Image Resource Live Connect

Hey :slight_smile:

I really like the new Grasshopper component called Image Resource, I was curious if it’s possible to add the possibility to constantly upload an image every time it changes. Right now if I change my .png graph with Grasshopper it won’t upload the view of the image, even after “Recompute”, I have to disconnect the path and connect it again. It would be really cool if there was an option to constantly update an image (if there are no big disanvantages in such an approach) :wink:

I’m quite late. The main problem I’m finding is that you’d need to update the “file” with a different path each time, since you won’t be able to rewrite the current one, since ImageResource “opens” it. “This is typical behavior when a user keeps the file open, blocking any write or delete operations.” You could very possibly create a cycle of temporary files, where one is displayed, so that another path is free for writing. It’s probably easier to use URLs, such as a webcam, snapshot URL, or possibly a local server.
