Tech Tip: Mac screen shot creates unsupported PICT file 4D to use
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 15.2 | PLATFORM: Mac
Published On: January 9, 2017
In v15, pictures that are of PICT format are not supported. In a case where screen shots are taken from the Mac OS, by using shortcut (shift+command+3), they are copied to the clipboard as type PICT.
Pasting screenshots from the Mac can cause undesirable results. One result is the inability to print.
It is recommended to convert that picture type to someting compatible. This can be done using the CONVERT PICTURE command to a JPEG format:
| CONVERT PICTURE($pictureToConvert;".jpg") |
A link below explains the proper procedure in handling PICT files in v15 as well as the command.
