Re: [foxboro] Resetting graphics optimization for FoxView?

Welcome to our paper machine! <grin>

I just checked one of the FoxView workstations and it has 4818 .fdf files under
the operator graphic directory.  The breakdown is something like this:
~400 primary graphics
~1000 motor overlays
~1800 control overlays
~600 hand controls overlays
~300 misc overlays
~700 graphics and overlays that are obsolete, redundant, work in progress,
backup or have no readily obvious purpose to me.

I could get this information through OAJ.  Many of the graphics are not needed
or used on a day-to-day basis, however that doesn't make them any less important
when they need to be used.

Unfortunately not practical.  When an operator needs to take rapid action, the
30 second delay only to call up a smurfed out graphic is unacceptable.
