Emailing files

[robz]

I recently logged about 5 files and want to email them, more specifically the graphs under the dashboard tab. I was only able to send a spreadsheet excel file with no graphs. How can I send the graphs also?
Thanks

Use the "Print" function key from Windows, then paste in Windows "Paint" program and save ...

[robz]

So I hit the print icon and widows pulls up and do I then hit the icon for export a report to a series of images? Then where do I find windows PAINT program?

Get whatever display you want to save as a gfx file on screen, then press the Print button. The "Paint" program is under the Windows accessories (don't know what the menu is called in the english Windows version) ... should be installed by default ...

Rob,

This may help: showthread.php?t=3064 (http://forum.efilive.com/showthread.php?t=3064)

The Windows Paint program can be found either way:
Start->Run and type in MSPaint and press Enter
Start->All Programs->Accesories->Paint

Cheers
Joe

Paint will work but it creates huge files.

Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) works better, creates smaller files.

There are other programs.

Edit: Irfanview allows you to save images as .png files.

Another point...

The various image hosting sites allow you to create a free account that you can host images on, provided that it is for non-commercial use, and that you don't mind seeing ads displayed when you browse your hosting acount.

By creating an account, you can keep track and manage your hosted images.

If you don't mind small images, Go Advanced, then Manage Attachments, then Browse for the file and Upload; when finished do Close This Window, and submit the post.

thanks. Can the images be interactive also. likr the graphs of just stills.I think animated gifs will work, but those are just a sequence of stills.

So the answer is just stills.

Oh, Rob, if you only want to post the actual logged data .efi file, zip the (copy it to a newly created compressed (.zip) folder), and then see post #8.
