Barrett Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 We have a catalog with picts embedded in the file via the conainer fields. If we put this file on the web, I assume that it will fail since the images were put in as picts (don't ask me why ) If they were .jpg or .gif embedded would it have worked.

Keith M. Davie Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 .jpgs and .gifs work. Peace Keith M. Davie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrett Posted March 4, 2001 Author Share Posted March 4, 2001 Err.... so you are saying that if you have embedded jpgs and gifs that it can be served over the web without modification? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted March 4, 2001 Share Posted March 4, 2001 IMHO - WebCompanion will convert any picture to the .jpg from container. But it is very bad for load on WC. Much better is to include in text field just reference to the picture, like "http://www.prnet.cz/images/jw.gif" and the picture will be served by normal server-browser connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith M. Davie Posted March 5, 2001 Share Posted March 5, 2001 You might try converting one .pict to a .gif or .jpg using a tool such as GraphicConverter and testing it yourself. The only thing I would recommend is making your container/.jpg-.gif consistent, or have two containers which give a portrait and a landscape type choice of picture display. Just make all sizes consistent. Whether or not this is "speed satisfactory" is not for me to say. Peace Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barrett Posted March 5, 2001 Author Share Posted March 5, 2001 After testing on my LAN via a web browser with instant web sharing; it converts the embedded images to jpeg on the fly. We'll probably end up going in and redoing all the records by hand to ref an appropriate external jpg since we only have about 230 records involved.
