Issues using large CCGHQ images with Forge

Postby Morlock » 02 Jun 2014, 01:19

Hi, I'm having trouble getting Forge to use the large images from the CCGHQ torrent. The strange thing is that I had them working fine (via folder import), but then I extracted a new copy of 1.5.17 and dropped it on top of the existing install because of other issues I was having, and that broke the install's ability to show the large images. The strange part is that I'm pretty sure it isn't a forge.profile.properties issue. All the directories are set up like I had them before:

userDir=local/user
cacheDir=local/cache
cardPicsDir=local/Pics

Complicating the situation is that I have the world's slowest connection at home (56K, actual download speeds = 5k), so I have to download anything larger than 5mb or so from a friend's house, 10 minutes away. So, I create my "portable" install of Forge, then I tell it to DL the LQ images, then I bring it home and try to get my CCGHQ images working with it. And like I said, this worked fine once, but now it doesn't want to take, not even with a fresh copy installed elsewhere from my backup.

P.S., when I set up the latest beta of Forge and set up my properties file like above, Forge won't start. It hangs on the startup screen. I left it there overnight and it still hadn't started.

Edit: I just tried to import my large images again. They all wind up in the right place, but Forge isn't using them.

I have "Use Large Card Viewers" checked, and "Scale Image Larger" un-checked.

Edit 2: I renamed one of the set folders in local/pics and discovered that Forge was using the images from that directory (they showed up as blanks when I fired up Forge), so I suppose I can rename all my "*.xlhq.jpg" images to "*.full.jpg" and get them working that way, but I'd rather do it the easy way, not least because I'd rather not have to do it all over again in the event of data loss.

Edit 3: I renamed the files and they show up fine in Forge. The deletion and renaming process actually went much better than I expected. Both apps I used (File Locator Pro and File Renamer Deluxe) both did their jobs quickly and neither crashed on the 20 thousand or so images.
