Storing versioned images in Store
 
|
Smalltalkers,
Somewhere along the line, I remember seeing that
non-Smalltalk stuff like images and audio files could be stored, with
versioning, in Store, but I couldn't find anything in the VW 7.4 Store document
about this. If it is possible, can someone point me to other
documentation, along with info on how to reference such info in Store (possibly
in an HTML img tag). If it is not possible, what are other people
doing?

It's possible, but there's no tool interface (yet). The release notes
cover how to do it At 11:16 AM 1/17/2006, you wrote: >Smalltalkers, > >Somewhere along the line, I remember seeing that non-Smalltalk stuff like >images and audio files could be stored, with versioning, in Store, but I >couldn't find anything in the VW 7.4 Store document about this.

which is weird since adding an interface should basically amount to
popping a Dialog file request, behind a button on the Publish dialog. A while back I used the following snippet which I found along with some of my workspace files. It may be exactly what is in the docs. workspace snippet: bundle := Store.Registry bundleNamed: 'OCIT - Dev Preferences'. file := Dialog requestFileName: 'Which file?'. bundle addFile: file ---------------------- also it seems that one can only associate files to bundles. Also note you may want to not provide the full absolute path as is illustrated above. In general a relative path would be the way, this was just expedient for what I needed to do at the time. hth, -Charles On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 11:19:25 -0500, James Robertson <[hidden email]> wrote: > It's possible, but there's no tool interface (yet).

From a quick reading of bundle #addFile: and the methods it uses, it appears
that only a reference to the file's name is kept in Store, and not the contents of the file. Am I right about this? Rich ----- Original Message ----- From: "Charles A.

The file is stored. The nasty thing is that it doesn't create paths as
required - so you have to know about the file paths that it wants to use. You can test this by loading the bundle SiltSSPFiles (public Store). Create this directory structure first: source css images and then load the bundle. You should see all the ssp/css files used by the blog server.

In reply to this post by Rich Demers
incorrect,
the contents of the file are definitely stored in StORE , no pundle intended :) , okay that's pretty corny but in the mood today, the file contents are stored as binary i.e. BLOB, for one I know because I have tried it and have pointed to the same repository from different boxes and it will download the file, again it will try to recreate the file on the path it stored so full paths are generally not good. -Charles On Tue, 17 Jan 2006 14:05:28 -0500, Rich Demers <[hidden email]> wrote: >> From a quick reading of bundle #addFile: and the methods it uses, it >> appears > that only a reference to the file's name is kept in Store, and not the > contents of the file.
