Hi, I'm getting this "Error(SPMHDB-238): The design is corrupted. It may have been copied from a different architecture using ASCII mode; copy using binary mode," when opening a .brd file for the adafruit FT232H. Adafruit directs you to download the PCB files which are on github. I'm surprised it can't read the .brd file and am looking for suggestions on how to solve this. I honestly don't know what "copy using binary code" mean. On github, you can copy the raw contents. I've put in on a txt file but not sure what I can do with this. Thank you!

According to the Adafruit site: "PCB files for the Adafruit FT232H Breakout. The format is EagleCAD schematic and board layout" so you would need to use the Eagle Translator in PCB Editor to be able to open the data in PCB Editor - that does assume that the source files are in a format that the Eagle translator can handle.

Hi, I'm using the free cadence viewer FYI. But I opened the OrCAD Capture application and I have the option to import eagle translator schematic. It ask for a .sch file, I have and selected this but the issue is it couldn't execute. Error was "couldn't execute "C:\Cadence\PCBViewers_2019\tools\bin\EagleImport\Eagle2Cp.exe": no such file or directory." Is there a limitation to free viewer? I'm digging in and can't figure out why the "Eagle Import" or "Eagle2Cp.exe" isn't in my files/directory. I have the pdfs of these to explain how to do what I did but it doesn't help trouble shoot for my error.

Questions seeking product, service, or learning material recommendations are off-topic because they become outdated quickly and attract opinion-based answers. Instead, describe your situation and the specific problem you're trying to solve. Share your research. Here are a few suggestions on how to properly ask this type of question.

The image format is an ascii text, with numbers separated by spaces (black & white image). Per number per pixel. Is there any way to view this image by some application? I know I can write codes to view it, but I'm just wondering is there any existing software doing this.

Here, P2 defines the type of image (Portable greymap in ASCII), the next line defines the width and height and the third line defines the maximum grey level. The remaining lines are the actual image data.

So I am a developer and often I connect to Teamviewer for working with Java/C++, etc assignments. I have it set up so I'm using a Bluetooth keyboard connected to iPad . The issue is some characters like quotation marks (") are not typed in the right form.

Same problem here using iPad Pro M2 with Magic Keyboard, when using TeamViewer to connect to a Windows Machine for coding/scripting, curly quotation marks produces a terrible writing experience as have to replace them constantly.

Fast STL Viewer is a high-performance offline 3D viewer for binary and ASCII STL files on Android devices. Includes convenient view orientations and rendering modes (shaded, wireframe, combined, and points). Allows opening multiple STL files on the same scene. Associates with STL files which could be opened directly from Gmail, Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive.

The Content Viewer lives in the lower right-hand side of the Autopsy main screen and shows pictures, video, hex, text, extracted strings, metadata, etc. The Content Viewer is populated when you select an entry in the Result Viewer.

The Content Viewer is context-aware, meaning different tabs will be enabled depending on the type of content selected and which ingest modules have been run. It will default to what it considers the "most specific" tab. For example, selecting a JPG will cause the Content Viewer to automatically select the "Application" tab and will display the image there. If you instead would like the Content Viewer to stay on the previously selected tab when you change to a different content object, go to the View Options panel through Tools->Options->Application Tab and select the "Stay on the same file viewer" option.

When a result item is selected in the Result Viewer (as opposed to a file), most of the tabs will correspond to the file associated with the result and not the result itself. For example, when selecting a keyword hit, the "Hex", "Strings", and "File Metadata" tabs will show data from the file where the keyword was found. The descriptions below will generally assume a file has been selected, but most also apply when we have a file associated with a selected result.

The Hex tab is nearly always available and shows you the raw and exact contents of a file. In this tab, the data of the file is represented as hexadecimal values grouped in 2 groups of 8 bytes, followed by one group of 16 ASCII characters which are derived from each pair of hex values (each byte). Non-printable ASCII characters and characters that would take more than one character space are typically represented by a dot (".") in the following ASCII field.

If desired, you can open the file in an external hex editor. This is configured through the External Viewers tab on the options panel. HxD has been verified to work with Autopsy, but alternate hex editors may also be compatible.

Note that this process saves the file to disk before launching the hex editor. A progress indicator will be displayed in the lower right corner of the application. If you wish to cancel the file export, click the 'X' to the right of the progress bar.

The Indexed Text tab shows the text that has been indexed by the Keyword Search Module. You can switch the "Text Source" field to "Result Text" to see the text that has been indexed for the results associated with a file.

The Results tab is active when selecting items with associated results such as keyword hits, call logs, and messages. The exact fields displayed depend on the type of result. The two images below show the Results tab for a call log and a web bookmark.

The Context tab shows information on where a file came from and allows you to navigate to the original result. For example, it can show the the URL for downloaded files and the email message a file was attached to. In the image below you can see the context for an image that was sent as an email attachment.

The Annotations tab shows information added by an analyst about a file or result. It displays any tags and comments associated with the file or result, and if the Central Repository is enabled it will also display any comments saved to the Central Repository.

This Bitbucket Server addon will bring AsciiDoc visualisation directly into the repository view. Once the plugin is enabled, you will automatically see a rendition of any file with extensions asciidoc, adoc or asc.

The Google Chrome browser can render AsciiDoc files. Just open an AsciiDoc file from Google Chrome using the menu item File -> Open File or the keyboard shortcut Cmd-O, and you should see the "live" file.

Marked 2 simply watches and automatically previews a text document which you edit in any other text editor. Getting it to work with asciidoc requires a few extra steps, and the App Store version gets in the way.

GitBook Editor should be the most satisfactory. I has gone through a few disruptive version changes, but is mostly working again. My main problems with it are that there are no line numbers, which makes editing long documents a bit of a pain, and you have no control over the styling.

I found a nice overview of genome viewers by Jeremy Leipizig, but this is a flat list without preference - so mostly useful for discovery, not to find a good enough tool that's most used, though one can sort by Github stars and citations which is a very neat feature: -genome-visualization/?stars=-1&tag=

Thanks. This is always opinion based but I just don't want to miss the obvious one. I find IGV's UX could be better: no sideways scrolling, not working well with mac trackpad so maybe there's something more modern out there, but probably not in this case.

The all around terrific terminal emulator kitty has an icat command to display images (does not work within tmux). Kitty also enables image previews within ranger (a terminal file manager), which is the method I currently use the most often (works within tmux).

While the main purpose of w3m is to provide in-console web browsing, it can also be used to view images in terminal. The relevant packages to install are w3m and w3m-img (on Ubuntu at least). You then need to disable the external image viewer wither by passing -o ext_image_viewer=0 or by going into the options menu ('o') inside w3m and disable external image viewing.

Now, typing w3m will display the image in terminal. w3m will use the entire terminal window, so you cannot see your previous commands until quitting w3m (think less, not cat). Note that if the image is to big to fit the terminal window, it will still be opened externally (in imagemagick for me). Also note that even though I read multiple places that w3m inline images would not work for gnome-terminal, it is working fine for me. It is a little annoying that you have to type q twice to close first the image and then w3m.

Install libsixel-bin and any compatible terminal (examples mentioned under 'Requirements' of this readme, for example mlterm or xterm compiled with the right flags and you can view images with the img2sixel command. Both these packages are available in the Ubuntu repos.

Then there is FIM which is an improved version of fbi. The homepage states that it can display images not only with the framebuffer, but also with X. However, it won't install for me. Edit I got it running by downloading the 0.5 trunk version, running ./configure --disable-exif and then temporarily removing anaconda (python distribution) from my path since it caused a conflict with libpng before running make and sudo checkinstall (you need to write in a version number manually with checkinstall, but it makes it easier to remove than make install). However, images are still displayed in a separate window, although like with fbi you do not need to be running X which is kind of cool.
