Both Windows 11 and Adobe now recognize and process HEIC/HEIF files. The reason for adoption is that it's small, fast and accurate.? FireFox doesn't understand it, so if you use a URL to access HEIC/HEIF files, FF will ask you where to save it.? Also, while Adobe understands how to READ such files, it either won't or can't save in that format.? My wife's been an iPhone use for many years, but only when she got an iPhone 11s did her pictures begin to be stored as HEIC/HEIF. Re size, I have a JPG file that's about 9MB, while the image it was converted from is only 3MB.? To my eye they look identical.? Also, while JPG is a lossy format, that isn't true for HEIC/HEIF files. FireFox, Adobe and Windows 11 also understand the relatively new format used in WEBP files.? That's more protection than anything else, but now that Adobe can read and write them, that's mostly irrelevant. Metta, Ivan On Mon, Mar 4, 2024 at 3:10?PM Larry Finch <Finches@...> wrote:

Adding and Removing Members in a Subgroup
Hello -? I would like to host subscriptions to exclusive content within subgroups in our group (). Specifically, in order for a user to get access to specific content, they would have to be a member of the subgroup containing that content, and membership in the subgroup would be provided in fixed-term increments. I realize that we cannot manage time-limited subscriptions in . Therefore, I would manage the subscriptions in a separate spreadsheet. However, I need a way to update the subgroup member list in a reliable and straightfoward way. The File Sync option is the perfect solution to this... except for one big problem: File Sync doesn't work at the subgroup level.?So I need to find a workaround. I¡¯m supposing that I might update subscriptions once a week and I see that I can bulk delete every member from a subgroup. So perhaps every Sunday morning, I could delete everyone in the subgroup and then add back everyone whose subscription is still valid. But is there no way to upload a .csv file back to the subgroup to fill out the updated membership again? The Direct Add option would not be automated enough. As an alternative, I see that I can upload a CSV file of people to remove in bulk. So I could do that periodically as well. But is there no way to add people in bulk to a subgroup? |
