Hi The LocalFile class has a method "getObject" that returns the Zope object representing the local file. If the local file it is an image, then getObject will return an Image object. So in your code: for item in context.remote.fileValues(): print item.getObject() return printed It will display the pictures. But when you will need to pass the picture content use like this: context.makethumbnail(str(item.getObject())) Hope this will help. Dragos VIGNAUX Philippe wrote:

Hi all !

My zope config : Zope 2.6.4 (binary release, python2.1, win32-x86)

I want to read the content of a folder (localfs) that contains pictures (JPG) to create thumbnails for these pictures.

Nb : « remote » is the name of my zope local file system.

for item in context.remote.fileValues():

print item.id

return printed

gives as result :

Chateau.jpg

Paradise.jpg

Which is right.

for item in context.remote.fileValues():

context.makethumbnail(item)

gives the error message that you find below. (attribute error read)

The « makethumbnail » external method has been tested and works FINE !

If I give as parameter for this method the result of <input type="file" name= …… >, a thumnail is well created.

So the problem is : what’s the right way to give the picture itself listed in the folder contents, as parameter in my python code ????

Any help greatly appreciated !

Regards,

Philippe.
