TIF thumbnail incorrect in Windows Explorer (PSE 7 and 8)

Sometimes when I save a TIF file (with “Discard Layers and Save a Copy” selected) the thumbnail shown in Windows Explorer is incorrect.
The thumbnail appears to show only one layer from the PSD I have been working on, even if that layer no longer exists because it has been deleted or the image has been flattened.
I have experienced this problem in Elements 7 and 8, and on a machine with a fresh install of Windows XP and Elements 8.
Is anyone else having this problem?

Lol.  Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years.  Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity.  Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed.  Then came Acrobat 9.   And now "X".  Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

  • PDF Thumbnail view in windows explorer

    Hi guys, hope you can give me a hand! I`m about to lose my mind here.
    I have 4 machines with adobe reader 8.1 installed and in those 4 machines I can see my pdf files as thumnails (they´re books, so I see the cover of each one of them). On my 5th computer not only have I adobe reader 8.1 installed but Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. But when I select thumbnail view in windows explorer it just does not work.
    I`ve tried changing the default program to open pdf files but again all I see it´s a thumbnail alright but it only displays the adobe logo not the first page of the pdf file.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance!
    Martin

  • AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer

    Does anyone at Adobe think it might be a good idea to enable AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer again, uh, I mean, we're GRAPHICS DESIGNERS, and we, uh, need to browse IMAGE FILES in AI and PS. I know there are $19.95 third-party apps out there, but we're paying good money (thousands of $ over the next few decades) to get the BEST SOFTWARE ON EARTH, neh? I thought my brand new Windows 7 machine was bro-ken when all I saw was dumb-icons boo...

  • Thumbnail previews in Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64bit)

    Is there a way to enable thumbnail previews under Windows Explorer for Acrobat X Pro? I just installed the trial and these are missing.
    I know there was a bug in Acrobat 9 which required a third party hack to fix. I had hoped by now this would work correctly. Has this still not been fixed?
    Thanks.

  • How do I view an FTP site in Windows Explorer for drag and drop file upload in Firefox?

    In Internet Explorer you have the drop-down menu option called '''"Page"''' (located below the address bar, on the right-hand side). In the options listed you can''''' "Open FTP side in Windows Explorer"'''''.
    I cannot seem to locate a similar option within Firefox 4.0.
    Guidance and suggestions welcome. Thanks.

    Hi,
    Did you use system restore to go back to a time when everything worked fine? How was the result?
    I suspect it caused by some third-party software conflict. Please perform a clean boot to find out the culprit:

  • Issue with Windows Explorer search function and network shares.

    Hello all,
    I hope all is well, I am having a very odd issue.
    One user when they access a particular network drive, and try to use the explorer search function it prompts the following error 
    Runtime error
    Program:
    This application has requested the runtime to terminate in a unusual way. Please contact application team for support.
    I have checked the event viewer on both the user machine and server hosting the share, not events show up regarding the issue.
    I have tried with the user machine in safe mode with networking, and the issue still occurs
    It of course is not telling which application or program is causing this.
    I have confirmed all windows updates are up to date. 
    I have gone to the windows search in services and swapped the 1 for a 0, that opened up three of the four network drives for search
    the last one is still causing this error.
    User computer is windows 7 professional 64 bit
    server is windows server 2012 64 bit.
    I am at a total loss as to why this is happening on two machines out of ten.
    any help or suggestions would be most appreciated.
    Cheers
    Josh

    Hi Josh,
    What operation did the user act and how to use the explorer search function to cause the issue? Please check if the issue still exists after the user does the same action locally.
    You could refer to the thread below to troubleshoot the issue:

  • To unpack an llb in Windows Explorer, right-click and choose from "Unpack" options (like WinZip...)

    Greetings,
          To unpack an LLB in Windows Explorer, it would be convenient to right-click on the LLB and have an option to Unpack to current directory.  WinZip does this (for .zip files) via "Extract" options.
    Then again, people may prefer using the "LLB Manager"(?)

  • RAW Thumbnails in Windows Explorer?

    I had this problem when I first got my Nikon D40x in June, I couldn't see thumbnails in my Windows Explorer. Then one day during the summer, on its own it seems, I was able to see thumbs, and its been that way until recently when I had to reinstall XP. Now i can't see them anymore.
    What do I need to do to be able to see thumbnails of my RAW images again in Windows Explorer?
    I'm using Photoshop CS3. And I've installed the newest Camera RAW plug-in.
    Thanks

    > What do I need to do to be able to see thumbnails of my RAW images again in Windows Explorer?
    That would be available from Microsoft. I believe they call it a codec (for whatever reason), and if you search MS for "raw code" a lot of info comes up .. including:

  • Lightroom watermarks not showing up in Windows explorer.

    Quick question for everybody. I imagine there's an easy solution for it, I just haven't been able to figure it out.
    The company I work for needs to manage and watermark many different types of photos (perfect for Lightroom.)  The only problem is, when Im uploading photos to our website, the Lightroom watermarks dont show up in the thumbnail preview of Windows Explorer. When I right click the image thumbnail and select "preview" the full size image preview pops up with the watermark. I guess my question is, is there any way to get the Lightroom watermarks to show up when viewing files in Explorer in large thumbnail view? It would save my a lot of time and frustration.
    Thanks ahead of time!

    Im including this image in case I did a terrible job of explaining my problem.

  • How Do I Preview QT Mpeg4 Video in Windows Explorer?

    I have tried everything I can to try to get QuickTime videos to be viewed at thumbnails in Windows Explorer, but only Windows AVI and DIVX videos will be previewed as thumbnails.
    I tried these things:
    1. Installed QuickTime 7.6.2.14.0 updated this week
    2. Installed the K-Lite Codec Pack Basic
    and selected to enable thumbnail previews for all video types
    http://www.codecguide.com/about_kl.htm
    3. Searched the web for ideas.
    I even tried this command: regsvr32 shmedia.dll
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/03/17/how-to-enable-or-disable-media-and-vide o-thumbnail-preview-in-windows-xp/
    http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/03/17/how-to-turn-off-image-preview-thumbnail -and-disable-windows-picture-and-fax-viewer-in-windows-xp/
    4. Tried rebooting several times.
    5. Looked through ''Folder Options'' and reset to defaults.
    6. I tried installing this freeware that enables FLV (flash) videos to be previewed in Windows Explorer hoping it would "kick start" whatever the problem is.
    http://www.swf-kit.com/swfpreview.html
    7. I tried looking for "Web View" under Folder Options to enable it, but
    it is nowhere to be found under Windows XP SP3.
    8. I tried re-saving the MPEG4 (mp4 extension) as a QuickTime Movie and then exporting the video "for the web" in the three ipod/iphone/Desktop formats and that did not work either. They do not get previewed under Thumbnail view.
    I am at a loss what else to try.
    Thanks for any suggestion.

    Here is how I resolved this problem and now ALL video files show thumbnail previews inside Windows Explorer.
    1. I uninstalled K-Lite Codec Pack
    2. I rebooted Windows XP (SP3)
    3. I installed the XVID codec version 1.2.1 from http://www.koepi.info/xvid.html
    4. I rebooted Windows XP
    5. I installed the K-Lite codec pack (basic edition)
    6. Since I already had XVID and DIVX (from Divx.com) installed,
    I unchecked XVID and DIVX under the DirectShow Video Decoding Filters.
    7. I activated H264 and chose "ffdshow" instead of "(use system default)"
    8. I created file associations for use with Windows Media Player, allowing the defaults to be selected automatically.
    9. I left QuickTime (mov) unchecked for the file associations.
    10. I turned on thumbnail generation for all file types.
    I finished installing K-Lite Basic and then rebooted Windows XP.
    When I opened "My Videos" Folder I saw video thumbnails of all my Mpeg4 QuickTime movies.

  • Windows Explorer Plug-In Set-Up for BeehiveOnline with External Resources

    I have watched the video on the Window Explorer Plug-In and trying to set-up so that multiple individuals can easily access files that are uploaded and make changes by checking in and out. Problem is that I do not see the Beehive Sites when I open the Oracle Beehive Extensions for Explorer. Do the Beehive Online sites with external resources use a different server name? I am logging in using the stbeehive.oracle.com Server.

    Hi.
    Yes, BeehiveOnline is a completely separate system so you will have to set up the account on BeehiveOnline as well as stbeehive. The limitations of the Microsoft approach is that the OBEE required one connection at a time so you will have to disconnect and reconnect to see the other server. OBEE gives you more control than normal WebDAV access but it has its limitations. If you use the Desktop Integration Server or a webDAv setup you can have both servers visible in the Explorer window and drag and drop easily between them .

  • Photo problems and can i drag and drop files using windows explorer?

    i can only sync photos frm my com to my touch but i cant choose which photos i want and i tried searching for the files in itunes and i cant find them, thus cant delete them...
    on top of that, i can access the files in my touch but cant find any option to delete them...
    when i go the photos tab in itunes, it only shows me the window to sync files and the 2nd question too...
    because when i drag and drop on itunes, it's quite laggy...and if i use windows explorer to drag and drop, will the duplicates on my playlist appear as 2 files or will it be like itunes where it can detect the main file and simply adds it to the list?
    thank you...
    sorry for the wall of text...

    There's no manual mode for photos just different ways to sync but here's a simple "How To" on managing your photos so that it's easy to add and delete what you want on the iPod:
    1 Create a folder on your hard drive to hold the photos you want on your iPod. Call it iPod Photos for example
    2 Drag the photos you want from your usual picture folder into the folder you just created
    2 Open iTunes, select your iPod in the iTunes Source list.
    3 Click the Photos tab and select “Synch photos from.”
    4 Choose “Choose Folder” from the pop-up menu and select the iPod photos folder you created.
    5 When you want to change what photos are on the iPod just add or remove the photos from the folder you have made and syncronise the the iPod
    You can't drag photos or music to the iPod from Windows Explorer, you have to add content through iTunes or you'll not be able to view or play it.

  • Tags from 'Comments' field in Windows Explorer don't show up in iTunes

    I have thousand of files where I allready put tags directly in the comments field in the files proberties in Windows Explorer, but the tags don't show up in iTunes comments field?
    I can then manually put tags directly in iTunes comments field and they will not show up in the proberties of the files in Windown Explorer!
    So I ask, why on earth aren't those fields (in iTunes and in Windows Explorer) compatible, when all other fields (for example name, artist, year) are compatible?

    Okay, thanks for replies and for your time, but the problem continues.
    First: I've ripped CD's in different ways (before starting to use iTunes). I've used Nero, Windows Media Player, Lame and imported mp3 files directly from the internet. Some files have been through Flash Renamer and TigoTago. After importing the files I've tagged them with comments and other stuff directly in Windows Explorer. And then I decided to use iTunes because of buying iPods and playing music through AirPort Express.
    What I've tried to right now:
    I've tried to check files with MP3Val, but it said the files were OK.
    Then I tried - with another laptop - to install I new iTunes program (English language to be sure and there after I imported/ripped a new CD using iTunes to import. Before importing I put a tag in the Comments field in iTunes and it never showed up in Windows Explorer Comment field. I also tried after that to put tags directly in Windows Explorer Comment field and add the files once again to iTunes library, but again, no comments in iTunes. Also again put tags in iTunes, but no tags in Windows Explorer.
    Then I did more or less the same using Realplayer to import the CD, but with the same negative results.
    *Then I went back to my old laptop, imported a CD using iTunes and then tagged the comment field in Windows Explorer and suddenly I got comments in iTunes! But the comments look like this: "00000000 00000210 000008E8 0000000000775908 00000000 0040E5E1 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000".*
    I don't know what to do with this?
    And apparently, it's only when importing new files using iTunes to rip the CD, that this happens. Otherwise, nothing happens at all.
