How to display thumbnails?

[martin_mayer]

Hello ,

using the image-UI-element it is possible to show images like icons and thumbnails.

With Icons from the mime-repository this is quite easy. Source = 'ICON_NAME'

But how can this be done with files from a fileserver or other destinations?

Source = 'f:\xyz.jpg' does not work.

thanks in advance

Hi Martin,

The browser imposes some restrictions in using links to local files. If the files reside on another server, try switching to http/https.

Regarding possible notations of URLs at the server side (from a programming perspective), you will find some useful information in this blog:

It shows how you could emply RFC destinations and other server features in order to decouple an application from a particular URL.

Best regards,

Thomas
