VIEWING IMAGE SIZE

Once I've uploaded an image to an image field, is there any easy way to see how large the file is?  It might come up on mouseover or right click, but it doesn't. 

If not that would be a REALLY USEFUL right click addition, as there are only three items on that menu now.

Meanwhile, is there a formula I can use...?

    Hi David,

    Thank you for your suggestion.
    We have already included it in our list of requested improvements. We hope to be able to release them in one of our upcoming versions.
    Thank you very much for your patience.

    Best, Jörg

     

    PS There is also no formula right now.

    Was the image size updated in the new version of Ninox?

    There is a formula now, use this example in a formula field to display the size of the image along with the name of that image:

    let k := index(text(item(files(this), 0)), "/") + 1;
    let n := substr(text(item(files(this), 0)), k);
    format(number(fileMetadata(this, n).size) / 1000, "#,##0.000") + " KBytes - Name: " + n

    Thanks Steven, this is useful. But much needed would be:

    - a direct function that would enable to display the size of an image just below the image placeholder ( your solution does not identify the placeholder / field where the image or file is stored) ,

    - a function to limit uploaded images or files sizes (preferably per field/placeholder);

    -  a function to display the total size of a record in a view in a column (unfortunaltly, your solution is very slow, so can't be used in a large views to identify records that are too big)

      If you want to know the filemetadate of a Imagefield, you can use this formula:

      let i := fileMetadata(this, last(split(text(Imagefield), "/")))    <--this gives an array of the filename,filesize,creationdate
i.name                                                             <--to extract the filename
i.size                                                             <--to extract the size
i.modifiedDate                                                     <--to extract the datestamp
"Filename: " + i.name + "/ Size: " + i.size + "/ Date: " + date(i.modifiedDate)  <-- all in one line

      If you want to know per record how much the total storage is used, you can make per imagefield a size formula and add all together .

       Hello, the modifiedDate seems to be the Date of the uploaded file to Ninox, not the real modifiedDate of the file you upload. Is there any chance to get the file-modifiedDate?

       what do you mean with "not the real" modified date? Isn't the file date not the last modified date of the file? Or does this function gives another date else than the file date?

       I’m using the public cloud and the function gives the date of uploading the file to Ninox. I.e. if I now upload a file and ask fileMetadata I get the date and time from now. But the last modified date of my file ist 1.12.2024 12:23.

      You're right. Seems like a bug. I'll report this to Ninox. Thanks.
