[ACFUG Discuss] Non-CF Question
With apologies for a question that not about CF, I noticed at least one Mac at a monthly meeting, so I'm sure this will be an easy question: I need to copy a massive amount of data from my Mac (which I wound up not using, and am pretty ignorant about) to a Windows-formatted external HD. Is there an easy way to do that? My experience so far: (1) Some files are on a Mac-formatted external HD which my Windows XP PC appears at first to recognize (it sounds its recognition bell and shows 'Disk recognized' and 'Disk installed' messages (or the like)in the lower right hand corner of the screen, but the disk doesn't show up in 'My Computer', even after a reboot. (2) Other files are on a Mac-formatted internal HD. When I plug an external Windows-formatted HD into my Mac, it recognizes it, and successfully copies files from it onto the Mac, but when I try to copy a file from the Mac onto the Windows-formatted HD, the Mac says that it cannot modify that HD. Am I out of luck?

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF Application needs image upload feature, best practices
I ended up using something like this for a CF7 app: http://archive.devx.com/webdev/articles/ml080102.asp While it worked fine, the quality of the images it spit out was a little lacking. I didn't spend a lot of time on it, but when resizing a jpg photo, you could definitely tell the image has been manipulated. I'm sure if I cared enough, I could have found a way to increase the quality. However, this was for a photo album of sorts for a small little website I wrote, and it wasn't that important that the pictures be print quality. I mostly cared about file size, in which case, this was perfect. I haevn't tried the image manipulation built into CF8 yet since it seemed like I had more powerful options using JAI anyhow. > Hi, > > We are planning to add a feature to our existing App's where in the user > will upload image file and we would store it in a location. > > I saw a nice example with image shrinking etc but its for CF 8. > http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/5/20/ColdFusion-Image-Processing--Shrinking-an-image-but-not-the-canvas > > I need something for CF 7.

Kyle did a talk on this a few months ago at ACFUG. He might have some ideas... -Cameron On Mon, Nov 17, 2008 at 10:18 AM, Ajas Mohammed <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We are planning to add a feature to our existing App's where in the user > will upload image file and we would store it in a location. > > I saw a nice example with image shrinking etc but its for CF 8. > http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/5/20/ColdFusion-Image-Processing--Shrinking-an-image-but-not-the-canvas > > I need something for CF 7.

[ACFUG Discuss] CF Application needs image upload feature, best practices
Hi, We are planning to add a feature to our existing App's where in the user will upload image file and we would store it in a location. I saw a nice example with image shrinking etc but its for CF 8. http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2008/5/20/ColdFusion-Image-Processing--Shrinking-an-image-but-not-the-canvas I need something for CF 7. Can someone throw some ideas? Anyone with experience as to what should be done and what should be avoided? any best practices to follow, so that it remains stable without too many issues. These are some of the rules I could think of. 1. what type of files I should allow gif jpg or both 2. what should be max width height 3.how to make the module reusable i.e. use the same code for other applications also with least amount of changes 4.show a thumbnail of 200x200 or little bigger and when user clicks on it, show them the fullimage. any examples or links would help. Thanks, -- http://ajashadi.blogspot.com We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are. No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do. You can't improve what you don't measure. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives. - To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -
