Site update

Fullscreen image viewing

Both the page turner and the image browser can now be made fullscreen. To do so click on the arrow pointing diagonally in the bottom toolbar. Also when the page turner or image browser are popped up in another window, they will resize when the window is resized.
Enabling these potentially large image displays may have some performance implications. Please comment below or send email if you experience any problems using these new features.
Bug fixes:
  • Invalid argument complaint from Internet explorer when popping up image viewer.
  • Regression caused image browser not to go to current image when popped up.
  • Regression caused image browser goto box not to work or update on selection.
  • Thumbnail text in the image browser can now be seen more easily.

Site update

Problems fixed:

  • Fixed a longstanding webkit (Google Chrome and Safari) layout problem.
  • Fixed regression with “missing image” image not displaying in page turner.
  • Fixed a number of bugs related to query parsing and expansion. Most notably boolean +- queries were not being parsed correctly and a regression with character name expansion was causing spurious matches.
Features added:
  • When viewing the illustration title table, click on a title to search for it.

Last site update of the year!

There are not many user visible changes, but the rose site has changed a great deal under the hood. The FSI image viewer has been updated to the latest release and our image server is now the new FSI server. The combination of the new image viewer and image server should be faster and more stable. Numerous other changes should make the rest of the site snappier too.

The one content addition is the Chevrier Rose. You may also notice that edge flipping and page dragging have been enabled in the page turner. Try dragging the corner of a page or simply click on the corner to see.

Bug fixes include:

  • Always create a new viewer popup when requested.
  • Race condition removed in the page tracking code.
  • Foliation of printed books fixed in description and viewer.
