Publishing Existing Images

You can use GeoExpress to publish images directly to Express Server. Express Server supports MG4, MG3, MG2, and JPEG 2000 images. Publishing is a one-time operation that does not use project files and does not alter or delete the source images on the machine's hard disk.

To publish existing images:

1. In the Tools menu, click Publish Images.

The Publish Images dialog box appears.

2. Add images to the Source Images list by clicking Add Images To Publish, selecting images, and clicking Open. Alternatively, drag files into the window.
3. When you finish adding images, click Publish to Express Server.

The Express Server browser appears. For more information, see Selecting an Express Server.

4. Click OK to begin the publishing process.

The Publish Image dialog changes to display two progress bars. The bottom bar monitors the publishing progress of an individual image and the top bar monitors the aggregate progress of all the images in a job.

To cancel the operation, click either Cancel All or Cancel Current Image.

Viewing Results

The results of a publishing operation are displayed in the Publishing dialog. Alternatively, you can view the results by opening the log files stored in the following directory:

<User directory>\Documents\LizardTech\GeoExpress\9.5.4\logs

There are two log files related to publishing:

• GeoExpressPublish_log.txt is a running log of all publishing operations.
• publish_session_log.txt is a temporary log that only lists the images published in the most recent publishing operation.

For more information see Viewing and Using Log Information.
