[19:12] <midnightmonster> is there a difference between app.getAppDir and app.getDir ?
[19:39] <zumbrunn> midnightmoster, I don't think there is
[19:40] <zumbrunn> my guess is that app.getDir should probably be marked deprecated
[19:40] <zumbrunn> and I further guess that app.getDir is old and was there first
[19:41] <zumbrunn> then when app.getServerDir was added, app.getAppDir was added for clarity
[19:42] <zumbrunn> really just guessing, though
[19:59] <midnightmonster> any shorter way to talk about the protectedStatic dir than app.getAppsProperties().protectedStatic
[19:59] <midnightmonster> ?
[20:00] <zumbrunn> res.forward() ?
[20:01] <midnightmonster> well, yeah... but for saving stuff there
[20:01] <midnightmonster> do you know if res.forward will take an absolute path?
[20:01] <midnightmonster> (provided it ends up in the protectedStatic dir)
[20:02] <zumbrunn> no, don't know a shortcut
[20:02] <zumbrunn> hmm, what would be the point of that?
[20:02] <zumbrunn> (if it ends up in that dir anyway)
[20:02] <zumbrunn> don't know though
[20:03] <midnightmonster> point is so I can use this function
[20:03] <midnightmonster> function getImagePath(filename){
[20:03] <midnightmonster> return app.getAppsProperties().protectedStatic + '/' + this._prototype + '_' + this._id + '_' + filename;
[20:03] <midnightmonster> }
[20:04] <midnightmonster> to save images uploaded and to get the path to show them via res.forward
[20:06] <zumbrunn> ok
[20:06] <zumbrunn> If it does take an absolute path, the docs are wrong :-)
[20:07] <zumbrunn> well, not necessarily, actually
[20:26] <midnightmonster> Image.saveAs seems to infer the output file type from the file extension?
