About thumbnail preview

Before the update to AR DC was very confortable to select the file just I need, nut now with Adobe Reader DC is impossible because the file show icon in order thumbnail. Looking for this problem I finded that thumbnail feature was removed for technical affairs. Then, Does Adobe research go as the crab? I may not believe an important item may dissapear. Is the solution back again to Adobe XI?, then Where do I download this?

Hi juanm39288900,
I am sorry for the trouble caused to you, however the thumbnail preview functionality from Acrobat and Reader DC has been removed for technical reasons.
We know there are users who value it but certain design considerations forced us to make this change. However you could preview the file in the right preview pane in the explorer window.
This has been reported by other users as well. I will give your feedback to the concerned team and hopefully they would do something about it.
If you still really wish to uninstall Acrobat DC and go back to Acrobat Pro XI, then you might need to refer the KB doc link mentioned here: Acrobat DC uninstalled Acrobat XI | How to get Acrobat XI back
In case if you still have any query or experience any issue please let us know. We will be happy to help you.
Regards,

Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

Hello,
I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
Please help! Thank you in advance.

To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.

(SOLVED) Taskbar thumbnail preview disappears quickly

I have windows 7 RC on my laptop, Dell 1501.
When I start one or more programs from the taskbar and hover my mouse pointer on them I can see thumbnail previews.
The problem is that thumbnail previews disappear too quickly even though my mouse pointer is still on the opened program in taskbar.
I have to move my mouse so I can get another quick preview.
I notice that if I click on an empty space on the taskbar with the left mouse button, and then point to an opened program the thumbnail preview stays for as long as my mouse pointer is on the program.
Does anybody have that problem?
EDIT:
I notice something else,
if I open regedit or computer management and one of them is active, all other opened programs on the taskbar have long thumbnail preview.
But if for example windows explorer is the active window on taskbar, thumbnail previews stay for a short time.
SOLUTION: dell 1501 specific and may be bios version
1. shut down the laptop
2. remove the power supply and the battery
3. press and hold the power button (I pressed it 2-3 times and kept it pressed for about 1 second) --- obviously the laptop will not start.
4. plug in the battery and the power supply, start the laptop and check if the problem is gone.

teeqeela: "I can't believe it! Same dell, same problem, same solution. Thanks man!"
If that was for me, my pleasure.
Noel Carboni: "I'd be curious to know whether you've found the reason it was happening"
I'm curious about the reason, but not prepared to spend the time to find it; I don't think we'd learn enough from it to justify the time. Back pre-Windows pre-Internet I spent weeks painfully debugging. It's
hugely more complicated now, the Internet finds most things quickly anyway, and the tedious tracing doesn't bring many useful insights. I can't give answers, I'll just repeat the facts - any proposed answer must address them. Some details in the numbered points
I made a few messages back. The problem first manifested (for me, and I believe for others) some months after installing Win7 on Inspiron 1501 (specifically that machine). It's cleared by removing all power, and by a couple of software tricks (disable gadgets,
registry hack). Once cleared by power removal, it stays clear for weeks (not months) then recurs (don't yet know how permanent other fixes will turn out to be). One thinks of things such as some bit in system memory that gets set somehow, and never reset until
power is removed (it might be a memory location always alive and watching for a wake-on-lan or other wakeup event), which Win8 expects to find reset. But why the month's delay? Win7 (32- and 64-bit) works fine on Inspiron 1501, but is not officially supported,
and some non-Dell drivers must be used; they work fine. I could go on till the cows come home, but I've got myself a usable machine, and told others about it, so that's it.
HTH,

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.

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.

I would like the ability to save a thumbnail preview for use by the OS on image export.

Hello,
I have been using Lightroom for about three years and one of the many features I would like to see is the ability to save a thumbnail for the image while exporting an image. This is an option available in other leading software, and also happens when you save an image in Photoshop. It isn't a huge issue when using a Mac because you have the option for the finder to force an image preview. It is however an issue when your client uses Windows since the OS doesn't allow the user to force a thumbnail preview.
The client is king, especially with the economy and market the way that it is. If the client wants thumbnails on their images in their OS, the photographer needs to be able to deliver. I don't expect myself or any other photographer to have to open files in Photoshop and save them to force a thumbnail for the image.
This software is in no way as expensive as Photoshop and it does have amazing features, but it is also not cheap and is intended for working professionals.

Your original links were ok, two JPGs and one PNG. BTW,the resizing wasn't necessary because the warning about it is only for viewing the photo in the message. You can always click on the photo and see the full-sized version, as long as it doesn't exceed the filesize limit, of course.
On my Windows 7, both JPGs show a Windows Picture Viewer program icon when set to the default settings, and both JPGs show a thumbnail icon when the icon-size is increased. This is a function of Windows, not the contents of the files, as far as I can tell.
No thumbnail Icons using the default view:
Thumbnail icons when switching to the next larger sized icons:
On the Mac the two images act differently, but you're asking for Mac-specific things to occur, and Adobe may choose to not do it based on it not being different on Windows.
For what Windows scenario does the PS-saved JPG show a thumbnail-icon instead of a program-icon when the LR-saved one shows only the program icon. I'm not asking about the Mac where your screenshot shows the difference, I'm asking about Windows. Is it only when you e-mail pictures or is it on the customer's hard-drive, somehow, and what is the customer using the view the images?

Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews

I have just noticed a problem that I have not encountered until I upgraded to 3.3. After I export my images as jpegs, the thumbnail previews are not complete for a few of the files. I get about two corrupt thumbnails in Windows Explorer out of 100 exported images. Here is a screenshot showing what they look like.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1426292/Capture.JPG
The images are fine when I open the files, but the previews are not complete. I would like to fix it so my clients don't get "broken" thumbnail views. Has anyone else seen this problem? Suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.

Re: Lightroom 3.3 Corrupt Thumbnail Previews
LR 3.3 and PS 4 ext. The original was a camera phone jpeg.
No, I have only VERY rarely had this happen. I don't use this workflow. I was trouble shooting an issue for someone that is having a problem. I was quite surprised to see it happen. The computer is an i7 running Vista 64.
Your fix would require ALL previews to be rebuilt. I have a catalog of over 80,000 images. I don't see that as a reasonable fix. If it was a problem, I'd rather try deleting image from catalog and then sync the folder again and see if that fixed it. No need to trash a bunch of good previews for one bad apple. : ) especially since it's just a test jpeg image. I suspect a read/write time with image size and such playing a role.

My thumbnail previews are all horizontal in bridge

All of my thumbnail previews are horizontal in bridge - this is a new problem. I'm using CS5. Previously they were previewing just fine. If I go through each folder and reapply my metadata, the previews correct themselves, but I shouldn't have to do this every time I use bridge. I've searched through preferences and can't find a solution. Any ideas?

I don't really know anything about cache management in Bridge.
Let it be some comfort to you that almost everybody (including me) can say the same...
Maybe I'm just using it much more than I used to.
That should not matter but unfortunately it seems related. Compared to Tai Lao I seem to have very clean work because I don't need to wash my hands that often but it is a fact that Cache is still not easy to manage.
Luckily each new version seems to handle cache in a better way but I have to admit that every now and then I also start with a fresh empty cache folder to avoid problems. In CS3 this was about every 4 to 6 weeks but in CS5 I only do it a few times a year depending on the size the cache file has grown.
I use cache a lot and mostly the size of my cache file is 25 GB +. Every now and then I use Compact Cache. Just tried it again and the current 43 GB size was reduced to 29 GB but that is still a lot of space. Hence some 'spring cleaning' every now and then.

Finder thumbnail previews stop displaying after a bit.

My co-worker and I both have 27" iMacs running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. We have tons of image files (many are .eps) that we go though to grab clip art from during the day. We generally rely on looking at the preview of these, however the thumbnail preview in icon view stops displaying images after looking scrolling through for a bit. I usually can't generate any more thumbnail previews after about a third of my work day is over, making it difficult to see which images to choose. Quick Look still works though. Any ideas? (And yes, I do have "Show Icon Preview" checked in the finder's view options.)

Best I can think of is that some cache is filling up, or getting so large Finder is having difficulty managing it.
You might run Disk Utility to see if there's any problems with the hard drive.
Are both Macs doing this? Do they have separate hard drives for these files, or are you sharing a drive, like a network drive?
How full is the hard drive?
I tried opening and closing folder after folder of image files (ones with thumbnails) while Activity Monitor was up and running, and Finder uses more and more memory the more folders I opened; closing them did not fully return the memory usage to a pre-opening level. Seemed to be a steady growth in Finder's memory usage as more and more such folders were opened and closed.

Thumbnail Previews keep re-resolving

Hi,
When I'm in the Library module, each time I page down (or up), I have to wait a second or two for the thumbnails to resolve. How do I get all the thumbnail previews to resolve and stay that way so I can page through them quickly?
Thanks,
AJ

This is exactly the problem. How can this be "by design"? There's an option to render all Preview images at 1:1 during import. Why doesn't this render all the Thumbnails too?
The previews and thumbs are rendered, but the thumbnails are initially shown fuzzy to denote that Lr is working in the background to check that they're still fresh (i.e. up to date). You'll likely see 3 white dots on top right corner of thumbs at the same time which denotes that Lr checking that the metadata is up to date. These can take a little while to disappear. Usually, the fuzzy thumb is only present when you scroll the thumbs into the content window for the first time after starting Lr.
It's incredibly annoying to have to pause on each page of preview images while they resolve when trying to browse through hundreds of images quickly.
Yes it's annoying and yes folk have complained about it before, but neither changes the fact that what you are seeing is by design. Whether it continues to be is another matter.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Disable thumbnail preview in PDF file icons on Desktop

After upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9, the file icons of PDF files on my Windows 7 desktop changed to showing a thumbnail preview. I want to get the standard PDF file icon back for all PDF files. Can someone please tell me how?
Thanks.

Did you ever find an answer for this??? I had the same issue and was searching for an answer. I saw this and since I fixed mine I thought I would tell you what I did. Also, in case someone else finds this and needs an answer.
Opened Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options
Go to the View tab
Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
Hit Apply
All your PDF files on your desktop should now show with the generic PDF icon.
Reverse this to get the preview icon "thumbnails".

Display thumbnail preview for images in a Document Set

I have a Document Set with Images in it. I would like to show a thumbnail preview of the images in the view of the files in the document library. I added the Thumbnail Preview column but it just shows a large File Icon.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display the picture of the images in the document set.
I recommend to create a hyperlink type column and format URL as picture to show the images in documents set.
Thanks,
Victoria

Zoom the images in asset library thumbnail preview column in display form

Hi,
I have a requirement is:
i have an asset library with 1000 of images and on search of it in the results page, we customized to display the thumbnail preview of that image with title link which links to display form. in the search results on click of thumbnail image it will zoomin.
we need to have the same functionality on display form also. how to achieve it?
Aruna

How are you doing this?
If you delete in iPhoto and empty the iPhoto trash then all versions of the photo are gone
If you use the finder to delete photos then you trash your iPhoto library and will ahve to start over
As to faces - that is not an option so all iPhoto users have face thumbnails
And it is very strongly recommended that you simply stay out of the iPhoto library - there are NO user servicable [parts in it and going into it endangers your photos and other data

Thumbnails & Preview filenames do not match Master filename

Hi - can't find any threads regarding this...
Basic problem is that Aperture is not renaming the Preview & Thumbnail filenames when it renames images on import - anyone else experiencing this problem?
I have a managed Aperture Library (2.1.3). I rename my image files on import using the Import dialogue set to Custom Name & Counter and Apply to Master filename checked. However the Preview file, the Thumbnail file and the Finder folder holding the images do not get renamed.
Since the Media Browser uses the Preview files rather than the Master files when importing images into other apps (eg. Pages or uploading to a blog) the files used all have the wrong names.
For Instance:
I have a canon image file named IMG1234.JPG.
I import this file to Aperture and use the import dialogue to rename to Custom Name SUNSETNEVADA.JPG (with apply to Master Filename checked).
In Aperture what I see in my project is SUNSETNEVADA.JPG as the Version Name and the Master filename - as expected.
However the Thumbnail & Preview files are still called IMG1234.JPG - you can't see this directly from within Aperture you need to open Finder and drill down thru the Library package where you find that your Master file is called SUNSETNEVADA.JPG but it lives in a folder called IMG1234.JPG with a Thumbnail file called IMG1234.JPG and a Preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
I then open Pages and open the Media Browser.
I select Photos, and then my Aperture library, find my project and select SUNSETNEVADA.JPG.
The file that gets imported into Pages is the preview file called IMG1234.JPG.
The same happens in any situation where I use the Media Browser to browse the Apertuer library and import images, because the Media Browser always uses the Preview file.
The only work around I have is to export images directly from Aperture and then browse the Finder to import them to other apps - avoiding the Media Browser and Preview files altogether.
I have notified Apple Pro Support who claimed to be unaware of this error.
If you have seen the same problem please notify Apple Support.
Any thoughts or solutions welcome. Thanks

I am seeing the same thing, as I have lost all my masters and can only get my pics by copying preview files, which all have the old names.

Upgrade to 2013 leaves "Images" library without Thumbnail Preview working

The issue I am seeing is occurring after an update from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013. The library is a publishing library created in 2010. These features are enabled in 2013. Looking at the "Thumbnail Preview" column in any view shows the
generic sheet of paper icon. Viewing the images in the "Thumbnail" view shows the thumbnails correctly. The images for the list in question are all .gif. As far as I know those are the only ones failing, but we could have missed some other filetypes.
I've tried moving a document to a newly created Images library and the preview shows as expected. So I believe I've pretty easily demonstrated that the actual image is not a problem and that SharePoint 2013 can render it. However, it's not a workable solution
to move these files.
If I open the library with Fiddler, I get a 404 error for 256_icgif.gif. From there it's been sort of a dead end as I wouldn't know where to test and see if that's part of the issue.
This is our dev environment before upgrading to 2013 so we're looking for a fix we can perform during or before the upgrade.
Thanks!

Hi Christopher,
Casting my mind back to the Beta, I hit something similar during a test upgrade and if I remember rightly it was to do with the content type mappings that came across. There are two content types Picture and Image which behave differently, so try swapping
the available content types in the library and changing that.
Paul
