File Size Shown in Folio Producer

Hi,
Is there currently a way to see the entire download file size of an app in Folio Producer? If not, this would be a helpful feature in another version of DPS, especially with the increased folio sizes with the new iPad.

I would suspect you moved the .mov file, but at some point in processing and saving things you have failed to note that the .mov file should be saved as a "self contained" movie, so that the actual movie content is left somewhere on your hard-drive. The .mov file will play on the computer, because it is pointing to the location of the content, which is accessed and used, but when you move (or try to) the .mov file, the content is left behind on the hard drive, and only the container is moved. Thus there is nothing TO play in the new location, there is just the container with no content.

File size limitation for folios?

Hi, is there a known limitation of file size for a folio. I try to distribute a folio with 1,7 GB via acrobat.com / folio producer.
Direct testing an a Android device (Samsung Galaxy) works (local folio), but downloading from acrobat.com fails.

I see. That’s still absolutely huge.
You might consider breaking it into more manageable parts.

Can I tell the file size of my .folio without an iPad?

I've been searching everywhere for this answer, but alas, it has escaped me. How can I tell the file size of my .folio? I'm sure this is really simple. I'd like to be able to see the final file size of my folio without an iPad.

I think if you log into acrobat.com, you should see your folio there, too.
You see the article sizes and may be able to add them together.
Be catuous, editing your folio through acrobat.com might break it.

Incorrect file sizes shown in Finder over NFS and permissions issues

Hi there
This is a problem that existed for me in Leopard and has not been resolved in Snow Leopard.
I have an XSan with a Leopard server sharing over NFS and AFP. When I connect from a Leopard or Snow Leopard client over NFS the file sizes in Finder are incorrectly displayed. My Tiger clients work perfectly.
Also, although it says I have read write access to the files over NFS I cannot save over an existing file when I make changes to it, I instead have to create a new version of it and remove the old one.
Check the link to show a grab of one of the folders in question, the upper window is what the NFS shows me, the lower AFP. If you Get Info on the files over either connection the byte count is identical.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

This is a problem that existed for me in Leopard and has not been resolved in Snow Leopard.
Have you filed a bug report with Apple?
http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
If not, there's less of a chance they'll know about it and help fix it for you.
Do things look OK from the command line in Terminal?
It would probably be useful to use a tool like Wireshark to check out what each protocol is sending over the wire. That could at least narrow it down to being a client or server issue.
Thanks

File sizes shown to be twice as big in Finder

I work with 2 different Mac Pro towers. The one at my home has Photoshop cs4 and the one at my studio has Photoshop cs6. The other day I noticed that Finder on my studio computer shows the file size to be twice as big as the finder on my home computer. The pixel dimension size doesn't change, just the file size. It shows up that way after I save it on my studio computer. If I take that file home and resave it on that computer then the Finder shows the smaller file size again. I guess the questions I have are: Is the file size is actually increasing and if so, what could be causing that to happen? Photoshop shows the files to be the same size, but in the Finder window is where I see the difference. Holla!!

Sounds like you have "Maximize Compatibility" enabled in the Photoshop which saves the bigger files, and have it disabled in the other Photoshop.
See the control in Preferences > File Handling.

10.4.3 File Size Shown Incorrectly in Finder Window

Tiger 10.4.3 --- Sometimes file sizes don't display correctly in Finder windows. For example, I was just downloading a bunch of large files from an FTP site. They were all 44.1Mb in size. After they finished DL'ing, some of the file sizes showed a much smaller file size. But cmd-I on those files and the correct size is displayed.
Some of these files show up with the correct size, but only after waiting a loooong time...
Can anyone tell me why don't file sizes show up correctly? Or immediately? Any help will be appreciated!

Is this causing any problems, or is it just a quirky behavior? For example, if you change to list view and sort by date, does it still get the dates wrong?
I'm thinking this is probably a really marginal bug, where Composer isn't telling the Finder to refresh the date as most applications do, but then, Mozilla does a lot of unMaclike things. Eventually the Finder figures out that the files have been updated though. There are probably a host of ways you can force it to update, as you've already discovered. You can also force it to update with a simple AppleScript:
tell application "Finder"
update every item of window 1
end tell
This tells the Finder to update everything in the frontmost window to match what's on the disk.

Incorrect QuickTime file size shown in Finder

I have a few QuickTime movies that I moved out of Aperture in order to move back into the newest iPhoto. When I attempted to sync my iPhoto library with my iPhone, the videos would not sync, so I investigated further and found that while they play perfectly fine under both iPhoto and in QuickTime 7 and QuickTime X, the file size in Finder is showing each movie as only a few KB in size, when in fact they are dozens of MBs in size.
What the heck is going on? Permissions repair did nothing, I can't think of what else to try.

I would suspect you moved the .mov file, but at some point in processing and saving things you have failed to note that the .mov file should be saved as a "self contained" movie, so that the actual movie content is left somewhere on your hard-drive. The .mov file will play on the computer, because it is pointing to the location of the content, which is accessed and used, but when you move (or try to) the .mov file, the content is left behind on the hard drive, and only the container is moved. Thus there is nothing TO play in the new location, there is just the container with no content.

Why is there a difference in file size shown for QT files?

After creating a self-contained QT file, it displays in the folder window as 8.5GB, even though I know it has to be much larger, and when I check "Get Info" on the file, it displays as 16.5GB. Has this happened with anyone else? This has happened multiple times for me recently.

Close the folder window and re-open it. Is it now showing the correct size?
Sometimes the finder windows don't refresh properly when they are open and you add a file.

Folio file size limit

In the past their were file size limits for folios and folio resources. I believe folios and their resources could not go over 100MB.
Is their a file size limit to a folio and its resources? What is the limit?
What happens if the limit is exceeded?
Dave

Article size is currently capped at 2GB. We've seen individual articles of up to 750MB in size but as mentioned previously you do start bumping into timeout issues uploading content of that size. We're currently looking at implementing a maximum article size based on the practical limitations of upload and download times and timeout values being hit.
This check will be applied at article creation time and you will not be allowed to create articles larger than our maximum size. Please note that we are working on architecture changes that will allow the creation of larger content but that will take some time to implement.
Currently to get the best performance you should have all your content on your local machine (Not on a network drive), shut down any extra applications, get the fastest machine you can, with the most memory. The size of article is direclty proportional to the speed at which you can bundle an article and get it uploaded to the server.

Large folio file size

We are half way through a book that comprises 100 single page articles. However it is already nearly 500 MB and this isn't sustainable.
Does the following affect the file size:
Is the Folio file size affected by the number of individual articles, would it be smaller if we had stacks of say 10 articles each with 10 pages rather than 100 single pages?
Every page has a two picture (JPG) object state, the first image is an extreme elargement of the image that visible only for a about a second before the full frame image appears. Each page has a caption using Pan overlay that can be dragged into the page using a small tab.Does an Object State increase the file size over and above the images contained within it?
We have reduced the JPGs to the minimum acceptable quality and there is no video in the Folio.
Any ideas would be much appreciated?

800 MB worth of video sounds crazy.
Of course, a high number of videos can bring you to that.
I saw bigger dps apps. I think the apple limit lies around 4 gb (remember,
that is more than 25% of a whole 16 gb iPad)
The mp4 video codec does a really good job while keeping the quality high.
And the human eye is more forgiving to quality when it comes to moving
images compared to still imagery.
I wrote a collection of tipps and ideas how to reduce your file size.

Annoying but not fatal bug uncovered in Aperture file size metadata.

The bug described below was found as a result of testing the relative print sharpness of the Aperture print routines. I printed an adjusted Canon 5D image with Aperture's print routine to a 4X6, 300ppi print output, then took the same image through P'shop, (as a PSD) downsized the file to the same dimensions and converted it to 8-bit color depth. Then printed the returned file through Aperture.
To my surprise when I was performing this comparison, I found that the file size shown in the metadata panel of the test file was not reduced, even though I had significantly downsized the file (from an "outbound" 72.2GB to an "inbound" file of slightly less than 7GB. So I repeated the round trip to P'shop, using the OSX Inspector to examine the relevant .approject size at three points in the workflow:
1) Before executing the "Open in External Editor" command;
2) After the PSD version had been created by Aperture; and
3) After re-sizing the file in P'Shop and saving it back to Aperture.
The net of the test was as follows:
1) The size of the base (pre-export) .approject increased by approximately 72.2GB when it created the 16-bit PSD file for export to P'shop - exactly what the metadata showed and what I expected for a 5D file at 16-bit color depth.
2) When the resized file was returned from P'shop, the base .approject file was now only 7.5GB larger, indicating the size of the returned file was in fact reduced by the downsizing.
So the problem is not creation of an abnormally large Aperture PSD file. The metadata file size is simply not updated when the downsized file is returned from P'shop.
I submitted a bug report to Apple on this, but I'm not sure what priority it will get. So this is an FYI in case others have observed a similar phenomenon and been concerned about it.
BTW: The file downsized via the P'Shop round trip was noticeably sharper on printing (from Aperture) than the print produced directly out of Aperture. So it appears the print output sharpening routines in Aperture still need considerable improvement. That's the improvement I'd rather have Apple spending their time on than an anoying but not fatal bug in file size metadata.

I was trying to imagine how you were managing taking more than a few photographs if your files were increasing the space take by 72GB a pop.
I was also imagining a camera the size of an aircraft carrier.

File size display issue in DM 2?

I'm seeing some flakiness in the file sizes shown in the new Desktop Manager. I have a nominal 8GB card, which DM shows as 7.5GB. It shows 778MB Used, 5.6GB Music and 16384PB free (a petabyte is 10^6 gigabytes, so this is 16,385,000 terabytes).

Finder often takes it time updating the file size. When the ZIP starts, it creates a small file, because it doesn't know how big the result will be. When it finishes, it closes the file with the correct size, but is neglecting the sending of a notification to the Finder, so the old file size is still displayed. When you do something that forces the finder to look at the file again, it corrects the display of the file size.
(The large size is correct, because MPEG, MP#, JPEG, etc. files are already compressed, so cannot be compressed much more.)

Bloated PDF Export File Size

I just exported a 2 page file that contained 3 graphics and
text. The file was an 493K in size and could not be made any
smaller using Adobe Pro 7.0. This is amazingly large since the old
Buzzword graphic PDF output was 393K. I then exported the file as a
Word document and then printed a PDF output using Adobe Pro 7.0 and
the file was only 95K.
This new PDF export feature is a disappointment. It produces
way larger file sizes than any PDF produced by an Adobe desktop
application. Why is it so inefficient?

RLarimore,
Sorry to hear about your disappointment about this feature.
This problem is known and I think Adobe/Buzzword team would be
improving it in future releases (though I don't know their
time-line or feature priority). This was the first cut
implementation of this feature - and nobody knew what folks would
want to see improved first. I guess now we know :).
What would most likely be the problem: Fonts embedded inside
the PDF are subset-embedded but not fully optimized and that would
have led to big size. Fonts are difficult beasts to tame, and I am
sure they would be tamed someday.

Image size vs file size

Hello,
I would very much appreciate an answer to the follwing: When I save a file to jpeg the image size in photoshop remains the same as it was as a tiff file BUT according to the information that comes up in windows properties the file is much smaller (300k vs 2.9mg). Can you advise me which is the correct file size? If the correct size is the one showing in windows (300K) does mean that the file compressed in JPG and lost a lot of information? and if this is the case how can I prevent that from happening and still save the file as a JPG? [ I would like the image to remain the size photoshop shows it to be] . Thank you very much.

The file size of the JPG on disk is 300kb this is because it is heavily compressed.
The file size shown in Photoshop is uncompressed and appears at the larger size.
Yes, compressing loses information but it may not lose much quality the first time it is compressed.
To minimise data loss use a compressed TIFF format.
Or stop worrying about file size – storage space is cheap!
The only time JPEGs should be used is for display on the web.
In fact for general use in Adobe applications, the PSD format is fine. (As long as it lasts! )

Folio download file size in Folio Producer possible to view?

Is there a way to see how large in MBs a folio is inside of Folio Producer without or before you actually download it to the iPad?
