We give out usb thumb drives containing the projects that we shoot. We appreciate that loading the projects from the thumbdrives can sometimes be challenging.
This is significantly because web browsers recently changed their policies on what content they allow to operate from local (computer) sources. This is a quick guide that will help overcome these issues.
- Download the files from dropbox
- Place the file MAC-START-HERE or PC-START-HERE in the same folder as the “start-here.html”
- Double click the specific file depending on your system.
All new usb thumb drives are sent with a small script that tricks the web browser into thinking the usb drive is a web server. This fixes most issues with very little effort. For older projects, these files can be downloaded from our dropbox account. There is a file for Macs and one for PC. It is worth downloading both for future needs.
