image data type

I'd like to use the http retriever data source to retrieve an image from a webcam or any old URL. Then I'd like to place a scaled copy of the most recent image in a graphical view which links to the full size image or shows it in a pop up layer.

Is this something that you might undertake? If not I'll take a crack at it.

I think I'd start by adding a 5th data type for image files to com.serotonin.mango.DataTypes and taking it from there.
I plan to store the images in a dated directory structure.

Additional libraries or dependencies might be required for image resizing. Do you have any preferences?

Hi Craig,

This is interesting, but likely not something we'll get to soon. If you need help or pointers, etc., let us know.
