There isn't a way to do that, and accessing attachments directly as files is discouraged. There are future changes to Couchbase Lite that would either make it never work (i.e. if your database is encrypted), or just sometimes not work (i.e. if we optimize by storing small attachments inline in the database, or if we download attachments from the server on demand.) The only reason there's any API to get the path to an attachment file is because there are APIs in iOS/OS X — like AVFoundation — that only take paths as input, not NSData or NSStreams, so giving out the path was the only way to make attachments useable with those APIs. —Jens -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
