ILEMAKER PRO FUNCTIONS REFERENCE 42
Notes
• The internalSize can be much smaller than the fileSize (for example, container
fields set up for open or secure storage, file references, or compressed files) or much larger
than the
fileSize (for example, container fields created by plug-ins).
• Using the attribute MD5 allows you to prevent the insertion of duplicated files into a
container field regardless of the filename.
• Bar codes and signatures are not considered images.
• For the group attributes general, audio, image, photo, and all, attributes are
displayed in the format
attributeName: attributeValue with one attribute per line.
Some attributes are displayed differently in order to fit the attribute on one line:
• externalFiles. Displays only the number of external files.
• transparency. Displays 1 (True) or 0 (False).
• coverArt. Displays png or jpg depending on the type of image.
• bitRate. Displays kbps after the number. If an audio uses a variable bit rate, (VBR) is
appended to the result. For example: Bit Rate: 247 kbps (VBR).
• year. Date information may be returned in parentheses after the year. For example:
Year: 2014 (11/10/2014).
