This sounds like a candidate for a Tryton client plugin. I'm no expert on the Tryton client. However, having looked at the crypto[1] and translation[2] client plugins, I think there are a few options you can explore towards a solution. The simplest thing I can think of is a client plugin that fetches the latest photo from a folder and applies it to the field. You could then configure the photo-taking app to save the photos in a sequence in a specific folder. It could even be a temp folder since you won't need the photo after the model has been saved. Going further, you could make a plugin that invokes the appropriate libraries, processes and GTK windows to show the camera output and take the photo. Quite interesting I say. -- MM [1] http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/health/file/199b5640c250/tryton/backend/plugins/crypto/__init__.py [2] http://hg.tryton.org/tryton/file/e720786195ec/tryton/plugins/translation/__init__.py > > -- > With Best Regards, > > Py Solutions > http://pysolutions.com > > Prakhar Bansal | Founder > Email: bansal.prak...@gmail.com > Mobile: +91-8800 821 089 > Skype: bansal.prakhar > > FacebookTwitterLinkedIn >
