No "Thumbnails" View?  ?

OK, I've labored long enough with the fundamentals... now I want to see if I can have some fun with this thing...
I just plugged in an SD card reader (none built in... bummer) and loaded in a card with some photos I took this afternoon with my Nikon D80. The card shows up, no prob (well, I did have to look for it) and I opened a the folder with the photos. Now I would like to see them in the folder.
On a Windows machine that's "thumbnails" view. But "thumbnails" is not one of the view options that I can find here on the Mac.
So, is there a "thumbnails" option somewhere else that I just haven't quite latched on to?
Gonna see what's up with iPhoto next...
Thanks,
--PS

PS,
If what you want is viewing of photos, you need to get them into iPhoto. I know why you want what you describe, now that you have given a little more detail. What I suggest is that you try to adapt a bit. Once you do, I think you will find the tools that are now available to you are much more powerful than what you are used to. Just adapt a bit.
Use the Finder's "Slideshow" ability to filter what gets placed in iPhoto. Do this once with a batch of photos, then burn the originals to a data CD/DVD (label it, then put it away). TIP: When you close the slideshow, iPhoto will come to the front, then import all of the photos you selected to "send to iPhoto." Trouble is, these photos all get placed one-to-a-roll in iPhoto. No problem: simply select the bunch (click the first, find the last, then hold SHIFT and click it), then choose File>Create Film Roll.
Once you have your good photos in iPhoto, the sky's the limit. The key, here, is that you will always use iPhoto to handle, view, and manage your photos, not the Finder.
Alternatively, of course, you can just directly import into iPhoto from the camera or card every time, thereby leaving the Finder out of the equation entirely. iPhoto is designed for management of photos, and it usually does a much better job than you can ever do manually.

  • In Photoshop Express, cannot sort images in album by filename in thumbnail view (for slideshow)l.

    In Photoshop Express, I want images to appear sorted by filename.  In the "view as a table" it sorts fine.  When I revert to the thumbnail view, the arrangement is random.  The dropdown "show" list does not offer an option for showing by filename.  If I select the"custom" option, it means I would need to sort 300 images by filename MANUALLY (!!!), a job that a computer does in milliseconds.  Anyone with a solution?  Thanks.

    fwiw, with my images in the 'Folder Location' view the photos are in order by their Windows filename. That is the same order as the hardcopy album the photos came from. So I then created a PSE Album. I selected all my photos and moved them into that album. The order of the pictures was retained in the Album. That worked out great. I wanted my PSE images to be in the same order. I thought I would do it with tags. But creating an album seems to work just fine.

  • How do I move page order in Thumbnails view in the new pages? (which is driving me nuts btw)

    I'm really struggling with the new pages, having used the old version so much I just can't get the hang of this one - so much has changed:( Really wish I hadn't bothered but now have too many documents created in it that I can't open on old version as it doesn't let you (mump mump - well I am scottish).
    So in the old version I used thumbnail view to move about the order of the pages (really useful when making up artwork for magazines etc). Anyone know how to do it on the new version?
    Also can't seem to view document in '2 up' - 2 pages side by side (also very handy for magazines etc).
    Also the tables facility doesn't let you move borders of individual cells - you can only move the whole column - I can't even select them.
    I could go on but will go before I start the 'pages shake'.

    Hilary,
    Scottish or not, your best option is to retreat to the last good version of the app, Pages '09.
    Cut your losses.

  • Why can I no longer copy and paste a page in the thumbnails view?

    We used to be able to copy and paste, even edit the order of the pages in thumbnail view. Why has ALL of this functionality been removed?! Or is there some special way to do it now that isn't as intuitive?

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 has had 90+ features removed and a load of bugs added.
    Any sensible user will just say "Pass!"

  • New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before?

    New Pages no longer allows SECTIONS (in thumbnail view window) to be re-arranged like before? You could drag and drop sections within your document the same way you could drag and drop pages in Preview's PDF documents. So how do you re-arrnage your document now?
    ALSO
    You used to be able to duplicate/copy a section/page by draging it with OPTION-LEFT-CLICK to a space below or above in the thumbnial window. The same way it works in PREVIEW in a PDF document. Did I miss something or is this also a bug?!
    These were extremely helpful to me and I hope many others. Can anyone help!?
    Thanks :-)

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

  • How to get thumbnail view in File-Open

    When I go to File-Open I would like my directories to come up in thumbnail view right away, instead of having to click on the View icon and then on Thumbnails. Is there any way to make this view the default?

    No, I gave you bad advice -- relied on something I had heard without
    checking it myself -- sorry. I've now done some checking, and there
    doesn't appear to be any way to do what you want. What I do is open My
    Pictures, which I've configured for Thumbnail View, and then drag and
    drop into PSE.

  • Scroll bar stuck on Thumbnail view

    Whenever I am using the scroll bar to scroll in the thumbnail
    view ,which is set to large, the scroll bar gets stuck. When I
    place my mouse on the bar and move it up and down it does not stop
    and jumps to different places in the thumbnail view - I can't seem
    to control it. I have tried turning on the libary and clicking
    around in it, but this does not fix the problem. The only solution
    I have found is to shut Captivate 2 down and start it again. Any
    suggestions?

    Hello queenlooners,
    I spoke with some of my colleagues and unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to disable the scroll bar. There have been other discussions on the forums such as overlaying the scroll bar or embedding it in a sub-panel.

  • How can i see the previews of a folder's images from the Thumbnail View?

    I mean, in windows XP if you set the Thumbnail View, inside the icon of the folder you can see the preview of the images inside ( like this http://mowd.idv.tw/LonghornPDC/folder_preview.JPG )...
    Is there a way to do it on Mac OS X? Maybe some plug-in, some file manager: anything...i often have to check out thousands of photos to find the reference for an illustration, and it's pretty frustrating having to open up every folder...
    Thanks in advance
    iMac 24"   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    but none of these two options allows me to see a folder's images BEFORE opening it...
    You want to go back and try that again... just right click on the folder - you don't have to open it - and choose 'Show In PicturePopPro2'.
    Check out the icons on the menu bar - you can get a contact sheet view, move from shot to shot using the arrow keys... it'll do what you want.
    Regards

  • When I open a new tab, I want to see a thumbnail view of few recent pages. How to set that?

    My friend uses Google Chrome browser, and when he openes a new tab he can see on it a thumbnail view of 6 or 8 recent visited pages. Vith a simple click on each of them he can revisit that pages.
    I do not want to change my default browser (Firefox) but want to have that option.

    There are several add-ons that allow you to do this, such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL].

  • Thumbnail view to Develop view... can I?

    Hey all,
    I must admit I am mystified by Lightroom's UI. But I am learning, slowly.
    One thing I have not yet figured out is how to get efficiently from the thumbnail view to the edit ("Develop") views. So I am constantly switching. All day long I go:
    1 - GO TO LIBRARY
    2 - SELECT THUMBNAILS
    3 - FIND THE IMAGE
    4 - GO TO DEVELOP
    5 - Do my thing (mainly crop and straighten)
    6 - GO TO 1
    This seems a lot of extra clicks. I would just like spend my time in one environment where I can do what I need, not constantly having to switch (twice for each image) from Library to Develop. Is there any way to do this? Is there a better workflow that I am missing?
    I need the thumbnail view becasue I find the long ribbon useless. I come back with 400 pictures froma shoot and scrolling left and right in that ribbon is worse than useless: I get lost and it takes me more time that not doing it at all.
    I am sure I am missing better ways to work. Any input appreciated.
    Michael

    Cmd/Ctrl+F11 opens the second display window, which can be configured to show a Grid view. Clicking on a thumbnail in the second window opens that photo into Develop module.

  • Thumbnail view crashing FCP -- Kona3 the problem?

    For larger projects, running bins in thumbnail view crashes FCP.
    Most of the time, I'm editing 6 to 8 min. stories for a news magazine format show. We shoot on Sony XDCAM, so usually 2 or 3 disks per project (roughly 44 mins of HD viddy per disk, with anywhere from 20 to 120 individual clips on the disk).
    However, for our documentaries (either 26 mins or 56mins) we shoot between 30 to 45 disks full of content. When importing the disks into FCP7, we use a bin per disc, translating into an average of 80 clips per bin. Whenever a project is this big, I can only open 3 or so bins in thumbnail view. After that, the system crashes. Even if I only keep one bin open at a time, by that fourth bin, the system crashes.
    We are using a KONA3 card configuration.
    Anyone else seen this?

    PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (NOT SOLVED):
    I've had this problem with thumbnail images crashing FCP after opening bins for over a year now and when going back using footage from old projects it happens more frequently. I can open 2-4 bins before it will crash FCP completely.
    TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE PAST:
    - Dumped Prefs
    - Re-installed FCP
    - Formatted & Re-installed EVERYTHING (OSX included)
    - Increased thumbnail cache size
    - Created new projects & bins, etc.
    CONCLUSION:
    None of the above troubleshooting strategies worked. Increasing the thumbnail cache size may appear to work a little but problem persists with little improvement.
    HOW I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM:
    Only recently have I been working with other formats aside from XDCAM. I've recently incorporated more ProRes files into my most recent project of T2i footage from the Canon DSLR camera. If I open a bin and display thumbnails of the ProRes video clips everything works without a problem. Loading thumbnail bins with the raw .mp4 files also works fine. Only loading XDCAM files will cause FCP to crash. The problem has nothing to do with the Kona card. If you read the posts carefully here and elsewhere you will see the common denominator is the XDCAM encoded video files being displayed as thumbnail icons.
    I am using XDCAM EX files at 1080p 30fps. To further isolate this problem as something having to do with the XDCAM files, another user posted on another thread:
    *"I am having similar issues with two separate projects. The only commonality between them is XDCam.*
    *To possibly isolate it I reinstalled FCP on one system, and installed latest Blackmagic driver on the the same. Both systems are up to date visa vi OS, FCP, and QT.*
    *Both still crash with the same regularity as described here."*
    Apple, this problem has persisted for more than two years and is a major problem. Just search the forums including this one. Any further upgrades of Final Cut Studio or OS X are worthless until this problem is fixed. A brand new body and interior won't fix a car with a broken engine. Please help!! Please solve this issue with the XDCAM footage in FCP!
    If anyone has any solutions or work arounds please notify me. I need it!

  • How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

    Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
    Any Suggestions Please 

    Hey Mike,
    Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
    Hey Kukdai,
    Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
    support.
    Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well.  Here is the linK:

  • Thumbnail view of local network .pdf files on iPad?

    Problem: I have about 250+ Lego Building Instructions saved on my MacPro.  My kids like to rebuild the sets and I'm looking for a way to view these form our iPads WITHOUT me having to sync them. 
    Is there any app that offers a visual/thumbnail view of local network pdf files?
    I'm aware that I could upload them all to Dropbox, but even then I was not able to find a visual view in the Dropbox app.  And, since there is no need to go up to a cloud I'd like to avoid that step.
    I would rather not have them even kept on the iPads but rather just have the iPads view the copy from my hard drive and then trash it on close off said magical app.
    Any suggestions?

    no one?  nothing?  anyone?  anything?
