After working with Servoy for a few months and realizing that my JPG and PDF files can be stored in the database, I have decided that the 3 most important functions I need in a file manipulation plug-in are:
- Ability to obtain a series of file names from a specified directory
- Ability to delete files when the path is specified
- Ability to launch a PDF file (stored in the database) for the purpose of display and or printing. Ideally I would like it to open in Acrobat Reader.
With these functions and those already available in Servoy one could get the files from a specified directory, write them to the backend database, retrieve them, for print or display.
Will these 3 functions be built into a file manipulation plug-in? PDF plug-in?
