Digital Workshop

Hi, I haven't been on here for 15 years. However, I still use Opus Pro, daily for simplifying computer tasks and for my various businesses.

I've created a publication where I would now like it to automatically fetch the last saved image in a directory and display it on the page within a frame or box. The directory will contain a new image every few minutes. I want the most recent image to update in the publication automatically.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance. Rock on Opus in 2020!

No.

If you know the image name then Opus can set an image dynamically using setImage() but there is nothing built-in to Opus that would allow it to read files in a directory or read the properties of those files to identify the most recent. Such a task would need to be handled by third-party tool (DLL, CMD, AutoIT) and the information read back into Opus for use with the command above.
