Batch Dropbox Thumbnails .net SDK
Hello -
Echoing some of the past sentiment here about the .net SDK samples being thin. I've spent a day or two looking for a good example on how to prepare the parameters and build the call to the GetThumnailBatchAsync method correctly.
Presently, I am stuck on creating the ThumbnailArgs which appear to be provided as a list of Thumbnail args. The problem I'm having is that all the properties of a ThumbailArg are private setters. I have a list of files I've created, but how do I use the list of file paths to create all the entires I need thumbnails for?
You can make a list of ThumbnailArg and use it to call GetThumbnailBatchAsync like this:
var paths = new String[] { "/Photos/1.jpg", "/Photos/2.jpg"}; var thumbnailsArgs = new List<ThumbnailArg> { }; foreach (var path in paths) { thumbnailsArgs.Add(new ThumbnailArg(path: path, format: ThumbnailFormat.Png.Instance)); } GetThumbnailBatchResult getThumbnailBatchResult = await this.client.Files.GetThumbnailBatchAsync(thumbnailsArgs);

This looks pretty much like what I ended up doing! Did I miss this in the SDK examples somewhere?

No, this isn't in the examples for the SDK. I just wrote that for this thread.
