For fixes (minor) to the thing after development was done. :-)

Created Issue: Could we use jellyfish to multi-thread the DZ output? [5592]

http://jellyfishdz.codeplex.com/ - it seems liek they have their own code to write stuff out.

Commented Feature: Should we be using PNG's instead of JPEGs? [1501]

I've been using jpeg's up to now. Which is better - png or jpeg as far as the SIT is concerned? Or does it not matter much?

Some background; In the creation of a sparse image with the DZI we deal with three images: input (your JPGs), intermediate when we convert each input image to a non-sparse DZI and then the output DZI which is a sparse composition of the intermediate images.

My advice is to use PNG for the first two.

1. Try to scan or extract your input materials to a PNG format.

2. Convert the input PNGs to DZI’s images with PNG tiles, using the ImageTool (part of the DeepZoomComposer distribution). The correct command line is something like:

ImageTool.exe convert <inputfile> png

3. Add the non-sparse DZI images (from step 2) to the scene graph file and run SIT.

This will ensure that there is no quality degradation from compressing/decompressing lossy JPGs.

For the output image you need to balance the quality of PNG versus the size reduction of the JPG tiles. My suggestion is try them out both and choose the correct format for your needs. You might also want to try with different quality levels when encoding JPG tiles.

According to writeup - compression above 0.9 will not really make a visible difference. So that is what we shoudl run and compare a talk at.

Created Issue: DZ output should be png images [5591]

Make it possible to set - but this should be PNG since for slides and other high constrast stuff PNG usually does better. Should we test?? :-)

jpeg is better for continuous tone images, and png for things that aren't. Slides tend to mostly be single tone... png is lossless... so - we shoudl switch to that, I guess!

Make sure sub-talks are correctly rendered

Deal with talks that have no slides, but have sub-talks. We were making a now-bad assumption! :-)

Created Issue: Sub talks should have their title linked correctly [5577]

Make sure that sub-talks get their title linked properly - with a HS Action Click thing-y...

Fix up a race condition - the process could exit between the time we look it up and the time we issue the kill command. As a result the kill command will error out. Lucky we caught that!

Added the ability to render sub-talks - talks that are "inside" other talks on indico...

Closed Issue: Agenda sub-items should be rendered inside a talk [3584]

http://ilcagenda.linearcollider.org/conferenceOtherViews.py?view=standard&confId=3154 - for example - they should show up inside the talk.

Anything to make that faster, if we restrict the # that are running for example.

When we can't find anything appropriate associated with an agenda item, then grab whatever we can find.
