Tech Tip: Converting to project mode replaces picture library with image files in Resources folder
PRODUCT: 4D | VERSION: 18 | PLATFORM: Mac & Win
Published On: April 19, 2021

When converting a binary database to project mode, one thing to note is that there no longer exists a picture library. Instead, all the picture library images will be converted to actual files now located under the root project directory under the resources folder.

This change can be important when taking into consideration commands such as GET PICTURE FROM LIBRARY will no longer return any value. Instead, it is recommended to use READ PICTURE FILE which will take the picture path as its argument. Make sure to consider these changes prior to converting to project mode.
