File (tool)

“ DjVu text layer, but rather from the text included in the GPO’s source PDFs. To explain, the workflow I have been following (with some purely clerical steps, such as file renaming, omitted) looks like this: Apparent garbage pages: the pamthreshold tool tries its best to find black pixels in a grayscale image. When the grayscale image is very light (for example, a photocopy of a blank page where text appears only on the opposite face) , it will keep adjusting the “contrast” level until what you are seeing is the facing text “bleeding through.” ”

“ Got! :-) George or Bee (can I make your nick shorter?) , try this in a js console staying in Index:De re metallica (1912) .djvu, and try different values for eq () or do what you like: $ (".toc-data") .eq (1) .data () I feel that it's a good way, a KISS one. :-D --Alex brollo (talk) 11:55, 22 July 2013 (UTC) You are obviously in love with throw-away, work bench called Page: namespace. Why? Its just a tool! Good source file is ALWAYS the best way to "digitize" from one file format to another -- not stupid space used to compare right-side picture to left-side transcription. ”

“ The proc filesystem contains information about the system and running processes. Some of the “files” in /proc are reasonably understandable to humans (try typing cat /proc/meminfo or cat /proc/cpuinfo) ; others are arcane collections of numbers. Often, system utilities use these to gather information and present it to you in a more understandable way.
People frequently panic when they notice one file in particular— /proc/kcore —which is generally huge. This is (more or less) a copy of the contents of your computer’s memory. It’s used to debug the kernel. ”

“ Should a file become quite empty, with not even face-down cards in it, then it is possible to fill it with a king and any proper following sequence, should such a one be within reach in any other file. ”

“ Always strive to upload complete and workable source files. Flawed files with missing pages, blurred images, duplicate pages and similar defects that may hinder the proofreading process should be addressed prior to uploading whenever possible.
Actions on Wikisource:
Replace the "File" with "Index" in the page title and go to this page. For example, if the file is called File:Filename.djvu, enter the page title Index:Filename.djvu. Enter this title into the search box on Wikisource, and press "enter. On the resulting page, you will find a link to "create" this page. ”

“ This is as of early 1996; note that the threshold for `real computer' rises with time. See {bitty box} and {toy}.
:GFR: /G-F-R/ /vt./ [ITS: from `Grim File Reaper', an ITS and LISP Machine utility] To remove a file or files according to some program-automated or semi-automatic manual procedure, especially one designed to reclaim mass storage space or reduce name-space clutter (the original GFR actually moved files to tape) . Often generalized to pieces of data below file level. "I used to have his phone number, but I guess I {GFR}ed it." ”

“ ThomasV (talk) 10:04, 22 January 2010 (UTC) When updating the files, it gives ready access to the file, which is particularly useful with all the purging that I have been needing to undertake to reunite texts with their images. I would agree that the field name is self-evident, and that it maybe has morphed over time. File type is possibly what it should be labelled, and I have thought about doing something, however, I stir the pot often enough. ”

“ What format is being looked at to supply the information? We encourage image files with text layers, though that is usually when we are proofreading / transcribing, which isn't going to be happening on this occasion. Our preferred means is .djvu file, and these are uploaded to Commons, which obviously makes them universally available. If they create a PDF file with a text layer, see instructions about conversion at the djvu link. Alternatively, mention where we can download a PDF file, and a number of us can assist. ”

“ A directory is simply a list of filenames and inode numbers, that is, a list of hard links. When you create a hard link, you’re just adding a name-number pair to a directory. When you delete a file, you’re just removing a hard link from a directory. ”

“ Nowadays, like many operating systems, UNIX hides behind a graphical user interface like the X Windows system. Occasionally—and networking is unfortunately one of those occasions— its quirks like file-naming and directory hierarchy peek through.
This Appendix gives you just enough UNIX to avoid some pitfalls and issue commands needed to transfer files. The basic commands you need to know for any system are how to display directories and list the contents of files, how to name files, and how to get help about the system. ”

“ This file is in DjVu, a computer file format designed primarily to store scanned documents, especially those containing text and line drawings. It features advanced technologies such as image layer separation of text and background/images, progressive loading, arithmetic coding, and lossy compression for bitonal images. This allows for high quality, readable images to be stored in a minimum of space, so that they can be made available on the web. You may view this DjVu file here online. ”

“ File with, to rank with, to be equal to.—Single file, Indian file, of men marching one behind another. [Fr. file—L. filum, a thread.]
File, fīl, n. a steel instrument with sharp-edged furrows for smoothing or rasping metals, &c.: any means adopted to polish a thing, as a literary style: a shrewd, cunning person, a deep fellow: a pickpocket.—v.t. to cut or smooth with, or as with, a file: to polish, improve.—n. File′-cut′ter, a maker of files.—adj. Filed, polished, smooth.—ns. File′-fish, a fish of genus Balistes, the skin granulated like a file ”

“ The colors used in the line drawings represent the transcriber’s best guess. To try an alternative version, do one of two things:
Open the “images” directory, rename the folder line_main (to anything) and then rename line_alt to line_main.
Or, if you are comfortable editing HTML text, globally change line_main to line_alt in this file. (The Technical Note has been formatted so you will not accidentally change anything in this paragraph.) Save under a new name to keep both versions.
The illustrations with a gold background are taken from the endpapers. ”

“ It is part of the file system information (fsinfo) structure 1510 that also contains information 1510A including the number of blocks in the file system, the creation time of the file system, etc. The miscellaneous information 1510A further comprises a checksum 1510C (described below) . ”

“ This index file allows you to open all of the OFF-LINE files, chapters and illustrations in this set now on your hard disk. The name INDEX may of course be renamed as you wish, for example: RAWLINSON INDEX.
When using the index or any of the files you may use the BACK button to return from any link.
5. This archive of Project Gutenberg eBooks in the files directory (see instruction #3) also includes, in addition to the usual HTML files for your computer, two sets of mobile viewer files for Kindles, Nooks and others which use .mobi or .epub formats. ”

“ One thing to keep in mind is that a file is not necessarily the same as a program — it could also be a document. This means you can use archie to search for, say, everything online related to the Beetles, as well as computer programs and graphics files. A number of Net sites now have their own archie programs that take your request for information and pass it onto the nearest archie database — ask your system administrator if she has it online. These "client" programs seem to provide information a lot more quickly than the actual archie itself! ”

“ Many programs define one or more dot files in which startup or configuration information may be optionally recorded; a user can customize the program's behavior by creating the appropriate file in the current or home directory. (Therefore, dot files tend to creep -- with every nontrivial application program defining at least one, a user's home directory can be filled with scores of dot files, of course without the user's really being aware of it.) See also profile (sense 1) , rc file.

“ WAFL inode 230 points to WAFL inode 240. WAFL inode 240 points to inode 250. The pointer 250A of WAFL inode 250 contains a null value and therefore does not point to another inode. Thus, it is the last inode in the list 210 of dirty inodes. Each inode in the list 210 represents a file comprising a tree of buffers as depicted in FIG. 10. At least one of the buffers referenced by each inode 220-250 is a dirty buffer. A dirty buffer contains modified data that must be written to a new disk location in the WAFL system. WAFL always writes dirty buffers to new locations on disk. ”

“ In the average library they become dead stock in a few months or years. Pamphlet collections should be weeded out more frequently than book collections.

If the folders are closely classified, the ordinary printed index to the classification scheme used is a fairly good key; but a slip index of some kind will exhaust the file better and accelerate reference. ”

“ The greater accuracy of draw-filing occurs because the high parts of the file can be selected and the file so balanced that this high part covers the place on the work requiring to be filed, while the strokes may be made to suit the length of the spot to be filed. ”

“ When I scan a book in multiple parts, I upload them without metadata here so they can be combined and reuploaded as one file with metadata at Commons. 2. Especially for books of length, that would take a great deal of time; this book, scanning with PDF as native, took me over six hours in two sittings. I usually make (and will make in this case) high-quality scan images of pages with images. Another problem is file size: I have to scan to a flash drive which only has about 6 GB of free space, so scanning high-quality images would require more sittings. ”

“ Our example file's derive history highlights on the left and a 2 day old file's derive history highlights to the right -- note the (v##### or version no. for each.
Not only have the modules and software been updated in those 4 some-odd years but we are presented with an unusual opportunity in this case. Look closer at the Index of files for our example... notice the .PDF file (line 4) is not the "oldest" file of the bunch? ”

“ When a .DjVu is uploaded and hosted as a source-file, all that additional, internal "informative data" is processed as / forced to the metadata part of the File: namespace where one typically finds info like camera-type, various date, dpi, colors, and similar for true image files like .PNGs, .JPGs and .TIFFs for example. ”

“ A file, as every one knows, is a steel instrument, having flat or curved surfaces so notched or serrated as to produce a series of fine teeth or cutting edges, which are employed for the abrasion of metal, ivory, wood, &c. ”

“ What is also absent from the summary above is that most the discussion has been over our internal filename, which may or may not be reflected in the title we use for the user-accessible version of the work. We could upload a file to Commons as File:Fred.dvju, use Index:Fred.djvu locally, create Page:Fred.djvu, and still title that work Axioms Outlined by Artistotle. Our internal filename and public work title do not have to match, nor do they even have to resemble each other. Frequently, they do not. ”

“ So if there's a message you want to keep, you should either turn on your computer's screen capture or save it to a file which you can later download) . To save a message as a file in rn, type
s filename
where filename is what you want to call the file. Hit enter. You'll be asked if you want to save it in "mailbox format." In most cases, you can answer with an n (which will strip off the header) . The message will now be saved to a file in your News directory (which you can access by typing cd News and then hitting enter) . ”

“ Go to your Download Directory and double-click on the downloaded file (28871-h.zip) , and move the directory 28871-h to this or any other directory you would like. Then double-click on 28871-h; you will see several directories: you may rename the directory named files to any name you wish, such as RAWLINSON. You may move this file to any directory on your computer.
4. In the newly named directory containing all the eBooks in this set you will find a shortcut named INDEX in capital letters, this shortcut can be used here or copied to your desktop or any directory on your computer. ”

“ When we post a HTML eBook containing multiple files, whether they contain text or images, we post them only in zipped format, so if you don't have images, and want your text to be directly accessible, you should stick to one file where possible. ”

“ To send files to some device or program (a `spooler') that queues them up and does something useful with them later. The spooler usually understood is the `print spooler' controlling output of jobs to a printer, but the term has been used in connection with other peripherals (especially plotters and graphics devices) and occasionally even for input devices. See also {demon}.
:spool file: n. Any file to which data is {spool}ed to await the next stage of processing. Especially used in circumstances where spooling the data copes with a mismatch between speeds in two devices or pieces of software. ”

“ Uploading the original scans will allow users to proofread and verify the text through the ProofreadPage extension. What type of files are the scans of the source text? Common file types include TIFF, JPEG, and PDF. For many file types, you can use Any2DjVu to convert your scans to DJVU. Once you have a DJVU file, you can upload it to commons and begin adding the text to Wikisource. Cheers, stephen (talk) 17:11, 7 October 2010 (UTC) Reaching Out Hi again,
How hard would it be to create a list of all the parameters and their values currently found in in existing EO headers? ”
