Should I offer an alternative view for Large Monitors?

Hello
I have built a very straight forward web site to show around
200 images for an artist. The site is a very simple HTML/CSS and my
question is about whether I should offer an option for viewers to
view on larger monitors?
Because the design/content is so minimal, on a very large
monitor (I Don't have one), I imagine the page content could look
sparse. I obviously want the site to be appropriate for as wide an
audience as possible and want the images to be large enough to get
a good look at them without bursting off the screen.
However, apart from wide appeal, a significant target
audience say, galleries and other image makers, will probably have
high-end kit for their browsing and probably, have huge monitors.
so my question is:
Should I have the option for people to view the site on a
large monitor?
If it's a good idea, I imagine that I could just duplicate
the site and upsize all the images. And then change my CSS to make
the text etc a bit bigger. I don't imagine a style-switcher is the
way to go because that would not deal with the image sizes.
I would really welcome any advice.
Thanks
Martin
I know this isn't strictly a DW question but I don't know
where else to go with it?

I don't think so. The larger the monitor/resolution, the
higher the
likelihood that the user has a sub-maximized viewport width.
Why make extra
work for yourself?

PDF viewer for large files

Hello,
i want to view a very large PDF file (~1GB, ~500 pages). The viewers i tested (okular, evince, xpdf) are slow: if i browse through the document one page loads a specific time and is displayed. If i switch to the next page i have to wait again.
Is there a viewer that loads the rest of the document while i read the first pages to scroll through the document without waiting after a while?

Thanks so long.
acroread renders the pages very fast. That's what i want - but it's proprietary:/
For the moment it's ok but i'd like to have a free alternative to acroread that shows the pages as quick as acroread or preloads more than 1 page.

I've tried it: no improvement.
Edit: tried Sumatra: an improvement compared to Okular etc. Thanks.

Explorer crashing when generating thumbnails view for large (4GB) video (.TS) files

I am suffering consistent application crashes in Windows Explorer when it tries to generate thumbnails.
The error is reported as COM Surrogate has stopped working with an APPCRASH of dllhost.exe in module msvcrt.dll.
This only but always happens in the following circumstances. A folder set to view tiles or icons (with thumbnail view option NOT disabled). This folder contains several sub-folders, each of which contain video files. As explorer scans the
folder and its sub-folders, generating thumbnails for each, whenever it encounters a video file (.TS) that is 3.99GB or larger. COM surrogate crashes again. Closing COM Surrogate will then allow explorer to continue to scan the remaining sub-folders
until it encounters the next large file.
If I subsequently open one of the sub-folders where it crashed trying to generate a thumbnail, and refresh the folder, it will successfully generate a thumbnail for the video file. If I then return to the main folder and change the customization of the sub-folder
from video to document and back to video, explorer then successfully generates the folder icon with the inset video thumbnail.
I have tried this in safe mode and the problem persists.
Can anybody please help as I am pulling my hair out.

Hi Roger.
Almost all of my media files are TS, and all of my large (4GB) files are TS files, so I cannot tell if other file types have the same problem. I did try renaming the TS files to be .mpg (they still play as mpg) but this did not help.
However, I have downloaded and used ShelleExView and this has proved very useful. For the benefit of anyone else with a similar problem and using this very useful tool, I will detail the technique I used.
First, using ShellExView, I disabled various groups of extensions to identify which, if any, were relevant. After disabling/enabling each set I performed a system restart to ensure the changes took effect. This was not actually necessary as restarting
Windows Explorer (via Task Manager) works equally well (but this loses my customm Taskbar toolbar).
Also, before re-opening the folders containing the problem files, I deleted the icon cache (I could have done this manually but chose to use CCleaner's delete Thumbnail Cache option as this was quick and easy). I then viewed the folders containing
the problem files, watching to see what effect the changes in ShellExView had made.
Using ShellExView, I progfessively disabled by Type (e.g. Thumbnail, Icon Handler), then by Company (e.g. non-Microsoft), then by Product (e.g. MS Office, Windows Search). The result was that I identified the extension that was creating the thumbnails:
Icaros Thumbnail Provider (installed as part of the K-Lite codec pack).
Hoping I had found the cause, I removed K-Lite from my system and checked again. No thumbnails (as expected), but COM Surrogate continued to crash (I have subsequently reinstalled K-Lite as I need this to play my media files). Further analysys
with ShellExView then identified a further problem extension: Microsoft's MF MPEG Property Handler.
With both extensions (Icaros Thumbnail Provider & MF MPEG Property Handler) disabled, COM Surrogate does not crash. With either one enabled, but not the other, COM Surrogate crashes. These two extensions are therefore both individually causing
the crashes. This leads me to wonder if they perhaps have something in common (e.g. a dll).
Although disabling these extensions stops the crashes, I of course alos lose what they provide: file details (e.g. media length etc.) and thumbnails. So simply disabling them is not a solution.
Is it possible to idenitfy what, if anything, they have in common (which may be the true culprit)?
Alternatively, are there other ways I can continue to obtain file property information and thumnails without using these extensions?

Faster alternative to cfcontent for large file downloads?

I am using cfcontent to securely download files so the user
can not see the path the file is stored in. With small files this
is fine, but with large 100mb+ files, it is much, much slower than
a straight html anchor tag. Does anyone have a fast alternative to
using cfheader/cfcontent for large files?
Thanks

You should be able to use Java to handle this, either through
a custom tag or you might be able to call the Java classes directly
in Coldfusion. I don't know much about Java, but I found this
example on the Web and got it to work for uploading files. Here's
an example of the code. Hope it gives you some direction:

Does the same thing happen on any other books that you have in the app ? If not then it's probably just that one book, in which can you could try deleting the book and re-downloading it - if it re-downloads in the same state then try the 'report a problem' from your purchase history :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1933

Viewing Window for Large Graphs

Hi! I'm looking for pointers on how to develop a viewing window for large graphs, otherwise called 'reference maps' or 'reference diagrams'. For instance, you might have a very large diagram that does not fit in your screen with a very small version of it to one side. Over the small graph, there would be a square box that you move around to focus over to section of the graph. As you move the box, the large diagram on the other side moves around to show that "enlarged" area covered by the box. I'm trying to avoid reinventing the wheel. I've found plenty of information on graphs and diagrams, but nothing close to what I need. Please help? Thanks!

Alternative Visio Viewer for .vdw files

Hi, all!
Since Visio viewer is not included in STD license Sharepoint 2013, I need to find alternative viewer.
Can someone suggest alternatives?

You can implement something similar using Aspose Visio Diagram:
http://www.aspose.com/docs/display/diagramnet/Export+Diagram+to+HTML It's a commercial product, and I'm not affiliated to them in any way, there are probably a lot more options out there, but this one does the job nicely.

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Why can't Chapters created in GarageBand podcasts be viewed as large screens in iTunes and iPads using iMac OS 10.8.5 and iPad iOS7?

I created podcasts using GarageBand and added artwork as chapters to the audio naration. In the old iTunes they would show up as seperate large screenswhich could be easily read by other on a large monitor. While they can be seen as tiny pictures when you click on Chapters in the menu bar at the top, they are not large enough for students or audience members to see.
I also create these to go on my iPad. Withe the old version of iTunes, they could fill up the screen on the iPad. in iOS7 they are small, do not change with the audio as they are supposed to, and you only can see the next screen if you touch the < in the top left, go back to the previous screen and then touch "Now Playing". Since they do not automatically go to the next chapter artwork screen as the audio is playing, you would have to just know when to make the change.
This now defeats the whole purpose of the ability to add artwork or any visual guide that would go along with the podcast that was created in GarageBand and sent to iTunes.
Even when you make the podcast into a movie, which does show the artwork as the audio is playing, you still can't control it by having the chapters available as they used to be in the seperate window. This used to be in the control of the three lines on the bottom right side of the screen which now are the list of the next podcasts. In fact, on my iMac screen, the window is also very small. You can't make it larger like you could in the earlier version of iTunes.
It is such a disappointment to me that this has changed.
I can still use my old iPod to do the podcast the way I have described above, and fortunately I can show those using AppleTV on a large monitor, but if I wanted to send the podcast to students to place on the iPad, they would no longer have the full value of what GarageBand creates.
Is there any other program that could be used on the iPad that would not only have the artwork chapters in sync with the audio, but would have a way to quickly go from one chapter to another should a student wish to skip parts of a podcast and only review certain portions?
If nothing is available now, is there anyway to get a message to the iTunes people to get this back into the iOS7 devices? I wish someone could let them know what a loss it is to those of us who have used these applications for this kind of teaching or studying.
Please create another iPad app that would work with GarageBand for this kind of podcast!!!
I use an iMac OS 10.8.5 and an iPad iOS7.
Thanks

I'm going to reply to my own message. After spending some time trying to solve this problem, I found an application called Chapter Maker in the App Store. It is reasonably priced and once you have turned your podcast sent to iTunes into a movie by opening it in QuickTime, you can either just show it through QuickTime on your desktop or laptop computer, or if you want it to work in iTunes the way it used to work, you can send it from QuickTime to iMove (go to file/Export to... iMovie) where you can then export it as a movie to your desktop and open in Chapter Maker where you can add the chapter headings back in to the podcast and Export it. You can then add it back into the movie folder in iTunes where you can see the visuals in full screen and navigate through the chapters quickly.
I also tried this out by connecting my iPad to my computer and moving the movie into my iPad. While it doesn't have the chapters visible to navigate quickly to a chapter heading, you can touch the play screen and drag it to the places you need to review. Not as nice as the old iOS version, but it also does show the visual screen using the full screen of the iPad.
As I mentioned earlier, on my older iPod, I am able to view the visuals in full screen and by touching the list at the top right, it turns over to navigate through chapters with clearly labeled headings.
I use this to study topics for myself and also to pass on information to students.
I do wish they had kept the old version the way it was, but guess that's the way things go.
Check out the application in the App Store called Chapter Maker if you are looking for the same solution to this problem. Even if you aren't, it's an easy way to add sections to any video.

Oracle 10g Discoverer Reports & export to xls fails for large reports

Hi ,
We have following configurations:
1: RHEL 5.4
2: Discoverer :Version 10.1.2.48.18
3: Oracle10g Apps Version : Version 10.1.2.0.2
Issue:
Most of small reports works fine ....but when large discoverer reports are executed the page
keeps on refreshing for 15-20 hours but no output ....same for export to xls ......
But same reports works fine in oracle9i for same data voulme....
Observations:
When on linux with top command the processes are monitored its observed that discoverer process
dis51ws dies for large reports after 1-2 minutes ...& the page keeps on refreshing but no output....
for 1-2 minutes it consumes 50-80% cpu utilisation then process disappears & cpu 80% idle ...
It seems that as 10g Apps is installed on RHEL 5.4 ...non certfified OS causing an issue...
Can any one adds more inputs in this regards......

Regards,

Hi ,
as per Note: 466697.1 ....its an memory error....& need to increase MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem
But we already have slowly increased MaxVirtualDiskMem and MaxVirtualHeapMem to below very high values ...but the issue remains same.......
as per note we are getting Logkeys: exceptions discoiv.servlet_exceptions error but
after that we are not getting below error ............
Unexpected error in state machine: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError
Hence I presume that its different issue rather than memmory....
Below are pref.txt values..........
CacheFlushPercentage          = 25          # Percent of cache flushed if the cache is full. valid values 0 - 100%.
MaxVirtualDiskMem          = 9294967296     # Maximum amount of disk memory allowed for the data cache. Should be greater than or equal to MaxVirtualHeapMem
MaxVirtualHeapMem          = 4294967296     # Maximum amount of heap memory allowed for the data cache.
QueryBehavior = 0          # Action to take after opening a workbook (0 = Run Query Automatically, 1 = Don't Run Query, 2 = Ask for Confirmation)
Also we have raised an SR & as per SR .............all below settings are tried as per SR except for applying a recent patch....
====================================================================
Discoverer performance is largely determined by how well the database
has been designed and tuned for queries.
A well-designed database will perform significantly better than a poorly
designed database.
Workbook design can also affect query performance.
1. Apply latest Discoverer patch as documented in <<Note:237607.1>>
'ALERT: Required and Recommended Patch Levels For All Discoverer Version'.
2. Increase the maximum JVM heap memory:
In general, the default values for the minimum heap (-Xms) memory and
maximum heap (-Xmx) memory are sufficient.
However, if your organization consistently runs large Discoverer queries
then you may benefit from increasing the maximum heap memory from the
default values.
This is recomended if your users are typically running large queries via
Discoverer Viewer.
Increasing the JVM memory can help to avoid "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError"
in Discoverer Viewer:
Please see <<Note 563960.1>>, Best Practice: Configuring The
OC4J_BI_Forms JVM For
Discoverer Viewer/Portlet 10g Performance And Stability for specific
details.
3. Disable Query Prediction:
Query Prediction provides an estimate of the time required to retrieve
the information in a query.
The Query Prediction appears before the query and consumes time.
Edit the <oracle_home>/discoverer/util/pref.txt on the middle-tier
server and set:
QPPEnable=0
Also set:
QPPObtainCostMethod = 0
4. Uncheck the 'Enable fantrap detection' checkbox.
When the box is checked, every query generated by Discoverer is
interrogated. Discoverer will detect a fan trap and rewrite the query to
ensure that the aggregation is done at the correct level.
Please refer to <<Note:210553.1>>, Oracle BI Discoverer: Fan Trap
Resolution - Correct Results
Everytime for more information on fantraps.
To disable, in Plus go to Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Fan Trap
settings.
In Viewer go to Preferences and uncheck the box.
5. Disable Materialized Views/Summaries
In pref.txt add parameter:
MaterializedViewRedirectionBehavior = 0
Value equal to 0 ensures that Materialized View (MV) Redirection is
always performed when MVs are available.
6. Improve query performance by optimizing the SQL.
In pref.txt modify/add following parameters:
SQLFlatten = 0
SQLItemTrim = 0
SQLJoinTrim = 0
UseOptimizerHints = 0
If value of SQLFlatten is 1 then Discoverer will merge inline views in
the query SQL where ever possible.
In case of SQLItemTrim, Discoverer will remove unused folder items from
the query SQL where possible and for SQLJoinTrim Discoverer will remove
unnecessary joins from the query where possible.
UseOptimizerHints will add Optimizer hints to SQL if set >
0.Unnecessarily making Discoverer perform these checks consumes
resources and rather than increasing the performance may reduce the same. So unless you feel these checks have to be performed depending on
requirements, assign zero to these parameters.
7. When Discoverer builds a query, Discoverer makes a database security
check to confirm that the user has access to the tables referenced in
the folders. Avoiding this check can save time.
So in pref.txt underDatabase section add:
ObjectsAlwaysAccessible = 1
8. Whenever you are creating conditions, ensure that you match the Case.
This in turn can reduce the time Discoverer spends on changing the Case
and matching.
For example:
option Upper(Department) in (Upper('VIDEO SALES')
9. Ensure that summaries are refreshed periodically in Discoverer
Administrator.
10. Increase the amount of memory available for the Discoverer data cache. Please refer to <<Note 245752.1>>, Explaining Oracle BI Discoverer
Session Memory Management
And Server Cache Settings.
11. Performance may be enhanced by enabling OracleAS Web Cache.
==================================================================
Thanks for your reply....................

SharePoint Library for Large Amounts of Engineering Data

We are currently using traditional project directory folders for large projects with sometimes tens of thousands of documents.
We are planning on migrating the data to SharePoint and the path forward in unclear.
Initially it was recommended to use a library, not numerous folders, to contain the data so that searching of data in improved.
That sounded great. The 1<sup>st</sup> project used to pilot this for other project is divided into 20 different modification packages.
A library category was created for MODS with selectable options of the 20 mod package names and “No Defined” (default value).
Some data items are shared between more than one MOD so this category can have more than one assignment.
When we looked at the directory structure in place we found no consistency in folder names, no consistency in directory structure.
Many folders have 5 or 6 (or more) levels of subdirectories.
Ideally we want no more than 4 or 5 categories of meta data to define all data.
Mapping from chaos into a comparatively small number of categories is daunting.
When searching this forum I find that libraries should be limited to 2,000 items.
There are tens of thousands of items in our pilot project.
Surely someone somewhere has encountered this organizational problem.
I could use some advice from someone who have been there before.

John,
The limit of 2000 is not a hard limit, the actual no of items you can store in a list is 30,000,000. however more item would have impact on performance on rendering and lock on the SQL table.
Also the limit that you have mentioned (2000) is list view threshold limit and actually it is 5000.
One important aspect is Boundaries are hard limit, which you cannot exceed and Supported limits are limits based on tests, which can be exceeded but may cause issues.
Being said that , I would suggest you to check out this link on
SharePoint Server 2010 capacity management: Software boundaries and limits

HS connection to MySQL fails for large table

Hello,
I have set up an HS to a MySql 3.51 dabatabe using an ODBC DNS. My Oracle box has version 10.2.0.1 running in Windows 2003 R2. MySQL version is 4.1.22 running on a different machine with the same OS.
I completed the connection through a database link, which works fine in SQLPLUS when selecting small MySQL Tables. However, I keep getting an out of memory error when selecting certain large table from the MySQL database. Previously, I had tested the DNS and ran the same SELECT in Access and it doesn't give any error. This is the error thrown by SQLPLUS:
SQL> select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720;
select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720
ERROR at line 1:

I have read the MySQL documentation and apparently there's a "Don't Cache Result (forward only cursors)" parameter in the ODBC DNS that needs to be checked in order to cache the results in the MySQL server side instead of the Driver side, but checking that parameter doesn't work for the HS connection. Instead, the SQLPLUS session throws the following message when selecting the same large table:
SQL> select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720;
select * from progressnotes@mysql_rmg where "encounterID" = 224720
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-02068: following severe error from MYSQL_RMG
ORA-28511: lost RPC connection to heterogeneous remote agent using
SID=(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=10.0.0.120)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SID=MYSQL_RMG)))
Curiously enough, after checking the parameter, the Access connection through the DNS ODBS seems to improve!
Is there an aditional parameter that needs to be set up in the inithsodbc.ora perhaps? These are current HS paramters:
# HS init parameters
HS_FDS_CONNECT_INFO = MYSQL_RMG
HS_FDS_TRACE_LEVEL = ON
My SID_LIST_LISTENER entry is:
(SID_DESC =
(PROGRAM = HSODBC)
(SID_NAME = MYSQL_RMG)
(ORACLE_HOME = D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1)
Finally, here is my TNSNAMES.ORA entry for the HS connection:
MYSQL_RMG =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 10.0.0.120)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = MYSQL_RMG)
(HS = OK)
Your advice will be greatly appeciated,
Thanks,
Luis

First of all please be aware HSODBC V10 has been desupported and DG4ODBC should be used instead.
The root cause the problem you describe could be related to a timeout of the ODBC driver (especially while taking care of the comment: it happens only for larger tables):
(0) [MySQL][ODBC 3.51 Driver]MySQL server has gone away (SQL State: S1T00; SQL
(0) Code: 2006)
indicates the Driver or the DB abends the connection due to a timeout.
Check out the wait_timeout mysql variable on the server and increase it.

Avoiding non required view for material master

Hi,
If I do not wan to tuse all the views then how can avoid them at the time of creation of material.I mean system should only show me the views relevant for me.
What is the customization setting required to be done in IMG ?/
Thx in advance
Regards,
manOO

Hi Manoo,
1.
Material master creation activity is generally carried out by a central team.
The process flow is generally -
1.Creation of Basic data views,
2.Creation of other views (Like purchasing, Accounting etc)
So idelly i do not see any need to restrict views as the central team is generally aware of the process flow and responsibilities.
2. Alternatively, you can set "Default View" for any particular user ID.
From Consulting point of view, this should not lead to any development as this could be a matter of User discipline.
from OMS2 you can remove the view for a particular material type and which may not be correct.
Avinash

Should I offer an alternative view for Large Monitors?
