Quickplace 3.01 anyone??


Tags :


        Well I see the Release Notes for Quickplace 3.01 is out the door.  And the great news is......well it runs only on 5.012 and not Domino 6 yet.  The release notes specifically state this must be loaded on 5.012 and only 5.012, not another 5.0x version.

        As for the LVC blog I did  two days ago I received a comment from Michael Braly wanting more info.  Plus I loved his comment about what blogs are helpful for.  So I hope he doesn't mind I posted it here.  Well heck, it is a public comment so he can't mind now can he?  lol


I love this kind of stuff.  Please keep us posted on what's eating the disk space and why you can't post large files.
This is the type of information you get from blogs and no where else.


        Well to answer him, the LVC was creating horrendous bitmap temp files on the C drive for all the presentations that were being loaded.  Each slide is a bitmap.  So imagine 1.3 GB of bitmaps and that was growing as they did more sessions.  As we got to 4MB free, well the system choked.  I had hoped that the server would remove them.  Well it does, unfortunately if there is a crash they sit there on the next reboot as we quickly discovered.  Also, the system CANNOT, repeating for those not reading me here, CANNOT go down between the time you schedule a session and the time it is to go live.  Otherwise, well no session.
        Also, you cannot upload large files because the thing plainly just won't work.  There is a technote on it also (#1105127).  You have to call support for them to tell you to reak the file into smaller ones.

        Creating courses with large presentation files
Problem (Instructors):  Sometimes during a session, large presentation files either do not display in the outline or prevent the entire outline from displaying. This is particularly true of large presentations over 1 MB that contain lots of graphics.

Resolution: To workaround this problem, you can break up large presentation files into smaller files when you create the course. To fix this problem, contact Customer Support.


        Hope everyone has a good weekend, or had a great one if reading this on Monday.  I am making one more change to the right sidebar at some point adding recent comments.  I already verified and added the RSS icon with the current upgrade I did today to the blog version!!!
