Re: Converting pictures

Hello again, Process works, although I do have to manually rename and reposition the images pasted into v17. Shouldn't take too long... Alan On Wed, Jan 2, 2019 at 11:20 AM Alan Tilson wrote: > Hello John, Ernie & Chuck, > > Thank you for your responses. I'm just getting back to this... > > I

Re: Converting pictures

Hello John, Ernie & Chuck, Thank you for your responses. I'm just getting back to this... I have 38 instances I believe of static PICT images in our v17 db. So while I'd love to automate this it is not so big really that I can't just work through it. John - I tried your code but it doesn't work.

RE: Converting pictures

Hi Setar, The v13 code to convert PICT -> PNG is here: http://kb.4d.com/assetid=76775 ^ There is no transparency option in that code. While the following code was published for v16: http://kb.4d.com/assetid=77963 ^ This one uses the transparency option. Regarding 4D Pack, it should exist in v16

Bob, You can use the MSC in v16 to flush out all the forms where bad pictures are located, as well as bad picture library items and their references. Then use the picture conversion routine mentioned to convert the pictures to PNGs. We did this a couple months ago to prepare for our move to v16
