Saving captured image to excel file

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 6

I have used the "Site Inspection Template" to create a powerapp.  I connected to my excel spreadsheet and all is okay.  However the location of the camera photos is: /Library/Caches/powerAppsTemp in my excel file.  As soon as I close the powerapp they disappear.    I am not sure where to go from here.  Any help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Janice

    Hi Janice,

     

    Thank you for reporting this issue and I apologize for any inconvenience.  I have reproduced this issue on iOS and opened a ticket with the product team to address it.

    Hi Janice,

    Has this issue been resolved yet? I seem to have the same symptoms as she had back in August.

    thank you for an update.

    This issue has been fixed in the latest iOS release (2.0.540).

    Sorry you're still seeing this issue. Where is you Excel spreadsheet located? (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc). This will help us narrow down the issue you're seeing. Thanks!

    I am storing my file in OneDrive

     

    I have a folder called CameraTest

    and in that folder I have my excel file template that looks like this (notice the last one is missing the jpg suffix), I deleted the rows with /Library/Caches/PowerAppsTeam because there is no corresponding photo in the photos folder for those.

     

     

    listoflinks.PNG

     

    Through the magic of the camera it also created a folder within that container called

    PhotoLinks_images

    The inside of that folder looks like this:

     

    photos.PNG

     

    The Patch statement:

    Patch(ImageTable,Defaults(ImageTable),
    {Image:MyCamera.Photo,Tag: DataCardValue1.Text});SubmitForm(EditForm1)
