Speaking from experience, the first attempts of this have been clunky and sending an 8 year old home with a laptop is something I definitely never had as a student. Schools – it’s apparent that replacing onsite “chair time” with online coursework and training has given an opportunity for educators to innovate in new ways. Some are even offering online cooking lessons. Restaurants – even though in-house dining has been dramatically cut, savvy restaurant owners found ways to replace lost revenue by upping the ante with take-out services. There are plenty of ways to work on that six pack without leaving the comfort of home. Instead, they could offer video classes to be held online. Health Clubs – it’s pretty clear most people don’t want to show up and sweat to the oldies wearing a mask. The magazine Fast Company recently identified several different industries that should have gotten the message to start “Zoomifying” their businesses (if they haven’t already). When it became clear that showing up didn’t have to mean “in person,” creative business owners found ways to create commerce using Zoom and other online conferencing tools. From that you can get the base directory easily (just remove the ImageProperties.xml or TileGroup#/#-#-#.jpg from the end).One of the by-products of the great lockdown has been the ZOOMification of many businesses. Now reload the page containing the Zoomify object and look for URLs ending with /ImageProperties.xml or /TileGroup#/#-#-#.jpg. If you are using Google Chrome / Chromium open the JavaScript Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and select the "Network" tab. If you are using Firefox, open the Browser Console (Ctrl+Shift+J) and make sure the "Net" switch is on. This sounds very techy, but it isn't that hard. The harder but reliable way is to check the outgoing HTTP requests sent by your browser for the files that the Zoomify applet is demanding from the server. However, the actual Zoomify base directory is, but Dezoomify wouldn't be able to guess that the xml suffix doesn't belong. This might reveal a relatively simple base directory location that Dezoomify couldn't work out.įor example, the page has the following code: zoomifyImagePath=/img/auktionen/A84/z/78010029xml&zoomif圜lickZoom=1&zoomifySlider=0&zoomifySplash=0 If you need to determine the base directory manually, the first thing to do is check the page source and search for "zoomifyImagePath". Workarounds Determine the base directory manually Easy, fallible way In this case, you may be able to spoof them as needed to fool the server into thinking Dezoomify is a "normal" browser. Sometimes the server refuses to serve clients which have incorrect HTTP referrers, user agent strings or cookies. In these cases, the best solution is to determine the base directory manually and use that instead of the normal URL (use the -b switch, e.g. Either way, Dezoomify cannot find the base directory correctly. Others use a modified Zoomify Flash applet that super-imposes markers or other information. However, not all usages of Zoomify are that simple, and some have a complex URL that doesn't get parsed properly by Dezoomify. This will tell Dezoomify where the base directory is. This will search for a piece of HTML on that page for something reading 'zoomifyImagePath=/url/goes/here'. The normal method of using Dezoomify is: 'python dezoomify.py C:\file.jpg' Problems The base directory cannot be determined from the display page
