SCGetContainer to get Thumbnails

[Robert Roll]

I want to be able to use the SCGetContainer function to access the thumbnail versions of the files SC generates upon upload. The container data would then be exported to allow the user to send an email with the thumbnail version of the file, instead of the native file. For example, an Adobe Illustrator file is converted to a .png file type in the thumbnail folder.

First,I used the set Base URL function to set the path to the Thumbnails folder, instead of the Supercontainer folder, then called the SCGetContainer function. The SCGetContainer function returns an empty resource from the thumbnail folder, where there is a file.

Perhaps I'm not completely understanding the SCGetConatiner function resize functions with the ulitimate goal to send someone a version of the original files in smaller format that they would be able to view within most email or with Preview.

Thanks

Just supply the dimensions of the preview you would like to the SCGetContainer function and SC will generate the preview if it does not already exist.

Ok, understand now that the SCGetContainer function generates an image file that can be used for the purpose of storing or emailing (export field contents of container), a version of the original file. Thanks for the reply :)
