Is it possible to get direct links (without the Dropbox header) to all files inside a Dropbox folder via their API?
Yes. See https://www.dropbox.com/developers/core/docs#media.

can anyone share with me the .zip file for Document Approval template because I can't open it since I'm not using GCS but I wanted to go through how they using Drive Picker widget to upload file and so on.
another thing is, where the file will be uploaded to? is it the owner's Drive? is it possible to upload the document to a single folder of a Team Drive instead? Really appreciate it if anyone can share with me some thoughts or any API will do, Thanks!
The only way to upload files that App Maker provides out of the box is Drive Picker widget and by default it uploads files to current user's Drive root folder. Drive Picker's API allows to change default upload folder, however App Maker doesn't expose the setting at this time. But it has onPickerInit event that provides you with pickerBuilder that you can use to customize your the picker:
// onPickerInit Drive Picker's event handler
var uploadView = new google.picker.DocsUploadView();
uploadView.setParent('ID of the folder to upload to');
pickerBuilder.addView(uploadView);
This trick works both for personal and Team Drive folders.
Note
It seems that setParent works only in combination with MULTISELECT_ENABLED drive picker feature enabled.
Right now, looks appmaker seems to ALWAYS adds an upload tab itself, so if I add another uploadview, I end up with two upload tabs, the first one uploading to the main folder and selected by default :(
My best guess for a workaround is to not add my own upload view, let the picker upload the file to the main folder, and move the file in the onSelect hook to its final destination. If there's a better way, I'd love the hear.
I am developing and android app, where i want to get all files from drop box. Now i can retrieve all files from drop box and display it in List View. Now i want to open/display the file when i click on the List View. I don't know how to open Dropbox file, with which manager or which method??? please help
I was using this method to open/display Google Drive file, but i don't know how to use the same method here for Dropbox.
String ur = "https://docs.google.com/file/d/"+fileID;
Intent i = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
i.setData(Uri.parse(ur));
startActivity(i);
Unfortunately this is not possible.
I posted in their forums and got a negative response. Hopefully it'll be functionality they look to support soon.
I created a plugin for IP 3.9 to upload videos to encoding.com and convert them to mp4 so users would not have to worry about the format of the videos to use in their html5 sites.
In the previous version of ImpressPages I used the element_file of the ItemsArea class to upload the original videos to a temp folder, once the video was encoded I would put it in the Repository so it is available to the users for embedding using a widget.
In the new Impress Pages 4 Grid class the element_file was replaced for the RepostoryFile field and it directly uploads the file to the main Repository (does not let you choose the destination), which makes the non-encoded video to be available to the user.
Is there a way to override this behaviour without modifying the core files?
or is there a way to tell the repository not to show this files until they are encoded (like a visibility flag)?
or can I create a custom field type from a plugin?
You can create custom field type for your plugin. Just use Full class name including namespace in Grid configuration.
File input which save files to tmp folder would be useful for others. So you can contribute it to the core too.
I am working on an app for iPad where I want to have lets say 100 jpg's in a folder.
They could be named like 01.jpg, 02.jpg etc.
In my app I like to browse those images and when clicking on one of them I need the name of the image to be able to send some data over the network (the data part works fine).
I tried to use UIImagePicker but I found out there are no name connected to the actual image.
Then I made another approach where I have a number of pages where I have buttons and here I load in the images which works fine as long the are a part of the recourse of the project...
But here comes the real problem.
The user of the app should be able to change those images over time without recompiling the app.
So I do look for a way to have a folder where the user can place/replace images with the names 01.jpg etc and the app to use those updated images.
Ideas are very welcome.

I am not sure that I understand what you mean, but You can save images in your application documents folder. You can find more details at:
http://developer.apple.com/library/ios/#documentation/iphone/conceptual/iphoneosprogrammingguide/StandardBehaviors/StandardBehaviors.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40007072-CH4-SW6
You can also use NSFileManager to copy files.
what I suggest to do is :
put default images on project resources.
At first start, copy files to documents folder.
always use images from documents folder.
Our Silverlight application needs to show to the user previews of HTML pages it generates dynamically, so we want to use the WebBrowser to show these pages. The problem is that the HTML contains links to other local files such as images, flash objects, CSS and javascript files. The CSS and javascript could be placed inline in the HTML, but I haven't found a way to embed images. Something simple like this just doesn't work:
Creating the HTML file and the image file in the isolated storage is doable, but I can't get the path to the created HTML file to pass on to WebBrowser.Navigate(uri).
Reading the contents of the HTML file and calling WebBrowser.NavigateToString(string) will show the page, but not any linked images or scripts.
Linking to online sources is not an option as the application needs to work offline (i.e. out of browser) and performance would be much better if the images and flash objects were able to be cached locally.
So, is there any way in Silverlight of showing in the WebBrowser control a local HTML file that contains an image from the local file system, or is it impossible?
Thanks, sandeep agrawal
The only way to make that work is to make the Silverlight an OOB application, and then you can still only access the My* folders.
I heard that someone wrote a browser control that can be used without going OOB but not sure about that. This is a real pain, but a necessary one I guess.
