I want to do the following:
-place Photoshop and/or Tiff files in a database as a blob
-let Servoy generate thumbnails (JPG) on-the-fly in a form on request
What i don’t want:
-storing 1 Photoshop file and 1 pre-made thumbnail in the database (becoz these files will be changed a lot)
Is there a bean for these kind of operations??
Many thankx in advance
This is probably not a good idea because to generate the preview on the fly the Photoshop file (with a size of many MB) has to travel trought the network to Servoy Client.
Imagine many clients doing the same thing → your network will be pretty busy!
A better strategy would be to generate a new preview of the Photoshop image (on-the-fly) every time the image is uploaded.
(I know you said that’s not what you want)
I can live with that…
Just as long the thumbnailing is done by Servoy and its bean…
Maybe I expressed myself wrong…
what i dont want is a client saving a Photoshop file into the database and then make a thumbnail with Photoshop and save the thumbnail into the database…
servoy has a built in thumbnailer.
do a search on the forum and you’ll find loads of references.

If you mean elements.a116.getThumbnailJPGImage()
This makes a thumbnail of a jpg or icon into a jpg thumbnail.
I need to make a thumbnail off Photoshop (.psd) file and a tiff-file.
If I search the forum on Photoshop or tif…I don’t find my problem…
Also I have been looking for beans…but no luck yet…I’ll keep on searching
