Yes, this can be resolved in FileMaker alone ... or in AppleScript. To
do the latter:
set pic_path to cell "Path" of current record of current layout
set cell "Image" of current record of current layout to file pic_path
This assumes you have the full path in a FM field called "Path" but of
course you could calculate, eg, by adding a root picture folder plus a
relative path from FileMaker.
If you go with a purely FileMaker solution the Import command includes
the ability to import thumbnails rather than (or in addition to) the
original image. Feel free to contact me off-list if you need help with
that.
