    Hi. Is there any way to import pictures? Also, how do I show pictures in the list view?

    Hello Bearbrand,

    To show photos in the list view, just move your photo field up to the first spot in your form. Tap Forms will then show the next x # of fields to the right of the photo.

    To import photos it’s a 2 step process. You first need to copy your photos into Tap Forms’ Photos folder using either the FTP server or a program like iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer). Unfortunately iTunes doesn’t allow you to open folders within the iTunes File Sharing area and put stuff in them. If you’re going to use the built-in FTP server in Tap Forms, then you would want to get the Cyberduck FTP program (http://cyberduck.ch) as I found it’s one of the only FTP programs that works right with Tap Forms.

    Once you have your photos copied into the Photos folder in Tap Forms, you’ll need to import a CSV file which references your photos by file name.

    CSV file example:

    Movie Title,Release Year,Cover Photo Terminator 2:Judgement Day,1991,terminator_2_cover.jpg

    Tap Forms will assign the value terminator_2_cover.jpg to the Photo field and will look for a file in the Photos folder with the same name.

    I hope that helps!

    Thanks!

    Brendan
