How can you load an external .jpg or .png file

Question

Hey Guys!
I am trying to find a way of loading a extern image into Godot.
I found multiple discussions about more or less the same topic, but the examples I find are only for audio files and after a few hours of googeling, experimenting and reading the docs up an down, I just can't get them to work with image files.

I know that there is no easy built-in function or anything like that in Godot right know, but for example in this thread someone is saying, importing a .png file is "simple enough":
https://github.com/godotengine/godot-proposals/issues/1632#issuecomment-709985535

I hope somebody can help me, thank you in advance!

Answer 1

func _ready():
    var image = Image.new()
    image.load("image path")
    var t = ImageTexture.new()
    t.create_from_image(image)
    $Sprite.texture = t

Thank you but thats not what I meant.
Your code only works if Godot imported the Image already,.
I am searching for a solution that can import a Image, from a external source.

like a website or from another directory on the file manager like C://user:/Desktop/image.png

From another directory on the Drive, loading already imported Images works Just fine.

Exactly! Would you be so kind and a share your Code?

funny enough its exactly the same as the answer but only difference is using the filedialog node as a path project file here

Your implementation still didn't wotk for me :( But still thank you a lot, for taking your time!
