Importing ( reference ) images from folder

[Raybaudi]

Hi all friends

a referenced image import can give two types of result ?

I'm asking because I found that an image imported from a folder ( reference ) doesn't have the usual 3 values ( size, relative and full with the GetAsText ( Image ) calc ), but only one.

So, in that case, it is not possible to determine the size of the pict.

Someone does know better about this fact ?

BTW: I solved the problem to show the size with a looping script; that didn't solve my question

"It depends on how the image was inserted into the container field. For example, when you import from a folder, you get only the absolute path."

Ahhh... only now I understand what you said me in that post ( 09/22/2009 ) !

But that is an expected behavior ?

I didn't read anything about it from FM inc.

Why isn't the size there ?

And do you know a way to obtain the size of the imported ( from folder ) image ?

I have found a way but it needs a new ( single ) import of the image/s based on the path/s of the first import ( with a Loop ).

I don't know of another way besides looping.
