Published files 3 times the size as CP files

When I publish some of my CP projects the file sizes increase
almost 300%. It seems to be with slides that uses hot spot quiz
types. Is there a work around to avoid the large file sizes when
using hot spots in quizzes?

That's unusual as published files are usually much smaller
than the source.
Try doing a 'Save As' *twice* on your CP project file (Save
As a new
file, then Save As a new file again).
Then publish.
Any improvement?

How i reduced by 10 times the size of imovie Thumbnails

hi,
as you may know imovie produces huge movie thumbnails file that appears to be encoded in this format:
Apple Photo - JPEG, 160 x 90, Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
it's there just to allow the timeframe to be animated while hoovering it with the cursor which is a MAJOR feature of imovie that I LOVE!!!!
*original movie:*
apple-getamac-chooseavista_848x496.mov
H.264 Decoder, 848 x 480, Millions
AAC, Stereo (L R), 44.100 kHz
25FPS
2.9Mo
Thumbnail movie:
Apple Photo - JPEG, 160 x 90, Millions
16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
25 FPS
8.3Mo (Bigger than the original !!!! )
RE ENCODED Thumbnail Movie:
AAC, Stereo (L R), 16.000 kHz
Apple Photo - JPEG, 160 x 90, Millions
5 FPS
852KB
With the newly encoded thumbnail imovie reacts the same way and the movie editing is just AS GOOD AND EASY.
Hope it helps to make imovie better

As far as I can see it takes up exactly the same amount of size, it's just stored in the library instead of in the project. Am I missing something - or is that what you mean?
Even when we include both the Event Library and the Project Library, the size of an iMovie 7 project is considerably smaller than earlier versions of iMovie. That is because iMovie 7 doesn't convert the source material to DV, which occurred with most pre-7 projects. H.264 video we import, for example, no longer swells to many times its original size. That saves us a lot of disk space. (I just imported a 12MB H.264 movie — a Large movie exported from iM7 — to iMovie 6. It swelled into a 120MB DV clip. When I import the same movie to iMovie 7 the project and Event combined, including Thumbnails, is 15MB.)
There's one other potential saving. It's now possible to discard Event material while retaining only those part(s) of the Event the project actually uses. That wasn't possible in iMovie 5 or 6. In 5/6, a source clip was never discarded if a project clip used ANY PORTION of the source material. If we used 5 seconds of a 30-minute clip the project retained the whole 30 minutes when we emptied the Trash. That's no longer true. In iM7, if we want to keep 5 seconds we can discard the rest. (I haven't tested that feature yet, but that's what the Space Saver dialog says. For more details search for "space saver" in iMovie Help.)
There's one other advantage to iMovie 7. We can store Events on other disks away from the project. For laptops and iMacs — which can use just one internal drive — that lets us store Events on inexpensive external disks. Yes, we could store entire projects on external drives in earlier versions, but iMovie 7 lets us keep our projects in one place, in the Movies folder of our startup drive, while storing Events somewhere else. I use three drives to store Events; I assume I could use many more drives if needed.
So we will use a lot less disk space for iMovie 7 than we ever did in earlier versions. In that context, I'm not worried about the few MB used for the Thumbnail movies. Nor am I willing to run the risk of messing up a project by fiddling with material iMovie owns. Down that road lies disaster. When we discard Event material, for example, what happens to the thumbnail we substituted? Will it cause problems for iMovie when it tries to modify our thumbnail movie that has a different frame rate? Will iMovie simply discard our thumbnail movie and build a new one? Has anyone tested this? Does anyone know? What happens we we add new material to an Event?
Others may be willing to take such risks, but when considering the whole iMovie 7 space-saving environment, I don't think the risks are worth it. iMovie 7 is such a space saver I'm not going to worry about the thumbnails.

BI Publisher 10g - Limit to the size of the data model?

Hello,
We are using OBIEE 10g 10.1.3.4.1 in our organization and have a problem when working on a large report in BI Publisher. It seems that once our data model gets large enough, we are no longer able to edit the report. When we click on the Edit link to load the report editor, the side menu that lists the data model, parameters, bursting, etc does not load, preventing us from making any changes to the report.
At first we thought it was a timeout issue and changed the following:
$J2EE_HOME/applications/xmlpserver/xmlpserver/js/XDOReportModel.js
Property name : XDOReportModel.TIMEOUTMSEC
set value in Milli seconds as " XDOReportModel.TIMEOUTMSEC = 15000
After making the change and restarting the services, it did not help. Is there a different place for the timeout of loading the report editor? What about some kind of cap to the size of the data model? We have one large data template that is used to generate a report. I tried breaking the large data set into multiple, smaller data sets (still using data tempalte) and that didn't seem to help any. Is there a limit the size of the data model BI Publisher can return?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hello,
I think you should create a recordStore with RMS and use it like a string array. You can store huge amount of data and the time access when request data from recordStore is very similar as if it is store on the RAM memory with recent devices.
And if it is not persistent data you can delete the recordStore when closing the midlet.

Since loading ver 13 the toolbar buttons are 3 times the size they were and now take up large amount of display. How do I reset them?

toolbar buttons are 3 times the height they need to be. How do I correct them.
I tried to include a screen print to illustrate but it won't let me.

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":

There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If the new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.
See:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
If that didn't help then do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Pages 09 document files are 4 x the size of the same doc saved in Word?

I noticed that if I save a document in Pages 09 native format, it is about 4 times the size as the same document saved as a Word document. None of the documents that I'm working on have graphics, fancy backgrounds or mixed fonts. They are simple one page business letters.
Any thoughts on this a greatly appreciated.
Bud James

I have had concerns about this very same issue. I noticed that a 1 page document of plain text in Pages 09 took up 128KB of space, whereas if I saved the same document to Word 2004 it was 24KB. However it is in fact true that the larger the document the more efficient it is. A 2 page text document in Pages 09 was 168KB. If I add my 1 page document to the end of my 2 page document, the total size of the new document in Pages 09 is 200KB.
Here's the kicker: I had a 32-page Word 2004 document (plain text) that occupied 220KB of disk space. When I opened it in Pages and saved it as a Pages 09 doc, it was 160KB, which obviously is smaller than the Word doc, but also is smaller than the 2 page document I created with Pages 09! Obviously Pages is more efficient than Word with large documents, but a lot less efficient with small documents.
The problem is, many of us write a lot of small documents-- notes, letters, etc. I am concerned that my laptop's hard disk space (only 120 GB total) will get used up a lot quicker with Pages than with Word. This makes me very reluctant to use Pages on a regular basis.
(I can anticipate the response: Get a big hard drive and quit complaining! But still...).

Determining the Size of a Time Machine Backup File

When I highlight a Time Machine backup file and then click on Get Info under File to determine the size of the backup file, the disk drive works its heart out, but the Get Info window never arrives at a determination of the file size being seemingly stuck in the "calculating size" state.
Anybody have an idea of what's going on?

Regarding your statement: "If you Enter Time Machine (the "Star Wars" interface), from a Finder window with a "size" column, then browse your backups, you should be able to see the sizes easily." - what do you mean by the "Star Wars" interface?
Ah, you are new to Time Machine. Sorry, that's how you view and restore from your backups. Hold your mouse down on the TM icon in your Menubar and select +*Enter Time Machine,+* or click the TM icon in your Dock, or the +*Time Machine+* app in your Applications folder.
If I look at the pull-down menu under Finder, I do not see Enter Time Machine. Am I looking in the wrong place? Obviously, since I couldn't get by the first step, I never got to a "size" column, and to be honest, I don't know that I have ever seen a Finder window with a "size" column.
You can add one, by selecting View > as List, then View > Show View Options in a Finder window's menubar, and select or de-select whatever columns you want.
I'm a little embarrassed by my lack of knowledge, but if I don't acknowledge my shortcomings, I'll never get the question answered. Thanks for taking your time to try to help me.
Don't be. We all started at zero at one time or another.
I'm not sure just what you were looking for in your first post. The size of all your TM backups is just the amount used on your external disk, unless you have other data in the same partition (which isn't a good idea). Because of the way TM works, you can't really determine the size of an individual backup, and it really wouldn't mean much.
Perhaps if you clarified just what you want to know, we can help answer it.

Yes, that's for network backups only.
What can I do to make sure that the backups are OK?
You can tell if the File System (the various directories, catalogs etc.) is ok by repairing your backup drive, per #A5 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
You can "spot check" whether the Time Machine "Star Wars" display seems correct.
You can do a full system restore to another disk per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions, then start up from it and see if things are there and seem to work.
You can keep "secondary" backups (always a good idea). See #27 in the FAQ post for some suggestions.

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?

Is there a way to play an mp4 file at the beginning of a published project only when the project is accessed from a specific site?
A little background info. I use Captivate 7 and currently have over 100 projects that I maintain on a quarterly basis. I publish using the SWF format and upload the swf/htm files to a server where they are then accessed from a few locations (within our online documentation, in our software product, on two different websites). Many of the projects are linked so some will be viewed as a series and others viewed as a standalone video. Each video uses the same template and includes an intro and end slide. Now my organization wants to implement a new intro to all videos (those I publish and those from several groups across the organization). My current intros provide overview material for the specific video so the new intro, which is an animation with audio in mp4 format, would need to be placed at the start of each project. The issue is, the intro adds 9 seconds to every video and in many cases doesn’t add any value (say, if a user accesses the video from within our product or views the videos as a series). I’ve talked it over with my boss and we want to try to add the intro only to videos accessed from site X, not any other location. So now to my question. Is there a way to play an external mp4 file (intro) only when the published project is accessed from a specific site, therefore eliminating the need to update each project? Maybe there's a way to add a parameter or variable to the URL or the html code?
Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please let me know if you need additional information.

AimeeLove,
I have a solution for you. You may have to modify the code a little bit based on how long the timeline animation is for your clock. I based mine on 3 seconds to complete a minute hand sweep around the clock.
Milliseconds for each point on the clock:
12 = 0
1 = 250
2 = 500
3 = 750
4 = 1000
5 = 1250
6 = 1500
7 = 1750
8 = 2000
9 = 2250
10 = 2500
11 = 2750
In the mouseover section for 12 o' clock, put this code...
myVar = setInterval(function(){
     var pos = sym.getPosition();
     if (pos > 0 && pos < 50){
          sym.stop(0);
          clearInterval(myVar);
},10);
When you point to the time, the setInterval method loops every 100th of a second and checks the current position of the timeline. When the timeline reaches the range between 0 and 50 milliseconds (almost impossible to hit 1 specific point), the timeline will stop at 0. Also, the clearInterval will be fired to stop the loop.
In the mouseout section, put this...
sym.play();
clearInterval(myVar);
It start the clock again, and it also clears the loop in case you mouseout before you reach the range.
Make sure that myVar is a global variable so you can clear it from the mouseout section.
Repeat this for each point on the clock. To avoid potential conflicts, you may want to use my12, my1, my2, etc. instead of myVar. I put the milliseconds at the top that you would use as the beginning of the range. 50 milliseconds should be enough to catch it. So, for 5 o' clock, you would make your range between 1250 and 1300.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks!

Open Another Project - how do I set up the published files?

I created a Menu project that launches (via buttons) two other projects. Each of these other projects has a button to return to the Menu. I copied the published set of files to each of the Callees folders. So, Menu\Callees has Run 1 and Run 2 folders (all the published files) Run 1 and Run 2\Callees each have Menu folder with all the published files. Menu launches Run 1 and Run 2 fine but the Menu button on Run 1 and 2 works once, then I get this:
No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Users/Jeff/Documents/My%20Adobe%20Captivate%20Projects/menu%20test/Menu/callees /Run_1/callees/Menu/callees/Run_1/callees/Menu/index.html
Anyone have a simple explanation for how I should be setting up the published files?
Thanks so much,
Jeff

Thanks Rob,
Would running these from a web server resolve the file location problem I asked about? I tested the SWF version on my HD and got a similar error message (this time looking in the root directory, not the callees folder.) Can you point me to a reference re: how to set up files when running another project?
Thanks,
Jeff

Inform about the Size of the files stored in DMS as warning message

hi DMS Gurus,
We have a critical requirement of informing the users about the size of the file getting stored in SAP DMS, we need to inform the users the size of the file getting stored as this has a implication on flowing the documents in to remote Mobile device, and the concern is, any document above 2 MB would take much longer time or may not flow at all,
so we need this information available in DIR, so the user can have a choice to choose the file before sending it to Mobile device,
can i know if this file size is logged in SAP System anywhere?
Any suggestion is welcome
Thanks and regards,
Kumar

Hi Kumar,
normally the file size could be found in table DMS_PHF_CD1. You should be able to get the correct entry by using the LOIO- or PHIO-ID which can be obtained by report DMS_KPRO_READ. Other useful tables are DMS_PH_CD1, DMS_PHIO2FILES and DMS_DOC2LOIO.
Best regards,
Christoph

How to control the size of SVG images in epub files?

There is unfortunately no support for SVG files in InDesign.
Most of my images in jpg convertes nicely, but the small ones do not.
Therefore I want to use SVG files which I have created in Illustrator.
But how do I set the size in the epub file? Right now, whatever I do, they come out too big and I don't know how to control the size.
Is there a program, like Sigil or other, that can place the image for me - I'm no html wizard you see....

In any Java program, it is good practice to make sure your live objects leave some room in the heap for "scratch space." Without this, you will spend too much time in GC, and, in the worst cases, run out of memory. In the general case, you can see how much live data your application requires by looking at the heap used after a full GC's. For Coherence, you should ensure that live data, as you say, is under 70% of the maximum heap size.
Coherence provides you tools to help enforce this policy. [http://coherence.oracle.com/display/COH35UG/local-scheme] describes how to size limit your cache. By implementing an eviction policy, you can control what happens when a size limit is exceeded.

Is there a way to reduce the size of my PDF file, created (or I should say, Exported) in InDesign.

I created a 10-page sale flyer in InDesign CS5 which will be viewed on our website. When I export it as a PDF file, even with the compression at "minimum", the size is still 3.8 MB.
Is there a way to reduce the size of the PDF file? with InDesign or another tool out there?
Thanks for your help!

To expand a little on what Jongware said, normally choosing vector over bitmap will decrease the filesize. If the vector art is very complex though, this will not be true.
Yup, a logo as bitmap takes up more space than the same as a vector -- unless the vector image is bitmap heavy (think Drop Shadow, Outline Glow; these are actually bitmap effects).
Also, check your PDF version. "Older" versions do not support live transparency, the latest do. Then again, you cannot use live transparency if you suspect your viewers may be using Mac OS X, because Apple's own PDF viewer sucks big time.
