Mac OS cannot verify the developer of the Tlauncher-2.69.jar app. A new window will appear asking if we are sure to open the application because it recognizes that Mac OS cannot verify the developer of the app. And explains that basically we take care that can lead to problems with our Mac.

It’s 1952, and the U.S. Air Force is operating a top-secret investigation: Project Blue Book. As a newly recruited agent, it’s your job to uncover the truth behind these real declassified UFO sightings. Test your observation and investigation skills in this out-of-this-world hidden object adventure! On Mac startup, 'Marsviewer' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer. Why does this happen? MacOSX has new application security that requires an application to belong to the App Store to be run and Marsviewer has yet to be released through the App Store. Resolution: As admin user, allow this application to be run. If your Mac is set to allow apps from the App Store and identified developers, and you try to install an app that isn’t signed by an identified developer and – in macOS Catalina and later – notarised by Apple, you also see a warning that the app cannot be opened. To allow any unidentified app, you will have to go to system preferences and allow your macOS Catalina to open it. This reduces the risk of automatically opening a software containing malware. The following are the steps involved: 1. Try opening an application you downloaded from another developer. Obviously, you will be blocked.

(v3.5.6, February 23, 2021)

The Mars Image Viewer (Marsviewer) is an image viewing tool tailored to Mars in-situ missions. It makes it easy to view original images (EDRs) as well as all derived image products (RDRs), such as XYZ maps, slope, reachability, mosaics, etc. Originally designed as a quality control tool for the MER image processing team, it sees wide use throughout the MER, MSL, InSight and PHX ops and science teams (with Mars 2020 coming soon). Leveraging webification (w10n) on the backend, Marsviewer has now been extended to work with the PDS Imaging archive data.

Installation

Native installations are available for supported platforms (i.e. Windows, Mac OSX). These installation programs setup the environment with necessary executables and libraries.

Windows (XP/Vista/Win7/Win8/Win10)

Installation:

1. Download marsviewer-install.zip containing the marsviewer-installer.exe installation executable.
   
2. Once downloaded, double-click the .zip file to reveal the marsviewer-installer.exe installation executable.
3. Run the installation wizard, specifying the location to which the application suite will be installed on your computer.The default installation location is %PROGFILES%JPLMarsviewer. (where %PROGFILES% should be replaced with the suitable ‘Program Files’ directory of your system). The new client (for Windows) will remove older clients.
   NOTE: If you received an error while attempting to write files to new directories, ensure that your account has appropriate permissions set for writing to that location. In Windows 7 and 8, you may try right clicking on the installer and selecting ‘Run as Administrator’. This allows the installation to create new directories in otherwise protected locations (i.e. ‘C:Program Files’).
   

Running application:

In that install directory you will find two executables ( marsviewer.exe and jadeviewer.exe). Double click on either to run the respective application. Marsviewer is used for browsing Mars images that reside on PDS servers. Jadeviewer is used for looking at a specific image data product on your computer.

Shortcuts: During the install process, there is an option to install shortcuts. If enabled, these shortcuts can be found on your Desktop and/or the Start Menu.

Note: You can also edit the shortcut properties to provide command line arguments for the application (i.e. set default file finder type and location).

Mac OSX

Installation:

1. Download the Marsviewer DMG file.
   
2. Once downloaded, the DMG file should be expanded. If not, then double-click on the file to expand it.
3. Select and drop the Marsviewer (for search and display) and Jadeviewer (image viewer only) apps into your Applications folder. Marsviewer is used for browsing Mars images that reside on PDS servers. Jadeviewer is used for looking at a specific image data product on your computer.

Running application:

To run, double-click the application icon.

Unix/Linux

There is currently no native support for installing marsviewer applications on Unix and Linux platforms. Instead, configuration and launcher scripts are used via the command line. These files and the associated libraries are packaged in a .Tar and .Zip files.

Installation:

1. Download the marsviewer.tar file:
   
2. Create a deployment directory on your computer.
3. Expand the archive into the new deployment directory.

Execution:

Run the marsviewer (for search and display) or jadeviewer (image viewer only) launcher.

Note: The launchers can be edited to include an initial file finder location and type if the same product repository is used regularly.

Getting Started

The following section includes a few video tutorials to help you get started. You can also check out the remaining sections below for more info on how to use Marsviewer, deciphering product listings, and what all those acronyms mean.

Tutorials

Using Marsviewer

When Marsviewer starts up, it asks you to select a File Finder. The easiest way is to use the Presets, which set up the file finder type and the correct server.

Mission and Instruments Supported

There are currently 3 mission/instruments with PDS archive data supported by PDS Marsviewer:

• Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) ECAM
• Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) Spirit and Opportunity
• Phoenix
• Mars Science Laboratory (MSL) MMM - Coming Soon

Categories Of Data

There are two basic categories of data that are available:

• Single-frame products: This includes everything derived from a single image or stereo pair: imagery, XYZ, surface normal, etc.
• Mosaics: More complex data products generated by the MIPL OPGS.

File Finder Presets

The Marsviewer file finder presets that appear when the application opens, allow access to various combinations of the above:

File Finder Name	Description
Mars Science Laboratory ECam (single-frame products and mosaics)	Includes all single-frame and mosaic products from the MSL Engineering Cameras.
Mars Science Laboratory ECam (single-frame products only)	Includes only single-frame products from the MSL Engineering Cameras.
MER Opportunity (single-frame products and mosaics)	Includes all single-frame and mosaic products from the MER Opportunity rover cameras.
MER Spirit (single-frame products and mosaics)	Includes all single-frame and mosaic products from the MER Spirit rover cameras.
MER Opportunity (single-frame products only)	Includes only single-frame products from the MER Opportunity rover cameras.
MER Spirit (single-frame products only)	Includes only single-frame products from the MER Spirit rover cameras.
Phoenix	Includes single-frame products from the Phoenix Lander.

Advanced users can select the 'Advanced' checkbox to view more detailed file finders options. While a greater set of file finder types might be available, only the ones with 'PDS_W10N' in the name will work with our servers.

Product Listing

• After you have selected a File Finder, and you get a main screen type a sol number in the Sol box and press Refresh List.
• You should see a list of EDR's on the left panel. Select one to see it.
• The tabs across the top then select the RDR to view, while the tabs on the left allow you to select left vs. right eye and thumbnail vs. full images.
• If you hover over a tab with your mouse, a pop-up tooltip describes what the tab is.

If no EDR's show up, try a different sol; some actually had no imagery. If you still can't see anything, contact the Imaging Node for troubleshooting.

MSL

The following table details some tips to help determine the product type based on the filename prefix. For more information on the products, check out the MSL Camera SIS.

Prefix	Camera
FL, FR	Front hazcam
N_	Navcam mosaic
NA	Navcam anaglyphs
NL, NR	Navcam
RL, RR	Rear hazcam

MER

The following table details some tips to help determine the product type based on the filename prefix. For more information on the products, check out the MER Camera SIS.

For single-frame and mosaic:
First character represent the specific MER rover, where:
1	opportunity
2	spirit
Second character represents the instrument:
e	ecam (EDL camera)
p	pancam
n	navcam
f	front-hazcam
r	rear-hazcam
m	microimager
[optional] For single-frame products, the 24th character indicates eye:
l	Left
r	Right
a	Anaglyph
m	Monoscopic
n	None

Phoenix

The following table details some tips to help determine the product type and instrument based on the filename prefix. For more information on the products, check out the Phoenix Camera SIS.

First character represents the instrument:
o	MECA-OM
r	RAC
s	SSI
[optional] The 24th character indicates eye:
l	Left
r	Right
a	Anaglyph
m	Monoscopic
n	None

Note that EDRs are grouped; red letters in the filename show what letters are different among members of the group (generally, stereo images along with their thumbnails). The tabs on the left select different members of the group; hovering over the EDR shows the matching products. In particular, if the eye field is a red L, that indicates it is a stereo product.

FAQs

• On Windows startup, the error log shows 'WARNING: Could not open/create prefs root node SoftwareJavaSoftPrefs at root 0x80000002. Windows RegCreateKeyEx(...) returned error code 5.' How do I resolve this?

  Why does this happen? Unfortunately, this problem is not currently solvable programmatically on the Windows OS. The Windows implementation of Marsviewer preferences uses the Windows registry. When instantiated, that implementation tries to access/create a system-wide entry in the table. If the user does not have Administrative access to the system, the system-wide attempt results in an warning message being printed by the Preferences underlying logger. There are 2 possible workarounds for this problem:

  Easiest Workaround: Run the application as Admin by right-clicking the app icon and selecting 'Run as administrator'. Note: This should only be required for first run of software. Also, see Installation and Getting Started sections above for video tutorials of how to complete installation.

  Other Workaround: Add the entry in the registry explicitly:

  • Go into your Start Menu and type regedit into the search field.
  • Navigate to the following path
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareJavaSoft
  • Right click on the JavaSoft folder and click on New -> Key
  • Name the new key 'Prefs' and everything should work.

• On Mac startup, 'Marsviewer' can't be opened because it is from an unidentified developer.

  Why does this happen? MacOSX has new application security that requires an application to belong to the App Store to be run and Marsviewer has yet to be released through the App Store.

  Resolution: As admin user, allow this application to be run:

  • Eject the DMG if you have not already done so:
    
  • Open a Terminal window and enter the following commands:
    • % sudo spctl --master-disable
    • % xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /path/to/Marsviewer.dmg
    • % sudo spctl --master-enable
  • Reopen application

• Why can't I see MSL Mastcam data? (or MAHLI, or MARDI)

  Due to the way MSL images from Mastcam, MAHLI, and MARDI are formattedin PDS, Marsviewer is currently unable to read them. We are working onthe issue and expect to have it resolved soon.

A recreation of the Flying Toasters screensaver that was part of the After Dark series of original screensavers for the Apple Mac operating system. Bread toasters with wings and toasted slices of bread fly through the screen against a solid black background.

ummm maybe update this so it actually works with Big Sur

great preview tho....edit....second download worked fine.

Works on windows 10, but doesn't really handle 4k displays that well.

Nostalgia at its finest!

I nearly wept when I got this to work on my laptop and external monitor; I can't believe how long it's been since I had the first version of After Dark! and how much I've missed it. The best dose of nostalgia I've had in a while!

Note the security tips: https://www.screensaversplanet.com/help/guides/mac/file-cant-be-opened-because-it-is-from-an-unidentified-developer-38

Doesn't work if you're using nVidia surround

For the first time in 20 years, I have flying toasters on my computer! It takes me back to high school and installing After Dark onto my 386SX-16 with a whopping TWO MEGABYTES of RAM (!) and watching those toasters stutter and jerk across the screen; today they glide effortlessly across the screen on my dual core i5 MacBook Pro. My, how times have changed...

Yep. definitely loved it in the early 90s on my Quadra when working at an oil company in Lagos. Great stuff!!!

The screen saver is very nice. I wished there would be all the other afterdeck modules incl. Disney and StarTreck available for MacOS X. My only problem in Mac Catalina is that every once in a while the system pops up and requests to move the screensaver to the Trash Bin since from an unidentified developer. Although I go to the privacy settings preferences to allow opening the screensaver, it happens over and over again. Its a bit disturbing. Any one has the same issues and maybe a solution to this problem?

It's not codesigned. Therefore, I can't trust it on my system. Very disappointed.

Works great for me on my MBP running 10.15.4 - across my 30' Cinema Display and 2 x 27' 1080i screens all at once!

Shame there's no configurable settings - so a star off for that.

But otherwise I'm awash with nostalgia!

Reminds me of my childhood. You should allow for multiple monitor settings, though.

Great screensaver. No settings, alas. But it's free and works on Catalina! I like the retro stuff. This a feel-good screensaver.

Sadly doesn't work on XP for me :/ 2 stars

Major Love for Flying Toasters. Really Relax My Mind.

Fantastic. I wish operating systems had more character like they did in the good old days. Nowadays everything is so sterile and there's no way at all to add personal touches to your environment. Sad. But this screensaver really helps bring back the memories of better OS days. Very, very well done.

Great to have a FREE version that works with Windows 10.
(I have home version with all updates as of 7/2019).
Installed and worked no problems.

great! pity that you haven't any personalization about dimensions, speed... but ok, it's freeware :)

I think they are a great piece of art and they are very much missed, I flourished with them growing up with Windows 3.0, 98 and XP.
I would also like to see an updated Free Agent Screen savers like Morface, On Patrol, etc...

Nice touch of nostalgia - works fine on Mojave. (OS 10.14)

Great Screensaver! Only Problem is that it Does Not Work on Mac OS 10.6.8.

Not optimized for 4k screen. The instants of the toasters disappear before they are out of the screen, and none of them reaches the bottom left of the screen.

Its Does Not Have Any Of The Customization The Original Had
3 stars

Works perfectly on Mac OS on both single and multiple display setups.

Sadly does not work on multiple monitors, and doesn't even make the second monitor black, wanted to like this, but that's unfortunate :-(

Very nice. It reminds on former times working with Windows XP. Now I have installed the screensaver to Windows 10 Pro x64 Version 1709. To install the screensaver copy the scr-file to C:WindowsSystem32. To activate goto settings-personalization-lockscreen, scroll to last entry: settings screensaver.

Allow Macos To Install From Unidentified Developer

Thank you! Really well executed/ported. I missed it! Works great!

Still have the original CD and run it on my XP machine. Shortly updating my machine and hope I can get it to run on Windows 10.
I like the falling bouncing balls (Marbles) the best.

Thank you for bringing this back!

Love it1

THIS IS SO GREAT! Thank you for porting this over! :))))

Great thing, finally!
Suggestions for a new version:
user can use a configuration menue to define
- background image and foreground image (that reflects on toasters)
- light brightness and adjust color (affects flying items only)
- light location (affects flying items only)

nostalgia, nice nostalgia

I can watch it forever, like I used to do. Toasters fly a bit too smoothly, though.

Pretty good. In fact I love it! Except - no sound. I miss the Flying Toasters anthem
Flying out of the sun
The smell of toast is in the air
When there's a job to be done
The Flying Toasters will be there!

MMmmMM... tasty.

OMG the nostalgia! Runs so smoothly too.

Reminds me good memories!
