Okay so I have been given the task of adding a string to the bottom of some tiff images on export to a zip file. The application used to zip is JSZipUtils.
I searched for a package that would edit the file before zipping and couldn't find anything except some packages which seemed to act as wrappers to ImageMagick, I have used ImageMagick before for resizing but boss man is worried about performance on export as the user could in theory save thousands of files at a time to a zip.
Does anyone know of a better way to add text over an image in Meteor?
Dev systems are windows and UAT & Live are Red Hat

My research lab has a lab Google account to which we are expected to save/upload all of our files. To avoid the messy challenge of maintaining local files that can be read by RStudio as well as Cloud versions on the shared Google Drive account, I have recently began using Drive for Desktop to stream files from the Drive to my desktop to open in RStudio. (More specifically, I share my folder in the lab Drive with my personal Drive which in turn is synced/streamed to my Mac desktop.)
However, I believe this creates conflicts when Drive tries to sync/access files while RStudio is also updating those files (see: zero, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven). I do get a pop-up every so often that I have to close, but that is manageable. A bigger problem for now is that I have noticed that the Drive is now filled with random empty folders (see screenshot below). These folders are located within .Rproj.user. Does anyone know how to prevent these random folders from being generated when I use RStudio in this fashion? It is annoying because they show up in the Google Drive 'home page' and 'Recents' for everyone who accesses the shared Drive.
The other posts linked above describe the need to exclude some file types from sync in order to prevent conflicts, but the directions were for the old Google Drive Back Up and Sync system. I cannot find these settings in the new Drive for Desktop system, and I do not know if this would solve the random folder generation problem.
Has anyone encountered this problem before, know what causes it, or how to fix it?
Many thanks in advance.
Since Rstudio cloud is no longer free, I'd like to download my projects from it. I found a lot of information how to download files from the projects, but I need to download the projects themselves, because I'd like to keep on working on them and be able to use my previous code. Is there any option to reach this, except copying code from every single project as a text?
Thanks in advance for any help
Suddenly (at about the same time as upgrading to 0.9.0) my machine seems to be deleting older versions of Meteor-based apps, from anywhere on the machine including Dropbox. Thousands of files are disappearing. It is a little terrifying. Am I doing something wrong? Can I get them back?
You can retrieve deleted files from dropbox.com . There is a small trash bin icon "Show deleted files" and you can recover them.
I don't know what your files are, but if a program is deleting them according to their format for instance, you may want to zip/rar them prior to put them into the box. This can also save space if the goal is to archive them.
Before I attempt to program the following function myself, I wonder if something already exists.
What I would like to do is click an edit link on my website for a given document, and have that document launch in the native editor on my local machine (via a temporary file mechanism).
When I save the document in the native editor, the document is HTTP PUT back to the website. This can be accomplished by watching the file for writes, or watching the editor process for exit.
This way I can more easily edit documents on the web (instead of going through the download / edit / upload cycle).
My design would work as follows:
Register .webedit files on the local machine.
When a .webedit file is downloaded, launch webedit.exe with the file.
The file contains a URL (http://server/document) which is checked against a security database to ensure we're only opening allowed URLs.
The URL is downloaded to a temporary location.
The temporary file is launched in the native editor.
The file is watched for changes, and uploaded (HTTP PUT) on change detection (or when the editor is closed, if it's not a single-instance multiple-document editor).
Lots of FTP / SCP GUIs have this type of functionality, but I have not been able to find it for the web in general, or a shared library that allows you to plug in to this function.
Has anyone seen a program that does this?
SharePoint works like this.
It's great for managing shared documents in corporate environments.
Users can even checkout/checkin documents & the features are very extensible..you can customize pretty much anything if you know how.
Edit:
Since you're on Linux..i've heard that Alfreco is a great alternative.
I've never used it, but I know a couple organizations using it instead of SharePoint.
It integrates with Microsoft Office as well.
Also, it will definitely be cheaper.
I'm building an app in ASP.NET that will store some pictures of objects. The pictures will be uploaded by suppliers and downloaded by subscribers. In between, they will have to be edited before becoming available to subscribers.
The editing involves creating a cropping path tightly around the object in the picture, in which some advanced desktop image software will have to be used I suppose.
My problem is in exchanging pictures between my ASP.NET app and the desktop software in a manner that is easy and transparent for the user.
I've done some thinking and I've come up with:
- Manually downloading and uploading the image (Not much user friendly...)
- An image editing program that can upload to a web service (Haven't found yet...)
- Develop a plug-in for an image editing program (Too advanced...)
I'd appreciate any suggestions you may have, thank you!
It sounds like you need some automation to move files between the web server and a file share. I am assuming that the number of images that need to be processed is pretty large, because if it's not, then the overhead of downloading/re-uploading each would not be that much.
So do the following:
1) Create an API for your web app that lists files that are available, or new files since some date/time, or files that have been marked as "new". The API should probably also allow marking a status on them (so you can tell it when you've finishing pulling something down, and it won't be offered again) if you don't want to trust date/time as an indicator of it being new.
2) Write an app (non-web) that runs on a schedule and uses this API to automatically download files to a shared filesystem area in your local network, and marks them as "downloaded"
The app should also monitor these files (the ones it downloaded & saved to your local share) for changes, and if changed, upload them back to your web app. To do this you may need to keep a database of filenames and modification dates/times.
This shouldn't be too hard to write in whatever language you are using for your web (assume c# or vb). By "API" I just mean, a web page that provides a list in a standardized format (e.g. json) that you can parse with your automation application, and another page that allows posting the file back for re-upload.
I'm assuming that the web server is not your own, or generally, you can't simply have it save the file uploads directly to some area where your image editors can access them. Otherwise you could just do that.
Meanwhile I came out with another possible solution.
I'm thinking of having our own windows app on the editor's computers. This app will be associated with a custom extension. When an editor downloads a file (with this extension) for editing, it will be opened in our application which in turn will open the image in some editor program.
This app will be monitoring the files for changes, and in such case, it will upload these images.
Any thoughts on this?
