How can I convert images on a UNIX or LINUX machine?
The Zoomify Converter is currently available for Windows and
Macintosh platforms, however, scripted alternatives are available for
UNIX/LINUX environments. Access information is provided below. These
alternatives have been developed by Zoomify customers and partners
and, as script-based implementations, are editable and portable to
other scripting languages. They are, however, slower than the
compiled offerings for Windows and Macintosh. Zoomify is pursuing the
creation of a UNIX/LINUX converter through partners and we hope to
have more to announce soon. Please watch our home page for
information on this topic.
For a Python/PIL/Zope-based conversion solution please see
SourceForge.net and search on 'ZoomifyImage'. For a PERL-based
conversion alternative you may download the PERL-Slice.zip file from
the Zoomify download server. (Note: the PERL-based solution does not
support incremental source image data loading so it is only
appropriate for images tens or hundreds of megabytes in size rather
than gigabytes in size).
so it looks, it should be solved
If anybody may test the zoomify on Linux - both conversion and Flash
extension, please do it and send a note.
