21
