Hi All

I have specifically problem with exporting picture’s attributes. I got them on Excel CSV file as numbers instead of pictures. What I need to do in order to be able to view the exported pictures?
On the other hand, how I can import pictures correctly?

Thak you,

I am not sure I understand the question, but check out the EXPORT and IMPORT actions in the Rule Language

Thank you for the reply first.
Simply when I export an object that has a picture attibute to CSV file I get instead of the picture the following:

No picture displayed just the code above, even in print view I got no picture.

Yes, this is to be expected. The CSV format does not support pictures, therefore all pictures are represented in a binary format, where each byte is represented as text. Obviously, if you want to see a picture you need to convert the text to a proper binary representation. Aware IM does it automatically if you import such CSV back into Aware IM
