Custom Widgets - Images in the proddata library

Hi,

If i create custom widgets, let's say a panel, i have to store the images in the proddata/images directory, right?
Question: Could these be overritten by a next release, or is it possible to store these in the custom directory? Maybe it's possible to indicate an access path in the .js file - if yes, how?

Thank you,
Karl

The image directory location is assumed, so yes, you do have to place your images (for example panels) here:

/profoundui/proddata/images/panels/YOUR_PANEL

When you install an update to Profound UI, it only overwrites files that are shipped with the product. So, if you choose a unique name for the widget/directory the files will not be overwritten.

We'd recommend using your company name as part of the widget name, for example "ABC Company Panel".
