The image library

The Library tab is where the images on your phone live before you copy them to a drive. (It also has a view of what’s on the connected USB drive — see Managing files on your drive.)

Phone vs drive

Two tabs at the top:

• On phone — images stored on your device (downloaded or imported).
• On USB drive — the bootable images currently on the connected drive.

What each image shows

Every image lists its name and size. Tap More details for:

• the full file name and exact size in bytes;
• the date it was added;
• its SHA-256 checksum (with a Copy button), and whether it was checksum verified;
• for images that match an official catalog entry, a Verified · (publisher) badge.

Storage at a glance

A segmented bar shows how your phone’s storage is split between Library, Other, and Free, so you can see how much room your images take.

Importing

Tap Import ISO to add files from your phone — see Adding ISO images. Archives (.zip/.gz) are unpacked automatically, and name clashes ask Replace / Keep both / Cancel.

Update tracking (Pro)

If an image matches a catalog entry and a newer version is published, BootForge flags Update available. You can update a single image or tap Update all; the old copy is removed once the new one downloads and verifies (you can also keep both). Pro users can opt in to a background notification when updates appear.

Sending images to the drive

Select one or more images and tap Send to drive to copy them — see Copying images to the drive. Long-press to multi-select.

Deleting

Delete removes the image from your phone only — it never touches any USB drive. Multi-select to delete several at once; the confirmation tells you how much space you’ll free.
