If you're using a Mac, you may consider getting DEVONthink Pro for it. It does far more than you can imagine and has a built-in web interface. It also "clips" from web pages and other documents to make it easy to document projects. I use it to collect notes for web2py stuff. Everything is searchable with boolean operators, neighborhood, and much more. I can't praise the product enough.
Or you can do your own, for the fun. -- Joe On Wednesday, August 20, 2014 1:03:39 PM UTC-7, Gary Cowell wrote: > > Hi > > I'm writing a web app for my home server to allow me to scan and store > images of official correspondence, so I can shred the paper and recycle it. > A document archive. > > I have the scanner components written [using pyinsane] > > I have an idea of the models required, tables to hold the sender, date, > page number, header ref, header date, received date etc. > > What I want to know is how best to handle the scanning and image storing. > > I don't really [I don't think] want to store the images in the database, > be that sqlite or pgsql [or do I?] > > At the moment my python scanner scans the image, and stores it in a > directory which is a NFS mount on my NAS. > > My web2py application would have to read this image and present it for > confirmation, checking before storing the index entry, and the path to the > image into the database. > > So, firstly, how best to present the scanned image to the user for > acceptance, can I do this from an arbitrary location [guessing not], I do > have a PIL image in memory, so can I present that in web2py, if I can't > link an IMG= to the arbitrary disk location > > Sorry if my questions sound vague, I'm just getting to grips with web2py [ > used it a whole 3 days! ] > > Thanks for any pointers.
