Trouble with image/camera support on iOS

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I'm trying out the Image column type for my model-driven app. I want to be able to submit a photo from my tablet (in this case an iPad). However I'm facing two issues:
1. The image is severely compressed when uploaded. Is there a way to control the image quality? Max size is set quite high.

2. When I want to view the image again on the iPad and I press on the "Open"-button it will just open a dialog box saying "Opening image on device." - the full image is never shown.

Hi @Anonymous ,

Where are you storing the photos - we have done about 40k photos in the last year or so on iPads and use SharePoint Libraries. I have a blog on the process with the various options if this is useful to you.

Hi @WarrenBelz

Thanks for the link but I guess it is very specific to canvas apps right? We are using a model-driven and just the out-of-the-box options (image column, unified interface etc.) to store the images in Dataverse.

Yes, Canvas apps and SharePoint. Sometimes the simple things work best . . .

I came across https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Dataverse/Dataverse-to-store-images-from-PowerApps/td-p/816608 and I learned about the setting in the app. However it still compresses the image to a noticeable degree.
Still not sure why the 'Open' button doesn't work.

@Anonymous ,

Sorry, cannot assist you on this - Libraries store the photos in their native format (jpg), so viewing is not an issue.
