Hi out there I've got a question for which i was not able to find any answer. I'd like to implement a custom tile source for DeepZoom image collections so that i can host the images on windows azure blob storage. Since documentation on custom tile sources does not really exist this talk could probably help me with this issue. All samples i've found are using composite images for which implementing custom tile source is a piece of cake. But when it comes to collections, ... Best regards Roland

Hi all, I answered Roland's question here on our Get Satisfaction forum. Short answer: you don't need a custom tile source just because the Deep Zoom Collection is on Azure. But to address your point, Andras, we do want to expose that functionality in some way, but it is indeed a bit non-trivial, as Deep Zoom Collection tiles are more than just URIs -- they're also crops (as multiple items share the same tile). We're aware of this scenario for the future, though. Thanks! Aseem (dev on the Seadragon team)
