TIPS !!

1. Perfect water level (nice and precise horizontal line !)

In any vessel add water and a few drops of dish cleaning liquid. Shake and let rest for 1 min.

2. Approximate value reminder
(with single picture taken with single hand in the fields, montain ... especially useful for remembering hyper 3D base)

3. *.SER files repair
In case you recorded a .SER file and space disk went to 0 the number of frames is not written in the SER file.
You can repair by putting a reasonable number as shown. Estimate number of frame like this :

A) In 16 bit format (SizeOfFile in bytes - 178*** ) / 597 033 ...

*** 178 dec, 0xB2, is start of data

My case : 120 601 KB --> 202 Frm hexa CA00 ....

B) In 8 bit format (SizeOfFile in bytes -

4. Recover software screen lost on invisible part of your desktop
(happens for example after I-Display use and no more screeen sharing)

Bring the application into focus (ex. Alt-Tab) then press ALT-SPACE then M then move the unseen application with left or right keys to bring it back to the visible desktop ! Finally hit RETURN when Ok.

5. How to be able to upload / download and view an animated GIF from a dropbox.com shared link ?

I made a 2.5 FPS GIF animation, robin.gif.
I could upload it to dropbox but when I made a link to share it

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ic3y0rkgdm28yi6/Robin.gif?dl=0 (dl=1 does not solve)

Opening the link only showed the first image of the animation, too bad !

So I tried to upload the gif file into dropbox with extension .anim (robin.anim) and shared a new link ...
Now when you download from this link ...

https://www.dropbox.com/s/mmmntl4capdwltb/Robin.anim?dl=1

... on your computer, rename the 6.41 Mo file robin.anim to robin.gif ... It will open as animation with either Irfanview, IE , etc !! SOLVED !
