Ewps, my mind was elsewhere, it has been all day =)
Oh, real-world Euphoria application story:
I work in video production, and currently we're making a video on head lice
(hey, I'm making more money than I know what to do with, so don't criticize =)
for the provincial government public health unit. Anyways, we use Adobe
Premiere and Video Action NT as our main non-linear editing software. The
system itself a a P300 with a 28gb scsi drive, that's used to store the video.
The way the Perception card and software handles files is odd, though. It
stores each frame of animation as an image. The problem: It stores about 12
copies of the same image as different a format. Handy at times, waste of hd
space at others. Anyways, I wrote a program that deleted all the extra images
on the drive that weren't needed.
I then extended the program and adapted it to delete all the *.pvd (the files
that basically link the images/frames on the drive together to make a video
clip) that weren't in use by any editing software. Quick and handy, instead of
sloughing through the drive looking for fiels that aren't needed.
Turns out DPS, the producer of the harddrive and perception card, has a program
that does the exact same thing, and a lot faster as well =)
sorry if the above is kinda jumbled and hard to understand, that's what my
thoughts are like right now =)
