Printing to iphoto with record title

Featured Replies

I am using a Filemaker database in order to create images from text fields (it's a "from text to image" process). I am creating the images using the "print to iphoto" option in the printing dialogue. Those images are exported to iphoto and from them to my ipod in order to create a kind of PowerPoint presentation.

The problem is that the photos so created have a very strange name ("dCxLmt", "QBI8Nf" and the like). I would like to create photos with a title/name that relates to the record or can derive from it (let's say from a field content or formula). Is it possible to do something like this using the "print to iphoto" menu?

Of course I can manually manipulate the photos' titles/names from iphoto, but I would like to automate the process from Filemaker.

Perhaps you can think of any other way to turn field text into photos making use of another technique while keeping control of the files/photos' names.

I have data bases with vocabulary and want to make the text of the words into photos, to import them to my ipod classic (as photos) and to study the photos as if they were flashcards. But it's necessary to control the name/title of the photos created from Filemaker since I have to create many photos from the same record: one for the word, another for the pronuntiation, another for the translations, an so on.

Those presentations are great, but to create them is too time-consuming.

I would really appreciate any suggestion.
