'On local or network drive'
Select this option and then you can use the Browse button to find a single
picture file on your
hard disk (on the C: drive, for example) or on a network drive if available.
'Image of website page'
This allows you to take a picture of a website page and use the same way as
a picture file. This is only available in some of our controls.
See Image of website page for more
information.
'Select Repeat Icon'
Use the 'Select icon wizard' button to choose out of 4000+ icons.
See Repeat Icons for more information.
'On a website' (Standard and above editions
ONLY)
The Browse button opens up a browser window to allow you to find a file on an
Internet website (or on a local network Intranet site). The file will
automatically be downloaded and put in your system
cache so that Repeat Signage can display it. The next time you load
this presentation, then Repeat Signage will check to see if there is a newer
version of your file. If there is then it will download the newer version
to the system cache and play it.
'RepeatServer.com'
RepeatServer.com is our free file hosting
service which allows picture and other files to be stored for playing by
Repeat Signage computers. Having your pictures at
RepeatServer.com means that if you send you
presentation to a computer at another location, then the Repeat Signage
software there will download and display your pictures automatically.
It also means that if you decide to update the pictures, then this makes
remote updating easy. For example, having a special offer image hosted
centrally with RepeatServer.com means that if
can be displayed in multiple locations, such as shop windows. When you
want to change the picture being displayed, then you just upload a new
version to RepeatServer.com and all the
computers update themselves.
'On an FTP site' or 'In a file on an FTP site' (Standard and above editions ONLY)
If you don't know what an FTP site is, then click here.
You will need to add a new FTP site to your presentation first. You will
need the following information:
Select 'On an FTP site' and use the Add button to enter this information on the
FTP site record page. After you click OK, then you can use the Browse
button to visit your FTP site and select a file to display. The file will
automatically be downloaded and put in your system
cache so that Repeat Signage can display it. The next time you load
this presentation, then Repeat Signage will check to see if there is a newer
version of your file. If there is then it will download the newer version
to the system cache and play it.
'In same folder as presentation'
This check box is only enabled if you have saved your presentation. Ticking this box means that when you use the browse button you will just look in the same folder as the presentation. This allows you to use relative paths (such as MyPicture.jpg) rather than absolute paths (such as c:\Pictures\MyPictures.jpg). See Using Repeat Signage with Dropbox.com for why you may want to use this option.
