- There was a discussion about workflow for images in web Drummer yesterday, and it got me thinking of how it should work, and I think I figured it out, at least for people who have Amazon accounts and know how to set up an S3 location. It's a good skill to have, and I wish Amazon made it easier, it shouldn't be anywhere near as hard as it is, esp if all you want to do is store small images there. But as they say it is what it is.#
- There are other answers possible, but mine is to use the PublicFolder app. I checked and it has a HTTP server built in, and therefore a simple interface can be created through a Drummer script, to get the last image you published and put it on the bar cursor headline as an image attribute. #
- This is how I do it on Electric Drummer except the PublicFolder functionality is baked in. There is a note in the blogging how to about how to set it up. It's only complicated because Amazon makes it so. Sorry. #
- Anyway, the bridge between PublicFolder and Drummer is not built yet. I have a bit of work to do to get PF current with the latest Electron stuff. But it's definitely on my todo list. #
