Topic: iRecord downloads & image urls
In order to deal with iRecord records I've chosen the "download" method. That is to say I use the download option in iRecord, obtaining csv files in batches at intervals based upon dates that the records were uploaded. Then file import into Recorder where occurrences are more easily organised and verified plus I have the data on my desktop for research purposes. This method works well for a small recording scheme (~300 records per year).
The photographs posted on iRecord are a bit of a problem. The url paths are in the csv and I've chosen to put them into the Taxon comments field (single string for several urls - so Sources isn't an option).
It is possible to copy those urls in order to paste them and retrieve the picture from the interweb but it is rather awkward. The comments box on the Dets. tab of a taxon is 1.5 lines in height. Can this field be increased in height substantially (bear in mind it may have to contain several urls); there is space, the majority of the tab is allocated to redets - I doubt anyone would do that job 25 times (and even if they did, presumably that list would scroll.)
P.S. The images seem to come through with all the metadata stripped out - have I just been unlucky or is this an iRecord thing?
P.P.S. A Recorder 6 download option in iRecord would have been nice too
