Embedded Images

We added a new feature this week. ExportReports.com will now embed any images in your project in the exported pdf.

Supported formats include:

• bmp
• gif
• jfif
• jpeg
• jpg
• png
• pnm
• raw
• tif
• tiff
• wbmp

There seem to be two sorts of images in Basecamp, those associated with a comment, and those that are just associated with the project. Those that are associated with a comment will appear inline with the comment. Those that are associated with just the project will appear all together at the end of the report.

It's a little experiment with expanding our features outside of what is enabled by the Basecamp API. We chose to go with images, as they fit neatly within our existing document flow, and tend to be of a predictable, reasonable size. Archiving more of your project is something we'd like to explore, but we have to be careful, as some users can have 50GB's of storage, and we're not in the position to handle that just yet.

We've been getting a few requests for this feature, so I hope you all like it.
