## Reading Images From File

You can load any supported file format by using the `File->Open` menu item. You can also drag an file (icon) from the desktop or from a file browser into the white scan area. Starting with version 4.1.0 on the Mac you can also right-click on any supported file, select `Open With` and then pick xyscan from the list.

xyscan remembers the 5 last scanned images. If you decide to re-scan a plot again use the `File->Open Recent` submenu. To remove all files form the history list use `File->Open Recent->Clear History`.
