Here was my solution.  When the map starts loading, set the thumbMovingRate high, when the map is done loading, return thumbMovingRate to normal:         if (this._isVisible && this._timeSlider.playing){             if (!this._playShortCircuited){                 this._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(999999999);                 var self = this;                 this._playShortCircuitStartSignal = this._esriMap.on('update-start', function(){                     self._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(999999999);                 });                 this._playShortCircuitEndSignal = this._esriMap.on('update-end', function(){                     self._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(self._thumbMovingRate);                 });                 this._playShortCircuited = true;             }         } else {             if (this._playShortCircuited){                 this._timeSlider.setThumbMovingRate(this._thumbMovingRate);                 this._playShortCircuitEndSignal.remove();                 this._playShortCircuitStartSignal.remove();                 this._playShortCircuitEndSignal = null;                 this._playShortCircuitStartSignal = null;                 this._playShortCircuited = false;             }         } ...

I you are wary of using that third party utility, here are detailed instructions for using editbin.exe from Visual Studio 2010: http://gisgeek.blogspot.com/2012/01/set-32bit-executable-largeaddressaware.html This page shows that editbin.exe comes with Visual C++ Express 2010, so there should be a free do-it-yourself option for the security conscious: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hs24szh9.aspx ...

You might also consider JSON instead of XML. Komodo Edit uses JSON for their toolboxes. Having a binary in our version control software is also irksome, we can not easily merge changes made by different users. ... View more

Roy, I'm using Eclipse+Pydev and love it.  There is more overhead to learn, but you get a powerful IDE instead of just an editor. You shouldn't copy anything. 1. Set up interpreter:  Preferences > PyDev > Interpreter - Python > New Make sure the following are checked:   C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\bin   C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\arcpy   C:\Program Files (x86)\ArcGIS\Desktop10.0\ArcToolbox\Scripts 2. Add arcpy to forced-builtins: After interpreter is set up, click on "Forced Builtins" tab > "New..." button > enter arcpy Correction #1: C:\Python26\ArcGIS10.0\Lib\site-packages\Desktop10.pth defines these paths for your python installation, but it appears that PyDev needs to define them directly, it doesn't seem to respect the .pth files Correction #2: It looks like you must use forced built-ins: http://pydev.org/manual_101_interpreter.html#id8 ...

A coworker and I just ran into a similar problem.  We were performing a mosaic using an img and a grid and we were checking the cell counts of the final raster, and they seemed much too low.  Come to find out, the totals for the img are wrong.  I downloaded your raster, and observed the same results. Use the copy raster tool to copy to a grid.  You will see the cell count totals for the grid are much lower than the original img.  Use copy raster again to copy the grid back to an img.  The new img has the same cell count totals as the grid.  We hypothesize that there is some corrupted state an img can exist in, such that ArcGIS cannot properly count the cell totals, but it can still properly convert to different raster types. ...
