So I am uploading encounter files to realmworks from Combat Manager, and some other PDF's / Excel files etc. When you download them however it gives them some ridiculous randomized name.
I am sure this is done for a reason but I am curious as to why? |

Realm Works writes a temporary version of the file first, then does whatever action you told Realm Works to do. Often this is telling Windows to open the file so that it gets opened in the application you've assigned in Explorer.
To make sure Realm Works can write the new file without stomping on any files that already exist it (likely) asks Windows for a unique file name, and Windows generates randomized file names when you do that.

Good Idea to use orginal file name + <saved date in RW>
if name is too long, cut off at the end and add the saved date in RW. Join the (unofficial) Realm-Works IRC Chat: #realm-works on the Rizon Network (https://wiki.rizon.net/index.php?title=Servers) -> Browser Client: https://kiwiirc.com/client/irc.rizon.net |

We can upload files into realmworks? Does this mean I don't have to keep manually entering everything? How does this work can it splinter topics? When did this happen (been away from RW for a while) lol |

You can upload files. Whole files. Not paragraphs, not sections, not topics. It's just like an image file, sound file, HL file. Keep in mind though that there is a file size limit so many PDF's won't fit. And it may impact your storage space in the RW cloud. These were not the droids you were seeking.

Where are the limitations listed for Files sizes, Realm sizes etc? |

Files are 30 megs. Realm limits haven't been announced.

I am figuring you must be able to have multiple files per realm. My databases is over 90 megs already and I am just getting started. I sure hope there will be huge realm limits if any.
Hopefully LWD can answer on the realm & database limits I don't want to build this up and hit a wall where I can't add to my realm. Assuming there will eventually be a limit how will things be handled when it is hit? Hopefully there will be some solutions to mitigate this problem assuming it becomes one. |

The limit on a file embedded in a Snippet (image, PDF, video, etc.) is 30,000,000 bytes. You'll get an error saying this if you try to use something larger. Images also have resolution limits separate from the file size limit. They haven't announced limits on your master.realm file or on your online storage as far as I know. The largest size for a master.realm file I've seen someone post was 2.8 GB. As everything else works on entire databases, not individual realms, I'm expecting any online storage limitations will also be for your entire database. Whatever they might be I expect those limits will be announced along with the Content Market, if not sooner. Last edited by Parody; April 25th, 2015 at 05:17 PM. |

We have not determined online storage limits, yet, nor details on whether it is per realm or overall. Given you can have some realms that are synced and others have data only in your local database, users will have control over these limits and how they want to deal with them. Images are limited to 30,000,000 bytes like other types. However, we also warn if you try importing high resolution images. The warning kicks in for images with pixels more than a 4,096 x 3,072 resolution image has (which is 12,582,912 pixels total). So you could import a 12,000,000 x 1,000 pixel image and not get the warning. And even with the warning, you can still import the image. Just be aware that performance may suffer and it is possible to run out of memory. |
