Dear All:<br>
<br>
I have written a short "how-to-guide" for the installation of your
great scripts under Windows 32 - you will find it in the Openslide
Wiki.<br>
<br>
However, I would need your support for the technical part. I have
the following issues:<br>
<br>
1. I succeeded in running the deepzoom_tile.py on Windows32bit as
mentioned (see wiki), so that is done. <br>
<br>
2. However, I tried to do the same on a Windows 64 Bit. I installed
Python 2.6 for Win64, I downloaded the openslide binaries for 64 bit
and put them into system32 as well as the WOW64 folder directly.
But, after doing everything and running the deepzoom_tile.py, the
script is running but is constantly producing errors. I enclose a
screenshot of my DOS-window. Maybe you see, what the error could be.<br>
<br>
3. Also, I saw that when I e. g. do: python deepzoom_tile.py
C:\testfolder\test.svs C:\testfolder\test, that the "test_files" is
created in the script-directory and not under C:\testfolder. That is
on both, 32/64 Bit Windows of course.<br>
<br>
4. Now I would like to get the deepzoom_server.py to run on a
Windows server. However, this seems to be somewhat more tricky. The
script tells me that it needs the module flask. I looked it up on
the flask-website and this seems to be somewhat more complicated to
install the entire thing. To understand more about the concept of
your script: as I have seen from the source, it runs on port 5000. <br>
a) Is one tile requested from the script at a time? And in what
format? Is the -c option for that? <br>
b) A seadragon-client would then request tiles from the server and
e. g. an apache modrewrite is redirecting to the python script? <br>
c) Isn't the python script to slow to serve tiles? E. g. on my
regular 4-quad-core machine with 8 GB of RAM the static tiler does
less than 1000 tiles per minute --> appr. 2,5 hours per 80,000
tiles total for an image of appr. 60,000 x 60,000. If 10 users would
surf on my server, then there would be problems for the script to
serve them quickly?! <br>
<br>
5. Do you know, what the "overlap" in the deepzoom format is for? On
the web, nobody really seems to know, why an overlap should produce
any better results for the view than to have overlap=0. -<br>
<br>
6. What are the options jobs, output and viewer for in your
deepzoom_tile.py? If viewer is default "true", there is no directory
being exported there (but I did not use the option). What are the
parameters that you can send? I. E.: --jobs=2 (?), --viewer=true /
false?, --output=?<br>
<br>
Lastly, this is the short first description for your Wiki plus the
DOS-window with the errors.:<br>
<br>
Thanks a lot!<br>
<br>
