Why is the size of my FPGA VI increasing?

I am using LABview 8.5 FPGA Module. I noticed that the size ov my FPGA VI file keeps increasing when it shouldn't. As a test, I added one simple control to my FPGA VI file and saved it. As expected, the size of the file increased. I then went in and did nothing more than delete this control I just added, then saved the file. The size of the file INCREASED again! Why would it increase when I delete something from the file!?
Anyone else see this happen? Is there some Labview option I need to set or un set to stop this??
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks for your interest, Wiebe.
The history is off as far as I know. I think the slices are the same. As amatter of fact, one experiment I did was I checked the VI Properties->Memory Usage, added a simple control, saved the VI, deleted the control, saved it, and looked at the Properties->Memory Usage again. The numbers between the two times I checked the Memory Usage were the same EXCEPT for the "Total VI Size On Disk", which had increased.
Here's a detailed description of something I did yesterday. My FPGA VI had grown to a 140Meg. I know, pretty big. I do have a lot in it because of what my application demands. I created a new empty VI and painstakingly copied all the Labview code (eg. front panel items, block diagrams, etc) from the 140Meg VI to this new one. I saved the new one. Bottom line hey had the axact same "code". However, the new VI file size was only 20Meg!
I'm beginning to believe that the Save command stored previous versions of my Labview code within the VI file, perhaps for purposes of being able to revert to older revisions??? I know I grasping at straws, but this is becoming an issue. Any NI engineer listening that knows about this.

Why do the number of active JMS connections increase?

Problem
- Number of active JMS connections and current JMS messages increases until the Weblogic instances crash with an OutOfMemory exception
Setup
- Weblogic v9.2.3, Cluster with 4 Nodes
- A JMS Message is sent from a MDB in Weblogic to a distributed queue which has a member on each of the 4 Weblogic nodes. The session is created as follows session = connection.createSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE), the message delivery mode is set programmatically to persistent and the delivery mode override of the queue setup is set to persistent too
- Standalone JMS client processes: each one is attached to all 4 nodes. Each one uses a unique JMS message selector so that we have more than one queue consumer for one queue but every message is exactly dedicated to one queue consumer. We us weblogic.jar for the clients.
- Use of Weblogic auto reconnect feature. JMS client code:
Connection connection = this.connectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
final WLConnection wlconnection = (WLConnection)connection;
wlconnection.setReconnectPolicy(JMSConstants.RECONNECT_POLICY_ALL);
wlconnection.setTotalReconnectPeriodMillis(-1);
wlconnection.setReconnectBlockingMillis(-1);
Remarks and Questions
- There are no pending JMS messages which is good
- In our setup, each JMS client is connected to all 4 nodes as the messages are not distributed to all nodes: if a message is put to Queue A but the client is only connected to Queue B, the message is NOT transfered from Queue A to Queue B. We set the parameter "Forward Delay" to 5 seconds with no effects. Is this the normal behavior?
- Not all JMS clients are visible in the Weblogic console under JMS Services -> JMS Servers -> [Server] -> Monitoring -> Active Connections. Which one are visible? Which one are not visible? There are also clients where the number of connections is not zero but stays constant; we know that as several independent clients on different hosts are started and the IP adress is visible in the Weblogic console. Why....?
- What reasons can lead to increasing connections? Is this due to client or server problems? Do we have to acknowledge the message in the onMessage(Message) method of the client JMS consumer? So far as I know, we don't have to.
- Are the increasing number of current messages due to the increasing number of JMS connections?
- May the RECONNECT_POLICY_ALL policy produce this problem?
Any hint is appreciated.

To answer the question about the forwarding of messages from one queue to another myself: As mentioned at http://forums.bea.com/thread.jspa?threadID=400000611, the forwarding for queues does only work if all queue consumers are attached to the same queue. This means that our setup is OK.
But the main question is still unanswered: why do the number of active JMS connections increase? I forgot to mention that
- all messages arrive at the clients and that no exceptions are visible in the log
- if you kill the client, the connections are still visible in the Weblogic console!?
Please help as this problem is very urgent.

Why is the size of new image constructed using Bufferd Image class less?

I am trying to compress image losslessly, for start I what I am doing is:
step1. Access pixels of .jpg image and store in array
Step2. Reconstruct the image from same array
What I have found is, that the size of new image constructed is less than the original.
I am pasting the code below
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedImage sourceImage = null;
try {
sourceImage = ImageIO.read(new File("Sample.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
int type = sourceImage.getType();
int w = sourceImage.getWidth();
int h = sourceImage.getHeight();
byte[] pixels = null;
if (type == BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR) {
System.out.println("type.3byte.bgr");
pixels = (byte[]) sourceImage.getData().getDataElements(0, 0, w, h, null);
try {
BufferedImage edgesImage = new BufferedImage(w, h, BufferedImage.TYPE_3BYTE_BGR);
edgesImage.getWritableTile(0, 0).setDataElements(0, 0, w, h, pixels);
ImageIO.write(edgesImage, "jpg", new File("result.jpg"));
} catch (IOException e) {
Please could any one explain me why is it so?

I am working on a IEEE paper where in I am supposed to achieve a better compression ratios as compared to current JPEG standards. So if only loading and displaying the image results in size reduction and quality too, how do I go ahead with my algorithmI suggest you:
(a) start with images in an uncompressed format such as TIFF, rather than a format which is already lossy (JPEG)
(b) acquire some basic knowledge about JPEG before you attempt to improve on it, and
(c) learn to quote accurately. Otherwise your paper will be refereed out of existence. I didn't say anything about 'loading and displaying the image resulting in size reduction and quality too'. I said 'loading and storing'; and 'change the contents', not 'size reduction and quality too'.
A JPEG load and store operation does not result in a bitwise identical file. Frankly you should already know that.

Why is the size of my pdf increasing after I add text fields?

I have a simple pdf that by itself is 350kb. But when I add 4 text form fields it increases the size to 2.8mb. Why is this and what can I do to decrease the size but keep the fporm fields for users to type into?
thanks

I was JUST about to type this. I went into my revised pdf and changed the form text boxes to Helvetica and it didnt change the file size. However I re-created the file from scratch and it is now keeping the file size at the original size. Thanks to both of you for the help!

Why does the size of my photos reduce to 0mb after editing in iPhoto?

Please bear with me here. I am a new Mac user (MacBook Pro, 2008, OSX 10.7.5), as well as not the most technologically competent person in the world, so I might need a little patience and additional questions to help me understand everything!
After a recent trip to Europe, I imported photos that I had taken with two different cameras into iPhoto ('09, version 8.1.2). All the photos that I took with my Canon Rebel t2i DSLR have not had the problem I'm about to describe, in the past or with photos from this trip. The problem has been only from pictures that I took and uploaded from my husband's Nikon Coolpix L610 point and shoot. Not sure if this will matter, but the mode I was shooting in was 16M (4608x3456) which appears to be the "best" quality for this camera.
As I was going through my photos and editing them (mostly minor edits, cropping, straightening, enhancing, altering the sharpness/exposure/definition/saturation), I noticed the size of my photos decreasing, as described in the information box in the lower left hand corner of the screen. With at least 30+ pictures of the ones I have tried editing (this isn't counting the hundreds more that I have yet to start editing), the file size dropped to 0MB, some after one edit as simple as straightening, others taking 2 or more minor edits to drop to 0. The picture is still there in the multiphoto view (in Photos section under Library), but if I try to click on the picture to view it larger, it just shows up as a black screen.
For example, one picture I have showed a size of 4608 x 3456 and 7.6 MB. When I did one edit (enhance photo), the 4608 x 3456 stayed the same, but the 7.6MB changed to 0KB. For others, it will decrease some with one edit, then drop down to 0 if I do additional edits. Most of my pictures are in the 4-10MB range in their original form (no edits). I'm assuming that I was shooting in jpeg mode, since that's what they uploaded as. (I've read on here of other people shooting in RAW mode and such, but I don't even think this camera has that capability). I read some other boards with similar questions, but not the exact same problem as I'm facing. I know that there is "jpeg compression" with jpeg files when editing.
So I guess my question is this: Is there anything I can do to stop this reduction down to 0? I will only be printing out a few of these pictures, and most in a 4x6 or 5x7 size. I'm more concerned with being able to post them to Facebook for my family, who lives far away. When the file size is 0KB, it won't upload because it doesn't even register as there being a picture and if I try it anyway, it gives me an error message, something along the lines of not supporting this format (or something similar, has been a couple days since I last tried).
I read something one of the similar boards that mentioned saving the edited photos as TIFF files, but it also mentioned that that takes up a lot more disk space, which I'm not sure if I want to (or have the space to) do. (Side question: If I did check the box in Preferences --->Advanced "Save edits as 16-bit TIFF files, would that do that to every picture in my library that I have edited?)
As I said, I'm new to this whole Mac stuff (been using it for just under a year, given to me by my brother-in-law after my computer died), so please use as much layman lingo as possible! And thank you in advance for anyone that can give me any insight and/or advice!

None of my pictures that I uploaded into iPhoto are in my Finder under Pictures. Should I copy and paste my folders from iPhoto into here, in case something happens to my iPhoto program (in addition to backing them up onto an external hard drive like I already do)?
No, that's just wasting space. A back up needs to be on a different disk.
Your photos are within the iPhoto Library.

Why is the size of my pdf file so large

In the templet,I use a font type "Simsun" for Chinese in the subform.
This font type is added in the output desginer by "font setup" .
And this font has been existing in my os.
When I generate a pdf file, the size reaches >6M.

Why is the size different? (A4 problem)

When I create an A4 sized canvas in Photoshop, the actual size (100%) is about three times bigger! - Even when I manually enter the measurments in 'mm', when viewed in 100%, it's still much too large!
Extremely frustrating, would greatly appreciate help,
Thanks.

Why is the size limited?

Whenever I print the size is small, and and would really like a solution on how to make the image larger when I print it. Any help is welcome, thanks!

Are you both printing from iOS devices? Have you tried printing the same image from a computer to compare how the printer responds?
Do you know the dimensions on the image you are working with? If the image is not large enough for a A4 it may not print to that size.
Also, what printer are you working with and how is it connected?
Let me know and have a great day!

Why is the size of WIN7SE updates 4 GB

I never tried to add any update to my answer file until today. Once I applied applicable updates to the answer file, the ICE applied ~300 updates and the footprint size immediately expand from 2 GB to 6 GB. I tried to delete some unessential packages to
see if I can reduce the update size by doing so but found it not very useful. I also tried to clean old updates after deploying image but nothing was removed. I wonder if it is normal to have 4 GB updates or I did anything wrong?

Yes, this is normal. Did you run the clean up tool:

Why is the size of 1400 imported CD songs 10 GBS?

We imported over 1400 songs from CDs through iTunes and the file size is over 10GBs and its slowing down my windows PC. We didn't change any import settings and the reading I've done on-line is confusing. How can we make the imported music smaller file size? I need to get this huge file size off my hd but want to know how to import in the future without the files being huge. Everyone else I know doesn't have this issue and they download songs all the time without any problems or the files taking up so much space. What are we doing wrong???? I am getting desparate since Apple phone support has not been helpful.

My music collection currently consists of 10,931 songs and takes up 84.95GB of space. If you break that down, it's equal to 7.77MB per song. If you multiply that by 1400 songs you would have 10.87GBs worth of songs. It looks to me like your music is taking up a "normal" amount of space. Your friends may not be having this issue for several reasons.
1. They may not have as many songs.
2. If they are downloading songs from unlicensed places, the song quality may be not be as good as what you have.
In short, I would suggest that you aren't doing anything wrong. If you are familiar with the import settings, if you import as MP3s rather than Apple's AAC format, your file size will shrink but that will likely take quite a while for not a huge reduction in space. If your PC is acting slowly, it likely isn't due to the large size of your music collection unless your hard drive is approaching full (95% full sort of thing). I hope that helps you out a little.

HT4942 Why is the size display of Keynote (and all the iWorks programs) not adjustable enough to allow 2 programs to be viewed side by side! The won't allow me to fully choose how small I want it to be!

I often use Keynote AND Pages jumping back and forth when creating a presentation. I used to be able to open each and make them fit side by side to work so I could see both evenly. But now these iWork programs no longer allow me to shrink their size displayed to fit this way. I can only shrink them to be about 2/3rds of my monitor which means the other is grossly covered up by the other and I have to keep clicking over the other to see information and then click back on the other which is immediately covered up again and I have to memorize what I saw on the other program to add to the other! Frustrating!!! Is there a way to minimize these programs to any size I want?!?!?!?!

Same thing happens on my mbpr 15", I'm going to guess that Gary is running the programs on a large screen iMac and maybe it the limitations of our laptops' screens preventing us from running the apps at 1/2 screen size.

Why are the sizes of apps larger than iTunes reports?

Hello there,
I have several apps which are very large on my iPad 2, but which are much smaller when you view their pages in the iTunes App Store. Some examples:
Puzzle Quest 2: 576MB on store, 1.22GB on the iPad (per the Device Apps list)
Starfront: Collision HD: 605MB, 1.04GB
War Grimoire HD: 346MB, 962.9MB (and I just installed this one!!)
What's going on? How can I reclaim all this wasted space, please?

Why does the delay in an applescript editor increase by itself?...***

so im trying to write myself a (very simple) auto typer for an mmorpg i play. i found a script for such an application on http://www.sythe.org/archives/438387-how-make-your-own-mac-auto-typer.html and proceeded to edit it for myself. the problem im having is that the delay is set to 3 for every line, but for **** sake, it just keeps slowing down after about a dozen lines. i have tried shortening the application to only 10 lines, and then clicking the continue button, but upon clicking the continue button it simply keeps upping the delay... WHY THE **** MUST YOUR EDITOR NOT WORK APPLE?!?!?!?!?!
and when i had the application set to do about 30 lines, again the frequency of the typing would significantly decrease after it typed my message about a dozen times. my script is as follows:
tell application "System Events"
          set texttosay to "Sample Text"
display dialog "Text to say:" default answer ""
          set texttosay to the text returned of the result
          repeat
                    activate application "Old School RuneScape"
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return

keystroke texttosay
keystroke return

keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
delay 3
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
                    display dialog the "Do you want to quit?" buttons {"Continue", "Quit"} default button 1
                    if the button returned of the result is "Quit" then
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell

try it this way: save the following as an application (not as a script) and run it.
property texttosay : "Sample Text"
on run
display dialog "Text to say:" default answer ""
          set texttosay to the text returned of the result
end run
on idle
          tell application "System Events"
                    if frontmost of process "Old School RuneScape" is false then
                              set frontmost of process "Old School RuneScape" to true
                    end if
keystroke texttosay
keystroke return
                    return 3
          end tell
end idle
this solves a couple of problems:
it keeps the script from constantly trying to activate the OSR app
there's no context shift from system events to OSR; the app is activated by system events itself
is removes the delay commands and replaces them with a 3 second idle loop. an idle loop puts the app to sleep while a delay command merely halts the execution of the script. the former is much more efficient fromt he processor's perspective.

Why does the content displayed on my screen increase without my doing anything

While I browse on the internet, I frequently must close my app because the screen gets distorted where I cannot make out what is on my screen. It is like what ever was on the screen gets four times bigger. I am unable to get the display to return to its original state which forces me to close down my app. Am I doing something wrong?

In Safari, a double tap with one finger on the Magic Mouse or a two finger double tap on the Trackpad will zoom in. You should be able to repeat that gesture to zoom out. You can disable those functions in System Preferences > Mouse > Point & Click tab > uncheck smart zoom. For the trackpad it's in System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & zoom tab.
