# Recorded Image Viewer Properties

The Recorded Image Viewer element has the following element-specific configurable components listed in its Properties window. These properties are bindable. Therefore, the vision application will reload the image list if any of the below properties have been changed.

Property | Description
Directory | Sets the directory or sub-directory to use as the source of the images. You must specify a path explicitly in this property field. The default value is the Images folder of the 3D vision system. Images: The Recorded Image Viewer element displays the images found in the Images folder of the vision system. This is the default value of the property. Note: You cannot switch to the parent directory of the Images folder, or above that in the folder structure. Images/[subfolder]: The element displays the images found in the specified subfolder of the Images directory (for example, Images/Inspection).
Filter | Sets up a filter condition for the image file names by using wildcards, such as * and ?.
Order by | Sets the sorting mode of the image files: File Name Ascending: Sorts the images by file name in alphabetical and/or numerical order. File Name Descending: Sorts the images by file name in reversed alphabetical and/or numerical order. File Size Ascending: Sorts the images by file size in ascending order (smallest image listed first). File Size Descending: Sorts the images by file size in descending order (largest image listed first). Last Modification Time Ascending: Sorts the images by modification time in ascending order (newest file listed first). Last Modification Time Descending: Sorts the images by modification time in descending order (oldest file listed first).
Selected Image | Gets or sets the name of the selected image. Note: Changing the selected image does not refresh the Recorded Image Viewer element.
