Dear Achim, Thanks for looking into it. I just want to load all images contained in a directory and show all of them simultaneously. The number of images should depend on the contents of directory which should not be constant.
Iterator patch should be able to do that but images are too heavy and image importer is not caching the images.

This is because you told the "Iterator" to do so by the "Structur Count" patch outside the iterator. It looks like, you just want to load a single image. In this case you don't need the iterator at all.
