Change default path for upload and cache storage

[Johnsnow]

Hi,

I had created sample project by following this tutorial.
https://www.vintasoft.com/docs/vsimagin ... ation.html

Its working fine, but Its currently upload the files in the folder "wwwroot/UploadedImageFiles", and creating all cache data in the folder "wwwroot/VintasoftCache", I want to change these paths.

Please advise. And also can you advise to clear cache data programmatically after save/burn annotations.

Thanks,

Hi John,

Its working fine, but Its currently upload the files in the folder "wwwroot/UploadedImageFiles", and creating all cache data in the folder "wwwroot/VintasoftCache", I want to change these paths.

If you want to change name of upload directory from "UploadedImageFiles" to other name in ASP.NET Core project, you need to do the following steps:

• Create custom API controller that is derived from VintaSoft API controller. For example, create MyVintasoftImageApiController class derived from Vintasoft.Imaging.AspNetCore.ApiControllers.VintasoftImageApiController class. Remember, you need to create custom API controller for each used web service, i.e. VintasoftImageApiController, VintasoftImageCollectionApiController, etc.
• In created class override the CreateSessionDataStorage method. Here is example:

  Code: Select all

  protected override IDataStorage CreateSessionDataStorage(string sessionId)
  {
      if (sessionId == null)
      {
          if (IsEmptySessionSupported)
              sessionId = "";
          else
              throw new ArgumentNullException("sessionId");
      }
  
      string path = Path.Combine(HostingEnvironment.WebRootPath, "UploadedImageFiles", sessionId);
      if (!Directory.Exists(path))
          Directory.CreateDirectory(path);
  
      return new StreamDataStorageOnDisk(path);
  }
  

Please also read how to create custom data storage for image files here: https://www.vintasoft.com/docs/vsimagin ... abase.html

And also can you advise to clear cache data programmatically after save/burn annotations.

You can get image cache manager of web image viewer using the WebImageViewerJS.get_ImageCacheManager function.

The WebImageCacheManagerJS class allows to manage cache of web images.
