How can I create a Library Item of an Image file?

[iklimis]

Hello Forma Team!!
hope you all doing great,

So the need arose in our business model where we need to save a terrain image that our user has downloaded through our extension as a Library item in order for the user to be able to use the image outside of the extension if they choose to.

I have already experimented with gld files that can get uploaded as a library items but have not yet how to do the same with a jpg or png file..

Can you share your thoughts or advice on how to approach this issue??
Thanks a lot

Hi!

We are currently working on changing the systems involved to make this possible. Unfortunately we cannot share a timeline of when it will be available.

Thanks for your reply 

Would u be able to provide an alternative workaround on how to create an Image Library item?

Hi!

Unfortunately we do not have a workaround available for this use case. The capability we are working on is the way we will solve that need (store raster data in Library through the SDK).
