CNS Image 1.6.0

CNS Image is a FileMaker plug-in for working with images that will allow you to work with images stored in container fields or stored on the hard drive.

On the most basic level, you can use CNS Image to Import images from the hard drive into FileMaker container fields and Export images from container fields to the hard drive.

However, you will find these basic functions much more powerful than FileMaker's Import and Export. The format of the image you Import or Export can be different than the original.

You can use dialogs or hard-coded paths to locate and save images. You can even Import PDFs on Windows and see a preview of the first page just like you have been able to do on Mac for years.

Possible uses:
· Download GUI elements to your solution.
· Create any sized thumbnails for images.
· Download webcams and other dynamic images to your solutions.
· Create an image browser.
· Create a catalog solution.
· Turn a PDF into separate images for cross-platform viewing in FileMaker.
· Create a screenshot gallery of your solution complete with thumbnails.
· Example database includes six mini solutions as starting points.
· Remember, this is just a short list of ideas, the possibilities are countless.
