Download Image from Gallery

Hello,

I was wondering if it would be possible to add a download button into my gallery for each item, then when the button is selected it would download the Image from that Item.

I'm using dataverse, and the column is Image type.

Another alternative is I have a search text box and some combo boxes which filter and narrow down the items displayed. Would it also be possible to have a download all button, which then downloads all the images from the items that currently appear in the gallery.

A third alternative is a check box is ticked in each item, then the download button only downloads the images from the items that have been checked.

Thanks,

Josh

Hello @Jap11,

Yes, this is possible. Since your images are stored in Dataverse, you can add a Download button in the gallery and use the Download() function with the Dataverse Web API URL.

Your OnSelect of Download Icon could look something like this:

Download("https://<environmentURL>/api/data/v9.2/<table_name>(" & ThisItem.<recordID> & ")/<image_column>/$value")

When the user clicks the button, the image will download from that record.

Hi @Jap11,

Yes, it is possible to download an image stored in a Dataverse Image column from a Canvas App using Download() function in Power Apps.

example: Add a button and set its OnSelect property:

Download( "https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com/Image/download.aspx?Entity=account&Attribute=crc2a_image&Id=" & ThisItem.accountid )

What this does

Entity → the logical name of the Dataverse table

Attribute → the logical name of the Image column

Id → the GUID of the record that contains the image

When the button is clicked, the app opens the Dataverse image endpoint and the image loads in the browser, allowing the user to download it.

Microsoft documentation:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/developer/data-platform/image-column-data

I hope this works for you!

Hi @DP_Prabh - thanks for you reply, this seems like it will be the easiest solution however I'm having some issues.

I have my org URL, but I'm not certain I'm using the correct Entity, Attribute and ID.

For Entity, would it be 'Test_Table' or cr6d3_testtable ?

Same for Attribute, would it be 'Image of Item' or cr6d3_imageofitem ?

Then finally for the ID, GUID of the record that contains the item, how do i get this?

This seems the only logical option when i type in

I end up with this error anyway at the moment

Thanks!

Hi @Jap11,

Dataverse uses the logical names, not the display names.

Entity: Use the logical name of the table, so in your case it should be:
cr6d3_testtable (not Test_Table)

Attribute: Same rule applies to the image column — use the logical name:
cr6d3_imageofitem (not Image of Item)

Record ID (GUID)
This should be the primary key of the record that contains the image. In a Canvas App you can usually access it directly from the gallery/form record. For example:

ThisItem.cr6d3_testtableid

So the full example would look something like:

Download( "https://yourorg.crm.dynamics.com/Image/download.aspx?Entity=cr6d3_testtable&Attribute=cr6d3_imageofitem&Id=" & ThisItem.cr6d3_testtableid )

I hope this works!

If you're still getting an error, share the complete code and error message that would help in resolving the error.
