The Client / Compress Image option - what does it do and where does it put the file?
I'm guessing that it makes a jpeg 2000 file from a file on your hard drive. It seems to do something, a dialog pops up, then some time passes as if something was happening, although for all know the code may just be taking a cigarette break.

J2C Files
05-10-2007 17:12
Still trying to find out how to do more than open these files, since it would be nice to edit my own snapshots on my computer - but, the files get saved to wherever you allocated on your hard drive for your previous snapshots to be saved. The difference is that, instead of being called .bmp, they are now called .j2c files. They are compressed files that must be opened by a special viewer, and are an especially current system, so obviously a lot of us don't have it. Would have been nice for the Lindens to give us some notice that this is what was going to happen to our downloaded snapshots! And even nicer if they'd given us an idea of where to search for plug-ins to not only open the damn things for viewing, but to enable us to edit our own photos... Do a Google search for jpeg2000 viewer - I found one to use to view them, called ibrowser. If you have Adobe Photoshop version 7 or version CS, you can also get the Adobe Photoshop jpeg 2000 plug in so you can edit your photos. I have yet to install and use that. I've just been told that there is an option under the Client drop down tab that can change the way these files are downloaded, so that they can be sent down in the old ways, rather than these new compressed files. Make sure there is no cross ticking Compress Snapshots to Disk, if you want to return to the way you downloaded previously. I've yet to log in to try it - mine must be ticked. I'm sure it would save a lot of us the time, effort and cost of changing programs on our computers to cater for this so-called SL streamlining, if that works. Don't know about you, but I find these sort of changes, without any information from the Lindens beyond a brief - we are using these files now so our servers don't get overloaded - a hassle.
