3 years ago Yeah, this is a bigger problem, as you alluded to. I had some ideas of wanting to show the users a thumbnail of the current image on the frame, or to show thumbnails of a playlist, and all of that is blocked by the www access issue you hit.
We could recursively copy the uploads folder out as part of upgrade. I guess since there is no other work done, maybe we can just do something like delete *.dll and such to clear it. This may be a better way of leaving apsettings there even. Will have to think on it.

We should probably edit the install.sh to preserve the web/upload directory. At first I was thinking up zipping it up and moving then putting back but this would increase install or upgrade time.
I think rather then rm Dynaframe Directory we leave it and clear it minus web/uploads
Wouldn't want to clear out peoples images they have uploaded.
Originally I had the upload directory in Pictures, which worked fine for upload... but I could not get them to show up on the WebUI in the table... and I wanted the user to be able to see and delete them. httpServer does not like a path on the outside of the www root.
I guess a alternative maybe could be to thumbnail them in web/uploads and put originals for display in the Pictures/Upload directory. Gives a thought for down the road that we would thumbnail the playlist images for WebUI reference then we could possibly have a real time preview in the WebUI to control.. Def a wishlist item that is. For now lets just not delete web/upload contents. ;)
