I made a huge mistake...

[Futurama56]

Ok, I was new to FM and when I was doing data entry, I simply dragged my images into the container field. Not the greatest idea I found out when my file is topping 280mb and loads painfully slow on the web. Is it possible with a script or plugin to export and reference all the images to a file?

- not an esy way. Since path info is not saved in the file, the only way ist to re-import, or

export to a new pathname as PICT, then reimport those as reference (applescript only).

How about zipping up your files before putting it on the container field....at least you save up some space

Zip will not compress more GIF or JPG pictures. Maybe up to 1-2%.

How about using winrar instead of winzip

jpg's and gif's are already compressed very efficiently. Trying to compress a file that's already compressed generally won't make any significant difference. Sometimes it can actually make the file bigger.
