Hi, Given that I may have thousands of document attachments, does it make sense to store them as regular attachments in CouchBaseLite on iOS so they end up in the attachments folder next to the database? It could be a ton of files for a single folder to manage.
It would be difficult for a customer to be able to go to the Finder and find a file they wanted without navigating to it via the application. I know a lot of users just really like to have their files easily reachable in the Finder. Also, what do you do about aliases to files? Do they still work with CBL? Can an attachment point to a file elsewhere on the disk in the Mac version? Also, in my Mac app I have a "Show in Finder" button which takes the user directly to the file attachment. Currently with CBL this would just show them a .blob file I believe. I guess the only real way to handle that properly would be to have an Export function instead which would copy the file attachment out to a location of the user's choosing. It would be nice to know what other users are doing to handle attachments. It would at least be nice to be able to specify sub-folders of the attachments folders so you could store attachments of different types in different folders. I like organization :-) Thanks, Brendan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Couchbase Mobile" group.
