7: Response to photodb? (response to 1)
Posted by Ivan Histand on
Thanks for your responses, I am working with 4.5 so that's why I didn't find the module.

Walter, yes I am interested in extending photo-album. Rather than developing it for my needs only, collaboration sounds like a great idea.  I'm a beginner with openacs but have a lot of experience building standalone aolserver apps.
Question, Is the content-repository appropriate and efficient for storing a large amount of binary data?  I would like to use the extended photo-album to store the raw images from my camera, which are 8MB each, in a proprietary format.  Add three different size JPeG images for each, it all adds up to maybe 10MB per image. Currently I have over 5000 images and counting that could be stored in the system: 50GB+
