We have images stored in a file system in the following format. So that web applications can have access to those images with url (http://imageserver.domain.com/items/it1/small.jpg) through an http server.
Now, to allow graphics team to have access to those images for
adding/updating, I was thinking to setup an SVN rep for the folder
“items”. Is this considered a best practice? Any suggestions?
Its certainly doable, however I’d advise that you have 2 folders: one containing a “working set” of images to be used by your web app, and another to be accessed by your graphics team whenever necessary. That way, your team can have a stock of images to work with, while avoiding any possibilities of broken image links or other problems inside your web app.
Better to play it safe IMO.
Hope this helps!
