Exporting Images

When images are stored in the database it may be desirable to export them to files for some other purpose.  To do this, select File, Database Management, Export Images.   You must be logged in with Supervisor or Master access to use the feature.  A dialog like this will appear:

You can choose whether to export just the images for the current badge, or all images for all badges.  You can also enter or browse for the destination for the exported files.

When you click OK the exporting will start.  If you have a lot of image files to export, or have a slow computer or connection to the database, then a progress dialog will display to indicate the operation status.

The images for each badge are stored in a folder within the destination folder.  The folder name is the Datakey for each person's record.  You can discover a person's Datakey by finding their badge and then clicking on the  toolbar icon.  The dialog will show the Datakey value.

All photographs are exported as JPG files.  The fingerprints are exported into PNG files to preserve their quality.  Signature files are exported in a proprietary format.
