View blob JPEG photos

Only accessible when connected and a table is active and when the grid is switched to table editor mode (to be sure, perform a «Table management>Reload» with «Ctrl-Z»), the «Record>View blob JPEG photos» submenu allows a user to display any column holding a JPEG photo.

How to display a blob ?

To display a blob from the current table, first, be sure that the grid is switched to table editor mode, put the cursor on the record field from which you want to display the blob. Invoke the «Record>View blob JPEG photos» submenu clicking on it or using the «Ctrl-W» shortcut. If the column content is really a JPEG photo, a photo frame appears, displaying the picture. You may want to dither or to increase the color depth. To do that, select the appropriate value in the «Colors» menu of the JPEG display window.
