Marty - TMS supports what you are trying to accomplish. You need to add a new path to the paths authority, which is the http://server[etc] path to the image and point to the hi-res rendition of the image with another rendition in the media record. One thing to note: as with any web-based content, the images are cached for the configured period on the user's local hard disk and deleted when the configured period expires. I will ask [log in to unmask] to respond to this question in detail to the TMS ListServ.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out if something is possible in TMS and I'm hoping that maybe someone has figured this out. We are trying to use TMS as a way to let our curatorial staff know that high-resolution digital images are available on our internal network servers. Right now, we enter a media rendition for the TMS thumbnail and only allow staff to download this file to an external viewer. We don't really want to add our high-res files to the TMS image server, but I would like to at least have a way of "pointing" the way to the images that are kept on other servers. I was wondering if there was a way to include a network address hyperlink to the media rendition record. I tried typing in a link to the remarks field in the media rendition form, but it didn't work. Has anyone else tried adding hyperlinks and would be willing to share how they did it? Or has anyone else devised a way of making really large files available through TMS. Does this make any sense? I don't know if I'm trying to find a hard way to do something easy. If I am, please let me know. Thanks so much!
