Images

Organizer Advantage for Windows allows you to store and display images within database records.

This page explains how to add and manage images in your database.

The Graphic field stores the image file name. You can store your images anywhere on your hard disk.

You can store your images in the directory used by Organizer Advantage (..\DATA\DB\IMG\ ). If you do so, you will be able to backup and restore your image files.

Image field functions:

• Load: select the image file from your computer.
• Paste: paste the image from the Windows clipboard.
• URL: store a link to the web image, image is displayed from the web.
• Clear: clear the image.

Position the mouse pointer over the image field to display the image file name. If the image is stored in the advantage directory ( ...\DATE\DB\IMG\ ) the program displays only the file name. If the image is stored in another directory the whole path with the file name is displayed.

Image data entry control has a Popup Menu with the following functions:

• File Name: displays the name and the path of the image file;
• Load: opens a dialog box that allows you to choose a file from the last accessed folder, displaying all image files in that location. Select the desired image file and click the "OK" button. The selected image will then be displayed in the picture control. Supported image file formats include BMP, JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
• Load From Default Folder: opens a dialog box that navigates directly to the default image folder, showing all images contained within. The default image folder is located at: C:\YOUR-Advantage\data\db\img\.
• Paste: pastes the image from the Windows Clipboard into the field.
• Clear: clears the image;
• Full Screen: allows viewing the image on the whole screen.
• Open in Default App: It will start the image editing application with the selected image automatically loaded.

You can review image files by displaying this field on the grid.

You can display images on the grid. Click with the right mouse button on the header, then in the popup menu set the Grid Row Height to at least 2 and check the Picture on Grid option.

Where are your images stored that display only the image file name? Open Windows File Explorer, select "C:\your_advantage\data\db\img\" folder.

Full Screen: allows viewing the image on the whole screen. Click on the image to close the window. There are three small icons (commands): Next, Previous, and Exit.
