Presentation week

last week was the week before Spring break and it was the presentation week. We didn't do much on our ticket other than preparing and present our progress to the audience. It seems like we are pretty close(hopefully) to finish our project. After the break, we will work on creating and saving thumbnails of a complex obs. Dr. Matocha was able to trace down the location where the complex obs (images and texts) are stored, i think that will help us to save the thumbnails.

Dr. Matocha: "It looks like I have found the images and where they are identified in the database. First, when the initial run wizard creates a folder in my home directory named Application Data\OpenMRS\ On my XP machine, Application Data is hidden and is located at C:\Documents and Settings\matochaj\Application Data\ In this folder, there is a file named openmrs-runtime.properties. More important to you is that after adding a ComplexObs, there should be a complex_obs folder in there that contains the image files that have been submitted with their original names (I believe).

In the openmrs database, look in the obs table. In phpmyadmin, be sure to scroll to the right to see the value_complex field. I have a single observation record whose value_complex field is "jpg image |Water lilies.jpg". I guess that some method in the API tears this back apart into the type, filename, and extension. "
