Adding images to RDE

Images can be added to RDE files using the memo field IMAGELIST. When you add an image to the IMAGELIST memo, the full image file name is stored. Multiple images can be added to each record.


To add images, you can right-click on the image memo field and locate images one by one. Faster, you can open the image viewer using the toolbar and then drag images from Windows Explorer, ThumbsPlus, etc.


If images of specimen labels are added to RDE, you can use these to add and/or edit the data.


When you transfer RDE files into BRAHMS, any stored images are registered in the main image library and the image(s) linked tro the correct database record.





The IMAGELIST (here with the old name RDEIMAGES) memo with 2 images (file names) stored. The Image viewer is opened, showing a label image.


If the relative location of image folders changes (e.g. after moving the RDE file or the images to a new PC), use the image folder global edit option.
