Hi,
I'd like to use Reflecto to expose an asset repository of images, flash
graphics and so on. This will be managed outside Plone (obviously), but I
want to be able to incorporate content into Plone pages using kupu.
I added Reflector and ReflectoFolder as kupu collections and ReflectoFile as
a media object. This actually seems to work OK - I can browse and include
the images. However:
- I don't get a preview image in kupu
- There's no resize option (this would be hard anyway, I'm guessing)
I think that if Reflecto exposed a unique type for images (e.g. it looked at
file extensions) it could have an image preview in the template, and we
could set this up as a mediaobject type in kupu with a preview URL, and
maybe even do some on-the-fly resizing (possibly less important).
How hard would this be to do? Looking at the Reflecto source, I see
__getitem__() in content/directory.py; seems to me that if we created a
different proxy class and allowed for some pattern matching where it
currently just checks for directory vs. file, then this could work?

This sounds sensible. I'd have thought that preview comes for free once
you implement on-the-fly resizing, presumably by just stealing the logic
from ATImage.
