Outlook 2010 - assign fullsized pictures on a contact card - HOW? - outlook

I've faced with the next problem: I do not understand why but then I am assigning the proper picture in a high resolution (300x300dpi, file size ~1.5MB, photo's dimensions 700x500px) to my favorite contact at Outlook 2010 - this f... Outlook is stretching down my picture.
As a result I have picture with next output data: unknown dpi, file size ~15KB, photo's dimensions 300x200. Tested by two different operations available inside the contact's card dialog window:
calling the context menu on a thumbnail of my picture - and choosing menu item "COPY".
And exporting of the contact into the vCard file. After that - decoding saved picture from base64 format into a real binary JPEG format.
Questions: WHY outlook is changing the original quality and output data of my picture?
And which final dimensions the Outlook can accept as nonchangable? Only photo 200x300?
HOW to overcome this problem and forcibly to assign to contact's card exactly that picture which I wanted?

The picture will be resized if its dimensions are greater than 314x314 pixels and/or the size is greater than 50,000 bytes.
You can assign a picture with different attributes, but you will need to add it as a regular attachment (Attachments.Add), then add all the picture related properties using Attachment.PropertyAccesor.SetProperty - look at a contact with an existing picture with OutlookSpy (I am its author): select the contact, click IMessage, go to the GetAttachmentTable tab, double click to open the attachment. In particlar, you will need to add PR_ATTACHMENT_CONTACTPHOTO, PR_ATTACHMENT_FLAGS, PR_ATTACHMENT_HIDDEN, PR_ATTACHMENT_LINKID, PR_ATTACH_FLAGS properties.
Keep in mind that if the picture is too big, Outlook will not show it in the Card view in the folder.

progressbar with random sequence

Looking for help/idea to to show Progressbar with input type range
Say I have 100 images & images are downloaded in background cache in any random order between 0 to 100 in batch of 5 - on input type range I need to show which area image is downloaded - say in first batch 25-30 images are downloaded then it should display that area as highlighted - next batch may be 31-35| 51-55. once batch is downloaded I got notification & it should highlight that much area on progress bar -
currently it's implemented with linear gradient with input type range to show progress from left to right but say if user click on extreme right end, it may be possible that image might not be downloaded, so want to display exact state of cached image on UI.

Extracting images from files

Specifically i'm trying to extract all the imagery possible from a vehicle Sat Nav SD card.
When viewed on a PC, I can see certain ico, bmp or jpg files which consist of splash screens or small vehicle icon, which is fine. However i'm wanting to extract similar screens to the ones attached (not the visual map data but the ones which have a generic image of the road and sky and direct you which lane to be in when exiting or entering a road)
I want these images (if possible) to draw or paint into them.
Whether they exist as an image hidden somewhere in the code or they are an algorithm generated based on the type of road and direction you are heading, I don't know.
I have tried with HEX editors, but can only work with text.
Is there such a thing as a "visual" HEX editor?
Thanks all!

Unable to upload screenshots to G Suite Marketplace

I tried to upload a screenshot to publish a private Spreadsheet add-on.
However, it did not complete with a "Not saved" message.
"Not saved" message image
The screenshot field is a required and I cannot publish the add-on.
Steps to reproduce:
Click "Add screenshot"
Upload an image
Click “Done"
The requirements for a screenshot are:
Screenshots of your application. At least one is required, but you can
optionally provide up to five screenshots. These should be 1280 x 800
pixels in size. If necessary, screenshots 640 x 400 pixels or 2560 x
1600 pixels in size can be used. Your screenshots should have square
corners and no padding (full bleed).
After uploading a screenshot that fulfills the requirements you need to make sure that all other required fields (e.g. Developer website
) are filled out
Once all required fields are filled out correctly, the Update button becomes enabled
After clicking on the Update button your screenshot and other changes will become saved

Outlook Message Size With Embedded Images

When I "insert" an image into an Outlook e-mail, the size of the e-mail tends to get very large. For example, if the inserted image is 150kb the sent message is often 5mb (in this case there is only a line or two of text and the image). If I attach the file the e-mail size is what I'd expect. Can anyone explain why this is happening, and more importantly how I can insert a picture and keep the e-mail size to what it should be?
Thanks!
Is that in the RTF format? In case case you get an embedded OLE object, which contains the original data as well as the bitmap used to render the contents of the OLE object inline without initializing the app that created the OLE object (plus a few other things, like an icon, size information, etc.).
That being said, this is not a programming question.

Dynamically Link Images - Power Point

I have a slide presentation with the same image on 10 of the 20 slides. When I rebuild with the presentation for another user I have to change those 10 slides to update the image.
Is there a way to have one of the images be the master image and all other link back to the master so I can update just the one image ?
Cheers,
Fox
This is more a question for SuperUser than StackOverflow, but since we're here ...
To insert the first instance of the picture, choose Insert | Picture. Browse to the picture you want, select it then instead of clicking Insert in the dialog box, click the triangle to the right of Insert; from the dropdown that appears, choose "Insert and Link".
Now copy the picture to wherever else you want to use it in the presentation. Since the picture is linked, PPT will update the presentation with the latest version of the picture when you open the PPT file. But a full copy of the picture is also embedded, so if the linked file isn't available or the link breaks, the picture won't turn into a red x.
