Endless Picture Sliders
One of the fun aspects of working with FileMaker, or any other programming environment, is coming up with creative solutions to using the provided tools.
In this case, it's FileMaker 13's new sliders which provide some really cool functionality. When paired with Get ( TriggerTargetPanel ) you can simply use the Slider control for the purpose of capturing a swipe on a mobile device.
When you combine this knowledge with desired features, such as showing a (theoretically) endless number of pictures, you arrive at a solution which can be used in more places than just the one you've figured out.
If your solution is going to end up with mobile features and you want to use the Slider control for capturing swipes this video will have the information you need.
If you simply want a compact way to present multiple pictures we've got that covered too!

Brilliant!
Matt - this is a brilliant video and demo file, thanks!
Just one quirk that needs catching - if you delete the first picture in the 'gallery' then you need to reset the ID_PICTURE field as you do when you load the record, otherwise currently the ID_Picture field is set to blank after the delete.
Anyhow - great technique!
