Software Version
You are currently running the following software versions:1 Overview
The interface consists of 3 main sections: tree view (1), working area (2) and file view (3).The dimension of these sections can be changed by dragging the splitter bars between the sections.
2 Tree View
The tree view contains tabs for browsing the folder structure and for searching.At the top, the root directory name (server name) is visible.
The root directory contains all available Source Connectors (profiles) on this specific FSI Server, listed below the root directory.
The following source connector types are possible within the root directory:
- Static: (for static files only, e.g. style graphics you want to use on your website)
- Storage: (images will be imported to the storage for high performance Single Source Imaging)
- Multi Resolution: (profile contains multi resolution TIFF files only)
It is also possible to determine different permissions for each folder (Read, Write, List, Tasks), the set permissions for the currently selected folder can be viewed via More information... at the bottom of the tree view.
It is also possible for the administrator to define customized comments (e.g. what kind of files are recommended to put into a certain folder) for each source connector type, which will show up at the bottom of the tree view. These comments can be defined via a XML file.
3 File View
In the file view the directories and files of the selected folder are visible.In the bar at the top several actions for managing files and directories are selectable via icons:
Create Folder, Rename, Copy, Cut, Paste, Delete
The sorting drop down menu allows you to sort items by certain criteria . With the arrow button beneath, the order of the chosen sorting feature can be changed.On the right of the sorting menu you can change the appearance of folders and items within the file view. In order to change the sizing of thumbnails, either click on the smaller/larger thumbnail button to change the view or slide the thumbnail controller in the desired direction.
The buttons on the left let you choose between
- Page View: Items will be displayed as double Pages, with the first as cover and the last as back (single) page (helpful for displaying catalogues)
- Thumbnail View: Each picture will be shown as a thumbnail
- List View: items will be show in a list featuring File Name, Width x Height, File Size, Last Modified Date and Status and can be sorted by those features by clicking on the name of the feature
By using the right mouse-button within the file view area, more actions can be accessed via the context menu, such as re-importing selected items, adding files to a download archive, downloading the selected item, creating a favorite, etc. Drag & Drop is possible within the file view and the tree view. Files or folders can be dragged from the operating system's file browser to the file or tree view in order to upload them to the server.) In addition you can copy or move items by dragging them to the target folder in the tree or file view.
By clicking on a specific file in the file view, the upper working area will be activated.
3.1 File and Folder Operations
Creating a new directory The root of the tree view contains different source connectors. In order to create a folder within one of these source connectors, either- Right click on the profile name and choose "Create new folder"
- Right Click in the directory overview on the lower right, choose "Create new folder"
- Click on the folder button in the directory overview and the "Create Folder" window pops up
4 Working Area
Within the Working Area, different tasks and information concerning the selected items are displayed. Depending on the file format, you can choose between the following tabs:View, Metadata, Color, Publish to Web, Upload, Download, and Help.
The window button4.1 View Tab
On this tab, you can see the selected image using FSI Viewer, in which you can use all standard features including a full screen option.
4.2 Metadata Tab
The metadata of the image will be shown and is divided into three sections: General, IPTC, and EXIF data.
All metadata fields - except for those in the "General" group - can be edited, deleted or added. In order to change existing data, click on the corresponding field value and type in the desired value. By clicking the "Add fields" button in the Options menu at the bottom of the page you can add IPTC or EXIF data fields.
You are able to apply the tasks in the options menu at the bottom to all editable meta data (which are characterized by the check boxes in front of the Data name).
You can choose to check or uncheck all editable meta data, to empty the values which are currently displayed in the data fields, re-import meta data from the source file or to delete all selected fields. The changes will be saved automatically.
By holding Shift while selecting check boxes, you are able to select multiple check boxes at once.
If you select multiple images or files at once, you can apply changed field values to all by selecting the "Apply to all selected files" task in the options menu.
4.3 Color Tab
This tab provides information on the dye distribution, color histograms, and the ICC Profile if applicable.
- Dye Distribution: Both pie chart and histogram show the distribution of each color in the image in percentage.
- Histograms: Here the RGB, Red, Green, Blue and Saturation histograms are provided.
- ICC Profile: The ICC profile is a color reference profile, which describes the characteristics of the device it correspondents to. They are used to enable the best possible color rendering and to provide color consistency independent of the device used. In this tab you can see the media points (the color space which is used for the picture) as well as the profile data such as Description, CMM (color management module), manufacturer, creator and the creation date. You also have the possibility to download the profile in order to use it in your further workflow.
4.4 Publish to Web Tab
While having an image or folder selected, you can see all possible publishing ways for the specific item by visting the Publish To Web tab.
The Publish interface is divided in five sections: Preset/Parameter List, Source Code, Scripts, Preview and Context Help. You can change the size of each section by dragging the handels of the section bars to the desired size.
- Preset/Parameter List: You can choose between various presets (Static Image, Responsive Image, Zoom & Pan, 360° Spins, Catalogues, etc.) within this tab. After choosing a preset the list of available parameters for the publishing option will appear
- Source Code: In this area you can see the source code for your selected publishing option which you can edit and copy to publish the images.
- Required Scripts: In case you have selected a publishing option which requires a viewer (e.g. Responsive Image or Zoom & Pan), the required scripts which need to be included for loading the viewers are listed here.
- Preview: In this section you see a live preview of the changes applied to the source code. The preview also changes depending on which preset you choose. This makes it easy to immediately see how your images or viewer will look like when it is implemented.
- Context Help: This section dynamically shows you a description of the selected preset or parameter.
Image, staticSimple Image: Publishes the image with a simple <img< tag. Requires a single high resolution image. You can set the output dimensions and format (JPEG, PNG or GIF) as well as add various effects to the static image. Simple Image with srcSet: Publishes the image with a simple <img< tag and srcSets. The srcset attribute contains a comma-separated list of multiple image URLs. The browser decides which image size is best for the user at the time of the page visit. This avoids multiple resource loads and performance problems in constrained bandwidth environments.
When a user visits a website, all images on the current page are loaded in the most appropriate size for the device used. Requires a single high resolution image. Automatically adds srcSets in different variations to the img tag. You can set the output dimensions and format (JPEG, PNG or GIF) as well as add various effects to the static image. Padded Image: Publishes the image with a simple <img< tag and a pad effect. Therefore, the resulting image dimension will always match the requested size. Requires a single high resolution image. You can set the output dimensions and format (JPEG, PNG or GIF) as well as add various effects to the static image. Image, responsiveThe options below require a single high resolution image and publish the image with FSI QuickZoom or FSI TouchZoom. Please keep in mind to also copy the required script section (or use the option to copy the source code as a complete HTML 5 document).

4.4.1 How To Publish
After selecting a publishing option, you can set the desired dimensions, add parameters to design the viewer or image as desired and afterwards copy the source code displayed.4.4.1.1 Source Code
The Source Code section enables you to control the look of your image or viewer by setting the dimensions and format, as well as adding effects or crop options to it.
Source Code Toolbar Descriptions
The context menu accessible with the button in the upper right also gives you access to the source code menu bar and additionally enables you to open the preview in another window.
After setting everything, if you are content with the look of the image or viewer (which you can see in the preview section), you can copy the source code by using the corresponding buttons in the menu or simply select the content of the code editor and copy it into your page. For publishing viewers and responsive images, it is crucial to embed the required scripts to your web page as well. The scripts can be seen in the Required Scripts Section:
You can do so by copying the script manually or use the corresponding button in the source code menu bar or context menu:
4.4.1.2 Parameters
Parameter SectionAdditionally, you can also set various parameters for publishing an image or a viewer. After choosing a preset, the parameter section opens up on the right. You can add parameters to the source code section by double-clicking on the corresponding parameter. The context help shows a short description of the parameters. For more in-depth information, please consult the FSI Viewer Online Manual.. |
|
4.4.2 Effects Tab
By clicking on the effect button, the effect window opens up. Double-click on the desired effect or drag it to the left in order to select it. You can adjust the options of the effect or delete it in the right column below the preview image. If more than one effect is applied, it is also possible to change the processing order of the effects by dragging the effect to the achieve the desired sequence. By clicking "OK" the effects will be applied to the image or viewer and are visible in the source code.
4.4.3 Hyperlink Editor Tab
This tab provides access to the JS hyperlink editor for FSI Pages. The link editor enables you to conveniently add hyperlinks and icons to your online catalog.
The editor recognizes existing hyperlinks and enables you to change them as well, i.e. links created with the old Flash Hyperlink Editor are shown in the new editor and can also be changed, but they will be saved in a different format. As a result, links created or changed with the new editor are not compatible with the old FSI Pages Flash versions, they only work with the new FSI Pages JavaScript versions.
This section will help you to get started with the editor.
|
1. General
The link editor consists of different sections: On the left side you will see the single pages of your catalog, the right side is sectioned into 4 sections:The link list shows all links which are embedded in the current site of your catalog. You can move the links to decide which one should be in the foreground by dragging them on the desired position in the list. This is helpful if shapes are overlapping, the position decides which link is active in the overlapping section on mouse over. The link at bottom of the list is in the foreground.
Link Data shows the info for the selected link.
The tool bar allows you to scroll through the catalog and add and change links.
New Shapes contains a preselection of shapes and icons which can be added to the site. It's also possible to add your own shapes to this section, for more information please see Adding SVG for own Shapes/Icons.
The editor differentiates between Links and Icons.
You can choose between:
- Link, auto colored: transparent filling, change color & ant line on mouse over or while being pressed
- Link, original color: opaque filling, do not change color on mouse over
- Icon: displayed with the original color, can have tooltips, but they can not be clicked (i.e. they are no hyperlinks)
Furthermore, you are able to change a Link in general or just a Link Shape. A link can consist of one or multiple link shapes. If a link has only one shape assigned, then link equals link shape - i.e. the select/transform link and select/transform link shape action do the same.

/_service_files/Link Editor Shapes/folder of your FSI Server Web Interface.
In order to add custom shapes, you need to group your icon and add one or more classes to the group in your SVG file:
- class="fsi-pages-link-shape" - displays the shape with the original color setting
- class="fsi-pages-link-shape fsi-pages-link-auto-color" - displays the shape with the auto color setting
- class="fsi-pages-link-shape fsi-pages-link-icon" - displays the shape with the icon setting
4.4.4 Hotspot Editor
When publishing a "Zoom & Pan" viewer (for single images) or the "360° Spins" viewer (for 360° spins), you can access the editor by clicking on the "Edit hotspots" icon in the publishing menu bar:
Or with the corresponding option in the context menu accessible in the "Your Source Code" section:
The editor will open in a new window.
HotSpot Tab
Overview
The HotSpot Tab consists of the following sections:
- Viewer
- HotSpot Tab/ Scenery Tab
- HotSpot Data
- Link URL and Target
- HotSpot Text
- Toolbar
- HotSpot Shapes
HotSpot List
This sections in the Hotspot Tab shows an overview of the added hotspots.HotSpot Data
In this section you can change the look of the hotspots added by drag and drop. You can define the position of the hotspot as well as the position of the marker for the text. You can change the scale of the icon and - in case you want to restrict the visibility to a certain zoom scale - define the zoom visibility. You can also add different CSS classes in order to style the hotspots in normal, hover and active mode.Toolbar
The toolbar contains the following functions:
- Save - saves all changes in a XML configuration
- Load Configuration - loads a XML configuration file
- Reset - returns to initial view
- Zoom Out - decreases magnification
- Zoom In - increases magnification
- Zoom Selection - enables you to draw a rectangular shape as zoom section
- Drag Image - when activated, you can drag the zoomed image in any direction in order to pan
- Select HotSpot(s) - when activated, the hotspot you click on is automatically selected
- Move - enables you to move the hotspot in a certain direction (single image: move hotspot in x,y direction - y,z and x,y is only available for 360°)
- Delete - deletes the hotspot selected
- Cut - cuts current selection
- Copy - copies current selection
- Paste - pastes copied hotspot
- Undo - undos last change
- Redo - redos last change
- FullScreen - opens editor in fullscreen mode
Adding hotspots to a single image
Add a HotSpot
In order to add a hotspot, simply drag a shape for the HotSpot shapes section to the viewer on the left at the desired position.Add Text and URL to a HotSpot
In the section "Link URL and Target" you can define the URL the hotspot leads to on click as well as the link target (_blank or _self). In the "Text" section you can add text that will be displayed with a marker next to the hotspot. You can use HTML text formatting to style the text as desired.Style a HotSpot
You can globally style the hotspots either by
- using the parameters hotspotDotColor1, hotspotDotColor2, hotspotLineColor1,hotspotLineColor2 (see manual) in the tag
- or set CSS classes for the hotspots in the HotSpot Data tab of the editor
Save Configuration
When you are finished setting all hotspots as desired, you can save your changes in a XML configuration file by pressing the "Save" button. Closing the window will lead you to the publishing tab again with the configuration file added to the tag.Adding hotspots to a 360° spin
In contrast to adding a hotspot to a single image, for a object spin you first need to define the bounding box of the object. This can be done within the Scenery Tab which automatically opens up when you click on the Editor while publishing a spin.The Scenery Tab
The editor opens with the "Scenery" tab, where you can set the parameters used to define the 3D object used for adding the hotspots correctly.Vital parameters: Camera For creating hotspots, it is important to know the positions of the camera when shooting the 360° spin. This makes it easier to add the hotspots in a more precise way.
The digitalCropFactor value depends on the size of the optical sensor chip of the camera. For full frame cameras the value is "1.0". Common values are between 1.5 to 1.6. The crop factor is the same factor that affects the focal length of your camera’s objective. E.g. the focal length of an objective with a full frame camera is 50mm. With a camera that has a crop factor of 1.5 the effective focal length would be 1.5 x 50mm = 75mm.
focalLength defines the focal length of the camera objective in mm.
Camera postion (parameter postion) x,y,z and CameraTarget (parameter targetPosition) x,y,z define the position of the camera and the object in mm (see illustration).
Virtual Cube parameter Using the camera parameters, the viewer calculates the position of the hot spots. You can also optionally add virtual space coordinates. The "cube" is the bounding box of the spin object in millimeters (see illustration below). For this, you need to know the measurements of the object of the spin.
Camera Arm (two axis spin only) If you do rotate your object around the x-axis as well, additional parameters apply which can be found in the FSI Viewer JS online manual.
Image Sequence If you are using more than one axis, SceneSets might come handy: they define the order of scenes to be displayed. In the viewer scenes can be selected by moving the mouse horizontally and scene sets can be selected by moving the mouse vertically. Individual sets have to be separated with ";" (semicolon). Scenes within the sets are separated with "," (comma) and specify the 1-based index of the image from left to right, top to bottom up to the total number of scenes. Instead of individual scenes you can also specify scene ranges, e.g. "5-10".
Video In case you want to have a video added for a smoother spin, you can add the corresponding parameters here. Please refer to the manual for an in-depth explanation of the parameters.
Initial View If you want to define a different view at the start of of the viewer, you can set this here. Simply zoom and pan the viewer in the desired direction and click in the initialView button in order to save your selection as the starting point.
Hotspots Tab
After setting up you cube, please go to the "Hotspot" tab in order to add Hotspots. (see description above).4.5 Upload Tab
Depending on the type of the selected source connector, you can upload different types of files. There are several possibilities to upload images into the interface.
- Choose the Upload tab, click the "Choose files" button to add files to upload to the list. The files will be uploaded to the current folder.
- Drag & Drop files to the file view or the tree view
4.6 Download Tab
There are several possibilities to download images from the interface.
- Drag & Drop files or folders from the file view onto the download tab or
- Select items in the file view and choose Add to download archive from the context menu.
You can optionally schedule the download start to a specific time and choose a file name.
Clicking the "OK" button starts the creation process and adds the download to My Downloads folder of the root directory.
4.7 Batch Tab
Within this tab, you can download batch processed images.
- Select items in the thumb view and choose Add the batch process from the context menu - or -
- Drag & Drop files from the file view to the Batch tab
Here you can choose the Configuration name and type of archive (ZIP, tar.gz, tar.bz2).
You can download either unmodified source files or processed images.
When you decide to download processed images, you can choose if you would like to replace or append the file extensions.
You can also save your configurations in case you would like to use them again.
You see a dialog below where you can change the dimensions, add various effects, crop the image and look at the preview of the processed image. Once you finished choosing the operations to apply to the images you can press "OK" to return to the Batch tab.
You can optionally schedule the download start to a specific time and choose a file name.
Clicking the "OK" button starts the creation process and adds the download to My Downloads folder of the root directory.
4.8 Licence Tab
This tab gives you an overview of your licence information and enables you to enter your key either by uploading the corresponding licence file or by typing in the licence data manually.
The Licence Request Data is crucial for updating your licence.
5 Enabling search
FSI Server uses Apache Solr as a database to allow searching in asset metadata. The Solr server is not embedded in FSI Server as the database was in FSI Server versions 1 and 2.If you require searching, for example in FSI Pages, then you will have to provide a Solr instance for FSI Server to use.
If you are using the docker version of FSI Server, you can easily add a Solr container. Please note that this needs to be done BEFORE the FSI Server container is created. As FSI Server and Solr/Lucene are both memory critical applications they should not be deployed under the same JVM other than for testing.
IMPORTANT:
For production environments it is highly recommended to deploy the Solr package in an own Tomcat/JVM instance. In high load environments you should consider installing the Soldata-r instance on separate hardware.
Installation:
1. Download and deploy Solr by copying the downloaded WAR file to the tomcat webapps folder or pull Solr in the Alpine version if using docker.
2. Configure access restrictions to Solr if needed.
- By default access to the Solr server is limited to connections from local ip addresses. If you are installing the package on a different machine, then you will have to disable this limitation
by commmenting out the Valve- configuration in webapps/solr/META-INF/context.xml - The access to the Solr server is not restricted to a specified user, but should be when the above limitation is removed. To enable this security feature, please uncomment the "security contraint" and the "login-config" blocks
in webapps/WEB-INF/web.xml and add an appropriate user to your Tomcat installation, e.g. by adding the following lines to your tomcat-users.xml:
<tomcat-users>
<role rolename="solr_user"/>
<user username="fsi" password="mypassword" roles="solr_user"/>
</tomcat-users>
- Set the "enabled" attribute of the "search" sections to true in the sourcemanager.xml and requestprocessor.xml and set the login credentials according to the previous step if required.
