Hey,
I have declared this in my main.js file:
ipcMain.on('openFile', (event, path) => {
const {dialog} = require('electron')
const fs = require('fs')
dialog.showOpenDialog(function (fileNames) {
// fileNames is an array that contains all the selected
if(fileNames === undefined){
console.log("No file selected");
}else{
readFile(fileNames[0]);
}
});
function readFile(filepath){
fs.readFile(filepath, 'utf-8', (err, data) => {
if(err){
alert("An error ocurred reading the file :" + err.message)
return
}
// handle the file content
event.sender.send('fileData', filepath)
})
}
})
I am using this function to load Images in my canvas object:
$scope.loadImage = function () {
const {
ipcRenderer
} = require('electron')
ipcRenderer.send('openFile', () => {})
ipcRenderer.on('fileData', (event, filepath) => {
fabric.Image.fromURL(filepath, function (image) {
image.set({
scaleX: 0.5,
scaleY: 0.5
})
canvas.add(image);
})
})
};
Working, but really strage, when I choose an image from my file system:
1st time I insert an Image is OK – it is inserting one image
2nd time it inserts two instances of the choosen image
3rd time it inserts three instances of the choosen image
… and so on…
Really banging my head
