I4d like to get simple (modifiable) script which is importing images
(and other stuff) eg. from folder into Filemaker database.
If your images are of any significant size, don't import. Instead,
reference them. I had some 40 largish images in a FileMaker database,
and it was slow as mud. I pulled them out and referenced them
instead, and the difference was something wonderful!
If you have a large number of images to enter, I'd recommend a
specialized imagebase, rather than FileMaker, which just won't scale
very well. I have over 7,700 ~27MB images in an indexed Extensis
Portfolio database, and it is very quick. I can't imagine having even
0.1% of that in FileMaker!
