Can one directly photograph into FM

Featured Replies

Importing jpgs seems to be posible, but could I directly photograph into FM?

Could it be done with a custom script?

See this page.

web page

There is a very small Footnote that this can be done on a Mac, but no mention

of the date of this page.

Is an update available for Win?

Norbert, So far what I have found is a plug in that was developed by Emagex, Inc. They make a Twain Plug-in that will allow you to import any TWAIN compatible product into FileMaker. The only problem is that there are not too many digital cameras that are TWAIN compatible anymore. I heard that the Cannon Elfs are so you might want to try those. Also, if your going to "scan" the photograph in, most Scanners are TWAIN compatable. I don't know the name of Emagex's website but the name of their plug-in is emagexTwain plug-in. You might want to do a search in google for it. Good Luck! hope this helps....Jim

there is even a free windows olugin that does TWAIN at http://www.abstract.com

But - as jim pointed out, not of much use with most cams.

Thank you Christian;

I do have cameras with Twain Canon G1 and D30 I can use their program to aquiere and then

past the picture int any program, but what I want and need is to photograph directly into FM,

or any other program availabe. This is called a Hot Folder.

Special event programs like Express Digital can do this but it has a very limited database cabability.

Please look again at the Mock Site to see what I want to accomplish

BTW I am going back to Germany by next year and want to start this business there but try it here first.
