Abstract:
1. A method for a computer system including a memory, a processor and a user input device comprises: receiving a selection of a plurality of assets to be rendered from a user with the user input device, wherein the selection comprises a plurality of symbolic references; determining respective static references associated with each asset from the plurality of assets in response to the plurality of symbolic references with the processor; rendering the plurality of assets in response to asset data associated with the respective static references to form a rendered image with the processor; storing the respective static references associated with each asset from the plurality of assets in a pinset file in the memory; associating the rendered image with the pinset file in the memory; wherein the respective static references associated with each asset from the plurality of assets comprises respective absolute directory path locations associated with each asset from the plurality of assets; storing the respective static references associated with each asset from the plurality of assets in the pinset file comprises storing the respective absolute directory path locations associated with each asset from the plurality of assets in the pinset file in memory; retrieving the pinset file from the memory; determining the respective absolute directory path locations for the plurality of assets in response to the pinset file in the memory; and re-rendering the plurality of assets in response to data stored in the respective absolute directory path locations to form a re-rendered image with the processor.
