Preview can't open all images in multiple selections...is this a bug?

Note: "Open all files in one window" is selected in Preview preferences.
This used to work fine in Leopard. Not complaining, might be a bug, but just want to verify. When I select multiple jpg images and double click, preview tends to open random number of images each time. all of them simply don't open up. Any idea what could be wrong?

Are any of the jpegs downloaded from the Internet? If so, that is the problem. You'll get two Preview windows, one with, say 3 images, the second window with one. Do it again and you get one window with 4 images and the second window with a different additional one. Repeat. It's due to the Apple quarantine bit being set on downloaded files. Until it is removed by individually opening a jpeg you can't batch open all them. See here:

You can open a batch provided you use the Preview Open dialog box, rather than selecting in the Finder.

  • Preview can't open any images

    Hi all,
    Suddenly Preview doesn't work with any images on my computer (stil works fine with PDF). The Preview window is always like this when I try to open any images:
    I had tried to remove all the preference files related to Preview under ~/Library/Preferences/, also used Disk Uitility to repair disk permissions but no luck.
    Can somebody help me? Thanks

    Have you tried starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
    Restart holding the "shift" key.
    (Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
    If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and disable any third party login items. Also look in /Library/Startup Items. Nothing is put in that folder by default, so anything in there is yours.

  • Preview 4.1 - "open all images in one window"

    Dear users,
    Despite checking this button in Preferences, Preview often (not always) will open my images in different windows, as opposed to in one window with a thumbnail pane. This is especially true across file formats. Am I doing something wrong? THANKS!!

    First, put enough images into /Users/Shared to test. Then, create a new account, name it "test" and see how your Preview app works in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.4 Combo Update . This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?

    I would like to open all PDFs on my local MS Windows desktop open in Firefox so I can use tabs.
    How can I open all PDFs on my MS Windows desktop in Firefox?
    I have tried just going to File... Open... <desktop PDF file>, but all I get is funny markup and funny characters, like the following:
    %PDF-1.4 %âãÏÓ 3 0 obj << /Producer (PDF-XChange 3.60.0128 \(Windows XP\)) /CreationDate (D:20110321141052-04'00') >> endobj 5 0 obj << /Type /XObject /Subtype /Image /Width 2551 /Height 3285 /BitsPerComponent 8 /ColorSpace /DeviceGray /Length 500647 /Filter [/FlateDecode /DCTDecode] >> [...]
    I am able to open PDFs from the Internet normally using the Adobe Reader X plugin, but for some reason, it doesn't kick in when I open local PDF files.
    I am using Firefox 4.0.1 and Adobe Reader X.
    Thanks. -Noel

    Do you have any graphics editing software like photoshop or something similar.?
    Surely you can just open both images, resize the image you want to add, then copy and paste it into the main image. Save this as a new file and set it as the background.
    If you need a graphics editing program you can download one called The Gimp for free. Just make sure you have X11 installed.

  • CS6 won't open all images from Windows Explorer

    Hi!
    Today a colleague of mine encountered a strange behaviour with Photoshop CS6 64bit on a Win7-PC (also 64bit), which I could reproduce on a second machine.
    Highlighting severeal jpg-images in a folder and hitting the Enter-key opens
    all images in Photoshop, when Photoshop wasn't running
    only some images (1 - 4 images out of 5) randomly, when Photoshop was already running
    The same effect happens when I use the "Open with..."-command from Windows Explorer on the images.
    Does anyone know this issue?
    Regards
    Dieter

    Normal behavior. Windows only allows a given number of files to be handed over via DDE and that's what happens when a process is already active. When you do this with no program open, it simply blindly fires a standard command with only one file as an argument, but does so for every single file. That's why it works then. Nothing you can change. It's a limitation in Windows itself combined with the fact that only one PS process can be active....

  • Can't open CS2 image with photoshop

    I had this camera, Canon 50d, for little more than two years.
    Now it is time to start working with Raw image and can't open the image with Photoshop.
    But I could open with EOS utility but want to work with Photoshop.
    thanks for reading and advice pleae

    Photoshop CS2 will never directly open a Canon EOS-50D raw file.  The raw files from every camera are different and your camera was designed after the Photoshop CS2 Camera Raw application stopped receiving updates.
    This list is pertinent:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/camera-raw-plug-supported-cameras.html
    That said, there is a free solution that will allow you to open your images indirectly.
    Download and install the latest version of the free Adobe DNG Converter:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5388 (Mac)
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5389 (PC)
    Whenever you have a folder full of raw 50D images run the DNG Converter on the folder to convert all the files to DNG format.  You will have to select the proper compatibility setting.
    You can now open the DNG files with Photoshop CS2's Camera Raw converter.
    Just as an aside, the Camera Raw converter from the latest version of Photoshop delivers images of higher quality, so you may want to consider moving up to Photoshop CS6.  Unfortunately you will have to pay full price; there's no Photoshop CS2 -> CS6 upgrade discount.

  • Preview won't open JPG image on a USB stick.

    Preview won't open 'JPG' images downloaded from a USB stick. I get this message, "The image"IMG_0091.JPG" could not be opened"  It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise.
    I can see the thumbnail, but they won't open. Can I change this in some way? And, no, I can't download them again as I have erased them from the memory card, but they are saved in iphoto. 

    You can try deleting the .plist. Quit Preview first.

  • Can't open RAW images in Photoshop

    I purchased a new computer. It runs 64 bits. I have CS4. Since uploading it to my computer, I can not open RAW images. I have downloaded the most recent updates.
    I have been using the 32 bit photoshop because I could not get my NIK filters to work in 64 bit. But I can't open any of my RAW images.  I can't open them in either 32 or 64 bit.
    I have version 5.0.0.178 of Camera Raw.  I only know this because I can see it under "About filer.... Camera Raw".  I cant find any camera raw filters in adobe/plug-ins in either version of photoshop. I have a huge photoshoot tomorrow. I NEED to open RAW images.  HELP!!  Regular Support is down for the next few days.

    If you look at this list: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407111.html
    You will see you need Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 or later.
    As Chris says, update either maually from here: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4681
    Or use the Updater from PS help.

  • Just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    just got a Nikon D610 and CS5 for Mac can't open the images -- message says installed version of camera raw doesn't support the camera.  Downloaded the Raw 6.2 update for Mac, but installation failed. Now what?

    The D610 didn't get out-of-the-box RAW support until Photoshop CC.
    You can either upgrade to CC or use the DNG Converter to convert and open your DNGs in CS5.

  • Can't Open Bridge Images in Photoshop

    Upgraded Photoshop CS5 to CS6, Windows 7. Uninstalled CS5. Now can't open Bridge images in Photoshop.

    Thanks, problem solved!
    The first thing I did was check the file associations which, indicating “Photoshop”, I assumed was OK.
    But then, motivated by your suggestion, I checked more carefully and found that “Photoshop” was pointing to an earlier version.
    Next I “browsed” and reset the association to the Photoshop CS6 .exe file and now images in Bridge open in Photoshop just like they used to.
