asked on

resizing an image in a container field

Users are dropping 6 to 15 meg wmf and jpg files into a image container.  While it shows fine its taking up a lot of space in the location where it is stored on my disk drive.   Is there a way to change the height and width of the image stored on the drive from within filemaker ?

Thanks

With FileMaker 12 and later you can use the GetThumbnail( ) function to resize images. See:

If you need more control, there a various plugins that can help:
