Implements image import feature that adds images as new layers without clearing existing work: **New Import Image Function** (`hooks/use-file-operations.ts`): - `importImage()` - Creates new layer with imported image - Preserves all existing layers and canvas state - Automatically names layer from filename (removes extension) - Loading indicator during import process - Success/error toast notifications - Supports all common image formats (PNG, JPG, WEBP, etc.) **File Menu Integration** (`components/editor/file-menu.tsx`): - Added "Import Image..." menu item with ImagePlus icon - Positioned after "Open..." for logical flow - Separate file input for import (only accepts images) - Import handler with file input reset - Keyboard accessible with proper ARIA roles **Key Differences from Open:** - **Open** - Replaces entire canvas (clears all layers, resets dimensions) - **Import** - Adds image as new layer (preserves existing work) **User Experience:** - File > Import Image... opens native file picker - Only image files accepted (image/*) - Import creates layer with image dimensions - Layer positioned at origin (0, 0) - Can import multiple images as separate layers - Works alongside existing drag & drop functionality **Use Cases:** - Adding reference images to canvas - Building collages from multiple images - Importing assets without losing current work - Layer-based compositing workflows All functionality tested and working with no build errors. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
