Host-Based Cache
The host-based cache is the cache the document uses when it executes host-based. The size of this cache is independent of
the document, and its size in PlanetPress Design is independent of its size in PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools. When you
execute the document host-based from within either product, the size of the cache depends on the setting in effect in that prod-
uct at execution time. In PlanetPress Design you use the Image cache option in the User Options dialog box to set the size of
this cache.
When the document executes host-based in either PlanetPress Design or PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools, it uses the host-
based cache for its image resources, and for the dynamic images it retrieves from the PlanetPress Design Suite virtual disk. It
never uses this cache for dynamic images it retrieves from a folder.
Printer-Based Cache
The printer-based cache is the cache the document uses when it executes printer-based. The size of this cache depends on the
document.
You use the Max form cache option in the Document dialog box to set the size of the printer cache. You can also use the Max
form item option to set the maximum size of any item in the cache.
When the document executes printer-based, it uses the printer-based cache for both image resources and external images
any dynamic images reference.
Adding Image Resources
Image resources are added differently depending on their location.
Network images are simply placed in the correct location using your operating system or any process you may have to
create, move and copy images on your computer or network. They are accessed using their full path in a PlanetPress Talk
expression (see "Dynamic Images" (page 209))
Printer images are sent to your printer using either one of the following tools:
l "The Image Downloader" (page 641) is used to send images to one or more printer or PlanetPress Suite virtual drive.
l The Send Images to Printer and Download to Printer plugins in PlanetPress Workflow Tools can be used to send images
to one or more printer or PlanetPress Suite virtual drive.
Internal images are imported in your PlanetPress Design document using one of the following methods:
l In the PlanetPress Design Ribbon, go to the Home tab then click Picture Resource in the Document group.
Browse to the folder where the image is located, then select one or more images to import as resources.
l Copy the image file to your clipboard using CTRL+Cin Windows Explorer. Then in PlanetPress Design, click on Pic-
ture Resources in the Document Structure Pane and use CTRL+Vto paste the image as a picture resource.
l Select a single image in Windows Explorer then drag &drop it to the Workspace. This imports the picture resource
and also creates a picture object and associates it to the new picture resource.
l Select multiple images in Windows Explorer then drag &drop them either in the Workspace or in the picture
resources folder of the Document Structure Pane.
Once the picture resource is added to the document, a link is maintained with the original file on your operating system. As
long as your PlanetPress Design document remains on the same computer and the original image is in the same location, if the
original image is modified a dialog will be displayed in PlanetPress Design asking if you want to update the image instances in
PlanetPress Design.
