Designer hangs when replacing Base64 image

Ignition

Hi,

I’m using Base64-encoded images. Small images work fine, but when I try to edit and replace them with a new Base64 string, the Designer hangs.

Does anyone know how to handle this properly or a better way to update Base64 images?

Thanks in advance!

I don't have a specific answer to your question, but the Right Answer™ is to not use Data URLs at all. They are horribly slow and inefficient. Use one of the following to serve arbitrary content:

  • The webdev module,
  • My Blob Server module to serve from a DB, or
  • A reverse proxy in front of Ignition

Thank you so much for your advice. Your suggestions are beneficial.:+1:

We implemented a WebDev endpoint in the past, works well. Then just call that endpoint.
