My client was interested in being able to store large files in their image assets database and have anyone on staff be able to export a smaller version for the web or print without having to fire up Photoshop. The obvious benefit was to keep the database file size down and the image size consistent in the container field. DB Services’ approach was to resize the file as it was being imported, employing an auto-enter calculation. I read an article by DB Services on using the GetThumbnail function in FileMaker to resize images in a container field. FileMaker Pro 12 has its share of amazing marquee features, (Insert from URL, ExecuteSQL etc), but the humble GetThumbnail function didn’t cross my radar screen until recently. Goes to the Customer Info layout, positions the window in the top-left corner of the FileMaker Pro window (Windows) or the top-left corner of the screen (macOS), and resizes the window.Sometimes it is the little things in an upgrade that take a while to percolate through to real world applications.
macOS: This script step has no effect on a full-screen window, and returns an error code. Any portion of a card that extends past the right or bottom edge of the browser window is clipped. 
make sure that a card’s size doesn’t exceed that of the browser window it will be displayed in. a card’s top and left position values will not be negative if they aren’t specified. if a card is larger than the browser window size, the top and left position values will be set to (0, 0). if a card is larger than the screen size, the top position value will be set to 0. a card’s height and width can’t exceed the screen size. this script step is supported only for cards. In FileMaker Go and FileMaker WebDirect:. In FileMaker Pro, you can move a window offscreen by supplying negative top, left, or both values, which can be useful for multiple-monitor environments. If the height or width values you specify are greater than the maximum, FileMaker Pro uses the maximum value possible. Maximum window height and width depend on the script user’s screen resolution. If the height and width values you specify are less than the minimum, FileMaker Pro uses the minimum values. Minimum window height and width depend on the script user’s operating system. When no value is entered, FileMaker Pro uses the original location and size of the window as default values. 
It is not necessary to enter values for each option. Selection by window name is not case-sensitive. 
The adjusted window maintains the same layout, same table, same found set, and same current record as the original window.
