Thanks for your response Yenthe, it helped clarifying things.

I was able to create attachments with the following function:

class ProductTemplate(models.Model):

_inherit = 'product.template'

@api.multi

def create_image_attachment(self, product):

image = self.env['ir.attachment'].create(dict(

datas_fname="Test.png",

name="Image - " + product.name,

datas=product.image,

mimetype='application/png',

res_model='product.template',

res_id=product.id,

))

return image

If I go to the product.template form view, I can download the attachments created and they are download correctly. However, if i try to download the image through the 'image_attachment.local_url', the file I download doesn't have the right name or extension.

Any idea of what I am missing?

Thanks

Just managed to fix it. I just had to mimetype to 'image/jpeg'.

Still, the path provided by .local_url is not public. Is there a way I can make it public?

Trying to import products from odoo export file. Image field is there. Getting error: Found invalid image data, images should be imported as either URLs or base64-encoded data.

Any idea ?

I though that that field is base64 encoded. Am I wrong ?
