How to add images to starting menu? about aida HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi @rcasero,

Glad this all worked out. You are exactly right in your findings.
I'll try to write up some more thorough docs asap that will reference all these little things!

Started throwing together a wiki. Feel free to contribute to anything you find that needs a little more explanation!

@alanaberdeen That's a great idea, I will

Answer to first question is that no file editing is needed.

When the server starts, it reads the image directory for new images, and automatically updates ~/Software/AIDA/dist/data/images.json when new images are added to ~/Software/AIDA/dist/data/images/ and the page is reloaded, e.g. as

["example.jpg","foo.jpg"]

Answer to second question is that .ndpi files cannot be read by AIDA.

You need to install libvips with

sudo apt install libvips

and then convert the file with e.g.

vips VipsForeignSaveDz file.ndpi ~/Software/AIDA/dist/data/images/file

This will create a '.dzi' file and the corresponding directory of image tiles

Sorry for commenting on a closed issue, but my issue is closely related.
While I run in Development mode, no images are listed. Showing "No data available"
Please tell where I should put the images for running in development mode.

Hey @BalachandraTejas, no problem.

The steps are essentially the same as those laid out here in the ReadMe

1. Clone the repository
2. cd to /dist
3. Install dependencies via npm install
4. Add the images you want to annotate to the /dist/data/images directory.
5. Run the nodeJS local application via node aidaLocal.js

Now if you want to run an additional hot-reloading development server...

6. cd to AIDA
7. Install dependencies via npm install
8. start a hot-reloading dev server with npm run serve

This should leave you with a development build running at http://localhost:8080/ and referencing an expressJS backend running at http://localhost:3000/
