Extract Images & Save as Reference only...

[Leb i Sol]

Hello People!

Yes I too have inherited a DB with 3000+ records with Images saved into the file itself .

"For some reason our file is 1.99 GB but it does not have that many records..." was the line when I received it. When I delete the images file is only 500 MB as it should be. Now, my question is how to extract images nameing them based on RecordID?

eg.

IF

RecordID = XYZ-1001

THEN

extract image to C:images with a name of "XYZ-1001.jpg"

BATCH process all this?

any thoughts or ideas?

thank you very much!

1 - Applescript probably is no option, but easiest

2 - a plugin, "Exporter" or similar

3 - a wsh script or macro file:

Hey Cajger!

Thank you for the lead...I was hopeing that Applescript would do but I knew that life is not that easy.

Irfan-view was always in my prog. stack ....we will see how it goes

Thank you Again!
