Dynamically display refreshing images

Hello,

I have an image in a folder, and the image sometimes might be refreshed by a program running on the computer.

How can I display the image in qlikview in a dynamic way?  i.e: when the program refreshes the image, is it possible to see the change in qlikview in real time?

I have found an article by Rob Wunderlich called "using the google chart api inside qlikview", but I cannot tell if it contains the correct answer. I have tried implementing what it says but it's not working, plus the link for the qvw file download seems not be working.


Thank you!

Hi Giulio,

You can load the images into the Qlikivew dashboard.

Please see Load images into Script

Hi Giulio,

What scheme (filename, file://, http, etc) are you using to reference the files?  I tested this and can't find a way for the images to automatically update unless you use an http link.

At the moment I am working on an example using the filename path (C:\blablabla\Documents\etcetera...).

In the future, maybe, I could use an http scheme.

In this case, images would be refreshed everytime I reload the script. But what I want is qlikview to automatically refresh the images, without the need of reloading the script.
