SOH Warbird Archive Library File Moves Completed

**patful** · May 28th, 2012, 20:32

At the end of my first page, there's an aircraft without the gauges, and another uploaded file with only the gauges. For simplicity, I put the gauges in the aircraft's correct folder and dropped the gauges upload. Does this make me a bad person? I haven't uploaded it yet, was hoping to get the OK first.

I guess that is fine but more than I would do. If it will upload, I just upload it. With 4700 files, no time for babysitting. :-)

Two pages done in two-and-a-half hours, your 75-minute estimate was right. Fun and interesting to see all these files again, go ahead and give me 30 pages if you're happy with my results. Just glad to contribute.

Thank you Pat; greatly appreciated. I too am knocking out two pages per day. That kind of pace really will keep us ahead of schedule. :-)

New assignments posted in the top first page post.

Firebar,

By "invalid," do you mean a 404 error? If that's the case, move on. Those files were lost in the 2010 server crash, and many have been replaced in the Warbirds Library.

Also, I have approved all uploads to this point. If you come across a "patch" for something, like the one for Epsillon's P-51 repaints, you can apply the patch to the original file and make a note in the file.

I did this with the patch for his three P-51s, including them with the original files and deleting the patch while I was moderating them.

Oops, sorry about that. I did fix a file with missing gauges, but didn't think to do the same for those P-51's.

Thanks Pat. No big deal. If you want to do such fixes, that's to your discretion. I am not encouraging it but do not object either but it is difficult to TEST changes and takes a lot of time.

We have lots of files to move and that is my focus. :-)

SSI01 has moved pgs 41 & 42 - taking a break to pick up some 'scrips at the pharmacy & will return shortly.

Hello Milton,
I volunteer. I have never uploaded anything before but it's time to learn how. I will review the video and
wait for an assignment. Glad to help.

Nope when I tried opening the file for an image it said "Windows cannot open the folder.

The Compressed (zipped) Folder C:\...\106B_319th_FIS.zip is invalid."

Tried redownloading and the same happened.

Greetings Milton, I have all my files & pics ready to send. I have uploaded the first (WW2 P51 Passion Wagon updated) but could not enter the original name (Greenhouse357) nor date and time (2008-03-27 10:47:57). The screen would not allow me to change them, it was set with arfyhun and real upload time.

Any way round this? It worked lovely on your video but I'm blocked.

If you need me to carry on I'm more than happy to.

Please advise mate,

Graham.

Thank you John; we really need the help :-)

I have assigned page lots 76-80 to you. If you have any questions, post or PM me.

Thanks :-)

Firebar, just ignore that file and move on. No problem. :-)

Here are the current rules with your answer in RED and large type. Thanks.

It is VITAL that when you display the archive pages, you display at "15 per page".
See the graphic from my first post. This is essential to avoid duplication of efforts and to manage coordination.

If you receive any "404 Page not found" messages, it means that file is unavailable. Ignore it and move on.

The Submitters name is case sensitive. It is best to copy/paste the name. If that name is no longer valid, you may use your name or place them under the user name "NMG." (Non-Member Group)
.
If you cannot change the submitters name, just leave it as yours.

If you cannot change the date and time to the original uploaded times, then copy paste the original date time and the submitter's name into the description.

If there is no picture in the archive, move on without the picture. No problem.
