Thanks Aaron.

Is there any other tool available that would make this possible?

Thanks.

Gears isn't designed to do this. In particular, web apps cannot use Gears to read arbitrary data off the local disk. The only thing web applications can read and write to persistently is the SQLite database and a special sandbox, indirectly, through local server.

Doing this would involve writing the images to a specific location and modifying the SQLite database to include a reference to it. This usage isn't supported by Gears.

Doesn't seem like the right tool for the job to me.

sorry,

Hi,

In our application, we have client created in C++. We can store files (image files) to a particular location in the filesystem. Now, we want to read that file in to the web application inside our client. So, we thought we can use Google Gears to do this. Has anyone does this? Any help would be welcome.

Thanks.
