## 3.8.2. Directory Layout

1
The import process will recursively walk through a given directory hierarchy searching for image files. When an image file is discovered, the process will look for a caption file associated with the image. A caption file must have the file extension caption. For example, if the process discovers an image file named example.png, the caption file associated with it must be called example.caption.
2
Caption files must be provided in the documented caption file format.
