| Section | Key | Notes |
| General | Image | The
path and file name of the image. When loading a map file, if the image is not found at the specified path, the Transparent Image Viewer application will look in the current directory (of the .tim file) for an image file with the same name as specified in this key having the extension (.bmp), (.gif) and (.jpg). If the image file is found, the new path will be updated in the (.tim) file for this key. This is done to allow you the ease of moving images and map files around.* |

removable regions. |

*Due to the way this file is structured and the way the Transparent Image Viewer application handles paths, map files can not be executed from a CD-ROM or any other storage media that does not allow writing from the file-system directly. An error will occur when an attempt is made to create or update a map file.
