Adding images to forms

Hi.

[newbie, so pls forgive if question stupid or phrased incorrectly].

I have a form and want to add simple .jpg images to it (e.g. picture of
animals in selection list). I know it can be done from ODK examples etc.

The only piece I don't get is how to actually upload these to ODK Aggregate
so they can be downloaded by users (to their phone's SD card from the look
of the address in examples)? Or can this not be done via ODK Aggregate? Do
they need a different mechanism to copy get it on to their SD Card?

Thanks for any help.

Hi.

Sorry - will answer my own (very stupid) question:

Use the "Optional Media Files" button to attach media files to the form.

Thanks,

Rob

And if you have a large number of images, the FormUploader app that runs on
your computer will handle uploading the form and its images; once you get
over about 20-100 images, the upload button on the website becomes tedious
(you have to upload the form and a hand-picked subset of the media files to
prevent ODK Aggregate requests from timing out on the server).
