pruus Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I would like to have the choice of making a link to an image from the local disk also from an internetsource, directory. Now it's not possible. I have a lot of images online. I would like te use a link to that source in data merge. So instead of C://images/2021 i would like to use https://mydatadisk.com/images/2021/march/water.jpg. So a xls-sheet looks like: In the cell 'Afbeelding' image, i entered a path to the file. Why can't it be an internetadress? So i wish you can make this possible. It would make APP zo much powerfull.

walt.farrell Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 In your image of the XLSX sheet you show a web address. In your text description you used https://mydatadisk/images/2021/march/water.jpg which looks like a file on a local server (mydatadisk) not something on the Internet. I just wanted to confirm which you are requesting.

pruus Posted April 14, 2021 Author Share Posted April 14, 2021 @walt.farrellon an internet location you can also have a directory structure. This is an example. Could also be: https://winterdress.com/area/2021/Lisa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Yes, I know that you can have a directory structure. However, your https://mydatadisk/images/2021/march/water.jpg is missing the domain suffix (.com, etc.) which makes the request a bit confusing, in my opinion. That's why I asked for clarification. It seems that you're trying to access a local disk via a web address.

Old Bruce Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 Further to Walt's replies I get a Can't find the server for the first link in the first post and a 404 for the second link in the second post So I think that you have made some basic mistake in the address which is why Publisher is not finding the images.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can use data merge for: local files, such as "c:/users/walt/documents/walt-for-dp.jpg" and for files on a local network drive, such as "\\\\MYCLOUDPR2100\\mobile-photos\\walt\\Chihuly at Meijer\\pict0720.jpg" But not for something like "https://cdn.serif.com/affinity/img/store/designer/card-220520191824@2x.jpg" which I know is a valid, viewable image on the web. So I believe there is no support for merging images from the web in the current data merge implementation.
