Image Property Settings
Use the following property settings to control image functionality in PTC FlexPLM.
Setting a Maximum Width for Image Columns
Use the following property setting to set a maximum width for image columns when exporting to Excel. When exported, the images are scaled appropriately to fit the specified column width
com.lcs.wc.client.web.ExcelGenerator.imageColumnWidth=<value>
The value of this property setting is the preferred width of the column, measured in units of 1/256 of a character. The acceptable range of values for this property setting is from 0 to 65535.
Exporting Images to Excel
To export thumbnails and table images to Excel, set the property to export to Excel rather than CSV. Enter the following property setting:
com.lcs.wc.client.web.CSVExcelGenerator.toggle=EXCEL
Controlling the Image Location Path
Use the following property setting to control the image location path. Administrators need to change the path when changing the urlContext from /Windchill to a different context.
flexPLM.windchill.ImageLocation=/Windchill/netmarkets/imagesflexPLM.windchill.ClientImageLocation=/Windchill/wt/clients/images
Controlling the Thumbnail Size in the Header
When you move your mouse over a thumbnail in the headers for pages such as BOMs, materials, and products, a larger image appears. This property defines the size of the larger image.
The default setting for this property is 400, which means that the larger image is 400 x 400.
jsp.image.StickyProductHeader.imageWidth=400
Controlling Thumbnail Image Folders and Sub-Folders
Thumbnail image files are stored in sub-folders when the maximum number of files have been stored in a folder. Administrators can control the number of files and folders with the following property settings.
Use the following property to determine the maximum number of files in each folder and sub-folder. The number must be between 10,000 and 200,000.
com.lcs.wc.content.imagefilePath.maxNumberOfFilesPerFolder=<number>
Use the following property to determine the maximum number of folders in each folder and sub-folder. The number must be between 1,000 and 10,000.
ccom.lcs.wc.content.imagefilePath.maxNumberOfFolders=<number>
Use the following property to determine the maximum number of folder levels in the folder structure. The number must be between 1 and 5.
com.lcs.wc.content.imagefilePath.numOfFolderLevels=<number>
* 
There is only one active folder in the system where thumbnail files are saved.
By default, files are saved to the folder with highest number. When that folder reaches the maximum, the system creates a folder with a new number. For example, when the 0001 folder is full, the system creates a folder called 0002.
If you delete a business object, the thumbnail is deleted from the file system. If you copy a business object, the thumbnail is duplicated and assigned to the copy.
Even if the number of files in an inactive folder falls below the set limits due to object deletions, that folder does not become the active folder where files are saved.
Files that were created in the images folder in previous releases are not relocated to a different folder.
The following business objects support thumbnails:
