Capitalized "JPG" extension different from lowercase "jpg"? - html

I am working on a personal webpage, a draft version of which I have uploaded to www.kurtpeek.com. One of the bugs I notice, is that one of my jpeg images in the "About Me" section, "MIT_IAP_SAR_smallest.JPG", does not show up on the web, but I can see it just fine if I look at it on my computer. (You can download the directory from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1396332/kurtpeek.com.rar ).
The only difference I can see with the other pictures is that this one has a capitalized ".JPG" extension instead of a lowercase ".jpg" one. However, if I try to rename the file to a lowercase extension Windows 7 just capitalizes it again.
Any help on this issue would be much appreciated.
Best regards,
Kurt Peek
P.S. This problem seems similar to this one:
php file upload capitalized filename issue
but as far as I can tell that problem was not resolved.

It is very likely that your server is running under a Linux distribution, whose file system is usually case-sensitive.

How to open a heavy html file

I have recently downloaded my facebook archive, which is a very old account I started in 2009.
There is some conversations I would like to read, the main problem is that messages.html inside the zip weights 98 mo.
Unfortunately,neither mozilla or google chrome can open those 21109 lines of codes in a webview without crashing.
I could open the document with Notepad++, but it's just like searching for a needle in a haystack.
Could you help me please ?
Further to the LINUX comments, we can only assume you are trying to look (or search) inside the html file. You can use any good, text editor like: TextPad, EditPad, etc. You can also download "Unxutils" (not it is not mis-spelled) and use the Windows ports of grep/sed/awk/head/tail/cut etc. There maybe comments or answers posted to use Cygwin which work fine, but require the use of DLL libraries and such. The UnxUtils are stand-alone exe files are work right out of the box with no installation required.
If you are interested in getting some readable files for each conversation you can use the first part of this tutorial which generates csv files which are easily searchable.

Restore js file with chrome cache

I accidentally deleted a HTML file with dreamweaver. I really would like to get this file back, my backup was not ok. So I would like to retrieve the file using the cache of my browser Chrome. I Googled and found this: LINK But it doesnt work for me, when I download the file and look at it in Notepad all I see is strange characters.
What else can I try to get my file back with Chrome cache?
NirSoft's ChromeCacheView worked perfectly for me.
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chrome_cache_view.html
Note that the option to restore the actual files is not that obvious. F4 does it.
It would not be easily extractable from it's hexadecimal representation.
I have recently created a script for extracting files from Chrome and Firefox cache. Check it out at this gist.
See the usage guide in this post.
What you download on this site is a gzip file, if you open that in notepad you will get much the same as on the chrome://cache site. You need to extract it with 7zip or a similar tool first.

Chrome Extension - Invalid Package. Details:Can't unzip the extension

I worked on a chrome extension and uploaded it to chrome webstore and everything went well, I installed it on my Mac and on my Ubuntu machines in chrome it worked fine and installed. But when I try it on Windows machines, after download it popups a error message saying "Invalid Package, Can't unzip the extension".
Can any one tell me why or what might be the cause for this OS specific issue. Does it have anything to do with the permission or anything with respective folder name or content? The folder name or the extension name don't have any special characters and the previous version was fine.
Thanks in advance.
This is because there a file inside the package with a Windows invalid character in name or there a corrupted file. In my case I've tried to download the CouponsHelper extension and this error was displayed too.
I downloaded the CRX file manually and opened it with 7Zip. In the folder had a file named Icon. When I try to extract using 7Zip an error occurs too.
Note on the screenshot that there an invalid char in Icon file and that it is zero sized (possibly corrupted).
Another cause of this problem (Error: could not unzip extension) might be that you include the root directory in your zip.
You should zip all files in the same level of manifest.json.
Example
-yourappfolder
|_manifest.js
|_popup.html
In this case you should zip only manifest.js and popup.html, instead of zip the entire directory yourappfolder.
In other words, in your zip file you should NOT see the yourappfolder directory.
So the trick it to compress all the files within the folder not the folder itself.
NOTE: If it's saved in Google Drive (local syncing) this well mess it up too. Drive attaches little icons to folders that show up as unknown.
So remake the folder outside of Google Drive.
That's what was messing mine up after the "only compress inside of folder" fix.
I had the same problem but the reason was different.
I found that there is an image which has a name that is too long. When I replaced the name with a shorter one and built new package, it installed successfully.
I hope this helps anyone may facing the same problem.
A quick Google only turned up one possibly useful result but I wasn't sure if it would help.
Is that error message exactly what you see (i.e. word for word)? I couldn't find it in the code.
I may be wrong but I think this could be the code responsible for the error. Unfortunately, the zip::Unzip call can potentially fail for a number of reasons and only provides more details in the logs. I'm guessing such logs output to this location (Windows XP);
%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Google\Chrome\Application\debug.log
None of this information may be useful to you but I thought I'd show you my investigation :)
Have you tried to install the extension again and do you have administration rights (not sure if this would have an affect here)?
I had the same problem but it was rejecting it because either the file was too big or the paths were too long (Windows...), which was because I accidentally included my entire node_modules directory in the .crx file.
It could be caused by a lot of things.
For me, the problem was having .xcf (Gimp) files inside the package.
The extension loaded fine when unzipped manually but showed the "couldn't unzip" error in when loaded from the Chrome Webstore.
I had problems with zipping with MacOS. There was a bunch of hidden files in the zip.
Using Windows solved it but probably taking not the default zipper in MacOS should do the same.
I had a similar problem.
My solution was:
unzip the CRX to a directory...lets say called freddy123
Rename "_manifest" to "manifest"..i.e remove the underscore.
Chrome->settings->More Tools->Extensions (Check Develop Mode Check box)
Load Unpacked extension (select freddy123 directory)
This worked for me.

Prevent PHPStorm IDE From Corrupting Images

Ever since I switched from Eclipse PDT to PHPStorm, I've been having problems on my site where images won't display correctly, especially the little icons in TinyMCE. My favicon also seems to be corrupted.
I'm sure the problem is that PHPStorm is doing a newline character substitution and not respecting my image files as Binary files. When I compare an image from the server with what I have stores locally, I see that it's doing newline substitution.
Any thoughts on how to solve this?
Here's the example of what one should do in Eclipse. I think I'm looking for something similar in PHPStorm.
Settings
IDE Settings
File Types
Upper half of the dialog select Image Files. Below click on Add and type *.ico, or whetever the file extension of your files is.
Should do it
I finally got it to work!
Just before checking your project out, you need to check "change keyword substitution to" and choose "binary".

chm viewer unable to show contents

I have a chm file that I can open at home. I use windows XP at home and at work. However, when I open the file at work it doesn't show the contents of the file. It properly shows the TOC for the file though. Any ideas pls?
Try to right-click on your chm file and select properties. You will see an "Unblock" button. Click on it, it should solve your problem.
Other than what Nicolas suggested, you may not be able to see contents of a CHM that you open over a UNC path. If that is the case copy the file to a local drive.
just go to power shell and run it as administrator,
cd your folder
and use the following command
Unblock-File '.\filename.chm'
On Windows 7 copying the file locally and unchecking the file opening warning message worked.
I had the same situation, on a Windows 10 (VMware) system. I had to move the file to a local drive as suggested by another poster AND THEN uncheck the file opening warning message. Opening the file gave a "Open File - Security Warning" message, with a checkbox at the bottom "Always ask before opening this file". Until I unchecked that box, only the TOC showed. After unchecking, the contents showed properly. HTH someone else!
Open command prompt and run as administrator.
Go to file location, input the file name and press enter.
It should open the file and view contents in chm viewer.

It appears a lot of people have this problem but were unable to track down a solution. There are apparently different levels of authentication. Most articles I read tell you to set the MaxAllowedZone to '1' which means that local machine zone and intranet zone are allowed but '4' allows access for 'all' zones.
For more info, read this article:

This is how my registry looks (I wasn't sure it would work with the wild cards but it seems to work for me):
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"MaxAllowedZone"=dword:00000004
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\HTMLHelp\1.x\ItssRestrictions]
"UrlAllowList"="\\\\<network_path_root>;\\\\<network_path_root>\*;\\ies-inc.local;http://www.*;http://*;https://www.*;https://*;"
As an additional note, weirdly the "UrlAllowList" key was required to make this work on another PC but not my test one. It's probably not required at all but when I added it, it fixed the problem. The user may have not closed the original file or something like that. So just a consideration. I suggest try the least and test it, then add if needed. Once you confirm, you can deploy if needed. If the 'Unblock' method does not work, or you do not see the option, this should. Good Luck!
P.S. Another method that worked was mapping the path to the network locally by using mklink /d (symbolic linking in Windows 7 or newer) but mapping a network drive letter (Z: for testing) did not work. Just food for thought and I did not have to 'Unblock' any files. Also the accepted 'Solution' did not resolve the issue for me.
Your CHM File Has the "#" Hash Character in the Filename or in the Directory Name. Please remove "#" and you will be able to see the content. If still you are not able to see then please visit following link: https://www.helpsmith.com/chm-cannot-be-displayed.php
Windows block *.chm files came from another computer fore security reason. Click right mouse button on file and set unblock checkbox see.
If someone need, there is a web page: http://topdf.com/ where is possible convert a chm in to pdf. I tested it with a chm of ~18MB and 615 pages. I was able to got a pdf with a hyperlinked contents table.
I was experiencing the same problem.
I read that the .chm file only worked on NTFS.
My file was on a cloud network drive which is not NTFS, so I copied it locally and the problem was gone.
Use SumatraPDF. It opens .chm files.
I had same problem and zipped the file then open it from inside the zip program.(I use 7-zip)
