How Download Some Picture into Client Computer NOT in Server Machine?

cishpix

Hi all,
I have search in this forum about how download some picture and how show the check box for multi select (for picture) but unfortunately not founded.
For easier sample, I take PhotoAlbum from Aware IM sample

My questions

How to set the checkbox for every picture can selected when we click the picture?
How download some or all picture directly into our computer NOT in Aware IM machine?

I have use EXPORT DOCUMENT Photo.DisplayPhoto TO FOLDER 'c:/' process but unfortunately the pictures only download into server machine, not into client computer

For question number 2, you can use:
DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT

You can't force a file to end up in a specific folder on the client's computer.
The browser on the client decides what happens to the downloaded file.

Hi Joben, thanks for your response. I have test it but only the first image downloaded, not other picture that was selected together.
Just FYI, I use custom query so there is not any checkbox available in the query like standard query. That's why my 1st question ask about "How to set the checkbox for every picture can selected when we click the picture?"

Not sure if this can be solved without custom code. Simply combining "DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT" with "applicable to multiple items" doesn't work for me. It only downloads one of the marked items.

I unfortunately don't have much time to make a proof of concept, but you could try this:

Try creating a process which copies the marked files to a certain folder on the server, like "C:\test\", I think you already used the correct command in your example (EXPORT DOCUMENT)

The next step would be to put the images in a zip file and then delete the images from C:\test. It would probably require the EXECUTE PROGRAM function combined with a CLI command for zipping (like 7zip).

Then you can use IMPORT DOCUMENT to a non-persistant BO and place your zip file there, delete the zip file from the server folder, and then call DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT to download it.

Never tried this but have you tried “PICK ONE OR MORE FROM” in your process, then create a second process with the DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT command which uses the BO containing the images for the process input.

It works differently to “Applicable to multiple items”

Hi Rocketman, thank you for your suggestion. I have tried "PICK ONE OR MORE FROM" feature but it doesn't work with "DOWNLOAD DOCUMENT" because only first image was marked downloaded (as Joben tried too)

Your idea are works, thank you Joben and more appreciate for your help.
I just think is it possible if the zip filename as timestamp like 20221013_135716.zip?
