I have a presentation that I would like to publish. I am pretty sure most of the images are CC-By-SA, but I would like to make sure.
Is there a tool that:
exports all images in an .odp-file
searches for these on Google Images
finds the license+attribution for these images or at least finds the URL where the images are
You can get all the images by unzipping the .odp file and looking in the resulting Pictures subdirectory. However it looks like the filename is not the original name, so I do not know how you could use this for searching.
If you are interested in writing macros, have a look at http://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=64969. Again I do not think you can determine the original filename this way. If your presentation contains captions that tell the name of each image then it may be possible to search based on those names.

First, thanks for any and all help regarding this topic.
Sites like Facebook and Twitter strip EXIF information from images as they are uploading. My goal is to allow users to upload images to our platform (working with Nextcloud and others) with full EXIF information, however, we need to display images that do not contain EXIF information or any metadata. Without stripping and creating a second, Exif-Free image for each, is it possible to simply hide that EXIF info so that, if a user downloads that image, the EXIF is not embedded?
We were told that the only way to do this is to have a second, exif-free copy (the order of when that's created is irrelevant pre/during/post upload). I'm hoping there's a way that we can simply display such a copy without doubling our physical space requirements.
Thanks again for your help.
Exif is metadata, along with IPTC, XMP, AFCP, ICC, FPXR, MPF, JPS and a comment, just for the JFIF/JPEG file format alone. Other picture file formats support even more/other metadata.
You wrote it yourself: a download - so it's a file in any case. Pictures are files, just like executables, movies, texts, music and archives are files, too. And metadata is part of its content, so whoever accesses the raw bytes of the file can grab everything in it. Which is not "please don't look" proof. If you
create that on the fly by stripping metadata everytime a download is requested,
or if you do it once to preserve performance and instead occupy space remains your decision.
If there would be something as simple as a "don't show" feature then it would still be in the file and could be extracted easily by software written to ignore that instruction. Seriously, there's no shortcut to that - do it properly and don't spare yourself from getting work done at the wrong end.
A friend of mine inherited (don't ask about the specifics here) a documentation on Google Earth which incorporates a lot of images. Those where on a server and accessed from there.
Now the server has been shutdown, so the web-links are gone. Nevertheless the images are still available as the server data has been secured. The links in GE are now marked as invalid, and I can see that there are web-links in the form of https://domain.tld/directory/image.jpg in the app.
So I am looking for a solution to extract the data to be able to replace the https://domain.tld/directory-part, replace it with an appropriate local directory (C:\directory\) and then reload it back into the GE.
Or is there any internal function/tool available in GE?
(IT-knowledge to a certain extent to make conversions is available.)
If by "documentation on Google Earth" you mean a KML file, then yes, you should be able to update the URLs relatively easily. a KML file is just an XML text file, so you can open it up with any text editor. If you use a full featured text editor then you can do a find/replace on the "https://domain.tld/directory/" part, and replace it with something that looks like: "file:///C:/directory/".
Where you find the URLs will depend on whether the images are used as ground overlays, icons, content in balloons associated with placemarks, etc.
I have these two urls:
https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2017/06/24/09/13/dog-2437110_960_720.jpg
and
http://www.deutschland-machts-effizient.de/SiteGlobals/KAENEF/StyleBundles/Bilder/sublogo.png;jsessionid=DF603F2801D8F686FD4BCFAD770C3FC9?__blob=normal&v=3
Trying to access the pictures with wget works for the first one, but does not for the second one. Of course the first more closely resembles a picture (ending in .jpg), but any browser I tested displayed both as pictures I could download.
Instead of a picture I download a 2000 line html file, which contains several img tags. I guess I could try any of the urls, but I want to automate this for a general case, so this doesn't really help me.
What is the inherent difference between both pictures in the way they are stored on their respective server?
How can I download the second picture using wget?
I think a student of mine renamed a PNG a Word document and intentionally submitted a corrupted file to buy more time (or something) on an assignment. The student denies everything and claims it was a computer malfunction. Before I submit an honor code violation I want to be sure that there's no explanation that does not involve cheating that I'm somehow overlooking.
Basically, I'm a TA and a student submitted a paper, let's say it was Smith.docx. When I was working on grading and went to open Smith.docx Word wouldn't open it and said that it was corrupted. I eventually had the idea of opening it in a text editor and there it was a massive jumbled file of all sorts of odd characters (total file size: 180kb for what was supposed to be a 5 page paper).
I noticed, though, that the first few characters of the file were:
‰PNG
I renamed the file Smith.png and it opened. Bizarrely, it was an image of the first page of a Word document. More specifically, it looks like a screenshot of a Word doc cropped so as to show just the page. What makes it seem like a screenshot is that the cursor thingy (the vertical bar marking where you're typing) shows up next to the title.
An additional interesting bit of data is that if I scroll further down in the file (opened in notepad) I come to this:
XML:com.adobe.xmp <x:xmpmeta xmlns:x="adobe:ns:meta/" x:xmptk="XMP Core 5.4.0">
<rdf:RDF xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#">
<rdf:Description rdf:about=""
xmlns:exif="http://ns.adobe.com/exif/1.0/">
<exif:PixelXDimension>996</exif:PixelXDimension>
<exif:PixelYDimension>1286</exif:PixelYDimension>
</rdf:Description>
</rdf:RDF>
</x:xmpmeta>
I'm not sure what all that means but 1286x996 are the dimensions of the png image. The rest suggests to me that the file was created in some Adobe program but I'm not sure if that's right and how to figure out more about that.
So, my actual question: Is there any conceivable explanation of any kind for how I would come to have a file called Smith.docx that is a perfectly functioning png of what sure looks like a screenshot of the first page of a Word document other than that the student did it on purpose? The student claimed that their computer was "corrupting" files and that they had to take it into the Apple for service. I find this incredibly implausible (student has also not provided the receipt for this, which I requested).
Additionally, other than the case I laid out here, is there any positive evidence for my theory (that it was a straightforward case of cheating) that I can present to strengthen my case? eg, is the data from the file that I posted above a smoking gun that it was created in an Adobe program or is there any conceivable way that could come out of a Word document or other sort of corrupted file?
Also, is there anything else I can look for in the PNG file that would be a smoking gun?
Thanks in advance for any help you might be able to offer!
just rename the file with .png at the end instead of .docx and if it was a png then it should open just fine as a png
The key is that you see the cursor in the screenshot, there is no way Word would export (somehow) a docx file as a png AND draw the cursor for typing. Also, any tool that could do that would save the file as png not docx, only the user could deliberately change the file extension.
Also, does the screenshot show an empty document? or it looks like the final document your student delivered at the end?
Short answer:
The student is lying and is in fact a cheater (in my opinion).
Also, even if they were telling the truth, it is still their responsibility to have their work done, ready, and fully functional on time. Your computer is corrupting your files? Tough cookies. No one cares. You should have done your work on another computer. In the real world, excuses don't get you anywhere and they shouldn't get you anywhere in school either.
Lastly, it is very easy to re-name an extension of another file type and claim it's corrupt and very unlikely that a computer is just creating corrupted files. If their computer would otherwise create corrupted files, I would imagine it would be nearly impossible to get the computer to boot. In other words, they probably wouldn't have been able to turn on their "corrupted" computer to create "corrupted" files in the first place.
How do you get the graphic that is next to the address bar show up?
I have a very simple site, and I want to make a custom image, and have it show up when a user is on my site.
Thanks
Place a 16x16 favicon.ico file in your websites root directory.
You can produce one in any number of graphic editing programs (including paint).

I found this on wikipedia, which seems to well describe what you are asking:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Favicon
What your after is a favicon.ico file, check out the wikipedia article for more details.
There are also a number of online generators out there. See Google for more =)
favicon.ico files are also used by some browsers when a user bookmarks your site.
Make a square image and edit it the way that you want. Make sure that you don't add any small details. Next, go to http://www.favicon.cc.com/ . This site will convert your image to a supported .ico format. Rename the file favicon.ico and put it in the root directory of your site. You should have a favicon in your browser now.
This icon, is a favicon, and you have to upload a file to your site if you want it. But if you want to make your favicon work in all browsers properly, you will have to add more than 10 files in the correct sizes and formats.
My friend and I have created an App just for this! you can find it in faviconit.com
We did this, so people don´t have to create all these images and the correct tags by hand, create all of them used to annoy me a lot!
The file generated comes with a small explanation on what to do with the files. We will make it better, but it's a start.
Hope it helps!
