attachment - not functionals icons near the image area

[Ferdinand]

the attachment icon "Set image" allows to select an image(document) but it is not saved

selecting AND saving works only if the Select dialog of the "Data" Section is used.

Fixed

not yet
1) the icons below the image are now disabled - so why do we need them ??

2) the image selected is not placed "immediately" in the preview area
example
- save image A
- select image B - but A is still displayed
- save - Image B - gets displayed only now - confusing

1) Now, we use the picture widget instead of the image widget.

2) Because to replace the preview with the image, we must use an on_change event, but if we want to use this event, the client will send the image to the server, and the server will reply to the client. Not very optimal. So I prefer that the user saves his record to see the new preview.

Don't forget to upgrade your server and the client.

Thanks

1) sorry .... ergonomic catastrophe !!!! select one file - show content of other file --- IMHO a "NO GO"
2) the field "Data" shows 991.75 Kb (correct) before and "7.00 bytes" after saving - it's just wrong....
3) the preview is now "full size" - IMHO we need a preview and "open document" with the viewer of the system.
- the best would be that the server sends a thumbnail - and "Open" fetches the full size image and opens it using the systems default viewer.
4) "Open" a pdf file uses kpdf ( why not..) but then I get endlos high disk activity - have to kill OpenERP Client

may be the filename part without extension could be copied to the attachment name - for documents this might be quite often correct.

Ferdinand,

1. There are two widgets to show an image.
  a) the Image Widget with three buttons, Open, Save and Clear.
     This widget shows a scaled image if necessary
  b) the Picture Widget without buttons, but shows the image with the full size.

2. I will fix this point.

3. The preview is now in full size.
   a) a small preview ? we can generate a thumbnail as you tell, but it's very short in time to add this preview in the new version. so I propose you to make a blueprint but for the next release after v5
   b) "open document" ? you can open the file with the button "open".

4. The client tries to use the pdf file with the first viewer. in order, xdg-open, evince, xpdf, gpdf, kpdf, etc...
    Have you installed the xdg-open (use the user's preferences)

Thank you

I fixed the bug about the size of the binary field. Can you upgrade your server please ?

Thanks

I've created this blueprint to propose your idea.

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+spec/image-field-with-thumbnail

Actually, I can't fix this problem

[Ferdinand (office-chricar)]

OK I create a blueprint

But you promise ;-) to fix the "attachments" - I do not think that the current solution will find many friends - to many usability issues.
