Pictures

Pictures can be moved to different parts of the program. This applies to Item, existing equipment, rooms and in the function program. Pictures can be used to explain the appearance of Item, provide sketches or drawings of rooms or photographs of equipment to be transferred.

	Add pictures. You can choose to add pictures with the following formats: GIF, JPG, TIF, PNG and BMP. You can add several pictures at one time. If the pictures are very large, or in another format than GIF or JPG, they will be converted before being downloaded to the database. See also tips below.
	Copy to the clipboard. The picture selected is copied to the clipboard so that you can copy it into other programs such as Word or image processing programs (instead of using Edit-> Paste or Ctrl-V).
	Allows you to save the picture which is displayed as a separate file.
	Displays the picture in a new window for full size display. This also occurs if you double-click the picture.

Tip

Pictures can also be added by using the drag and drop technique. To make work quicker, you can use a file manager and click on the pictures you want to create links for, hold down the mouse button, then drag and drop over the picture tab.

Tip

The above technique can be used directly from web pages. If you want to add a picture from a website, you can click on the picture in Internet Explorer or other browser then drag and drop it over into the Pictures/Documents tab.

If you have problems uploading certain pictures, it may be that they are in a format which the program does not recognize. You can try opening the picture in the file manager's preview function then save it as a JPEG before trying to upload it once more.
