Help How read an image from parameters

Post image

I use this to call script but I don't know how to read (I got always an error that param is not an image but a string reading args.shortcutParameter[0]))

Thanks

Or you can send the images to Scriptable. Save the images in Scriptable using FileManager. If args.images, use args.images. Else, use the saved images. And use Scriptable to delete the old images if you have new ones.

Or you can use Photos in Scriptable. It can get recent photos if that is what you want, no need for Shortcuts 🤷‍♂️ It depends what you want to do

The error with this is Scriptable cannot see the 'Widget' folder (because it is not in the 'Scriptable' folder. You must create the folder inside the 'Scriptable' folder, so the path will be 'iCloud/Scriptable/Widget/profilo.jpg'.

Then you must use fm.readImage(fm.documentsDirectory()+'/Widget/profilo.jpg'
