Hi All, 4D v17R4 Windows and Macintosh Stand alone and 4D Server I do not have an old 4D Write plugin only the new 4D Write Pro App upgraded from 4D 2012 to 4D V17
I am working on the final v17 conversion piece migrating older 4D Write saved in picture field to 4D Write Pro saved in object field. I am using the the code from the component on the blog "https://blog.4d.com/migrate-4d-write-documents-stored-in-picture-fields/#component”. However, as I watch the code in the debugger, this is what I see: $blob:=_Extract4W7From4DPicture ($1) If (BLOB size($blob)=0) GET PICTURE FORMATS($1;$codecIDs) If (Size of array($codecIDs)=1) If ($codecIDs{1}=".pict”) !!! // makes it to here so “knows” it’s a pict. $blob:=_Extract4W7FromMacPicture ($1) !!! // returns an empty blob End if End if End if Inside this routine "Extract4W7FromMacPicture ($1)” this line executes PICTURE TO BLOB($1;$blob;"PICT") Always returns an empty blob even though $1 is a picture with a size like 25ko. So not sure what;’s going on and why it doesn’t work. Does anyone have any experience with converting an older 4D Write saved in a picture field into a 4D Write Pro object? Appreciate, John… ********************************************************************** 4D Internet Users Group (4D iNUG) Archive: http://lists.4d.com/archives.html Options: https://lists.4d.com/mailman/options/4d_tech Unsub: mailto:[email protected] **********************************************************************
