Adobe Illustrator thumbnail view in a Picture Library?

We are using Adobe Illustrator and we need to see the thumbnails in a picture library. All of the other images work, but not the AI files.
We got the 16x16 icons added for AI for the details view, but we haven't been able to figure out where the thumbnail's are generated from. Searching the internet hasn't worked yet, (must not have the right combination of search words), so I'm hoping
that someone here can offer some suggestions.
If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate hearing it.
Thanks.
Ted

Hi,
According to the description, I know the .al files generated by Adobe Illustrator cannot be displayed in thumbnail view in a SharePoint Picture Library. Please correct me if I misunderstand.
Per Graphic formats that are supported for thumbnail creation in a Windows SharePoint Services picture library
The following graphic formats are supported in a Windows SharePoint Services picture library. You can create thumbnail images of files that use any of the following extensions:
.gif, . jpeg, .jpg, .jpe, .jfif, .xbm, .bmp, .dib, .png, .wmf, .emf, .tif, .tiff

Modifying hover over information in thumbnail view in SharePoint 2013

I am looking for a solution to be able to change hover over information in thumbnail view of the picture library in SharePoint 2013 replacing the Name/Title caption with a different field ( in my case it is "Source ID").
Can any one help me with that?

Hi Paul,
please refer the thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b8fdb57c-2a24-49ba-ae9d-905da3652ebf/modify-thumbnail-view-of-picture-library?forum=sharepointcustomizationlegacy
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\IMGLIB.JS
and saw that InsertItem called the CItem function/constructor, and that the Item object that it was creating had a Caption property. So I changed that property from "this.caption=baseName;" to "this.caption=titleStr;".
After restarting IIS and refreshing my page I was now looking at the Title field instead of the name field in the Thumbnails view of my Picture Library.
Anyway, thanks to all who contributed... i've been working on this problem for a long time and am glad to have finally solved it. Hopefully this post will be helpful to others.

Picture Library jslink BUG

Hello,
I have a picture library with a few pictures. Now I add this library as a web part to a totally blank page. It displays the default thumbnail view perfectly. I haven't changed anything yet. Now all I do is add a jslink to a js file that is on the server.
The thumbnail view of the picture library changes to an 'all pictures' view and NOTHING I do can bring it back. The jslink file has no errors. Even if I comment everything in the file it doesn't show me the thumbnails. As soon as I remove the jslink, the thumbnail
view returns.
PLEASE HELP. I need to customize the look and feel of a picture gallery for a client and this isn't working.
Thanks in advance.
pix.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to customize the look and feel of a picture gallery.
We can use JavaScript Client Object Model or REST API to get the picture data from the picture library, then use jQuery and CSS to achieve your requirement.
Here is an example for your reference:

Is it possible to change DOM of the already existiong Callout for Thumbnail View at Video Asset Library?

To change the layout of the Callout, we can apply custom style to it like the following thread:

Change Thumbnail View of Picture Library to Show Specific Fields

Hi
I am looking for an example to add other fields than Title and Name as in this thread but from other fields in my list ..
Thread
Can anyone supply me with an example ?
Thanks in advance

Erik

Hi Erik,
First of all, you should get item ID using F12 in Thumbnails view, then use JavaScript to retrieve information of list items. Then you could fill in the fields you would like. Here is the reference for retrieving method:

Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

Picture Library : upload image with same name overwrite the image in thumbmail or WebVersion view but not the actual image link points to the old image

Hello,
I am facing a wired issue with Picture Libraries in SharePoint.
We created a custom field and added it to UserInfo list, the column based on custom field lets user upload their personal images to a Picture Library with the name <User ID>.<Image Extension> e.g. 1.jpg where UserID is internal Listitem ID of the UserInfo list and set its URL to the field value which we use to display the image on our custom user profile and some other WebParts.
If the user uploads a different image, it will overwrite the existing one it keeping the same name.
The field worked perfectly with sites using widows Based authentication, but as we move the field to sites with form based authentication we find that the field is able to upload the image properly first time but on each successive upload, although a new image gets uploaded with the name userid.imagextension and is shown in the allitems.aspx page in the thumbnail view and in the picture preview on the dispform.aspx page, but the link next to the name field and the image shown on clicking the preview points to the old image.
To put it other way
https://<Web URL>/Picture%20Library/_w/Upload_jpg.jpg
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/_t/Upload_jpg.jpg
Would show the updated image
but the actual URL
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/Upload.jpg
points to the old image
what’s even more strange is that even after deleting the image the url still shows the old image at
https://<Web Url>/Picture%20Library/Upload.jpg
I confirmed the same by actually repeating the same exercise on a picture Library in the User Interface
Uploading an image say upload.jpeg in the picture library using SharePoint interface.
Then uploading a different jpeg image keeping the same name upload.jpeg again in the picture library.
In allitems.aspx thumbnail view and on dispform.aspx page preview filed image now show the newly uploaded image but when you click the preview image or click the link in the name field value it takes you back to the old image.
I have seen this issue on environment where we have enabled form based authentication and the issue is not seen on another server where we have wss with windows based authentication.
Has anyone noticed such behavior and is there any workaround to that!
Thanks & Regards
Saurabh Rustagi

All,
I had the same issue.
In my case, Blob Cache was enabled for the web application in which the image issue was occuring.
I cleared blob cache, and after doing a hard refresh of my browser, the correct image was then displayed.
To clear blob cache, do the following:
Navigate to:
http://yourwebapp:port/yoursite/_layouts/objectcachesettings.aspx
Select: "Object Cache Flush" and "Force all servers in the farm to flush their object cache" check boxes
Click the OK button
Hope this helps.

Adobe Illustrator CS5 does not show PDF thumbnails when browsing

When I am browsing through PDF files to open one of them in Adobe Illustrator CS5 it does not show the thumbnail. When I am browsing in Adobe Acrobat it does show the thumbnails. If I have Adobe Acrobat open and am browsing through files and the thumbnails are showing then if I open Adobe Illustrator and browse for a file the thumbnail does show up.
How can I get Illustrator to always show the PDF thumbnails. I have to frequently browse through thousands of PDF files and it is imperative that I can see the thumbnail for these PDF files. I primarily use Illustrator to edit PDF files.
The computer is Windows 7 Enterprise 64 bit edition. Thumbnails barely work when browsing files through Explorer. Some thumbnails will show, but not very many of them and it is extremely slow to load the thumbnails that will display.

Bob,
So I am assuming you are talking about viewing the files using this method first:
To use the 32-bit version of Windows Explorer, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type the following in the Open box, and then click OK:
Drive_Letter:\windows\syswow64\explorer.exe /separate
Note The placeholder Drive_Letter represents the drive where the x64-based version of Windows is installed.
Please let me know if I am missing what you are saying here.

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:
http://www.codeplex.com/
Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

I hope that helps!

Lost thumbnail view in iPhoto Library

I've been working on a very large iMovie project which is not going so well and somehow I lost my thumbnail views next to the iPhoto Library Source. I have tried everything, and like when I click on "View" I cannot highlight "show thumbnails". I have researched topics and found one that talks about the Pictures Folder & what folders contain what, and nothing on how to get my thumbnails back. It is almost impossible to organize without them. Help please, I don't know what happened.
Thank You,
Marge

Marge,
In the view menu, "show thumbnails" is only an active option when you are in one of iPhoto's edit modes: it refers to the horizontal strip of thumbnails that can be shown (or hidden) across the top of the iPhoto window. When you are viewing your library or an album, it is normal for this option to be gray.
That being said, what do you see in the iPhoto window? Are any of your photos visible? Do you have blank gray squares? Have you tried using the slider in the bottom right of the window to change the size of the thumbnails (if this is all the way to the right you will only see one photo at a time).
Have you ever used the Finder to change anything in your iPhoto Library folder in any way? (This includes renaming and moving files or folders.) This causes big problems, so if you have, post back with some details and we'll try to help you repair the damage.
If iPhoto is acting quirky you can delete its preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Find it inside Home/ Library/ Preferences. Then when you launch iPhoto your preferences will be reset to their defaults, so you may need to reset them back to your liking.
One more thing to try is a database rebuild. Hold the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 options and let it work. It can take a few minutes. This process allows iPhoto to recreate its database file, which can improve performance and stability if that file was causing problems.
Post back with some of the above info, and we'll go from there.

Problem with scrolling pictures in thumbnail view!!!

In thumbnail view, when I scroll over the key picture, other pictures come up that are pictures NOT from that event, but others. Anyone know why that is and how I fix it so that the correct pictures scroll?
For example, if I have 3 events, when i scroll over the key picture and ther other pictures that come up are those of events 1 and/or 2, along with some from even 3.
Any help would be appreciated

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Lost Thumbnail View of library suddenly!

I was transferring a photo that was misdated as a 2005 photo and when I went to look for it in the 2005 folder, I hit "organize" which usually brings me back to my preferred thumbnail view of all my shots in chronilogical order. Well, they are still in chron order from new to old but only full view is available. I have checked all the options on the toolbar, looked in preferences to see if there was an option to "view thumbnails". NOTHING. Any help?

Hi, Kristin. Your mistake was thinking it would be OK to move anything around inside your iPhoto Library folder. It isn't. Stay out of there at all times. Only iPhoto itself should ever arrange, rearrange, move, edit or rename anything inside that folder, as this quote from iPhoto Help indicates:
"Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder
If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
This is a real annoyance, and it flies in the face of a core principle that all long-time Mac users take for granted: that they're in charge of where things are filed on their computers. But it's a fact, and you ignore it at your peril.
You may be able to regain access to your photo library by rebuilding it. To do so, hold down the Shift and Option keys while you open iPhoto, and click OK when you're asked if you want to rebuild the library.

Yes, you can use the Acrobat SDK and/or the Adobe PDFLibrary for this purpose.

Thumbnails of Adobe Illustrator CS2 have disappeared

I noticed that all of the Adobe Illustrator CS2 thumbnails have turned into just generic icons. This is pretty useless if you have files to browse through and you want to see the thumbnails in Spotlight or Finder. I can see thumbnails in Adobe Bridge, but I prefer using Spotlight.
Photoshop files have their icons, as do all .jpg .tiff and others. Also old AI files that I haven't opened in AI CS2 have their thumbnails as well. But as soon as I open them in AI CS2, the thumbnails are gone forever!!
How can I have the thumbnails back?
What is going on? Is this is another example of "Made for Mac" that is NOT?
Adobe people seem to think that it's an OSX issue, so please OSX wizards don't tell me now that it's an Adobe issue.
Thanks a lot for any help,
Artur

No Illustrator I have ever used, and this goes back to Illustrator 88, has put anything but a generic program icon on any file.
If you have old Illustrator files with icons on them then most likely you were using a third party software to do it and they will be lost as soon as you save it.
This is not something Illustrator has ever done. Try using Thumbnail Pro:

Only $10 and works pretty well.
