By the way, the data actually gets uploaded, stored, and downloaded, too.
The problem is just that it gets deleted when saving the workflow locally. This is even the case for locally created nodes/components with data e.g. if you are trying to use “knime://knime.node”. It forces you to save the workflow before being able to use the protocol for nodes. Then you save it, aaand it’s gone (your data folder).
If you use the Table Creator and inform the data there (through CTRL-C + CTRL-V and a few adjustments in the header), then make it part of your component, would that not work?
thanks for the input. It probably would work for table-based data easily yes. In my case, it is a small folder structure with HTML templates and JS scripts.
I might be able to put every file into a single cell table and write it to disk
If I am really bored I might try that.
