Importing graphics with a script

[leahbrooks]

Each record in my file contains a text field with the name of a graphics file. I want to do a one-time import of the files (one per record) into a container field. Is there a way I can script this, using the text field with the name of the file. I am on a PC, not a Mac.

Thanks for any advice!

If you do not need to import the images by storing them as a reference only, then the Troi 'File' plug-in (cross-platform) contains a decent multiple-image import feature.

FYI - There is a discussion about this very topic called 'Loading Images' in the FMForums 'Scriptmaker' area.

Please feel free to add to the discussion!
