Images from internet sites

Post by Richard Naninck »

Right now an image can point to a hard location on a fysical drive.
It would be nice if images could point to internet sites where the path to the image would be an URL. This way it would be easy to point a static image to for example a weather radar.

Yep cool idea. In the meantime, I use wget in a script to grab the url at regular intervals. I then merely display the file on the drive as you mentioned.
