![]() ![]() And the latter has a very bad reputation on the Windows platform.Īnother thing I noticed (geez, I'm full of criticism today) is that you seem to be calling it Bvckup2 now? Is this a permanent name or just a codename, and did the application itself not change versions? To quote your blog, and hopefully demonstrate a small fear regarding this naming: Bvckup (and I assume Bvckup2) are Windows Applications, and just looking at the website and its usage alone, I get a very strong iPhone or iTunes feel. The website feels way too Apple-ish to me, and to be honest I find it offputting. You replied to half of it I think, the other half never came (but I don't fault you for that I know how easy it is to get busy and simply forget.) I stopped using Bvckup v1 quite some time back I remember it was in beta back then and I posted a bunch of findings and such on your forum. Be it on the idea, design or the time it takes to get it done :) Got a thought or an opinion? A snide remark, perhaps? Most excellent, I am all ears. The dev blog is here, and if you are truly bored, there are some bits and pieces of graphic design goodness on Dribbble. Technical details on the version 2 are here. Previous DC thread on the original version is here. But it yields 5x speed up, so it's worth an effort. If you are partial to programming, you may recognize this as fairly complicated stuff. The scan of a tree on a local disk is about 5 times faster than in the original version, and this is largely thanks to a custom lock-free slab memory allocator used internally by the program. I will be putting up some concrete speed improvement numbers in a bit, but to give a rough idea - the scan of directory tree on a network share is now under 3 seconds versus over 30 second taken by Windows Explorer. The product itself is a step up from the original version in all areas. It is also my best webdesign work to date. While the site is a simple teaser, its main purpose is to showcase minimalistic design aesthetics employed in Bvckup 2. I am very happy to announce the launch of the Bvckup 2 website, the real-time minimalistic backup for Windows. There is another setting which must be set correctly to see. However, clearing the icon cache or rebooting may not be enough. I selected the one mentioned by telemarker. The extensions mentioned by Deckard and telemarker work on Windows 10 圆4. Which resets the icon cache without having to reboot. Therefore, for Windows 8 and above, we have the RebuildIconCache8.bat file as follows: OFFĭEL "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer\iconcache_*.db" /A I honestly don't know if this file is used or not, but, to be thorough, it would be best to continue to delete that file as well. Note that, in addition to the above files, Windows 8 still retains the "%LOCALAPPDATA%\IconCache.db" file. As an example, that directory on my system includes the following files: iconcache_16.db thumbcache_16.dbĪs a result, in order to clear the icon cache in Windows 8 or above, you would need to delete all of the 'iconcache_*.db' files in the above directory. These files are stored in "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Explorer". Instead of a single file containing the entire icon cache, Windows 8 uses multiple cache files, based on the size and type of icon. Windows 8 introduced a new icon and thumbnail cache system. I know this question was asked about Windows 7, but I thought it would be useful to add instructions for Windows 8 and above. It will kill all Windows Explorer processes, which is required before you can delete the icon cache, then delete the icon cache, and, finally, reboot your system.Īs noted by below, the last line, "shutdown /r /f /t 5 /d 02:04", can simply be replaced with "explorer.exe", getting rid of the need to reboot. Per the comment by John Rasch, if you can't see the SVG thumbnails after following the steps above, you can clear your icon cache using the following batch file: OFFĬopy this to RebuildIconCache.bat and run it as Administrator. This extension has worked perfectly for me on both Win7_圆4 and Win8_圆4! In fact, I was recently pleasantly surprised to learn that it displays thumbnails for compressed SVGZ images as seamlessly as it does the non-compressed versions. If not, then simply reboot your system so that the new explorer extension can load.įrom then on, all SVG images will show up as thumbnails in Windows Explorer. NOTE: Please do the above step only if you're comfortable with killing and restarting processes through the Task Manager. In the dialog box, simply type explorer and hit OK. From the Task Manager menu, choose File->Run new task menu. Once installed, open Task Manager and kill all instances of explorer.exe. Download and install Dotz Software SVG Explorer Extension, aka DSSEE. The code contained in SVG images can be hard to understand if you’re new to its file format.Adobe Illustrator isn't the only way to do this, nor is it the best way to do this.įollow the link he provided to the SVG Explorer Extension. ![]() You may find it a challenge to use SVG files with Internet Explorer 8 and other older browsers. Only modern browsers can support SVG images.JPEG files are generally better for detailed photographs. But their lack of pixels makes displaying high-quality digital photos difficult. SVG files are great for web graphics like logos, illustrations, and charts.Search engines can also read and index SVG image text. This is very useful for people who need help reading webpages. Because SVG files treat text as text (and not as design), screen readers can scan any words contained in SVG images.Basic SVG files are often smaller than raster images, which are built from lots of colored pixels rather than using mathematical algorithms.You don’t have to worry about SVG images losing their quality in certain browsers or when you resize them to appear in different places. Unlike raster files, which are made up of pixels, vector graphics like SVGs always maintain their resolution - no matter how large or small you make them. ![]() It’s worth researching SVG advantages and disadvantages before saving your images in this file format. ![]() The bottom section (Mic Patch) is where you configure any microphones that are being fed into QLab, it’s inputs.

The option of creating and trading players also returns, and can be made more realistic by employing salary caps and trading deadlines within a season.ĭuring a game, the same graphics style employed by the previous year's game is used: polygonally-rendered 3D stadiums with players, ball and referees as 2D bitmaps. The tournament consists of a round-robin round followed by semi-finals and finals. Players create their own teams by giving them names and then drafting players. Fantasy Draft is a custom tournament mode for four or eight teams. Custom Season allows players to customize the NFL divisions and thus the schedule with all available teams, including the classic teams. Added to these are the new Custom Season and Fantasy Draft. Returning playing modes from the predecessor are Exhibition, Season (including Playoffs and Super Bowl, based on the 1997 NFL schedule) and Tournament (8 or 16 player single elimination). Further teams and stadiums can be unlocked via secret codes. All the team's home stadiums plus the Pro Bowl stadium in Hawaii and the Super Bowl stadium in San Diego are available.

If students work on this task in groups and share their insights, then it is also a good opportunity to engage in MP7, Look For and Make Use of Structure, since the goal of the task is to help students understand the multiplication table from the point of view of factorizations. ![]() The main standard for mathematical practice which aligns with this task is The first non-prime number not appearing in the table is $22 = 2 \times 11$, the product of the smallest prime number with the smallest prime number bigger than 9. This makes sense in the context because a prime number cannot be written as a product of two smaller whole numbers. The last part of this question gives an opportunity for the teacher to discuss prime numbers since the list of numbers the students produce will all be primes. Working through the table to see where different numbers appear, the students will have a good opportunity to observe the symmetry of the table which comes from the commutative property of multiplication: $a \times b = b \times a$. For example, 24 appears 4 times in the table:Ģ4 = 3 \times 8 = 8 \times 3 = 6 \times 4 = 4 \times 6.įor the 9 by 9 multiplication table shown, only the numbers 1 through 9 appear with all of their factorizations. The table shows some, but not necessarily all, factorizations of different numbers. Or to find 6 x 12, I'd remember 5 x 12 is 60, then add another 12 to get 72.The goal of this task is to encourage students to study the multiplication table, a familiar object, from a novel point of view. So to work out 6 x 7, I'd remember 5 x 7 is 35, then add another 7 to get 42.
