[TYPO3-dam] retrieve images from an exported selection (for a frontend plugin)

[Fabien Udriot]

The possibility to export a selection of medias in the dam backend is a 
very useful feature for me.

But, now I am trying to retrieve theses images in a frontend plugin.

How can I do that *using the Dam API* ? That's what I am working on.

I try to understand in the source code of the DAM how is it possible to 
convert a selection definition (which is serialized as string) into a 
Recordset of images.

EXEMPLE OF A SELECTION DEFINITION :

a:2:{s:6:"SELECT";a:1:{s:11:"txdamFolder";a:1:{s:66:"/home/Sites/fileadmin/user_upload/images/moto/";s:1:"1";}}s:3:"NOT";a:1:{s:12:"txdamRecords";a:0:{}}}


Does anybody as a exemple or an idea how to manage this ?
