Air 3.9 for iOS - Increased file size of the executable?

Hi,
I've just exported a new release of my app with the new Air 3.9 SDK.
I've discovered that the file size of the .ipa is increased of 9MB (before it was 30, now it's 39...)
Looking into the Payload, I've found that the exutable itself is increased from 7 MB to 30 MB...
Is that possibile? Or am I doing something wrong?
I'm on FLEX SDK,
This is the adt command line (part of it):
adt
    -package
    -target
    ipa-app-store
    -hideAneLibSymbols
    yes
    -storetype
    pkcs12
This is the compiler arguments:
-target-player=11.9
+configname=airmobile
-library-path+="{flexSDK}/frameworks/locale/en_US"
-default-size=550,400
-locale=en_US,fr_FR,it_IT -source-path=locale/{locale}
-swf-version=22 -allow-source-path-overlap=true
-optimize=true
Thanks
Andrea

I would like to add that, packaging in -XVerbose mode, I found that some frameworks have been added to the package like MapKit. I'm using some ANEs, but none of them uses a MapKit framework.
Anyone know which are the frameworks actually being embedded inside the iOS packaging?
Thanks
A.

SetTimout doesn't work properly in AIR 2.7 for IOS

Hello,
I notice the setTimout() method does not work properly in AIR 2.7 for IOS.
Closure function isn't execute with the proper delay...
See bellow (Timeout.execute is a workaround -> http://www.displayobject.fr/2011/06/16/a-timeout-class-to-replace-settimeout-in-air-2-7-fo r-ios/)

Using Signal Express VI for DAQmx, timing & file size issues

I am using a Signal Express VI with my DAQmx. Long story short, my DAQmx VI's don't work in LV 8.6 (possibly IT installation error). I have a few issues (I'm a beginner so be easy).
First, I'm confused on how to get the timing correct. I am trying to read a 100 samples (2 channels) average them and repeat this at 30Hz and record this data.
Second, everytime I open the Signal Express VI (in my block diagram) and change sampling for example, click OK, then save my VI before running my program. I noticed the file on disk increased in size by the megabytes! All I changed were the sampling settings.
I appreciate any input, thanks in advance!

To your first concern, it sounds like DAQmx was installed before LabVIEW. Just reinstall DAQmx and it will work fine in LabVIEW.
For you second concern. To get 100 Samples at 30 Hz, you will need to change your channel setup in signal express. You will need Continuous Aquisition, with 100 Samples to Read at 3000 Hz. Then you code should work as expected.

QT X conversion increases file size

Now this maybe something that all versions of QT did but I never used QT before for converting movies as it took so **** long,I always used Visualhub.
I thought I'd give QT X a try and the speed seems to have improved but it increased the file size to almost double using the iphone optimization.
Space on an iphone/ipod is at a premium and they go and engineer a conversion that doubles the file size.
What is the point of that?
If I do the same conversion using VisualHub the file size stays the same.
Surely apple can do better than that

Here is the reply that I could swear I saw in this thread yesterday. It seems to have disappeared somehow...

LZW compression does not work on 16 bit TIFFs, it was never intended for this format. The TIFF format started out as 8 bit only together with LZW.
Basically all image compression exploits sequences of equal pixels. The chances of two pixels being equal goes to zero when increasing the resolution. After that you only add the overhead of the bookkeeping tables of the compression itself.

Converting to DNG without RAW embed increases file size...????

I convert all my Canon CR2 Raw files to DNG. I have recently noticed though that selected folders full of these DNGs are twice the file size of the original CR2. The thing is, I have never embedded the original CR2. My file sizes go from a little over 12M to 25M in the conversion. When testing to try to find the problem, I found that when I do embed the original that file size increases to 30M. If I try to go backwards, selecting a folder that contains the larger-than-normal DNGs, and I try to extract the original CR2, it tells me there is no original to extract. So from everything I can tell, these files are doubling in size for a reason other than the original Raw file being embedded. As far as I can tell, there also is no rhyme or reason to how some folders end up with normal file size DNGs, and others are double the file size....Anyone know?

Reed:
Why don't you use the lossless compression algorithm? Absolutely no data is lost. Not a single bit is changed. The image data is preserved EXACTLY. That is what "lossless" means--there is no loss at all. The "way you see it" is wrong.
The ONLY reason the uncompressed option is available at all is so simple third party utility programs can read the files if their programmers have not written the code to decode the lossess compression agorithm yet. Even this is less of an issue now since Adobe provides the free DNG SDK with source code that does this decoding.

How do I show file size in the Finder icon view for images?

How can I add the file size to the icon view "File Info" for images?
I know how to get it to display the image size under View Options. In this mode it shows pixel dimensions for some images (not for svg or pdfs tho) and file size for some non-images (rar, zip, but not txt or plain text files).
Is there some plist I can modify?

Just found the answer in a post with this subject:
How Do I Change the Mailbox Font Size in the Sidebar?

Is it best to upload HD movies from a camcorder to iMovie or iPhoto. iMovie gives the option for very large file sizes - presumably it is best to use this file size because the HD movie is then at its best quality?

Is it best to upload hd movie to iPhoto or iMovie? iMovie seems to store the movie in much larger files - presumably this is preferable as a larger file is better quality?

Generally it is if you're comparing identical compressors & resolutions but there's something else happening here. If you're worried about quality degrading; check the original file details on the camera (or card) either with Get Info or by opening in QuickTime and showing info. You should find the iPhoto version (reveal in a Finder) is a straight copy. You can't really increase image quality of a movie (barring a few tricks) by increasing file size but Apple editing products create a more "scrub-able" intermediate file which is quite large.
Good luck and happy editing.

Help!..CS4 IS INCREASING FILE SIZES.

Hi all
Wondered if anyone has had a problem with increased files sizes when opening a document up in Photoshop? Anything i open up is increased by two thirds in file size and i've no idea why ( e.g..8MB doc opens as 24MB doc)
What is even more strange is that it won't let me reduce a file size to anything under 1MB.
Has anyone ever come across this problem?...would appreciate any help.
Thanks
Bri

Hey Noel
Fair Play.
This is what is happening.
I’ve got a standard JPEG file that viewed in Explorer and Bridge reads as a 2.70MB (2838,796 bytes) file. Pixel dimensions 797x1000. Document size 6.75 x 8.47cm .Res 300 PPI.
When I open it in CS4 it reads 2.28MB. (This is the first thing I don’t understand)
Either way my simple( so I thought ) objective is to decrease the file size.
In the image size box I have re-set the resolution to 72ppi as I just need to post the image on a Website. My before and after calculations in the image Panel reads (was 2.28MB...now 134.3k)
Great! .this is what I want, However..... when I ‘save as’ and the JPEG compression box appears it has suddenly increased the file to 1.8MB Large file...and only allows me to reduce it to 1.7MB small file.
Admittedly this is not my area of expertise....I’m doing something wrong so any pointers would be much appreciated.

Flash Pro CS6にて「AIR 3.4 for iOS」で.ランタイム共有ライブラリの警告が出てしまう.

「Flash CS6」を、Windows 7(32bit)で利用しています。
現在、iOS用のAIRアプリを作成を試みておりますが、パブリッシュの際に下記の警告が出力ウィンドウに表示されます。
警告 : ランタイム共有ライブラリ (RSL) としてリンクされているライブラリがありません。原因となるパブリッシュ設定 : AIR 3.4 for iOS
設定は「AIR for iOS（3.4）」で、3.2としても同様の警告が現れます。
ipaファイルは正常？に作成されますので、それを登録済みのiPhoneやiPadにインストールし、起動することができます。
しかし、プログラムに記述したNativeExtension（NetworkInfoなど）の機能が動きません。。。
CS6上の「制御」→「ムービープレビュー」→「AIR Debug Launcher(モバイル)を使用」で動かすと、上記のNativeExtensionの機能が動いています。
上記のライブラリがリンクされていないことが原因かと思いますが、Flash CS6上でどのような設定を行えば、警告が出なくなるのでしょうか？
一応、実機でのインストールや起動も出来ますので、プロビジョニングファイルやp12ファイルは正しく設定できていると思いますが。
開発環境は以下の通りです。
・Flash Professional CS6
・Windows 7(32bit)
・AIR SDK：3.4 for iOS
ネット上を探してみましたが、手がかりがなく、困っております。
どなたかご存知の方がいらっしゃいましたら、よろしくお願いします。

Is there anything I can do to fix this?

I think you are hitting the GPU fullscreen bug in AIR 2.7(http://forums.adobe.com/message/3747867). It suspect it is not related to the scale mode that you are setting. To confirm, you could set the renderMode to cpu in your application xml. You should not be able to reproduce the bug.

Importing iPhone movies increases file size 3-4x

I imported clips from various sources into iMovie11, then I compared the files in the iMovie Events folder to the original files.
1. AVI movies are identical to the original files (file size and picture size - 640x480), regardless if I select "large 960x540" or "full size" when importing. So far so good.
2. However, Movies that were taken by iPhone 4 (MOV, original picture size 1280x720) end up 3-6x larger.
    2.1. If I select "full size" when importing, then the new file size is 6x larger than the original. (Picture size same as original, as expected.)
    2.2. If I select "large 960x540" then the new file size is still 3x larger than original. (Picture size shrinks to 960x540, as expected).
3. Same experiment with iPhone3 movies (MOV, original picture size 640x480)
    3.1 If I select "full size" then the file size is 3.5x larger than original.
    3.2 If I select "large 960x540" then the file size stays the same.
   (Picture size stays the same, 640x480 as expected in both cases.)
Now this is somehow consistent with the changes in movie format and data rate:
- In the cases 1 and 3.2 above, nothing changes from original to new (AVI format "motion jpeg open dml", MOV format "h.264").
- In the case 2 and 3.1, format changes from "h.264" to "Apple intermediary codec" and data rate goes up by a factor of 6 and 4, respectively.
FPS stays the same in all cases.
Can someone explain why it iMovie does this.
No segments of the new clips are duplicated, and they are not padded with gray or garbage like I've seen in other posts.
Thanks in advance

Motion JPEG is already an i-frame codec like DV or AIC so there is no advantage to converting to AIC. Each frame is a compressed JPEG.
I have some Motion JPEG that I received from a service that digitized some old 8MM film for me in 1080P. The Motion JPEG worked fine in iMovie.
The iPhone 3 created h.264 in smaller dimensions, like 640x480 (although I can't remember for sure). With smaller h.264 files, your Mac may have the processor power and memory to convert the h.264 on the fly as you render. For larger h.264 files like 720P and 1080P, most Macs do not have enough power, so you are better off converting to AIC.
So with the iPhone 3, you can make the choice yourself. You can convert them if you see a performance issue. Otherwise, edit them as is. To convert them, right-click on the Event, and choose "Optimize Media".

Increase File Size

After converting CR2 Raw files to Jpeg the size of the files is too small. How if possible Can one increase file size in Elements 9? Thanks

Why on earth do you want to have "larger" files?
JPG uses compression to reduce the size of the resulting files. If you're concerned about the picture quality because of JPG's lossy compression method, simply set the JPG "Quality" setting to its maximum.

Hi All, Can I access Adobe reader internal variables in my pdf? for example location, file size, creator etc.

Hi All, Can I access Adobe reader internal variables in my pdf? for example location, file size, creator etc. I want to create a hyperlink in my pdf $Location/another.pdf?

Thanks Gilad.
let me rephrase my requirement. I have a group of pdf files where one pdf has hyperlinks to the other pdfs
parent.pdf
-- child1.pdf
-- child2.pdf
when I click on the child hyperlink I want the child.pdf to be displayed in another window/reader
If I have the hyperlink as file:./child1.pdf it does not work. It needs a complete path.
So when I create this file in MSWord first, Can I artificially create a placeholder for the directory and append the child.pdf?
suppose the properties say Location = /tmp/pdfs/
can I have in the hyperlink something like file:/$Location/child.pdf and when reader is used it substitutes the url
so I get file:/tmp/pdfs/child.pdf
Hope I explained this.
thanks
-Francis
OK, let me have a very simple requirement. Can I create a pdf and when I open it
there is one line that says - This File is in xxx directory.
where xxx is the directory name where the file is. If I have the file in /tmp then it should say This file is in /tmp directory
and if I copy it to /other then open it, it should say This file is in /other directory.

A great tip for reducing PDF file sizes (e.g. from scanned images)

I just found, and used this tip and was so impressed I had to share it!
http://www.hoboes.com/Mimsy/hacks/quality-reduced-file-size/
By the way, you can also easily combine pdfs using preview. Open the 'main' one that will be your final file. Go to View -> Sidebar. Drag the other pdfs that you want to join right into the side bar. It will just stack them on. Then save.

Since a while DIAdem optimizes the size of exported PDF-files in a related way as it is suggested here. In principle the PDF-file is exported in a very high resolution, so you can display it in a reader with a very high zoom value (e. g. 6000 %) to look into details of your data. If you have a huge dataset, this could lead in fact to a bigger file size, if data points could be displayed because the high PDF-resolution. But in general, DIAdem only saves information in a PDF-file which is really necessary - but with a high resolution.

Reduce the file size of the spotify ipad/iphone install to speed up load times

i love spotify, i do, but over the last few months, it's been taking longer and longer to start. i've also noticed the download size has been slowly increasing. can you folks do some code optimisation to reduce it's install footprint and perhaps then it might take less time to load and i can get to playing music quicker. the increased file size would suggest there are additional features being added, but to no real benefit.it's fast to load on my htc m8s, but can take 30 seconds to load on my ipad mini (model a1432)

Updated: 2015-08-04Hello and thanks for the feedback!
Since Spotify developers naturally always try to optimize the app (speed, load up times, etc), I'll refer you to a similar idea about a Spotify Lite version for all mobile apps: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Mobile-Spotify-Lite-Version-for-Mobile-Apps/idi-p/1133920
Please add your kudos and comments there. ;)
