Hi all,

I would like to save an image and then open it later, when opening stack again.

To save the image I'm using this code:

Code: Select all

put the long id of image imageName to longIDofImageName
export image longIDofImageName to file ("file:" & specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "customPreview.png") as PNG

To open the image later, I'm trying to use this code:

Code: Select all

put specialFolderPath("documents") into tFolderPath
put tFolderPath & "/customPreview.png" into tFilePath
set the filename of image "previewImage" to file tFilePath

I also tryied this:

Code: Select all

put URL ("file:"& tFilePath) into image "previewImage"

to date without any luck!

I read documentation and examples but I'm afraid I'm missing something...

Hi Mag,

just minor mistakes...

Try this:

Code: Select all

put the long id of image "imageName" into longIDofImageName
export longIDofImageName to file (specialFolderPath("documents") & slash & "customPreview.png") as png

and this:

Code: Select all

put specialFolderPath("documents") into tFolderPath
put tFolderPath & "/customPreview.png" into tFilePath
set the filename of image "previewImage" to tFilePath

I've tried, both of 'em work.
Don't forget to check out the differences.

Best,
