I want to use Servoy to store JPEG images with associated thumbnails. I am looking for a method to compute a thumbnail to store in the same table as the JPEG. I currently perform this task in Filemaker with the help of a plug-in. Any ideas?
We can build code for this, but I can’t promise when this would be implemented.
At this moment we have a lot of feature requests on our plate.
We’re planning to release a req. features list for registered developers
with the possibility to vote, as whe want to keep an “open line” to our customers as much as possible.
Having been developers ourselves for years, we know how frustrating it can be to keep on bumping into limitations. Especially when your software supplier does not listen to suggestions.
I will definitely put your request on the list.
Thanks.

And I’ll back that one up with “and arrogant about not putting in features too.” Golly Gee Wiz, I guess you actually can allow devlelopers to trigger events when you exit and enter a field.
Oh, and does anyone know of an application coded in recent years with a multimillion dollar development budget that draws checkboxes like it’s 1994? I’m looking for that less is more look
in 1.2RC6 there will be an extra method on label/button elements:
getThumbnailJPGImage()
you can do then this:
var jpgData = elements.myimage.getThumbnailJPGImage();
application.writeFile(“mypicture.jpg”, jpgData);
and the image you see is stored.
I am impressed! Your responsiveness has encouraged me to move my 6 year old mission critical medical records application from FMP into Servoy.

I use this feature every day. It works great. Thanks for adding it to Servoy.
