Local path for images hosted in the cloud

Post by JeromeR »

I have a Flare project that provides text for a web application that contains text, graphics, and video.
The images and video are hosted in the cloud; the team has selected Amazon's S3 service.

My text output needs to contain local-path references to the images, when it's ingested by the web application.

But I'd like to be able to preview some graphics in Flare, so a local path will be broken. Also, *I don't want to publish the graphics*, so i cannot have them in my Flare project (because Falre is not the "source of truth" of these images, and because if the images are in Flare, they'll get pushed to source control and ingested by the code—which we must avoid.)

Is there a way to preview local references and have the Preview function prefix the URL to our S3 location?
Or is there another solution?
