The matching worked only up to the folder level, excluding the image file name, in this case minifigure-01165-01.psd. The problem is that although the field “path” or my “path_corrected” shows that whole path, including the file name, file://hardDisk/Users/bartneck/Documents/photos/minifigure-01165/minifigure-01165-01.psd If, for example, I had four images in a sub folder, then all those four images would receive data from only the last image in the folder. What happened during the import was very confusing at first. In theory, you could import the folder that contains all the PSD images and select “import matching records” and use the path_correct field as the matching field. You can also get the path by using the GetAsText function on the image container. I created a new field called “path_correct” in which I substituted “jpg” with “psd” from the image path field to get an accurate match with the PSD files. For each image I had meta information that I did not want to loose.

The images were in JPG and now I wanted to replace them with PSD versions that were located at the exact same location on the hard disk. In my database, I had several thousand images as links to the original files. I wasted a whole week on a Filemaker problem when trying to re-import images.
