Updating Image Definitions

Occasionally, the original image file from which you created an image definition might change. To keep the image definitions current, you might want to update them rather than create entirely new image definitions.

To update an image definition:

1. To change the image for a saved image definition, right-click the open definition and select Update Image.

   The Open Image File dialog box appears, in which you can select the changed image file to replace the open image definition.

2. Click Open.

   The previous image in the image definition is replaced with the new image that you selected.

3. Select File > Save to save the current image definition with the new image.

If an image file is smaller than you want it to appear in the open image definition, you can increase the size by zooming in on the definition workspace. The size of the image in the image catalog does not change.

To change an image definition display size:

1. Open the image.

2. Right-click the image and select Zoom to see the different size ratios.

3. Select a new image display percentage.

   The image automatically changes to that selection.

You can specify a default format in which image definitions are stored. For example, if JPG is specified as the preferred storage format, then a BMP image is stored as a JPG after it is converted to an image definition.

To specify an image definition storage format:

1. Select Tools > Options to open the Options dialog box.

2. Select the Image tab.

   Field or Control	Definition
   No conversion	Select to import all image definitions in their original formats. This value is the default.
   DIB and JPG	Select to convert and store the imported image definitions as either DIB or JPG in the PeopleSoft Application Designer image catalog. GIF and WBMP images cannot be converted to DIB or JPG.

3. Click the OK button.
