I apologize if this has been asked a bunch, but I promise I did do a lot of searching before landing on a post here.
Here’s my scenario:
I have a form that I use to document Amazon product reviews. I have several image fields in the form for screenshots and item pictures. In the couple of months I’ve been using this form I was adding uncompressed images so my DB size has grown quite a bit. I exported all of my images along with a CSV of all my records., ran a Python script to compress them, and would now like to feed them back into TapForms. However, I can’t seem to get the images to import along with the records.
I have tried having the images in the same folder but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. I primarily use TF5 on my iPad Air 5th Gen and my main computer is a Windows PC, so I don’t have the option of using TF on a Mac. Have I run into a Mac-only thing or am I missing something? I have 214 records I’ll have to update manually if importing isn’t an option, so I have my fingers crossed. Thanks in advance!
Take care,
Josh
This feature is only available on the Mac version. You can select a folder of photos and Tap Forms will match up those files with the names of the photos in the Photo field being imported.
The Mac version also has a “Resize All Photos” option which when clicked will resize all the photos and save them back to the same database. So no need to export and re-import the records.
If you’d like to send me a backup of your document I can run it in Tap Forms 5 for Mac and resize the photos for you.
