[Zope] Way to access (filesystem-based) folder of images?

[Gilles Lenfant]

| Hello,
| 
| I have a bunch of thumbnails that I would like to have access to in
| Zope. These thumbnails need to be accessible and replaceable through the
| filesystem. Ive looked at ExtFile and ExtImage and it seems as if these
| products are designed to be usable to manage filesystem objects through
| Zope. This isn't what I need, because they dont appear to show objects
| that were not added through Zope. What I need is a way to show a
| directory of images on the filesystem and test via DTML if an image with
| a given filename exists,,

LocalFS is your friend

| 
| It would also be nice if size data on the image was available, but thats
| not as important..
| 

LocalFS gives you a file extension -> Zope class mapper.
Such you can use .gif (.png...) files like Zope Image objects.

| The crucial thing is that the images need to be managed, changed, etc.
| from outside of Zope via the filesystem..

You can do both...
