Newbies darinlang Posted August 9, 2001 Newbies Share Posted August 9, 2001 Does anyone know a way to import a folder of images into container fields faster than entering them one at a time? I can't figure out any way to add an image to a container except by import Picture dialog box. It would be great If I could just have it load the image according to the image name in the image name field. Any solutions that anyone is aware of?

esteshk Posted August 13, 2001 Share Posted August 13, 2001 Take a look at the Troi File plug-in at www.troi.com. It adds external script functions that allow you to do just what you want. If I remember correctly, it even comes with an example file that you can use as is or moddify to fit your needs!

Ocean West Posted August 30, 2001 Share Posted August 30, 2001 How do I modify this to not store a reference but actually store image in FM? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anatoli Posted September 1, 2001 Share Posted September 1, 2001 One developer here used KeyQuencer for that. AppleScript was just storing references. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marija Posted September 13, 2001 Share Posted September 13, 2001 I tried out the Troi File plug-in, using the TrFile-ReferenceToClip command. My understanding is that this should only store a reference to the file; however, my database size did not get any smaller from when I had the pics imported. After my system crashed when trying to save a compressed version, I tried cloning & importing. The file size still did not get smaller. Am I using the right command? Is there a line of code I need to put in the script to make it reference instead of import? Or do I need a different plug-in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LiveOak Posted September 14, 2001 Share Posted September 14, 2001 Try saving a compressed copy. Deleting doesn't always effectively reduce database size without a compress. -bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
