STORING IMAGE IN FILE SYSTEM, build 8.1 2477
When I create a new BO, I need a user to fill in 4 images.
I'm using Mobile (but thats not the issue) - point is, don't try and change what I'm doing - same thing happens on desktop.
When I create the parent record, I'm creating 6 records in a child table.
I pre-name the images "front, rear, left, right" so the user knows which image to put into each record - its to prompt him.
You can see the default image thats assigned here:
Each record points to that "tap here.png" physical file.
PROBLEM IS that when I tap on the thumbnail and it goes to the Edit form where I can Select a File to upload, Aware DELETES the "tap here.png" file and then uploads the user's image - a RULE kicks in to MAKE DIRECTORY if its not found, and set the path to store this uploaded doc.
Obviously, I can't have my default image disappear.
At create time, instead of setting an Initial value to point to my 'tap here' file, I guess I could copy that 6 times into the images directory for this Parent, but that seems overkill - its only a 2k file though so it wouldn't be that terrible.
Am I missing something with the way Aware handle's these images?
Is there another strategy to point to a common image file and not have it be deleted?
thx

PS _ here's a completed image on a phone screen with 6 images uploaded.
