Uploading images to SQL, Dataverse and SharePoint - stop down sizing

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 375

Anyone here know how to change the image upload/save settings for Dataverse & SharePoint?

 

I have an existing PowerApp that enables a user to upload images (image files, png, jpg, etc.). 

These are stored to an (Azure) SQL database table and the image is returned the same size as it's uploaded - which is what I need. 

(For example, 1024x768 uploaded returns 1024x768 when displayed in the app.)

 

However, I now need to replicate the same ability with a new app but save the images to either Dataverse or a SharePoint list.

 

If loaded to Dataverse (using the image column type) the size returned is always 144wx144h regardless to the original image size.

 

If loaded to a SharePoint list (using the image column type) the size initially returned is 96w with a proportional height to the uploaded image related to the 96w. On refresh/reselect the image width is always 400 with a proportional height.

 

The CalculateOriginalDimensions is set to true and I'm using Image.OriginalWidth and Image.OriginalHeight to return the saved image sizes.

 

Apart from the obvious resizing issue the quality of the uploaded images saved to Dataverse and SharePoint are also downgraded - displaying them the size I need makes them fuzzy due to scaling up. 

 

How do I get Dataverse and SharePoint to save uploaded images exactly as the source image file?

Everything works as it should in SQL so there must be settings somewhere in Dataverse and SharePoint that interfere with the image during the upload/save process.

 

I'm now at an impasse with building the new app so a solution is needed quickly.

 

Thanks in advance.

    With Dataverse, it sounds like you're retrieving the thumbnail if you're seeing images that are 144w x144h.

    Are you referencing the 'full' property to retrieve the full image?

    Hi @timl 

    Many thanks, totally missed the additional "full" property - same applies to SharePoint as well.

    It totally threw me with SQL returning the full image size without any extra properties required.

     

    Thanks
