Images and Movie names

Images and Movie names and selections.

Your photos (images) can be retrieved from anywhere on your hard drive or even a network drive. Once you have selected a image My ICE Plan will create a copy of that image in the folder you have installed My ICE Plan

My ICE Plan will also rename that copied file and give it a ID number. Example: you are listing in the inventory a item name of Sofa . You select a image file of that sofa called picture001.jpg from a folder on you hard drive. Once you save that item record My ICE Plan will copy the image and then rename it with the Item name and Item ID (record number) of the item you just saved. If that was the 6th record then the filename would become Sofa- ImageID-6.jpg . This would also be the image that would be printed on any reports.

More Images Tab will allow you to enter unlimited images of a item. Select the More Images tab and from there you can add more images of an item such as different angles or even scanned copies of documents such as receipts or warranties. My ICE Plan will accept file formats of *.jpg, *.gif, *.bmp, *.wmf, *.pcx

For each image added in the More Images tab - My ICE Plan will copy and rename those images as mentioned above but will add another number to the original Image ID Example: as above your first image for your item called sofa was Sofa-ImageID-6.jpg, the next one will be Sofa-ImageID-6-x (x being a new number) .jpg (example sofa-ImageID6-3) this will also show in your Windows explorer when viewing the image folder as such. Meaning when you browse the actual folder where ICE is storing the images and movies, each item and movie will display with the name of the item or location in the filename. This makes finding your images later easy because it is listed and named properly and not with some filename that means nothing when looking at only the filename of a image or movie.

When Archiving all images and movies are moved from the Images and Movies folder and renamed with ARC-filename as in example of Arc-Dishes-ItemID-7.jpg. These files are place in the folders called Archived Images and Archived Movies.
