General Software Discussion / Re: Using a batch file to create a hyperlinked png or jpg image.
« Last post by 4wd on April 24, 2015, 10:26 PM »
OK, two questions:
1) Is the HTML you are sending to these recipients static, (ie. apart from the recipient email address everything is the same - although that's not really a requirement, it could be built on the fly) ?

2) Does it have to go through Outlook, (I mean, do you REALLY have to use Outlook to send it) ?

If the first answer is Yes and the second No then there is a very simple way to achieve what you want using a simple command line program.

SendEmail

Create your HTML message as a file embedding the graphics as Base64 encoded text and use it as an input to the program:

eg.
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <html>
  2. <body>
  3. This is your basic test email with embedded clickable image.<br>
  4. &nbsp;<br>

Then in your command file you just need the line:

Code: Text [Select]
  1. sendEmail -f [email protected] -t [email protected] -s smtp.fromserver.com -u "Invitation" -o message-file=Invitation.html -o message-content-type=html

I've skipped the options for TLS, user, password, etc but they can be added if your mail server requires them.

I've tested this through Google' email system and it works fine.

The requirement to use Outlook shouldn't really be necessary as there will be a record of the sent email on the server that can always be accessed via IMAP/etc.

I sent you a test email to show you what you'll get ;)

Here's an online Base64 encoder for converting the images.

I don't have Outlook but I would think it would be easier to put the image on a server then you would only need a line in the message body to call it, (IIRC), eg.
Code: Text [Select]
  1. <a href=URL><IMG=image URL></a>

This could then be used in a command file using the information from here:


https://support.micr....com/en-us/kb/287573

The last section, Single command-line string for a message with subject and body, would create the email so all you'd need to do is hit send.

So goes the theory.

Only problem is if the image change for each email.

See here for attaching from the command line but I've got no idea what HTML/whatever you'd need in the body to create the URL link using an attachment.

Everything is the problem a lot of the time.
-superboyac (April 23, 2015, 12:14 PM)

What version are you using?

This used to be a problem with earlier versions, I can't say I've had it since about v1.2.1.451a.

Also, you can set Everything's options to either completely ignore removables, or index but not monitor, (that way it'll index on connection but won't continuously monitor changes) - that might help.

It was hanging on the virtual disk manager service process.  I'm trying to resolve this problem as I'd really like to be able to use the drive on that computer.

Next time you could try disabling it in the Device Manager before pulling it, you'll need to re-enable it in Device Manager next time you connect it.

Here is the image I am using: http://i.ytimg.com/v...Vo/maxresdefault.jpg

Before compression size: 318kb
After compression size:  265 kb
-stisev (April 22, 2015, 12:55 PM)

And after a Lossless 90° Right Rotation, the image is 261kB.

If you use the shortcut, (Control+Shift+R), the image will be trimmed by 8 pixels (1072x1920).
If you use the Dialog, it won't providing you've deselected that option.

If they just changed it to Rapeseed then the people who didn't know any better might look it up on their smartphone while driving instead of facebooking, SMSing, etc and thereby learn something just before they run their car off the road or hit someone.

« Last post by 4wd on April 22, 2015, 05:25 PM »
Unless you've changed XNView' hotkeys Shift+R is not Lossless rotation.

Lossless rotation is Control+Shift+R/L and if you want to avoid XNView trimming unnecessary pixels from the edges then you need to use the menu Tools->JPEG Lossless Transformations->Dialog and deselect that option as shown in my image above.

What you're doing is using normal rotation and then when you save it, it is recompressing the image using whatever options are set for JPEG compression, which looks to be close to 100%.

Lossless JPEG Rotation acts on the original image immediately, there is no need to save it afterwards.

General Software Discussion / Re: RIOT tool that respects folder hierarchy? (for JPEG compression?)
« Last post by 4wd on April 21, 2015, 07:50 PM »
Since you haven't attached an image that's giving you problems, this is the one I'm using to test, so the following are just screengrabs of the results of each step:

1) Original (42,465,102 bytes, 10358x3803 pixels 300DPI)

2015-04-22 10_38_03.jpg

2) Step 1 - compression with PhotoResizeP100ICROEG (6,587,712 bytes, 10358x3803 pixels 300DPI)

2015-04-22 10_38_18.jpg

3) Step 2 - Rotation using XNView 2.32, Lossless 90° Right (6,570,854 bytes, 3803x10358 pixels 300DPI)

2015-04-22 10_45_09.jpg

As you can see, the picture is rotated and the file size decreased after rotation.

Wait, are we talking about the same thing?
-stisev (April 21, 2015, 12:12 AM)

Obviously not, since it was unclear whether your reference to size refers to:
a) file size (re. "observe file back to original size")
b) image dimensions

I am talking about rotating it after its been compressed with the aforementioned tool.

The steps you gave were:
1) compress
2) rotate  (after this you noted: "observe file back to original size" - and considering that your previous remarks in this thread were about not altering image dimensions, then my conclusion was that you were referring to the file size - and the next step you gave bears that out.)
3) compress again

After I rotate it, the file returns to original size and I have to rotate it again to get it back to where it was.

Now you seem to be saying that when you rotate an image, save it, and then display it, it isn't rotated.

It might help if you gave us the settings you're using for vlastimil's program and attach one of the images that won't rotate so we can have a look at the EXIF data and try for ourselves.

1. The problem in the aforementioned thread (with respect to sizing) still exists.  I am following all steps correctly.
 a) Send JPEG to your app. b) rotate the picture  in ANY app [windows, xnview, acdsee, etc] and save. c) observe file back to original size. d) send picture back to your app to get it back to lower size.  No idea why this is happening
-stisev (April 20, 2015, 03:27 PM)

Wouldn't a better methodology be:
a) Rotate
b) Resize

Why resize twice, it just increases the number of artifacts.

And you still don't mention whether you're using Lossless JPEG Rotation, arbitrary angle rotation, etc.

XNView, from my testing just now doesn't change the file size appreciably when doing a Lossless JPEG rotation unless your options for JPEG writing will cause information, (metadata, internal thumbnail, etc), to be stripped, added, or changed.

eg. Here's the results of a 40MB JPEG after it's gone through four Lossless 90° Right rotations when compared to the original:

Rotate 4.jpg

Maximum difference in file size was ~60kB and that was only after the first and third rotation, (ie. the image was now 90° left or right rotated w.r.t. the original).

Use a CD pen, (permanent marker, Sharpie, etc), that's what I usually do.  You can always wipe it off with a little metho if required.

I wish they'd come out with a USB3 version of the Lexar Firefly, small with a nice big LED indicator that you could write on to show what it was used for.

FWIW, VeraCrypt has been able to mount/convert TrueCrypt partitions (non-system) and containers since v1.0f (30-12-2014).

And can mount, but not convert, a TC system partition since v1.0f-2 (05-04-2014).

The above is WRT to Windows OS.

(5) The new Apple Watch is a revolutionary device, but I worry it could turn into the Swiss Army Knife of tracking tools—video feeds, GPS locators, biometric sensors.
-Renegade (April 14, 2015, 09:02 AM)

I really don't think that kids have to be worried about being tracked while wearing one of these, no doubt they'd be mugged and have it stolen before they reach the end of the block.

I think you'll find it's the Czech Republic according to that map, Ireland is a close second.

Then again, if the Northern Territory was a country it would probably be on top - the rest of Australia is screwing up their average ;D

Is that due to my location?
-tomos (April 09, 2015, 01:34 AM)

Most likely.

But surely they dont have each location in various languages?

Yes, but only English, Spanish, and Portuguese are not in beta.

As per Batch Conversion tool:

So I expect when German leaves beta you'll most likely get German words for everywhere.

-bit (April 02, 2015, 05:21 PM)

Try turning on Normalize in xrecode.

If possible, also to enhance vocal frequencies.

For that you'll probably have to play around in an audio editor, eg. Audacity

For normal talking vocals, probably frequencies from 400-4000 Hz need a little playing around with, (IIRC, from my old telecommunications days).
