Updating Image component based off of newest image in a directory

Here’s some code to display an image, scaled, on the paintable canvas. Also caches the read image to avoid a little bit of extra load:

g = event.graphics
filename = r"path/to/file.png"

cachedName = event.source.getClientProperty("img-bytes-cached-name")
bytes = event.source.getClientProperty("img-bytes-cached")
if filename!=cachedName or not bytes:
	# Image not cached - load from database
	#bytes = system.db.runScalarQuery("SELECT data FROM image_test WHERE imgname='%s'"%name)
	bytes = system.file.readFileAsBytes(filename)
	event.source.putClientProperty("img-bytes-cached",bytes)
	event.source.putClientProperty("img-bytes-cached-name",filename)

if bytes:
	from javax.imageio import ImageIO
	from java.io import ByteArrayInputStream
#	from java.awt.geom import AffineTransform
#	scale = AffineTransform()
	image = ImageIO.read(ByteArrayInputStream(bytes))
	
	g.drawImage(image, 0, 0, event.width, event.height, event.source)
