88. nt and naming of files Impatica recommends a simple approach Keep all PowerPoint source files that link to each other in the same folder Impaticize with the default save name and with the source folder as the save location When uploading put all of the files into the same folder This approach will simplify the process and minimize the risk of broken hyperlinks If during the playback of an Impatica file a hyperlink to a file is clicked and the Impatica applet is unable to find the specified file a dialog box will appear notifying the user that the file could not be found Setting up the Web Server Impatica s content is delivered from a standard HTTP web server using a Java player applet As a result any standard web server set up will work just fine For performance reasons it is good practice to use a single instance of the applet class files and or jar files When a Java applet is invoked the browser first checks to see if the player has already been loaded and is in cache if so it uses the cached copy of the player instead of downloading the player from the web server As a result the content plays almost instantaneously However the only way for the browser to ascertain that the required player is in cache is to compare the path names of the requested and cached players Therefore all references to impaticized content should point to a common codebase for the player files Converting Unsupported Elements to Pictures
