Exporting Photographs

Featured Replies

I have large db (Mac ver 11) however I am unable to create a script to export to a specified folder every single picture from the container field and keep the original file names

Is it possible to create a working script to do this?

Kind regards

Assuming your photos are in a container field called "Photo", and are stored as references to external files, you can use the following to export a photo to the Desktop without a dialogue box appearing:

Set Variable [ ($path ; Get (DesktopPath) & RightWords ( GetAsText (Photo) ; 2 ) ]

Export Field Contents [ Photo ; "$path" ]

You can substitute the Desktop for some other folder if you want, and generate a loop to do this for all records in the found set.

This doesn't work if the photos are stored internally to filemaker (not as a reference). In that case I think the original filename is stripped off. However, you could add it with your script if you have it stored in another field.
