![]() The master FileMaker script controlling image export is constructed to adapt to the rules and parameters of the current platform (either iOS or macOS), acting accordingly for each. ![]() Record metadata is tagged to the imported image by a FileMaker/Omni Automation script, triggered when the user taps the “Transfer Image Metadata” button in the database interface. In iOS, the image is exported to a temporary folder, then opened into an overlay window so it may be dragged by the user into the OmniGraffle document as either a new image or a replacement for an existing image. When the “Open” button in the chooser dialog is clicked, the image will be placed in the document inside a new shape automatically tagged with metadata from the source FileMaker record. In macOS, due to application sandbox security restrictions, the image data cannot be imported directly into the OmniGraffle document, but will instead be exported to a new file placed in the user’s Documents folder, and then imported into the current OmniGraffle document via a file chooser dialog, in which the current user must navigate to the Documents folder and select the exported image file. Since the example database uses embedded image data, exported image files are generated by the database in order for images to be placed in documents in other applications, like an OmniGraffle document.įurthermore, the example database is designed to be used on both macOS and iOS and follows the permission and security rules common and particular to both platforms. In those scenarios where the image data is stored as a remote file, URLs to the remote image files become the export value for the image field in the database. ![]() A record’s corresponding image data is embedded within the database archive itself, rather than being stored outside of the database as an image file (such as on a server). Every record in the example database contains a product image.
