I am trying to save an image for example image "a" to the specialfoldpath ("Documents") of iOS. It seems to save, but the file saved is corrupt. When I open the file in Preview, it says,

"The file "9372.png" could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognize."

This is what I have,

set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Documents")
put image "a" into url ("binfile:9371.png")

or

put the imagedata of image "a" into tPic
put tPic into url ("binfile:9371.png")

any suggestions please!!

Hi Scott,

Try this

Code: Select all

get the text of img "9372.png"
put specialfolderPath("documents") & "/" & "9372.png" into tPath
put it into url("binfile:" & tpath)

Kind regards
Jean-Marc

Hi Scott,

or use "export", which has always worked for me:
...
put specialfolderPath("documents") & "/9372.png" into tPath
export img "a" to file tPath as PNG
...

Best
