thanks for the gallery, seems to work pretty good. not sure if gif and flash are accepted?

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:06:41

Flash wouldn't be, I'm not sure about GIF but I doubt it somehow.

anz1066 · Dec 22, 2007, 09:13:17

one way to find out realy

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:18:26

That was what I was thinking, I'll have a play later.

anz1066 · Dec 22, 2007, 09:28:11

i just uploaded a gif,flash(swf) and an avi. space available is 500 megs
very good

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:29:34

I'm amazed at the flash. Thanks for letting me know.

anz1066 · Dec 22, 2007, 09:32:06

one of them doesn`t display, (but can be downloaded) can`t remember which one cos i`ve been up all night lol

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:37:39

I don't tend to do that anymore - I just feel like I have been.

anz1066 · Dec 22, 2007, 09:39:36

i`m gonna get some shut eye now m8, cya l8r

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:43:16

Sleep well.

Just discovered that you can remove exif details etc. I learn all the time, a lovely Christmas gift from IDNET.

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 09:52:13

I've taken them off mine, Alf - can't give away too many trade secrets.

I've uploaded a photo ok, but when I tried to upload a 98MB mpeg it refused. Anyone any ideas?

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 15:53:44

It's probably an unsupported format, Colin. I haven't seen a definitive list, but I'll try and find one.

colirv · Dec 22, 2007, 16:08:41

OK, thanks Rik. If it is to support films (and it seems to support avi) then I'd have thought mpg ought to be included - possibly even wmv.

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 16:10:41

I've been looking at the documentation (click on the Gallery icon, bottom left) and the way I read things is that users install a graphics library, which determines what file types are supported, so there isn't a standard set.

I'll try and get a list if I can.

colirv · Dec 22, 2007, 16:56:33

That sounds similar to Coppermine, which I use to host family photographs on our website. The administrator can set all sorts of limits, including file types. I can always put my film there if it turns out not to be allowed here.

Rik · Dec 22, 2007, 17:23:32

I've sent an email, but obviously, it might not get the normal response this coming week.

Once I have a list, I'll publish it here.

colirv · Dec 22, 2007, 17:32:53

Quite! Thanks, Rick.

anz1066 · Dec 22, 2007, 23:43:10

the file was too big, it says something like 8 meg max at one time

Note: You can upload up to 8 megabytes at one time. No individual file may be larger than 5 megabytes. If you want to upload more than that, you must upload the files separately, use a different upload format, or ask your system administrator to allow larger uploads.

Doh - I missed that!

Rik · Dec 23, 2007, 01:01:34

We may be able to tease a larger file size out of IDNet. What sort of figure are you thinking of?

Perhaps 100MB - enough, say, for a video of a Christmas party that friends and relatives can either stream or download. I'm not too bothered to be honest, Rik, as I do have web space elsewhere (although it's starting to get a bit full!) plus IDNet's ordinary web space that I haven't used yet, and I certainly don't want to abuse what I think is a very generous offer of a facility from IDNet - which I imagine they intended to be used just for photographs.

You can see why I was querying bandwidth. If 10 of my relatives download a 100MB film that's 1GB gone for starters! Equally, I suppose that's already the case with the normal web space that IDNet gives us.

Rik · Dec 23, 2007, 09:43:36

Martin has given me the list of supported file formats (so much for support being closed!):

application/photoshop (psd)
audio/basic (au snd)
audio/midi (kar midi mid)
audio/mpeg (mp3 mp2 mpga)
audio/x-aiff (aif aifc aiff)
audio/x-ms-wma (wma)
audio/x-wav (wav)
image/bmp (bmp)
image/gif (gif)
image/jpeg-cmyk (jpgcmyk)
image/jpeg (jpg jpe jpeg)
image/png (png)
image/svg+xml (svg)
image/tga (tga)
image/tiff-cmyk (tifcmyk)
image/tiff (tiff tif)
image/vnd.wap.wbmp (wbmp)
image/x-photo-cd (pcd)
image/x-portable-pixmap (ppm)
video/mp4 (mp4)
video/mpeg (mpe mpeg mpg)
video/quicktime (qt mov)
video/x-flv (flv)
video/x-ms-asf (asf)
video/x-msvideo (avi)
video/x-ms-wmv (wmv)

He's going to look into large file uploads, more news as I get it.

Phil123 · Dec 23, 2007, 15:47:27

Wow I'm amazed, all those formats, however I have to admit I don't even no what some of them are

Rik · Dec 23, 2007, 15:49:51

I've not come across flv Phil, most of the rest I know, but why there's support for CMYK files for online display does puzzle me.

Lance · Dec 23, 2007, 16:04:40

If there is a maximum amount of available space (500mb?) is there an issue about individual file size from IDNet's POV? Surely they could look at it and just see it that a customer has 500mb to use, and the number of files using that space is up to the customer.

Rik · Dec 23, 2007, 16:06:15

Martin plans to deal with the file size limit, Lance, but I'm not sure when he will implement changes.

Rik · Jan 02, 2008, 15:04:42

Martin has changed the upload size to 80MB today.

Lance · Jan 02, 2008, 15:27:55

Thanks Rik, and Martin!

colirv · Jan 03, 2008, 17:53:29

Thanks from me too.
