How can my server-side script tell when the conversion of an image is complete?
The Zoomify Converter proceeds through an orderly process in creating a Zoomify Image – whether folder-based storage or single-file PFF-based storage is chosen. In the case of folder-based storage, the last step in conversion is the creation of the 0-0-0.jpg thumbnail file. In the case of single-file PFF-based storage, the last step in conversion is creation of the final (non-temp) PFF file itself. In both cases, a server-side script can verify conversion completion using a ‘folder watch’ or ‘directory watch’ DLL (Dynamic Link Library). Numerous such DLLs can be found with a quick Internet search. For additional information see the question ‘How can I script conversion of one file after another?
