Forms - Execute a command - AddFileAttachment

[Peter2]

Hi

can "AddFileAttachment" be configured, like default path to open or open only files per extension JPG"?

Have a fine Monday!

Hello Peter2,

Are you using an Image form field? Or trying to add a file attachment to the file via code?
If you use the image field - then your users will be able to click and add an image - but that could also be e.g. from a PDF file. But I do not think there's a way to filter what is shown to the users.

As for the addFileAttachment - it's also a privileged command - so it will run from the command prompt but might not run if called from a form field.

Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan

I'm not sure if I understand the features of an "image form" .

When I add an image form, it contains automatically the javascript-code "event.target.buttonImportIcon();" This imports an image, selected by the user, but it is integrated into the PDF and can not exported with other data from forms.
Right?

So I added the "execute a command" option with "AddFileAttachment", and now I can add "imageA" to the form and "imageB" (or again Image A) to the file attachment.

Both works as single commands and as double-commands; if it makes sense can be discussed.

But the main question (or answer): "AddFileAttachment" has no further definitions for defaults - right?

Hello, Peter2

You have that right, there is currently no way to export the images embedded as an icon inside a button.

the main question (or answer): "AddFileAttachment" has no further definitions for defaults - right?

That would be correct, the command has no customizable defaults. The dev team did confirm for me however that like other "open file" features, if does remember the last used location during runtime.

Kind regards,

Thanks, OK for me.
