I wrote a simple form to upload images to the server, and I would like to create thumbnails for them automatically.<br><br>The way I ended up doing it is as follows:<br><br>saveEntry<br> | aForm newForm |<br> <br> " add original file under name blahblahPng or whatever the image type is "<br> UGFileLibrary addFileNamed: title,'Png' contents: uploadedFile contents.<br><br> aForm := (PNGReadWriter createAFormFrom: uploadedFile contents) first.<br> <br> " create thumbnail and save under name blahblahThumbPng "<br> newForm := aForm scaledToSize: (Point x: 50 y: 50).<br><br> " what I would have liked to do here is add the thumbnail to the file library "<br><br> " add item to art section "<br> UGArt addImage: (<br> (UGArtItem<br> title: title path: title,'Png') artist: self session user; imageForm: aForm; thumbForm: newForm; yourself<br> ).<br><br>As you can see, I ended up using WAImageTag #form: rather than a url from the file library (or server directory, preferably). So what I would like to know are two things:<br><br>1) Forms are big? So throwing them around is cumbersome?<br>2) Is there a way to convert a Form back to a PNG without the whole mime thing?<br><br>Thanks!<br>RS<br> <br /><hr />Hotmail: Free, trusted and rich email service. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/GBL/go/196390708/direct/01/' target='_new'>Get it now.</a></body>
