Bluejeans: 107541143 **Agenda:** - Next week’s BNL meeting: - Image server - SW installation at BNL. - Video meeting day/time. - Weekly video meeting time? - Implementation priorities. [Here](http://www.rubin.community/t/paul-oconnors-visualization-feature-wish-list/545) is Paul O’Connor’s wish list. **Notes:** - I was mistaken about the students’ schedules. We can continue to meet at 11 AM Central time (9 AM Pacific) in the Fall. - No FF or SLAC attendees, so we had a local UIUC meeting. - Here are the four items on Paul’s list that we will work on first: Some were implemented in prototype versions of the SW and need to be reworked. - Gain and offset scaling by segment. - Histograms (_e.g._, pixel distribution along a line). - Commands driven by cursor location. We need to pass the cursor position to the terminal. - Related to blinking:  Image math (sum, difference, ratio) with display of result. ---

Tatiana and I are at LSST all hands in Tucson and won’t attend tomorrow’s meeting. We can support 5pm (your time) meeting on Fridays. ---

I probably also will not be able to make the meeting this week. I did succeed in getting the software installed on my laptop following the instructions Stuart posted last week, A few initial questions comments: - When I type help there is also a documentation link but it does not work. If it could at least point to a page which says “documentation coming soon” that would be good. - I tried to load a local image using: load\_image ffview file:///home/tonyj/Data/E2V-CCD250-049\_fe55\_fe55\_001\_20151210171111.fits but I got an error file:///home/tonyj/Data/E2V-CCD250-049\_fe55\_fe55\_001\_20151210171111.fits !matched /^https?😕 Does that error come from our code of firefly? Is it possible to get it to load a local image? - When I maximize the ffview window the Update Viewer Settings disappear. Is it possible to fix that? Tony ---

On the file path just use the standard unix path w/out the file:// part. The js code matches a regex for ^http and if it doesn’t match assumes it is a local file. The real error messages are in the fftools.log file. ---

To minimize confusion, the js code should recognize file:// also.
