DIR File Size

I have a DIR file coming in at a massive 280MB!
yes you heard right, 280MB!
it has approx 150 - 1024x768 images (maybe a little less) all
alpha fading.
Now I have done the "save as" and the "save and compact"
methods, even gone trough every image and used fireworks to
compress each image down futher, but this only seems to take 1MB
off the 280MB???
I am just wondering is there anyway I can get the file size
down?
could I try linking the images and not importing them into
the DIR file?
any help would be great as im all out of ideas after spending
an hour or two compressing each image!

1) I suggest putting (a large number of) the images in
external casts.
2) When you import an image with compression (like a jpeg
file) into
Director, it also keeps the uncompressed version (perhaps
because when D
first came out it was expensive in time for computers to
uncompress images).
When you create a projector or shockwave movie or protect a
cast, it
discards the uncompressed data.
3) With a file that size, it is definitely a good idea to
make backups. Do
one now.

Projector and dir file size grow 7X unexpectedly - dcr remains the same.

I’m updating a Shockwave project that is also available
for download (so size matters and I’ve got a dcr and exe of
the same project). Last year the file sizes were as follows: dir =
933kb, dcr = 203kb, exe = 4,857kb … all reasonable. I started
with last year’s file, eliminated numerous redundant scripts
and cast members (including an unused font), combined the
functionality of scripts that were similar, streamlined the
operation of other scripts, updated some internal data, replaced
the one and only bmp with a new one for this year (same size),
saved and compacted … and for all my effort to clean up this
year’s version I get the following: dir = 33.9Mb, dcr =
224kb, exe = 37.5Mb The xtras are an obvious suspect but I went
down the list and they’re the same as last year, the only
outside xtra being POM (which hasn’t changed since 2006) I
recompiled last year’s project and the sizes were still
reasonable, so Director isn’t broke. Anyone know what's up?
PS: I made a dummy copy of this year's movie, elminated
everything (all sprites, all cast members, all xtras), save and
compact, and the dir file is still 33Mb?!?!?
PPS: Well, I copied everything into a fresh document, spent
about an hour making sure scripts not attached to sprites didn't
get left behind, re-attached the required xtras, and now I'm back
down to a 4.4Mb projector but I'm not sure why.

Thanks Mike. The odd thing is the results above were after a
“save and compact” (as a matter of habit I always
compact). Even with everything stripped out of the file I
couldn’t get Director to jettison whatever garbage had gotten
lodged in. On the plus side, moving the cast and score to a fresh
document not only cured the problem but also allowed me to
eliminate some legacy xtras that were no longer being used (this
project has been updated yearly since 2002).
PS: Flash's memory and file size audit report is really nice
for trouble shooting this kind of problem, it would be nice if
Director gets the same feature.

A column in a table has physical file path (I want to get file size of those docs from the OS)

Experts!!
I have a table that holds the physical file path of files in one of its columns. It does not give a link, just the physical file path.
For example,---- C:\bu\test.pdf and let us say the file size is kb according to the OS.
Is there any way I can obtain the file size of the files from the physical path?
for example, the file size of the test.pdf file in the example here using t-SQL?
Much Appreciation

Hey there... thanks for the response......I found the following as a solution for my problem. But my problem is the SP created using the method needs a directory as a parameter. How can I pass the directory from a table that holds my directory?
EXEC [dbo].[GetListOfFileWithSize](@Dir)
How do I pass the directory from my table?

How to get file size and name from a directory in 1.1.8

Hello
I am trying to get a list of files and their sizes in
1.1.8.i am compelled to use this,since the version
our company use is 1.1.8. i could successfully
resolve this in 1.3. using listfiles option.
can anybody suggest me how
to work on this in 1.1.8
Thanks

if everything else fails try:
File dir = //your directory
String file = //the name of a file
FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(new File(dir, file));
System.out.println("Size of " + file + " (in bytes) is " + in.available());Cheers,

File size reported reported differently

Can someone help me explain why this file size is reported differently depending whether you list file or folder properties:
This is an Azure Basic_A1 VM. Drive E: is standard VHD attached to the VM (Page Block Storage).
This is an active/open file that is currently being written to, and is growing in size.
How is it that file size is reported as 8 GB if you query the folder, and 24 GB if you query the file?

Powershell: Learn it before it's an emergency http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/powershell.aspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scriptcenter/dd793612.aspx

I ran this script for the last 8 or so hours out of this 19 hour upload:
$Folder = "e:\Backups\Sam Client\To Azure Page Block Repository"
$Log = "c:\Sandbox\Upload4.csv"
Write-Output '"FileQuery","FolderQuery","Time"' | Out-File $Log
Do {
$a = (dir "$Folder\To Azure Page Block Repository2014-09-23T051450.vbk").length/1GB
$b = (dir $Folder)[1].length/1GB
cls
Write-Host "File size reported from file list: $('{0:N2}' -f $a) GB" -ForegroundColor Green
Write-Host "File size reported from folder list: $('{0:N2}' -f $b) GB" -ForegroundColor Yellow
dir $Folder | FT -AutoSize
Write-Output """$a"",""$b"",""$(Get-Date -Format 'hh:mm:ss tt')""" | Out-File $Log -Append
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
} while ($a -ne $b)
That collected over 3,000 sampling points that are 10 seconds apart. I then graphed that data:
The vertical axis is file size in GB, the horizontal axis is time (not directly - it's sampling points)
And you can see file size as reported by folder query lags behind file size as reported by file query. The amount of lag was upwards of 90GB at its highest point. And it took anywhere from roughly 5 minutes to 3 hours for 1 indicator to catch up with the
other.
The question is why these two sets of numbers are different? Is there caching going on somewhere? Is one indicator accounting for all file blocks while the other is accounting for committed blocks only? Can someone from Microsoft shed some light on this?
This is important to know to be able to plan disk space requirements when attempting to use Azure as backup target with large data sets regardless of the software used.

XML File size changed

Hi, All:
I wondering why the XML file size changed after go through DB using CLOB. The original size is 1KB, but after I use the PUT and GET method, the size changed to 8KB. There is a lot of space appened to the content.
Thanks a lot!

Can you provide an example of the code you are using for the put / get method. In SQL*PLUS I do not see what you are talking about

Log file size in Sun Directory Server

Does anyone have an idea about the how the Sun Directory Server's log file size will increase in size with respective to the actions performed?
Can someone give a data regarding this? If someone has a better scenario and the supportive data w.r.t log file size it will be helpful.
Thanks,

AFAIK No its based on time "At a certain time, or after a specified interval, the server rotates your access logs. "
More info in Archiving Log Files in [http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/820-7985/gczxv?l=en&a=vie]
It should be easy to write such a script to be run as a daemon in logs directory. Here is the pseudo code :
while [1]
do
get size of the access/error log file
If size of file > max_size
<ws-install-dir>/https-<instance>/bin/rotate
sleep for sometime
done

Firewall config file size

I am trying to upload config file size of 14MB on ASA 5550.I know pix can go upto maximum 2 MB as recommended by Cisco,but for ASA there is no document I could find about the recommended size.When i am uploading 14 MB on ASA is crashing.Can anybody suggest how to go abt this file size.

Hi,
Are you trying to upload all config file including images/packages or just the config itself? What error messages did you see and whether the device crash during upload or after reboot (with the new config)? What is the available space?
Have you check the cache?
Hostname(config-webvpn)# dir cache:/
Tried to increase the cache?
Hostname(config-webvpn)# cache-fs limit [size from 1MB to 32MB]
Regards,

What is the available space in the FLASH?

File size doesn't update

On my Win 2008 SP2 Enterprise x64 system I have a ftp application I'm running. It is downloading a file. When I look at the file in Windows Explorer or with the DOS dir command the file size + last modify time aren't current and can be many hours
old.
If I then look at the file properties via right click and Properties I see the same. Close the Properties box, exit the folder, then go back to the folder and the file size/modify time are correct.
The drive is set to "optimize for quick removal" (cache disabled) and if I'm downloading several files the size discrepancy can be several GB - more than my system RAM. The folder isn't shared. Shadow copies is disabled.
Event logs show no problem and saving to a different disk doesn't resolve it.
Thoughts?

Hi Dennies,
Here is the result I got:
It is not a bug, but rather just the way that NTFS works.
The file IS getting updated, but the file Size is just not being updated along with it until some outside event forces a refresh of the file size on disk (F5 or file completion)

PDF File Size - any way to compress further?

We have are using the Crystal for .NET export method to export a report to a .pdf file, and are having an issue with the pdf file size on a report that contains images. The images are stored in a SQL2005 database as blob or varbinary(max). The report executes a stored procedure that selects data (including images) to produce a quotation. There are input parms to decide which images to print (for example A, B or both A&B). Both types of images can appear at the line level on the quotation. Type A images print in the main report, Type B images are in a subreport. Both the main report & subreport execute a stored procedure to select an image type.
Our issue, when both Type A and B image is selected to print on a 293 line quote. The PDF file size is 44.23MB
When Type A only is selected, the PDF file size is 2.64MB
When Type B only is selected, the PFD file size is 43.95MB.
There are more Type B images that would print at the line level than Type A, but is there any way to compress this down further as it is too large to email.

You mention that you are using Crystal for .NET, but not what version; CR for .NET 2003, 2005, 2008. 2010?
Applying the latest fixes for the correct version of CR would be the first thing to do.
Next, I'd have a close look at image B as it appears to be the one adding the most "bulk". How is this image different from image A?
General tips re. images:
Save the files a BMPs.
When .jpg image is inserted into Crystal Reports it is converted into bitmap format and as the result of the conversion the report may loose some quality, scale and other issues may arise... E.g.; Crystal Reports is not so good a graphics management tool
When an image is saved as a .bmp, then there is no conversion required and thus the quality of the image should be preserved.
Best practice: save the image with high resolution and required size as a .bmp format then insert this image into Crystal Reports.
Resize the image to the smallest possible size and downgrade the DPI to 72. This will ensure your image is as small as possible and Crystal Reports will have to put in the least amount of work to display it.
Have a look ar KB [1241630 - Exporting a Crystal report (XI) to PDF generates a big PDF file|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233343331333633333330%7D.do]. This KB, may apply to your version of CR, or not. In any case, you will have to use the KB as a guide and determine what the appropriate registry entry would be for your version of CR.
One more thing. Many people like to use jpg files as they are smaller than bmp files. However, as far as Crystal Reports is concerned, this is inconsequential. The report file will be the same size if a file is inserted as a jpg or a bmp. This is due to the jpg conversion to bmp Crystal Reports does internally.

How can I use one background jpeg in my ebook without a large file size

I'm guessing that by simply adding a background image or watermark by default adds a separate copy to each page. Since I am intending for them to be the same on all pages except for the title page, how do I shrink the final file size of my PDF eBooks so that the image is stored once but shown on all pages?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, I understand, yeah, I knew that, my phone is factory unlocked and I am going home, which is obviously not in the States and I am thinking of buying a local carrier there. However, I still have 2 weeks before I leave and cannnot wait to start using my Iphone 4. I thought at least I could use the mp3 player function. So as far as I understand, I cannot activate it without a sim card. I have been using metropcs for about two years and it does not have a sim card. In this case, do I really not have another choice but wait for two weeks to listen to music? My Mp3 player just failed me and I really need to listen to music but on the other hand, while I can use my iphone as an mp3 player in two weeks, I don't want to spend more money on a new one. So, do you have another suggestion? For instance, can I use a friend's sim card to activate mine? Would this cause any trouble, when I go home and buy a local carrier? I think these questions might kinda sound weird to you, but first time with an Iphone, extremely excited to start using under my circumstances, I need help thanks,

Note: this is a copy and update of a 5 year old discussion in the Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard discussions which you can find here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/6109398#6109398
This is a simple and free solution I found to reduce the file size of PDFs in OS X, without the high cost and awful UI of Acrobat Pro, and with acceptable quality. I still use it every day, although I have Acrobat Pro as part of Adove Creative Cloud subscription.
Since quite a few people have found it useful and keep asking questions about the download location and destination of the filters, which have changed since 2007, I decided to write this update, and put it in this more current forum.
Here is how to install it:
Download the filters here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/41548940/PDF%20compression%20filters%20%28Un zip%20and%20put%20in%20your%20Library%20folder%29.zip
Unzip the downloaded file and copy the filters in the appropriate location (see below).
Here is the appropriate location for the filters:
This assumes that your startup disk's name is "Macintosh HD". If it is different, just replace "Macintosh HD" with the name of your startup disk.
If you are running Lion or Mountain Lion (OS X 10.7.x or 10.8.x) then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services". This folder should already exist and contain files. Once you put the downloaded filters there, you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/PDF Services/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
If you are running an earlier vesion of OS X (10.6.x or earlier), then you should put the downloaded filters in "Macintosh HD/Library/Filters" and you should have for example one file with the following path:
"Macintosh HD/Library/Filters/Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION.qfilter"
Here is how to use it:
Open a PDF file using Apple's Preview app,
Choose Export (or Save As if you have on older version of Mac OS X) in the File menu,
Choose PDF as a format
In the "Quartz Filter" drop-down menu, choose a filter "Reduce to xxx dpi yyy quality"; "Reduce to 150 dpi average quality - STANDARD COMPRESSION" is a good trade-off between quality and file size
Here is how it works:
These are Quartz filters made with Apple Colorsinc Utility.
They do two things:
downsample images contained in a PDF to a target density such as 150 dpi,
enable JPEG compression for those images with a low or medium setting.
Which files does it work with?
It works with most PDF files. However:
It will generally work very well on unoptimized files such as scans made with the OS X scanning utility or PDFs produced via OS X printing dialog.
It will not further compress well-optimized (comrpessed) files and might create bigger files than the originals,
For some files it will create larger files than the originals. This can happen in particular when a PDF file contains other optomizations than image compression. There also seems to be a bug (reported to Apple) where in certain circumstances images in the target PDF are not JPEG compressed.
What to do if it does not work for a file (target PDF is too big or even larger than the original PDF)?
First,a good news: since you used a Save As or Export command, the original PDF is untouched.
You can try another filter for a smaller size at the expense of quality.
The year being 2013, it is now quite easy to send large files through the internet using Dropbox, yousendit.com, wetransfer.com etc. and you can use these services to send your original PDF file.
There are other ways of reducing the size of a PDF file, such as apps in the Mac App store, or online services such as the free and simple http://smallpdf.com
What else?
Feel free to use/distribute/package in any way you like.

Thanks ioscar.
The original link should be back online soon.
I believe this is a Dropbox error about the traffic generated by my Dropbox shared links.
I use Dropbox mainly for my business and I am pretty upset by this situation.
Since the filters themsemves are about 5KB, I doubt they are the cause for this Dropbox misbehavior!
Anyway, I submitted a support ticket to Dropbox, and hope everything will be back to normal very soon.
In the meantime, if you get the same error as ioscar when trying to download them, you can use the link in the blog posting he mentions.
This is out of topic, but for those interested, here is my understanding of what happened with Dropbox.
I did a few tests yesterday with large (up to 4GB) files and Dropbox shared links, trying to find the best way to send a 3 hour recording from French TV - French version of The Voice- to a friend's 5 year old son currently on vacation in Florida, and without access to French live or catch up TV services. One nice thing I found is that you can directly send the Dropbox download URL (the one from the Download button on the shared link page) to an AppleTV using AirFlick and it works well even for files with a large bitrate (except of course for the Dropbox maximum bandwidth per day limit!). Sadly, my Dropbox shared links were disabled before I could send anything to my friend.
I may have used a significant amount of bandwidth but nowhere near the 200GB/day limit of my Dropbox Pro account.
I see 2 possible reasons to Dropbox freaking out:
- My Dropbox Pro account is wronngly identified as a free account by Dropbox. Free Dropbox accounts have a 20GB/day limit, and it is possible that I reached this limit with my testing, I have a fast 200Mb/s internet access.
- Or Dropbox miscalculates used bandwidth, counting the total size of the file for every download begun, and I started a lot of downloads, and skipped to the end of the video a lot of times on my Apple TV.

My premiere project file size just went from 190MB to 5.61GB... and now it won't open! Anyone know how this happened?

My premiere project file size just went from 190MB to 5.61GB... and now it won't open! Anyone know how this happened? Or how to prevent it from happening again? Thankfully I saved a backup project of the 190MB file size.

warp stabiliser?

Is the file size of a selected image shown on Adobe Bridge CC 2014? If so, where?

Is the file size of a selected image among the filter categories? Or anywhere else? I know I can find it in Photoshop, but that is cumbersome.

The file size is shown in the Metadata panel.
You can not filter on file size but you can sort by file size.
