Hi. We are glad to see you ask for more videos... that means it has some value for you - it may be helping you in some way - maybe just to fall asleep quicker :D Since in the videos we try to share as much knowledge from our experience as we can it takes a long time and effort to create them. On average 20 minutes of video takes me personally about 6 hours of planning, scripting, recording, cutting, correcting, re-writing, putting on web,... now even more when translating to English, script modification, video to speech fitting.... So this TH-cam channel is mainly to show a little from that you can get on www.vizoftx.com - where you already have new videos - translated in English in time of writing this message: BASICS 1: ... Coordinate spaces Results evaluation Export template... Saving to shift... Project deployment BASICS 2: Logging and doc... We are also building a community there with our customers and machine vision professionals where we can also communicate via messages and share our developed "specials" which are saving us time and money in everyday work on the projects like MTS_CognexDesignerProjectTemplate, MTS_AnomalyDetection, MTS_OCR_Tool, FoldersSizeKeeper, Gimp plugin for images segmentation anotation, MTS_PhotometricStereo, MTS_LBP_ParamsFinder, - many of which are not there yet but will be in near future... Some of the videos and software are under free account which you can open directly on the registration page, but to get full access you need to have Premium account which sadly we have to ask for some money to be able to keep making progress on it. To get a premium account just fill out the form on the home page www.vizoftx.com, or if you register free account just look for Michal Zajac (me) in members, send me a message and we will contact you. - if there are any issues you can write here in comments. Have a nice day.

Ok, I have checked. It is working. When I correctly setup the scheduled task, it is able to work without logged in user right after windows start. BUT: If you want to see tray icon or "play" with the user interface of the application, you will have to schedule second task, which will run after user login, kills the application instance which was running in background and starts it again - there is an option for this right in the Scheduler -> Create Task -> Settings tab - > Stop the existing instance. Without this the first instance will be running but you will not be able to interact with it because there will be no tray icon nor GUI. Remember to uncheck the "Stop the task if it runs longer than: " option in Settings tab when setting up the tasks. I have played with the code of the application for a while, so it would rebuild the tray icon, but I was not successful for now. Maybe when I will have more time.... Hope it helps

Good question. Saving PNG using inbuild method takes a very long time. Even couple of seconds, which is unacceptable in most of cases. Maybe in future there will be more control over compression ratio which would allow control over the processing time. PNG is also lossless format so it is OK to use in inspection systems. Thank you for the feedback.

@@vizoftx Ahh, i see. Would it be possible to transform a image with an external library through a script-Block? Or does this take the same time?

Yes. It's very easy to extend the functionality using scripts, or even plugins, that is what I like about Designer. We are often saving images in JPEG (images with graphics, or images used for deep learning) using scripts, so saving to PNG using script is definitely possible. I personally experimented with that, but only using default c# functionality - with lover compression ratio it was much faster, but then we were loosing the advantage of space saving. I did not experiment with third party library. It would be great if you (or someone else) could advice some good library. But using external library is causing increased complexicity, which may be impractical over time. There is a tradeoff between added value and added complexicity.

Thank you very much for the feedback. We have about 40 videos in Slovak language but the translation takes time. Since we are vision specialists by profession we do this in our spare time. We are using neural networks for it becase we dont have much time to sit infront of microphone. But hopefully it is enough to understand. Your feedback is our fuel :). We are thankfull for any feedback - bad or good. It helps us to make the tutorials better. Thank you.

@@vizoftx Youre welcome and thanks for your effort. The language is perfectly understandable. I honestly almost didn't notice that it was an AI. Only sometimes are some words pronounced strangely (like POE or GigE), but no problem. We are about to decide to do a PC-based project with CognexDesigner instead of the In-Sight systems we are familiar with and your videos have given me the final jolt that this should be well feasible.
