IChat filter .PNG image on jabber protocol

Hi everybody,
Is there any reason why ichat filter .PNG images send through iChat server (in default setup on new macmini server)
If we send .png file format we receive empty bubble always.
With Best Regard
Marek Weisskopf

on lion .png images also not transfered thru ichat why?

  • How to use iChat to register a new Jabber Account

    I work in an office with all Macs and we'd like to begin using iChat for intra-office messaging. Many of us already have AIM accounts, but we'd like to keep internal office communication strictly internal. We have a computer running Parallels Server and I've downloaded some different Jabber virtual appliances. The difficulty is that when I try to connect from iChat I'm continually prompted for a password.
    Now, I've read that Jabber needs an account to be "registered" and several messaging clients (Psi, Adium, etc) support that registration process. What I'd like to know is either:
    a) How can one use iChat to perform the Jabber account registration process?
    or
    b) Is there another suggested piece of software that could be used by an administrator or one individual that could complete that process so that clients could use iChat?
    That ought to do it.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    With the exception of the Get a iChat Screen Name button in the First pane of Add an Account ichat has no other way to Register any name.
    AN MobileMe name from Apple, an AIM Name for the AIM site or a Google Name all require that you register via a web Browser on a site.
    Some Other Jabber servers also allow you to do this but on the whole it needs something like Psi or AdimuX that have the Jabber Registration module.
    However if you are using OX Server then the Tiger and Leopard version have an iChat Server (which is a Jabber Server) on which Accounts can be set up.

  • How to convert 24bits png image into 8 bits image

    Hi,
    I have gone through some of threads in this forum on changing color bits. But, I still can find right way to change my image (24bits) into different color bits(8 bits). The reason i want to change the color bits because I am getting a GIF image from map server, convert it into PNG format then rescale then into size of mobile phone screen.The PNG image is really has large data length , so the it took a while to load the whole image on screen.
    Note : The following code is taken from few threads in this forum and i have modified it to suit my application.
    I have no idea about Java2d...any help really appreciated...Thanks in advance!!!
    My code is as follow:-
    public File Scale(int width, int height, BufferedImage ImgSrc)
         try
                   //BufferedImage bi = ImageIO.read(ImgSrc);
                   //int w = bi.getWidth(), h = bi.getHeight();
         //Image oldRescale = bi.getScaledInstance(i, j, Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
         BufferedImage Rescale = rescale(ImgSrc, width, height);
                   //ColorSpace cs = ColorSpace.getInstance(ColorSpace.CS_GRAY);
                   //ColorConvertOp op = new ColorConvertOp(cs, null);
                   //Rescale = op.filter(Rescale, null);
         File outfile = new File("map.png");
                   ImageIO.write(Rescale, "png", outfile);
                   BufferedImage fromFile = ImageIO.read(outfile);
                   ColorModel cm = fromFile.getColorModel();
                   System.out.println(cm.getClass() + ", bits/pixel=" + cm.getPixelSize());
              catch(Exception e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return new File("map.png");

    First, we need to be clear about what you're trying to do -- is it rescale an
    image or insure that the image is saved with a 8bit pixel depth? Or both? You are also
    using GraphicsConfiguration's createCompatibleImage, which is excellent if you are going
    to display the image immediately because it might be hardware accelerated
    or compatible with hardware format, but you mentioned mobile phone screens, so
    there is no advantage to using GraphicsConfiguration in that case, and if fact, it's
    probably changing your ColorModel when you're not looking.

  • Applying filters to PNG Images

    Hi
    I would like to know how to implement filters or Operators such as Alpha filtering,LookupOp,ConvolveOp (or any kind of filter which makes the image blur or partially transparent) to a PNG Image and then revert back to the original image.
    Thanks,Laksh

    1. Have you tried doing the tutorial?
    2. What do you mean by "revert back to the original image" -- are you trying to find filters that are the inverse of other filters?
    Here's a demo. I create a buffered image, write it out to a png file and read it back in.
    Then I convert its type (the blur filter didn't want to work, otherwise!!). I run the
    image through the filter and save it to another file, displaying the images along the way.

  • How to turn off PNG Images

    How to turn off PNG Images?

    PNG is a format for (compressed) images just like the JPG format. There is no way to disable this format.
    If you have a problem with images on some web pages then you may need to block images from some domains.
    You can look at the Adblock Plus extension to block specific content.
    * Adblock Plus: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/
    You need to subscribe to a Filter list (e.g. the EasyList).

  • Every time i open Ichat – i get a million "jabber authorization" notificati

    Hello;
    I am trying to use google talk in my Ichat so I can add all my MSN contacts. every time i tried to open Ichat i got aroung 1000 "jabber authorization notifications" that are blocking the Ichat.
    Is there anyway I can fix it? Any Idea how?
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi,
    My understanding is that if they have already been Authorized in MSN (Or other MSN able client) then they should be here as well.
    I am not sure there is a global acceptance option. (although you could try highlighting all the Buddies in the list and see if any other options pop up)
    Nor am I aware of an Auto-accept or an option not to ask.
    I have never been re-asked for Authorization when I have added an Authorized Buddy to a list on my two computers if it is already Authorised in another Buddy List.

  • How can I add .PNG images to templates without getting a white background?

    I'm having problems with a image field when I add a .png image which doesnt have a background it is showing up with a white background. Is it possible to use images in templates so you can overlay them on something else?

    Hi, You can do this but only with a PNG with a palette of 256 colors (maybe GIF as well) so doesn't get a lot of use, good enough for image buttons and the like, but might be ok for your image as it does not have that many colors. Otherwise radzmar's suggestion would be the better approach.
    This is the link I was tring to find (in your previous thread) that tells how to do it using GIMP (a free image editor), http://smartforms.business.gov.au/DeveloperResources/Pages/HintsandTips.aspx ,  but the one I have uploaded here comes from photoshop (in photoshop it is called an indexed png).

  • Placed PNG images which are made in 3ds max are not shown correctly in Ilustrator

    Hello,
    Why placed PNG images (renders) which are made in 3ds max (and then photoshoped) are not shown correctly in Ilustrator. Images appear very noise so you can't see almost a thing. the same pictures (renders) made in Revit appear ok.
    Is there a solution to solve this issue?
    Thanks.

    You would have to provide screenshots of how it looks in PS, including the channels visible. MAX may have embedded extra channels that throw off AI. And of course check whether your PNG is actually 8bit, not 16bit.

  • PNG images revive deleted images in the form of a thumbnail, potential risk

    Saving a PNG image will revive deleted photos. To replicate this, save a PNG image, such as the ones on XKCD's "What If?", and deleted images get revived in the form of a thumbnail overlapping the image.
    This has been here since IOS 5, according to http://appleinsider.com/articles/13/11/14/bug-resurrects-deleted-image-thumbnail s-in-ios-7-photos-app-dates-back-to-ios-5
    Knowledge of this could be abused. If I get free acess to someone else's Ipad, I can just spam saving PNG images over and over to see their sensitive images saved as a thumbnail overlapping the PNG image's thumbnail.
    How do I delete the thumbnails? It seems that when you delete a photo, it saves the thumbnail. This is supported by the PNG images reviving deleted photos in the form of thumbnails.

  • Safari on iphone won't render cgi generated png images with query strings

    I've got a cgi app functioning as a web service that generates png images and serves them up as part of another app which marshals them up in HTML.
    Here's the image stand alone:
    http://cybre.net/maps/mapgen.pl.png?WIDTH=1024&HEIGHT=768
    and here's how I marshal it:
    <IMG CONTENTTYPE='image/png' SRC='http://cybre.net/maps/mapgen.pl.png?WIDTH=1024&HEIGHT=768'>
    It seems to work on firefox, epiphany and galeon web browsers for linux, and my windows friends say that internet explorer renders them okay as well.
    My only apple hardware is my iphone, and safari pretends that there is no content when it renders the HTML page. Safari on the iphone does not render even using a direct link.
    The png is generated by perl mapscript, $img = $map->draw;
    print "content-type: image/png\n\n";
    $img->write;
    close(STDOUT)
    On the previous version of the iphone firmware, and before i factored the image generation out into a web service, the iphone was able to render the png image successfully.
    Is this safari wierdness where it gets cranky that there is
    QUERY_STRING info after the .png? mapgen.pl.png?foo=bar ?
    If so, are other browsers just being hyper liberal in what they accept and safari is playing by the rules or is this a bug in safari?
    thanks in advance,
    -marc

    it turns out that safari's handling of png is broken, the problem reproduced on both iphone and mac safaris.
    in changing the format to gif, it all works okay.

    I use .png images in PowerPoint presentations and these seem to create huge .pdf files. (...don't have this problem using .jpg images) For example, I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide master" so it will show up on every page. The PowerPoint file is 2.3MB, however the .pdf of it is 33.3MB, making it WAY too big to email, which was my objective.
    Any ideas on how to reduce the size of .pdf's which contain .png images?
    ...note that I "compressed" the .png images inside of PowerPoint prior to creating the .pdf, but this made no impact.
    Thanks,
    pm

    >I have a 48 slide presentation that has a small .png image in the "slide
    >master" so it will show up on every page.
    PowerPoint only has to store one instance of the image even thought it is
    displayed on multiple slides. But Acrobat can't do the same, the image has
    to be stored for every page that it appears on, so that would explain the
    larger file size.
    Acrobat is supposed to be able to optimize the storage of common background
    images (at least that's the message I see when I do a "Save as..."), but I
    have yet to see it to work. Maybe it depends on the application the orginal
    file is created in and the PDF conversion method used.
    Adding the image into a PDF file later as a watermark instead may be a way
    to keep the size down (then it really only does store the object once),
    though I believe that watermark images will appear in front of everything
    else on the page (not sure if that's a problem for you, it depends on
    whether any text or objects in the presentation ever appear in front of the
    image).
    What are the dimensions and resolution of the image in PowerPoint? You may
    be able to go as low as 75 dpi and not notice a difference, it depends on
    whether the image contains any areas of high contrast or text.

  • Firefox asks what to do with some PNG images instead of just displaying them

    Not sure what is going on here, but some PNG images seem to confuse Firefox, while others are fine. While some PNGs just display when clicked on (eg: when wanting to see a full size image from a thumbnail), others make Firefox ask what I want to do with it. When I select "Firefox 3.6.8" it ends with an error:
    /tmp/elementary_gtk_theme_by_DanRabbit-1.png could not be opened, because an unknown error occurred.
    Try saving to disk first and then opening the file.
    ... but when I manually made it open with "/usr/bin/firefox" (I'm in Ubuntu) the image opens fine. I was beginning to think this was now universal for PNGs, but I was opening offending ones from the same site, and going elsewhere showed that some PNGs will be displayed as usual. Does anyone have any idea why this would happen to some PNGs but not all? Here is a link to one of the problem PNGs:

    It opens without issue in Opera. Hope someone can make sense of this. Cheers
