LongRange Developer Forum

Hi,

In case the image element is set with the following properties:
AllowChange:Yes
BlankImageResource:Portrait_Photo.png
Annotation.InPlaceEdit : True
Annotation.MergeWithImage : True

If you take no picture but write comment(annotation) only and try to save it, you can save the annotation merged with blank image.

Is there any way to avoid this? We would not like to save anything in that case(no pic but annotation done).

I appreciate your kind advice.

Best Regards,
Megumi Sawada

Could you please change BlankImageResource to Resource see if it works as expected? Thanks

Hi Jason,

Thank you for your reply.
I tried it but the result is not as expected.
The background image merged with annotation will be saved.

We would not like to save anything if no photo is taken.
Is there any way to achieve it?

Hi Megumi,

Are you using Android? I just tested on Android and see the annotation will merge with blank image.

If yes, we will make an enhancement for it. Could you please lodge an request to LANSA Support?

Thanks
Jason

Hi Jason,

No, Windows app.

What I mean is that if LongRange can detect if only annotation is done without taking a photo.
If no photo is taken but annotation is done, we would like to detect it and we would like to avoid saving it to IFS directory.
Is it possible to do that?

Hi Megumi,

We will make an enhancement for Windows version so that the annotation won't merge with blank image.

So when specifies BlankImageResource property and MergeWithImage property is True, the expected behavior will be:

• No picture taken - only save annotation

• Picture is taken - merge annotation with picture and save

Does this sound ok for you?

Thanks
Jason
