Looks like the same link is used as with older versions. This creates a problem with caching. My downloader says I already have downloaded this program but I have not.

Would also like to see the version number somewhere on the announcement pages and/or suffixed to the download file.

Selecting the Export option invariably causes it to crash.

Grrrr.

Hi Kevin - I just replied to your forum post as well. Does this happen for any project, or just old projects you have opened?

If you do not have any images, does switching to Export crash? What OS and video card are you running on?

Thanks,

Kirupa

So disappointing!!! This June version still CANNOT handle Seadragon Ajax outtput properly as report in

http://social.expression.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/deepzoomcomposer/thread/d303a12a-9e53-42c1-b83a-b40defe96cfe

on April 28, 2008. Some people reported the same problem earlier.

Am I missing anything? Please advise!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Peter - how large are your photos? What format are your photos in?

I just tried with around 100 wallpapers that are about 1600x1200, and DZC was able to handle them properly when exported to Seadragon Ajax.

My PC does have 4 GB of RAM, but the RAM usage during export never went above 500 MB though, so I am not sure if RAM is the culprit this time around.

Cheers!

Hi Kirupa,

I'll only reply here, to avoid clogging the bandwidth...

I've just established that it only happens with old projects (they were already old at the time of the previous update, although they worked find with that one (I tried it)).

I'm running Vista SP2 with an ATI Radeon X1300.

Since I now know it works OK with new projects I'm not too worried myself, I can just recreate the projects if necessary.

As always, please uninstall all existing versions of Deep Zoom Composer before installing the new version

Kirupa (MS) — Sun, 21 Jun 2009 22:56:59 GMT

Kevin - do you mean that your project was created in a version earlier than our April release?

In either case, would it be possible for you to e-mail me your .dzprj file to kirupac[at]microsoft.com While we may not support older projects, we certainly shouldn't be crashing either =)

Thanks,

Kirupa

Hi Kirupa,

Yes, my project was created in an earlier version than the April release.

It's about 3.5 megs zipped - let me know whether it would be a problem for you receiving an email that size.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kirupa (MS) — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 21:21:38 GMT

Kevin - please send them to kirupac[at]microsoft.com and kirupa[at]kirupa.com. I'm hoping at least one of them is able to handle the file as an attachment =)

Thanks,

Kirupa

Can't open program. Always get an error message.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kirupa (MS) — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 18:56:58 GMT

Betty - what error message are you receiving?

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kevin Daly — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 02:11:26 GMT

Hi again Kirup - I sent the project to both addresses the other day - the Microsoft account blocked it but hopefully the other one got through.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kevin Daly — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 10:25:56 GMT

PS. Apologies for your name getting truncated in my last reply - I think that was a case of not hitting the key hard enough. Oops.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kirupa (MS) — Sun, 28 Jun 2009 12:28:19 GMT

Kevin - I looked at the project and I think I have an idea what may be causing the problem :)

We'll try to have this crash fixed soon.

Thanks!

Quick question on the new Deep Zoom Composer: When exporting to a Silverlight 3 Deep Zoom solution, I used to get the Visual Studio solution, now I only get the Default.xap

I loved it that I was able to change aspects of the Silverlight project, is this feature gone for good? Or have I missed a switch?

Thanks!

Sascha.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kirupa (MS) — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 20:32:28 GMT

Hi Sascha,

We did remove that feature for the new, enhanced player we are using. Currently, we are looking into bringing it back.

Thanks,

Kirupa :)

Hi,

I used to use deep zoom composer to generate Silverlight test pages that I could put on my website but now it appears that the generated output needs to be run through IIS. Is there any way around that? If its not on IIS then the silverlight just never loads!

Other than that I'm getting on really well with the new version!

Thanks!

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

Kirupa (MS) — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:43:48 GMT

Hi Ed!

Because we are loading metadata and various other pieces of information after your XAP loads, you do need some environment capable of processing HTTP requests. Any web server will do - IIS, Apache, etc.

While we could take some steps to allow previewing directly from the file system, that may be something we won't have time for in this release unfortunately.

Glad to hear everything else is working well though.

Cheers!

Kirupa

The previous vesion of DZC had a manual/how to guide. Is there one for this version? It's changed quite a bit.

re: Deep Zoom Composer - June 2009 Preview!

KathR - it will be updated soon :)
