Steve -
I have been reviewing old forum messages to see what I could "pick up" and I was intrigued by this topic. I have a few questions for you.
First, I am most interested in how you finally resolved this matter. Did you come up with a solution you are happy with?
Second, you spoke about ACDSee and, since I don't have a clue what that is, I was wondering whether you could elaborate in general and, more specifically, with how you have integrated it with Sesame.
Quote:However, we LOVE the fact that we can "drag" a photo from ACDSee into Sesame and use programming to 'auto-insert' the photo....VERY HANDY FEATURE!
This too is intriquing. I didn't know anything could be "dragged" into Sesame let alone that you could "auto-insert" the photo (although I am assuming you mean the path to the photo). I am very eager to hear more about this.
I can tell you that I have been concerned about the path to pictures for some time. Presently I am using separate folders for each application, so that each picture path takes me to the correct folder.
If I want to see a picture that is not in the path I have used @ASynchShell to view the picture and alt/tab back and forth (if necessary) to Sesame.
For example I've used:
var n as int
n=@asynchshell("C:\sesame\pics\middle villagers\" + Mail Name + ".jpg")
When I click on the element containing the code, it just automatically goes to the correct path (different than the one in my application default) and shows me the picture (of the appropriate person) in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer.
Given what I think you are saying I was wondering whether I could combine this type of programming with the "drag/insert" capabilities of ACDSee, for pictures that I want to "more permanently" capture in my Sesame application.
Thanks!
