Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)
@Mel Charles Oh trust me, I am escalating this to Ninox support. I followed their suggestion to set up a Zoom meeting, but that was a complete mess in that no link to join was ever provided and then…

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)
This time it's even worse as even a reloaded archive will NOT save data. Really, what is the point of a database that chooses to NOT SAVE DATA.

Re: MAJOR problem (v3.7.14 Mac)
IT'S HAPPENED AGAIN!!!! Yes, caps intended because this is really ******* me off. Data I added late yesterday is gone and checking the files I can see that Ninox did not update the data.…

Re: Ninext : Important information
Wow, that's a kicker. Only used Jacques stuff in one db and refrained from using it in others in fear of exactly this outcome. Jacques, can you explain why this is occurring?

Re: More Vieweirdness
@Fred Yes, useful for future reference, thanks. In this case however I have simply used a different column on which to filter (and that works ).

Re: More Vieweirdness
I just tested further and in a table showing a Dynamic Choice column (DCfield), I added another column for text(DCfield), so both columns appear identical.…

Re: More Vieweirdness
@Fred I can do, but the problem is easily replicated by the simple scripts I posted above. Just trying to use text(DCfield) cannot then be filtered, whereas simply using DCfield directly can be…

Re: More Vieweirdness
@Mel Charles I am using the Mac app with iCloud sharing, not what I think you're referring to as 'web based'. That aside, I've not seen this issue anywhere else either, completely new to me.…

Re: More Vieweirdness
Ninox does have an annoying habit that if you set a formula for a column (new or existing) that it doesn't like, it simply deletes the column. When trying to fathom some complex code to display what…

More Vieweirdness

Yesterday I decided to add some (table type) Views to a Table and then use a filter so each of the new Views showed the selection I wanted. As per usual,…

Re: Where have the Views gone?
@Mel Charles Mac app with iCloud shared database. I have since read of other users experiencing all the same issues, so although uncommon, they are not unheard of.…

Re: I am losing records
I also have seen this, recently, on the local Mac app sync'ing via iCloud. I spent a day adding data and then later on (after closing the db to save an archive and re-opening) noticed the recent data…

Re: Views are not saved when I close database
I had it just the other day. All views I had painstakingly created that day were gone when re-opening the db. I am almost always in admin mode as I'm constantly changing stuff as I use the db,…

Where have the Views gone?

I have a simple table of all the images used in the database. They are categorised so I can limit the list when picking a photo for a linked record. I set up half a dozen (Table type) 'Views' so I…

Re: Bulk import images
@AlexisO I gave up. In the end I added a button that opened a Finder window (opeURL()) to the folder containing the photo I wanted (I had the full path in another field) and dragged that image into…

Re: Bulk import images
I have run the loop multiple times and the result is that text(imageField) shows the image is set to what one might expect, but the image has not been imported at all.…

Re: Copying pictures from table to table not possible!
@RoSoft_Steven Thanks again, but I am under the impression share file() is cloud only. I'll give it a try anyway in case that's not correct.

Re: Copy a image or picture
@RoSoft_Steven Thanks, I had read that but linking to another table is not the issue here and as far as I am aware, share file() is not available in a local db (Mac app).

Bulk import images

After hours of reading and testing, I am still no nearer so am forced to ask. Using the Mac app, I want to import a (local, i.e. on the Mac) folder full of images into a simple table with an image…

Re: How are images stored?
@rk.brown When Ninox imports an image, it copies the file to its own 'internal' folders and actually just stores in the database a link to that new file.…

Re: Copy a image or picture
@Jörg Another 2 years and Ninox is still incapable of something as simple as copying an image. Even worse you have deliberately obscured the location of stored image files and made it impossible to…

Re: How to read/copy the file name of a picture in an image container
@blackie As of v3.7.14 on Mac, all you get is the file name and a single path component like K66/image.jpg. The K66 part is some form of encryption to a folder with a unique ID (like C9JA3n8PcuXg) in…
