Hi,

I've finally started looking at the missing browser views for CMFDefault: Image and Folder. Folder looks like a bit of a challenge because of the various views required but I think is a fairly straightforward migration to using formlib. Image looks like it might be a bit of a challenge because the current Image class contains presentation logic which might be more suited to views. Looking at some of the source for Zope 2.10 it looks like it might be time to look at a new implementation of Image and File based on zope.app.file rather than OFS.Image. Is this a reasonable assumption or have I misunderstood the source?


I now have something working based on zope.app.file but the views are just as easily implemented with the existing CMF.Image class. I've currently got this:

class RawImageView(ViewBase):
    """Return the raw data of the image call as @@index.html"""

    def __call__(self):
        response = self.context.request.RESPONSE
        response.setHeader('content-type', self.context.contentType)
        response.write(self.context._getData())

class TagImageView(ViewBase):
    """Return image infos for use in an HTML tag"""

    @memoize
    @decode
    def __init__(self, *args, **kw):
        super(TagImageView, self).__init__(*args, **kw)
        self.width, self.height = self.context.getImageSize()
        self.title = self.context.title

With RawImageView registered as index_html allowing it to be called from image tags without any decoration, assuming @@index.html is the default view, and TagImageView providing any additional information. Can't help but thinking that only one class should be required but can't think of a way of doing it.

Looking at some of the views, now that I understand them a bit better, it seems to me that the use of adapters is a bit excessive. Surely it would be okay to extend the existing IMutable... interfaces with the form fields and properties? That this hasn't been done hints at the fact that things aren't that easy.
