For image component, i can not use url. There is no section. İ can choose only picture file

That is not true. Just use a URL instead of a filename. If you do it right, it will work.
Cheers, Ghica.

Thanks tim , it was about url tyle. I solved that. Now , i can use url for photos. But other thing , the image component is not so useful because it shows only one picture. How can we show many photos in only one app screen(like slide show) so suppose that i load many photos to app. When i slide left the photo , the other one will come. How can we do that ? Otherwise we have to use many image components for each photo. And they will shown as one under the other.Thats not good.

you could use the webviewer... but you will need additionally some HTML and probably JavaScript know how...
alternatively take a look at one of the listview extensions, you can find the extension directory here https://puravidaapps.com/extensions.php
