Description
Loads a picture file.
Please call GMImage.Release later to free memory for this image.
Image reference numbers are starting at 18000 and counting up for each new image.
If image doesn't load, please check whether it's a HEIC, HEIF or RAW image. For those, please use Container.ReadImage first to convert on macOS/iOS to PNG and then use GMImage.NewFromContainer function.
This function requires a native path. Use Path.FileMakerPathToNativePath to convert a FileMaker path to a native path if required. If you like to have the user choose the path, you can use FileDialog functions.
For Server be aware that server has limited permissions and may not be able to access all files on a computer.
