SOH Warbird Archive Library File Moves Completed

[SSI01]

I've got until next Tuesday to handle some for you. I'd like to rest my eyes for a while, but yes, I can do some more.

I've got until next Tuesday to handle some for you. I'd like to rest my eyes for a while, but yes, I can do some more.

I do not do more than 3 pages a day, usually only two. One early, one late in the day.

I will give you page lot 131-135. Restrict your work on this to 1-2 pages per day. That's plenty.

Thanks

If we're listing bad files...Page 32 - nieuport_type11_fs9.zip - 404; Page 33 - Eps_P-51CFL_Gladys.zip - invalid archive; Page 38 - sf8_f86_king.zip - 404.

Um, do our uploads disappear after a few seconds if Rami is approving them? I always immediately double-check each of my uploads after they go through, but I just tried to check one and it said there was nothing new to view. Then my last ten uploads disappeared too.

[Rami]

Patful,

If I happen to moderating it, yes. I am switching the names from the uploader to the original one if possible, and inserting the correct date. When this happens, it moved the upload to the correct position in the library.

Milton and Rami,

Getting ready to start uploading page 101 now. Had to come here to find instructions for original uploader and dates, since I can't change it. Found those ok.

Noticed a bunch of error 404 messages about files missing/damaged. I have a pretty good number of them, so, if people can post those file names, I can check and if I have them, upload those I have, if that's ok. Will post them as if they are not damaged, (as we are doing now) if you want me to. I keep all my downloaded files in their original state, so I have them exactly as originally uploaded. I just file them in my library under model author's name, for all aircraft related files, and country name for scenery.

Don,

404 errors were files lost in the 2010 server crash. More than 95% of those were already uploaded to the new library.

Ok, Rami. Thanks.

I remember doing some of those, myself.

If you need any, let me know. I don't have everything, but I do have quite a few aircraft and paints, along with a large number of mods.

I'm an insufferable collector. Have over 500GB of 2004 stuff.

We have to move no less than 80 files a day on average to meet the deadline. Thats 5.3 pages per day total.

If we all (10 of us) do 1 page of uploads a day on average, we will get done with this transition with time to spare.

I do not want anyone burning themselves out on this. This is not urgent unless we fall below 6 people times 1 page per day.

Take your time, do not burn out on this.

I really appreciate all your efforts jumping on this challenge. But I know many of you are "time challenged" and there are other things that need attention.

Set a pace, get your 1 or 2 pages done per day (on average, or 7 pages per week) and we will be in great shape.

Thanks a bunch!

Milton:

Just FYI. There is a nice freeware program called PHOTOFILTRE that I will use to compress the .jpeg image files from about 90-100% (high quality) down to 10% (low quality). I really do not see any measurable difference in what is viewed but the savings in file size is tremendous. This may be of use to SOH to save a lot of server file space and I cannot think of any other method to do this.

Here is a sample from my assigned pg. 127 of FS2K4 (WOP_BF109E_BLACK_3.zip). It just came to me that the library may have a use for this software.

That is something that Rami and the management team will have to decide upon. The library may already compress the jpegs or resize them, not sure.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Not happening so far. Many of the files on some of the pages were about 1MB, so they went faster than expected.

Weird, I had a repeat of the "invalid email address" as I uploaded my last file of the night. Had to log in again, but ended up uploading the wrong file, so there are now two "AFRES Silver C-123 Corrected" and one "AFRES Gray C-123 Corrected". The similar names confused me. Sorry about that!

31-40 done. Looking at Page 46, I will slow down.

LOL Thanks patful; I suspect we have all done that at one tiome or another.

Thanks a bunch! :-)
