Spry compare the file size

So for the example :
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/demos/gallery/
I have to say that those Spry .js includes are huge in file
size for what they do :
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/xpath.js
64.9 KB
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/SpryData.js
90.4KB
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/SpryEffects.js
52.5
So just including the .js and not including the overhead of
the xml and images the application file size is at 207.8 KB now
that is fat for what is a very simple photo gallery. Something like
this built in Flash would probaly be a quater or less than this in
file size and would look a hell of a lot better. I cant really
understand the rationalle to doing it like this when a flash client
is more reliable and in the odd case of not having Flash the
install is not equal to the overhead of all these .js files. What
you guys think ?

The benifits of Spry, as mentioned by Andrew, became obvious
to me on a recent project. I am co-developing a site and my partner
has no Flash skills. We wanted to expose enough of the code and/or
file structure of the site so that he could do updates without
flash and eventually teach the client to do their own updates.
We're using the gallery widget where the client needs to have the
pics changed quite often. So, all we have to do is change the pics
and update the xml files. I have used xml files with Flash, but my
partner feels less intimidated with the 2 step process. Plus, the
code used on the html pages is exposed enough for us to easily
change many other settings.
Also, I'm encouraged by the news that the Spry js will be in
a compressed/ condensed version soon.
I do love Flash, but Spry came along kind of like the Perfect
Storm for use in my project.
I fell it will be another tool in my box to use when
appropriate.

  • I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different.  So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb.  I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?

    I have a few hundred duplicates in my iPhoto library, but the file sizes are different.  So one is 1.3mb and one is 567kb.  I want to delete the smaller ones, but short of comparing each duplicate, is there a way to do this?  I've been looking at Duplicate Annhilator but I don't think it can do it.
    Thanks!

    I just ran a test with iPhoto Library Manager, Duplicate Annihilator, iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner, Duplifinder and Photodedupo.  I imported a folder of 5 photos into a test library 3 times, allowing iPhoto to import duplicates.  I then ran the 5 photos thru resizer to reduce their jpeg compression but all other aspects of the file the same.
    None of the duplicate removal apps found set that was reduced in the file resizer. That's probably due to the fact that the file creation date was being used as a criteria and the resized photo would have a different file creation date even though the Image Capture date was the same.
    They all found the 3 regular duplicates and some of them would mark two and leave the 3rd unmarked.  iPhoto Duplicate Cleaner can sort the found duplicates by file size but if the file was edited to get the reduced file size it might not be found as it would have a different file creation/modification date. 
    iPhoto Library Manage was able to find all duplicates and mark them as such if the file names were the same the the filename option was selected.  Otherwise it also missed the modified, resized version.  It allowed one to select the one photo to save before going to work on the library.
    So if a photo has been reduced in image quality or pixel size it will not be considered a duplicate.

  • How can I reduce the file size of 3 videos?...

    ...without losing quality? These three videos are as follows in terms of size and length of the video:
    1) 148MB 19minutes
    2) 357MB 18minutes
    3) 164MB 14minutes
    I tried using a video converter to reduce the bit rate in order to reduce the size, which i know affects the quality, but that did not actually work to reduce the file size this time.
    I thought perhaps i should ask my forum friends for help on this matter. How,if at all, can I get all three of these MOV's under 100mb or to a total of 300mb for all 3 and preserve quality? It has to be able to play on an ipad (MOV or MP4). Thanks for your help!

    I think that the point that David was trying to make is that reducing the amount of information originally provided by a product or part of it in order to make it smaller will inevitably reduce the efficiency of the product itself.
    However, you don't have access to the original masters? Then you might be after a good compromise, meaning a video that can display decent quality while playing at its original frame size (say on the web).
    Does this mean that there is no real way to reduce the size without losing quality?
    If your target is the web there is a way to reduce the file size and still make it look decent enough. Re-compression means loss of source information but video compression is an art on its own and can produce some amazing results!
    Not without testing though.
    Now back to my previous post, use Compressor to try to reduce the file size and compare the result quality. Trust your eyes and be honest with yourself.

  • Export QuickTime file with new audio and maintain the file size and quality as the original.

    I shot some footage for a client yesterday and ran into an issue. To make a long story short I have QuickTime mov files shot with my Panasonic GH4 that have a buzzing sound in the audio track. I have clean audio from a recorder that can be sync'd. Is there a way for me to do this for the client and deliver them as the same QuickTime file but with the clean audio and keep the file size close to the original and not have quality loss in the image?
    If so I will probably put all of the spanned clips together from each interview and sync the audio before delivery. I am just not sure which codec will give the client the same quality footage compared to the originals and not have a massive difference in the overall file size. They did request that they be Quicktime MOV files though so that is a must.
    I don't see this as an option in the codecs in the export settings in PP, but is there a way to export as ProRes or another MAC native codec that will save them from having to convert it on their end? I am on a PC with Adobe CS5.5 so I am not too familiar with MACs, but from what I understand they would need to convert the files if I sent them straight out of the camera.
    I found some related search results for this but they pertained to "Best quality" for export. I am not sure how the varying options work but I don't want to create files that are considerably larger, just not less quality.
    If anyone has experience with this it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Cole

    Here's the workflow: I imported the video footage into iMovie '08 and did my edits. Then I exported it (share) to my desktop with compression set @ 740 X 480. Then I used QuickTime Pro to fix the audio track. The file plays perfectly with both audio tracks working. It's a QuickTime file (.mov).
    I hope this jars any replies as to why the file when uploaded to my iWeb gallery drops the second audio track.
    Hmm,

  • I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. What is the best way to do this

    I am trying to make a pdf of a file and I need to get the file size to be no bigger than 10MB. Even when I save it, the image quality at minimum the file size is 10.9 MB. What is the best way to do this

    @Barbara – What purpose is that PDF for? Print? Web?
    If web purpose, you could convert CMYK images to sRGB. That would reduce the file size as well.
    A final resort to bring down file size is:
    1. Print to PostScript
    2. Distill to PDF
    That would bring file size down even more. About 20%, depending on the images and other contents you are using, compared with the Acrobat Pro method. If you like you could send me a personal message, so we could exchange mail addresses. I could test for you. Just provide the highres PDF without any downsampling and transparency intact. Best provide a PDF/X-4.
    I will place the PDF in InDesign, print to PostScript, distill to PDF.

  • CFX_Image seems to resize ok but the file size is too big??

    my host uses CFX_IMAGE v1.6.6.11 (
    http://80.79.138.227/cfximage/index.cfm
    which does a perfectly good job of resizing images except for
    the fact that the resultant file size is too large. i found that
    compared to resizing images locally, resizing using this tag
    resulted in file sizes of double the size.
    i have tried tweaking the "quality" paramater but without
    success, i could get the file size down but then the quality was
    poor.
    so i am forced to resize images locally using macromedia
    fireworks or MS paint before uploading them.
    ideally i need to be able to resize images server side but
    without inordinate file sizes.
    does anyone else use a cfx_image tag that's more efficient?
    or does anyone else know how to get this tag to perform better?
    any help would be very gratefully received.
    thank you

  • 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.

  • How to check the file size before loading it to the context

    Hello,
    I have an application to upload a file and write it to the server using the FileUpload UI and IWDResource Interface.
    I would like to limit the size of the file the user is uploading to, say, 2MB.
    The problem is that the current API doesn't allow me to check the file size before I store it in IWDResource. The API available for IWDResource:
    IWDResource resource = ...
    InputStream stream = resource.read(false);
    size = stream.available();
    Is working on the file only AFTER storing it in the context and the server's memory. This way, if a user decides to upload 1GB file for example, he can easily crash the server.
    I am already familiar with <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00062266-3aa9-2910-d485-f1088c3a4d71">this</a> arcticle but it doesn't answer this question as well, all it does is calculating the file size only after storing it in the context.
    Any ideas...?

  • When downloading a file from google drive and save in my phones document directory,the file size is compressed. Why?

    I have downloaded files from "Dropbox" and save in phones document directory,After downloading in document directory,the size of the download file is same as the actual size in dropbox. I can also open it from document directory.Everything is ok. But when I follow the same process for google drive files, the file size is compressed(if actual size of file is 1.2Mb the download file size is 61Kb). So I can not open it from document directory.So, How can i download the actual size of the file in document directory? I am using google api objectivec client for google drive.
    Thanks in advance.

  • Opening up an Excel output takes a lot of time whenever the file size is la

    Hi All,
    We have some BI Pub reports with excel output format. These files have records in the order of thousands. The file sizes are > 2MB. Its taking a lot of time to open such files. Does anyone have any idea how can we get around this problem ??
    Thanks in advacne,
    Venkatesh N

    Another point is that BIP doesn't create a native/binary Excel file but an XML output. When you open this XML once and save it again as *.XLS it's size will decrease significantly and Excel will open it much faster.
    This applies to Excel 2000 - 2003, I don't know how it works with Office 2007.

  • How can I reduce the file size of my .cp project file?

    I am working in CP3 and creating training programs via computer simulations.  Generally I try to eliminate any unnecessary animation in my slide (use of scroll bars, drop down menus etc.) because these seemed to increase my file size.  I do have audio narration on almost every slide and I know that this helps to bump up my size.
    Here's what I found to be so odd.
    I have to create a new training module and I simply opened one of my .CP projects and did a SAVE AS with a new file name.  I reduced the number of slides from 25 to 3.  The three slides I kept are the title slide, closing slide and one slide that I'll call a content slide that has the color for my highlight boxes and text formatting.  (I keep the content slide so I can simply copy and paste the boxes as I need them.)  I removed all the audio.  Finally I saved the new project.  Imagine my surprise when the new file is 96,333 KB with only 3 slides, no audio and no animation.  This is almost the same size as the original file.  I published my 3-slide project, thinking it might change the size, but that was wishful thinking.
    I telelcommute from my home and I am required to check these files out of a secured document library each time I need to update them.  The upload time is KILLING ME!
    What am I doing wrong?  The Information section shows the file size as 783.9KB which seems more in line with what I would expect.
    Any help, as always is appreciated.

    Hi BIMB,
    Here's my guess, others can correct if I'm way off.
    What you see as the file size under the Cp4 Storyboard View Information is what the published file size would be sans any unused pics, audio, or swfs. So it should be relatively small given you only have 3 slides in your project.
    What you see as the 'save as' version reflects all of the pics, audio, and/or .swfs you still have in your project's library.
    Now if you've actually removed the audio files and pics from the Cp Library, then I'm not sure.
    Curious to know if this helps,
    Keith

  • How do I decrease the file size of my After Effects video without losing the quality?

    I made a video that was 7 minutes and 11 seconds long for my brothers wedding. The quality is really good but the file size is 1.52 GB and I would rather have that be in the megabytes so that I can send it to family members. It does not have to be so low that I can send it in an email but just not so big to where I can't burn it to a disc or place on a flash drive. I realize that I have not provided much information but I don't know what you will need to help me with this problem. If you would please tell me what information you need below then I will happily provide it for you.

  • How can I find the file size of an image within an iPhoto event or album?

    In order to see the file size of any particular photo, I've been dragging a copy onto my desktop and using "get info." Is there a better way?
    I'm using 10.7.4 and iPhoto 11 v 9.3.2

    1. That's only getting the file size of the Preview.
    2. Click on a photo to select it. Then click on the info button. You can get the dimensions and the file size in the top of the pane
    Note that the final size of any image will depend on the export settings you choose.

  • 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.
