Image save location

[Andreas]

Hello,

Is there any way to change the location where ImageEditor saves the image? 

Currently, as a workaround, I can access the location in ImageSaved, copy it to the location where I want it to be and then delete the second copy. 

But on iOS, the delete requires the user to allow it in a confirmation dialog which might be confusing..

Hi Andreas,

Thank you for your patience.

We have prepared the sample to save the saved image to a different folder. Please download the sample from the below location:

Sample Link- http://www.syncfusion.com/downloads/support/forum/132294/ze/ImageEditor_GettingStarted-2140060901   

In the sample, we have obtained the saved image and saved to a different location using the Save method available in ImageSaveDependencyService in the AppDelegate class.

Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Regards,
Ashwin

Hello,

Many thanks for the reply, however, this code still leaves a copy of the image in the gallery that can't be removed without user confirmation on iOS (using PHAssetChangeRequest). 

EDIT: I've found a workaround for this, canceling the save in ImageSaving and then saving it in my own code using the stream from ImageEditor.GetStream().

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the update,

We have validated your query and it can be achieved by setting args.Cancel =true inside the ImageSaving Event.Can you please refer the following code snippet for better understanding?

Code Snippet-

SfImageEditor m_imageEditor = new SfImageEditor();
Stream tempStream;
m_imageEditor.ImageSaving += (sender, args) => {
tempStream=args.Stream;
args.Cancel=true;
};


Please get back us if you have any concern.

First off, I like the idea of the SfImageEditor control. So well done there. I guess it's interoperability I question.

 

I'm slightly worried as we're about to purchase Syncfusion suite specifically for Xamarin and I clearly see the updated example created in August 2017,  SfImageEditor's SaveImage ImageSavingEventArgs.Location uses the AssetsLibrary, a library depreciated as of iOS 9.0, announced the 8th June 2015. 

I'm worried that Syncfusion don't update controls to comply with newer platforms.

This is already on top of the fact that the SfImageEditor is not very MVVM friendly. It only exposes two bindable objects. The ImageSaving and ImageSaved events are not bindable.

And this is a control which is still in preview?!!
