Chapter 32 Pictures
Pictures are updated to work with Upload, Image, and Docs tools to keep all pictures. BigBusiness stores originals, creates thumbnail images, and keeps them in edge storage.
Pictures Prefs let you Show images for items and choose Fast for instantly displaying.
This chapter will list changes that are added for saving, showing, and sending pictures.
Pictures Prefs
Pictures Prefs let you Show an image on items and choose Fast for instant display.
Shown is the Compact view of an Item card with the new Thumb Image in the center, and Detail Description moved right using the settings for Show Images or Fast Images.
Pictures Prefs are available in My Prefs for yourself and Company Prefs for everyone. Use Employees Search options to Add(+) or Update to set each employee as needed.
Windows Pictures
Big Business updates Pictures to use modern thumbnails and edge storage for speed.
Upload button on the Item card is updated to work the same on Mac and Windows. Pictures are stored the same and available for conversion to a Thumb Image on Item.
Previously, Windows Pictures worked differently and did not store pictures like Mac.
Item Pictures
Picture Prefs let you choose to Show Images to see a Thumb Image on the Item card.
If you have Pictures added already in Upload, BigBusiness will create a Thumb Image.
Index Pictures
Indexes are added to Pictures for fast lookup of alternates, originals, and thumb images.
Drag Photos
Drag Photos from Apple Photos into the Thumb Image in an Item card in BigBusiness.
BigBusiness saves the original in Docs and creates a Thumb Image using your settings. Thumb Images default to 1024 x 1024 PNG images ideal for printing and transparency.
Windows Images
Windows Images are not enabled by default and should be a carefully considered first.
Pictures 3 lets you assign and each user choose to store local copies of Thumb Images. This is fine on a Mac with flash drive, but Windows users may be in Remote Desktop.
Check with support@bigbusiness.com if you have any questions about this control. Enable Windows Images on the Company card, Advanced Control tab when needed.
