How do I use a downloaded svg file within my application using Tizen Web studio?

I can get an SVG file downloaded, additionally, I can display svg files as you would normally within an image tag. I do not know how to access the folder location for downloads or the wgt-private folder so I may download images to a client's watch and then use the downloaded version.
I'm sure my file is downloading as I've console logged on successful download and when I list the items in the directory the file shows up.
Placing downloads/[filename] or wgt-private/[filename] does not appear to work as these are virtual file locations however I've no idea how to access these files within the application without using the filesystem methods.
Download:
var download_obj = new tizen.DownloadRequest('someFile.svg', 'wgt-private');//Hidden the actual location however this file does display when enterting the whole file location
tizen.download.start(download_obj, {
onprogress: function(id, receivedSize, totalSize) {
console.log(id);
console.log(receivedSize);
console.log(totalSize);
},
onpaused: function(id) {
console.log(id);
},
oncanceled: function(id) {
console.log(id);
},
oncompleted: function(id, fullPath) {
console.log(id);
console.log(fullPath);
},
onfailed: function(id, error) {
console.log(id);
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
});
Full path comes out as: wgt-private/someFile.svg
Doesn't display as displays a file error in the console on all attempts.

I understand that your questions relates to how to show the image downloaded with tizen.download API in html img tag.
I can see two workarounds that could help you with it:
You can use filesystem API (which you would like to avoid), BUT since 5.0 there is a method which needs no additional privileges and I hope it will match your needs - FileSystemManager.toURI(). It just gets the path to file (returned by download API) and returns the full URI, able to be used in img.
I noticed that download to non-public directories on the device, download API returns the 'hidden' path which uses virtual root, but when downloading to public directory as 'downloads', the full path is returned and it works for img as well.
If both of above is not acceptable for you, I am afraid that the only alternative is to use regular tizen.filesystem API and resolve the path from download API and then use File.toURI() function to get the path.
var link = "http://techslides.com/demos/samples/sample.jpg"
var download_obj = new tizen.DownloadRequest(link, 'wgt-private');//Hidden the actual location however this file does display when enterting the whole file location
tizen.download.start(download_obj, {
oncompleted: function(id, fullPath) {
console.log("completed " + id + " : " + fullPath);
tizen.filesystem.resolve(fullPath, (s)=>{console.log("Resovled full path: " + s.toURI())}, (e) => {console.log(e)})
},
onfailed: function(id, error) {
console.log("failed " + id);
console.log(JSON.stringify(error));
}
});

Converting HTML string, including style, to PDF (Electron - React - Typescript)

_____ Project Overview _____
I am building an Electron application, using React and Typescript, in which I read a plain HTML string to memory to then adjust some elements in it and finally convert it to a pdf.
_____ Problem Description _____
Because the html is never really rendered (it is just in memory), I am uncertain on how to convert the html (with style) to a pdf without rendering the html first.
_____ What I've tried _____
I have tried using a combination of html2canvas and jspdf.
jspdf works fine to convert the HTML, without styling, to pdf, but
I need the styling. So I tried getting a "screenshot" of my page with
html2canvas first but that fails because the page is never
rendered.
I tried using electron-pdf, but I could not get this to work in my application. It works fine as a command line tool though, so an option would be to invoke the command line tool. I think that that should work, but it feels very hacky (so I'd prefer not going that route).
_____ Code _____
const createPDF = async (invoiceData: IInvoiceFields) => {
const invoiceTemplate = fs
.readFileSync(
resolve(
remote.app.getAppPath(),
"src",
"invoice_templates",
"invoice_EN.html"
)
)
.toString();
const invoiceHTMLString = fillInInvoice(invoiceTemplate, invoiceData);
const domParser = new DOMParser();
const invoiceHTMLDocument = domParser.parseFromString(
invoiceHTMLString,
"text/html"
);
// TODO: Create actual pdf...
};

According to Generating PDF with Electron.js, it seems possible to use the webContents method printToPDF in a new BrowserWindow without actually showing the window:
window_to_PDF = new BrowserWindow({show : false});//to just open the browser in background
window_to_PDF.loadURL('anylink.html'); //give the file link you want to display
function pdfSettings() {
var paperSizeArray = ["A4", "A5"];
var option = {
landscape: false,
marginsType: 0,
printBackground: false,
printSelectionOnly: false,
pageSize: paperSizeArray[settingCache.getPrintPaperSize()-1],
};
return option;
}
window_to_PDF.webContents.on("did-finish-load", function() {
window_to_PDF.webContents.printToPDF(pdfSettings(), function(err, data) {
if (err) {
//do whatever you want
return;
}
try{
fs.writeFileSync('./generated_pdf.pdf', data);
}catch(err){
//unable to save pdf..
}
});
});
So, in your case, you may have to write your generated HTML to a temporary file anylink.html then use loadURL or preferably loadFile to load it in the "off-screen" window.

GraphicsMagick For Node - Get Multi-Page TIF Page Frame

I have a java script where I can pass in a single page TIF, and it converts to a JPEG properly. However, I am having trouble finding whether "GraphicsMagick For Node" (https://github.com/aheckmann/gm) has the ability to extract a single page (using the "pageNumber" parameter) out of a multi-page TIFF and convert to JPEG. I.e., navigate to frame and extract just that one page. I cannot find anywhere else on this site. Thanks!
function GetImageAndConvert(input, output, pageNumber, idx, callback)
{
gm(input).setFormat('jpeg').noProfile().toBuffer(function(err, buffer)
{
if (!err)
{
console.log('Converted to jpeg');
}
else
{
// record error here
}
callback(buffer, idx);
});
}

Answering my own question. Completely missed it in the documentation:
gm("img.png").selectFrame(0)

Unity WebGL External Assets

I'm developing some webGL project in Unity that has to load some external images from a directory, it runs all fine in the editor, however when I build it, it throws a Directory Not Found exception in web console. I am putting the images in Assets/StreamingAssets folder, that will become StreamingAssets folder in the built project (at root, same as index.html). Images are located there, yet browser still complains about not being able to find that directory. (I'm opening it on my own computer, no running web server)
I guess I'm missing something very obvious, but it seems like I could use some help, I've just started learning unity a week ago, and I'm not that great with C# or JavaScript (I'm trying to get better...) Is this somehow related to some javascript security issues?
Could someone please point me in the right direction, how I should be reading images(no writing need to be done) in Unity WebGL?
string appPath = Application.dataPath;
string[] filePaths = Directory.GetFiles(appPath, "*.jpg");
According to unity3d.com in webGL builds everything except threading and reflection is supported, so IO should be working - or so I thought:S
I was working around a bit and now I'm trying to load a text file containing the paths of the images (separated by ';'):
TextAsset ta = Resources.Load<TextAsset>("texManifest");
string[] lines = ta.text.Split(';');
Then I convert all lines to proper path, and add them to a list:
string temp = Application.streamingAssetsPath + "/textures/" + s;
filePaths.Add(temp);
Debug.Log tells me it looks like this:
file://////Downloads/FurnitureDresser/build/StreamingAssets/textures/79.jpg
So that seems to be allright except for all those slashes (That looks a bit odd to me)
And finally create the texture:
WWW www = new WWW("file://" + filePaths[i]);
yield return www;
Texture2D new_texture = new Texture2D(120, 80);
www.LoadImageIntoTexture(new_texture);
And around this last part (unsure: webgl projects does not seem easily debuggable) it tells me: NS_ERROR_DOM_BAD_URI: Access to restricted URI denied
Can someone please enlighten me what is happening? And most of all, what would be proper to solution to create a directory from where I can load images during runtime?

I realise this question is now a couple of years old, but, since this still appears to be commonly asked question, here is one solution (sorry, the code is C# but I am guessing the javascript implementation is similar). Basically you need to use UnityWebRequest and Coroutines to access a file from the StreamingAssets folder.
1) Create a new Loading scene (which does nothing but query the files; you could have it display some status text or a progress bar to let the user knows what is happening).
2) Add a script called Loader to the Main Camera in the Loading scene.
3) In the Loader script, add a variable to indicate whether the asset has been read successfully:
private bool isAssetRead;
4) In the Start() method of the Loading script:
void Start ()
{
// if webGL, this will be something like "http://..."
string assetPath = Application.streamingAssetsPath;
bool isWebGl = assetPath.Contains("://") ||
assetPath.Contains(":///");
try
{
if (isWebGl)
{
StartCoroutine(
SendRequest(
Path.Combine(
assetPath, "myAsset")));
}
else // desktop app
{
// do whatever you need is app is not WebGL
}
}
catch
{
// handle failure
}
}
5) In the Update() method of the Loading script:
void Update ()
{
// check to see if asset has been successfully read yet
if (isAssetRead)
{
// once asset is successfully read,
// load the next screen (e.g. main menu or gameplay)
SceneManager.LoadScene("NextScene");
}
// need to consider what happens if
// asset fails to be read for some reason
}
6) In the SendRequest() method of the Loading script:
private IEnumerator SendRequest(string url)
{
using (UnityWebRequest request = UnityWebRequest.Get(url))
{
yield return request.SendWebRequest();
if (request.isNetworkError || request.isHttpError)
{
// handle failure
}
else
{
try
{
// entire file is returned via downloadHandler
//string fileContents = request.downloadHandler.text;
// or
//byte[] fileContents = request.downloadHandler.data;
// do whatever you need to do with the file contents
if (loadAsset(fileContents))
isAssetRead = true;
}
catch (Exception x)
{
// handle failure
}
}
}
}

Put your image in the Resources folder and use Resources.Load to open the file and use it.
For example:
Texture2D texture = Resources.Load("images/Texture") as Texture2D;
if (texture != null)
{
GetComponent<Renderer>().material.mainTexture = texture;
}
The directory listing and file APIs are not available in webgl builds.
Basically no low level IO operations are supported.

Why doesn't Microsoft Skydrive download multiple files even though MS example shows it? (wl.download)

Summary
I am attempting to find out why the wl.download function will not download more than one file even though the Microsoft examples seem to indicate that they can.
And, the code seems to be called for each file you attempt to download, but only the one file is actually downloaded.
Details
Here are the details of how you can see this problem which I've tried in IE 11.x and Chrome 30.x
If you will kindly go to :
http://isdk.dev.live.com/dev/isdk/ISDK.aspx?category=scenarioGroup_skyDrive&index=0
You will be able to run an example app which allows you to download files from your skydrive.
Note: the app does require you to allow the app to access your skydrive.
Once you get there you'll see code that looks like this on the right side of the page:
Alter One Value: select:
You need to alter one value: Change the
select: 'single'
to
select: 'multi'
which will allow you to select numerous files to download to your computer. If you do not make that one change then you won't be able to choose more than one file in the File dialog.
Click the Run Button to Start
Next, you'll see a [Run] button to start the app (above the code sample).
Go ahead and click that button.
Pick Files For Download
After that just traverse through your skydrive files and choose more than one in a folder and click the [Open] button. At that point, you will see one of the files actually downloads, and a number of file names are displayed in the bottom (output) section of the example web page.
My Questions
Why is it that the others do not download, even though wl.download is called in the loop, just as the console.log is called in the loop?
Is this a known limitation of the browser?
Is this a known bug in skydrive API?
Is this just a bug in the example code?

The problem here is that the call to wl.download({ "path": file.id + "/content" }) stores some internal state (among other things, the file being downloaded and the current status thereof). By looping over the list of files, that state is in fact overwritten with each call. When I tried downloading three text files at once, it was always the last one that was actually downloaded and never the first two.
The difficulty here is that the downloads are executed in the traditional fashion, whereby the server adds Content-Disposition: attachment to the response headers to force the browser to download the file. Because of this, it is not possible to receive notification of any kind when the download has actually completed, meaning that you can't perform the downloads serially to get around the state problem.
One approach that I thought might work is inspired by this question. According to the documentation, we can get a download link to a file if we append /content?suppress_redirects=true to its id. Using this approach, we can set the src property of an IFrame and download the file that way. This works OK, but it will only force a download for file types that the browser can't natively display (zip files, Exe files, etc.) due to the lack of the Content-Disposition: attachment response header.
The following is what I used in the Interactive Live SDK.
WL.init({ client_id: clientId, redirect_uri: redirectUri });
WL.login({ "scope": "wl.skydrive wl.signin" }).then(
function(response) {
openFromSkyDrive();
},
function(response) {
log("Failed to authenticate.");
}
);
function openFromSkyDrive() {
WL.fileDialog({
mode: 'open',
select: 'multi'
}).then(
function(response) {
log("The following file is being downloaded:");
log("");
var files = response.data.files;
for (var i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
var file = files[i];
log(file.name);
WL.api({
path: file.id + "/content?suppress_redirects=true",
method: "GET"
}).then(
function (response) {
var iframe = document.createElement("iframe");
iframe.src = response.location;
iframe.style.display = "none";
document.body.appendChild(iframe);
},
function (responseFailed) {
log("Error calling API: " + responseFailed.error.message);
}
);
}
},
function(errorResponse) {
log("WL.fileDialog errorResponse = " + JSON.stringify(errorResponse));
}
);
}
function log(message) {
var child = document.createTextNode(message);
var parent = document.getElementById('JsOutputDiv') || document.body;
parent.appendChild(child);
parent.appendChild(document.createElement("br"));
}

Did you try to bind some events to the WL.download() method? According to the documentation:
The WL.download method accepts only one parameter:
The required path parameter specifies the unique SkyDrive file ID of the file to download.
If the WL.download method call is unsuccessful, you can use its then method's onError parameter to report the error. In this case, the WL.download doesn't support the onSuccess and onProgress parameters. If the WL.download method call is successful, the user experience for actually downloading the files will differ based on the type of web browser in use.
Perhaps you are getting some errors in your log to identify the problem.
For me, one suggestion without having checked the documentation, I can think of the fact that you are not waiting for each download to end. Why not change your loop in such a manner that you call WL.download() only if you know no other download is currently running ( like calling the next WL.download only in the success/complete event ):
WL.download({ "path": file.id + "/content" }).then(
function (response) {
window.console && console.log("File downloaded.");
//call the next WL.download() here <!-----------------
},
function (responseFailed) {
window.console && console.log( "Error downloading file: " + responseFailed.error.message);
}
);
