I have a bunch of pix that I want to display, which are not in the uploads directory of the application. My options appear to be:
- copy them to the static folder (or a subfolder) and have URL() work for them - set up streamio on each so I can read them from an arbitrary filesystem location - store them as a blob in the database Is there another option? If there was just a handful, relatively stable over time, the static option would seem a good idea (because it would be simple to do). But I took more than 20 shots yesterday (starting with spring hillsides, and then trying to capture birds in flight), and that was just one outing (limited by the memory card). Taking down those pictures before putting up the next set also seems "un-static". The blob option might be good, but not until I set up a real DB engine (I'm not a DB admin) or use mlabs. Meanwhile, I'm still on sqlite. Also, I might want to look into how to cache the images (not because there will be heavy use, but because this might be a good application to use for the learning experience).
