Use Info for EZ-Download

[ZapMe1]

Sounds like it should be faster !!   I'll give it a try once I get everything re-loaded on my new SD card..   My old one is going to the "Grave-Yard"..

I thought you brought it back to live...

I thought you brought it back to live...

I did also...   I reformatted the card, and checked it for errors, and it came back clean !!
I reloaded everything, and then this morning when I checked it, 20 out of my 40 folders were erased...   Gone...  Poof !!!  

I have a 128MB that I'm using for now until my new one gets here !!

I guess it is the time to let it go....You did your best to revive it

"Resizing the image..."

I've been working on this for, it feels like a couple of weeks now. I was hoping to find a little EXE that I could call from Radar.exe like ezDownload to resize an image. I could not find anything. I then tried to write my own EXE (image resizing for WM2003SE is pretty complex, and I could not find any sample code). The best solution I could find was to write a PHP script that runs on my server to download an image (gif only) from a URL and then create a resized image with a suffix. I then use Radar.exe to download these images to my PDA.

Here's a sample link, try it out with your gif:

Here's the SURL's from Radar.txt for the two images:

SURL=http://24.34.11.59/traffic.gif

and

SURL=http://24.34.11.59/traffic_sm.gif

Have Fun...

 In the past two weeks, I also trying to do the same thing.  Find an exe to do the "resizing".  Just like you, there was no luck..  

 Then I realized that the "resizing" image might just solve one issue.  For me, not only I would like to be able to view the whole thing, but also like to view it clearer.  With these in mind, I sort of setting to use image vewer to view the image.  The up sides are to get nice image support features, usch as zoom in/out, moving and panning the image.  The downside is that you do this out of the TP.  This was not so bad because you go back to TP once you close the viewer.  You just can not add extra things to the image.

 Last week, I found a site named "Rent-A-Coder" and I put a project on it.  It is not free but I think I am willing to pay someone who can do it and I also can get codes.  If this does come out somethings, you bet I will share with everyone here for free.    But so far only one coder put the bid.

 But your approach is an extra thing and could be very useful.  My hat to you that you are willing to this for us.  jhollin1138, waht do you think??

@eemond,

Does the small image stored on the server, update when opened ??

I was thinking along this same path, and tried storing a resized image on my server, but couldn't think of a way to update..  UK and I were trying to work on this, but no luck on this end !!

ZapMe1,

Don't understand "update when opened" ?

[ZapMe1]

Update to the latest Traffic info !!

[eemond]

It'a a static image (traffic.gif and traffic_sm.gif). Two ways to get an updated image is:

1.) reload the static images with the aforementioned ImageResizer.php (this loads a newer, but still statis image).

2.) For my traffic example, click the page image (from my RSS, bottom icon on the right) this will take you to the realtime image for the selected incident (see below).

jhollin1138, waht do you think??

About what?  The sound of one hand clapping?  Why is the sky blue?  If a tree falls and nobody is around, does it make a sound?
