Hi Everyone, I've recently discovered in my v16 (Windows) database a few rogue records that contain PICT images in picture fields. These, of course, do not display in 64 bit 4D, so I need to convert them.
When I run this: ARRAY TEXT($aPicCodecList;0) ARRAY TEXT($aPicCodecNames;0) PICTURE CODEC LIST($aPicCodecList;$aPicCodecNames) I see that .jpg is included in the codec list (along iwth png, bmp, gif, and others) - but notably, .pict is not there. Also, if I run PICTURE CODEC LIST($aPicCodecList;$aPicCodecNames;*) to see what codecs can be read, .pict isn't listed, either. I'm not surprised, this is a Windows 10 machine. When I run: ARRAY TEXT($aCodecs;0) GET PICTURE FORMATS([TextTable]PictureData;$aCodecs) //` $aCodecs has 1 element which is .pict CONVERT PICTURE([TextTable]PictureData;".png") SAVE RECORD([TextTable]) ARRAY TEXT($aCodecs;0) GET PICTURE FORMATS([TextTable]PictureData;$aCodecs) //` $aCodecs has 1 element which is .pict - so nothing happened! So nothing is being converted; I start with pict and I end up with pict. Maybe this is because I don't have the pict codec on my machine? (Where would I get a pict codec?) Or could there be another reason? Thoughts?
