Jeff, Many requests have been made in the past. It can't hurt to ask.

Using your method: When I'm finished editing the image in the BLOB Editor I would need to manually save the file (by entering a file name and location), and then update the record in the table with the new file. I am looking for a solution that avoids writing the BLOB to a file, editing, and re-importing the BLOB. I can see a scenario where I need to edit hundreds of pictures and I want to automate as much as I can to eliminate repetitive clicks. Right now, I like the way that I can click on the DB image control in a form (or say, "EDIT varbitcolumn FROM m_ytable" and opening the BLOB by double clicking on the cell) and the BLOB opens, I make my changes, press save, and the BLOB is magically saved in my_table. However, I just wish there was a way to change many of the BLOB Editor default settings. For instance, when I press "Save", the default format is "JPG". It sure would be nice if I could change that to BMP permanently, and I would need to change it ever ytime. Perhaps, I need to wishfully submit an enhancement request at this point for a "change BLOB editor default settings" Thanks a lot! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MikeB Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 10:18 AM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Rbase Blob Editor Question Whatever Blob image you have selected from your db, set a variable to type varbit and then using the Select Command do this: Select SomeBlobColumn into vTheVarBItVariable ind Vin0 from WhatEverTableTheBlobIsIn where the UniqueColumnID = .vSomeVaraibleContainingTheUniqueID --Then Write The Varbit Variable To Disk like: WRITE . vTheVarBItVariable TO TheFileNameYouAreGoingToSpecifyForTheBlobEditor -- then Execute your Blob Editor Command With Whatever Parameter You are going to use as Razzak Said: {Replacing zoom_parameter in the following command with one of these: ACTUAL FULL FIT_WIDTH FIT_HEIGHT FIT_PAGE} filename.ext zoom_parameter {using whatever parameter} > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of > Richardson, Jeff > Sent: Monday, January 27, 2014 6:27 AM > To: RBASE-L Mailing List > Subject: [RBASE-L] - Re: Rbase Blob Editor Question > > I see.
