Image format

What image format(s) are compatible with Ninox?

I'm sure I read somewhere that Ninox can only work with jpegs. While I think it's pretty deplorable that a modern database can only handle a single format, what is worse is that I can find no mention of this anywhere in the manual or the forum. Surely something as important as this (with regard to images) should be clearly stated somewhere in the documentation.

Would appreciate it if anyone could confirm what format(s) can be used and where I can find this information.

    In answer to my own question, I have been using JPEGs and PNGs without any issues. Ninox handles them both, no problem. However I would still say that this sort of info should be in the manual rather than having to be trial and error.

    I think we have answered this before for you?

    it handles PDF/Gif/Jpeg/PNG etc no problem

    So seems a bit harsh to say it's "deplorable"

    what format are you waninting to store?

    I'm afraid I have not seen any answer to the original question, but have since ascertained for myself that it can handle what I require and so thought it 'polite' to actually answer it myself rather than leave it as another open question that helps no-one who in future might be wondering the same thing - highly likely since there's no mention of this in the docs - that I have been able to find anyway.

     

    I thought it clear that my 'deplorable' comment was entirely based on initially reading that Ninox can only handle jpegs and nothing else and in that case I believe it would be justified. However, either what I read was in fact incorrect, or Ninox has subsequently been updated to handle more formats and so yes, at this time to use 'deplorable' is entirely unjustified. Unfortunately I had initially been mislead and sought to correct that with my later posting, once I had ascertained the information I was originaly seeking.

     

    So let me clarify. I am quite satisfied with Ninox's image handling capabilities. In fact, I'm very happy with it generally as it's working extremely well. I still wish for better documentation though as that would mean fewer qauestions needing to be asked of others as one attempts to get 'up to speed' as it were.

     

    Thanks for your answer though.
