Display the path to a linked file?

[Wing]

I'm building an image cataloging system and have a container field that houses a linked file.

I'd like to have a field display the path to the linked file, so we can track where the image file is stored.

I've looked and only been able to find reference to the database file path, and nothing about a file in a container field.

Likewise, having a field display the files name would be wonderful too.

Suggestions? Thanks.

A calculation field (result is text) =

YourContainerField

will return the file's info, including paths (absolute and relative). The file name can be parsed out using text functions - see here.

The scripting for parsing out the info is a little over my head at the moment, but I'm figuring it out. This is exactly the thread I needed.

Thanks!
