Here is the Python/GTK way to do this, for what it is worth:

from sugar.datastore import datastore ... #my_dsobject is of type datastore.DSObject #object_id is a datastore object my_dsobject = datastore.get(object_id)

    pixbufloader = gtk.gdk.pixbuf_loader_new_with_mime_type('image/png')
    #Access the 'preview' property
    #Note that the preview image is 300x225
    pixbufloader.write(dsobject.metadata['preview'])
    pixbufloader.close()
    pixbuf = pixbufloader.get_pixbuf()

Thanks. I got it working my self but there are quite a few of the previews that don't seem to work, and most criticaly photos from Record I can't get to work.

Hi, I'm testing out stuff in my JournalMorph but run into stuff I can't figure out.

I'm trying to view a png preview stored in a ByteArray but I don't get it to work. I make the ByteArray a RWBinaryOrTextStream but the PNGReadWriter formFromStream: aStream do not recognize the format.

I'm not sure how to proceed.

I also tried to write out a png to the Journal but that would not work either :-(
