FMP7 no longer previews jpg's

[dhunyady]

I just upgraded my very simple photo database to FMP7 mainly for the increased file size. I have a script to import photos (2 per record) that used to open a Choose File box and show a preview of whichever image I selected. Now it just shows me the generic jpeg image for each file. Since the photos are directional (ie, right and left orientation), I really need to be able to see what the picture is before I insert it intot he container field. The Finder does appropriately show the preview. How can I restore this basic function that FMP6 had?

Thanks,

Dave

I ran into the same thing. Your script step probaly has "Insert File" and now it needs to be "Insert Picture".

The script actually did use the Insert Picture step. I changed it to Insert File, and of course that doesn't help either. The script is:

Go To Field [File::Field]

Insert Picture []

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Solved this by using GraphicConverter to create a custom preview icon.
