Alias to Image does not display image preview icon (Regression!)

I noticed that an alias to an image no longer displays the underlying image preview in the icon, instead you get the standard "JPEG" icon.
I have turned on icon previews (since other images in the same folder are correctly displayed) and all that. Also if you press Space on the Alias, the fancy Preview window will open and show the correct image. The icon however is dead. I've tested this with many images and with both OS created Aliases and using "ln -s".
This seems to apply to all kinds of alises that in the past would show the icon of their parent, not only images.
The alias "arrow" overlay is enough to inform the user that the file is an alias, there is no need to display the standard "JPEG" icon, that is so passé.
Not very leopardy.

The same thing appears to be a latent bug from Tiger -- I am seeing this in 10.4.11, and as Rob notes, it's not always consistent.
What's worse, Rob's suggestion won't work for me... because the "Select New Original..." button is greyed out! I realize this is technically a Leopard thread, but I can't imagine this was deliberately changed between 10.4 and 10.5, so I would think it would be applicable pretty broadly.
Any ideas or suggestions would be very welcome indeed.
Thanks,

  • Safari on my account does not display images when you open a picture.

    I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 installed. Safari on my account does not display images most of the time when you open a picture like (www.example.com/example/example.jpg or any other format). If the image does not display, I can drag from the corner, it displays the image. However, pdf does not work at all. I have to choose open in Preview to view the pdf file. I can even show the example:
    Sometimes the images work like right now.
    2. This is the time when the images do not work.

    Hi all the real problem was this...
    The issue was that the wee rubber eye piece around the viewfinder had slipped out of its seat slightly and was covering the sensor for the LCD. I Just checked the rubber eye piece bit  pushed right down till it clipped into place and now not obstructing the LCD sensor as the picture displays both with the LCD auto off enabled or disabled !! simple thing but a massive trap !

  • Image does not display have editing

    I'm wondering if anyone is have this issue. On some of pictures after I make an edit (i.e. crop, spot/patch, etc). the image does not display. If I switch to full screen the updated image displays. When I switch back to the browser and viewer mode the image does not display in the viewer.
    This problem certainly makes editing pictures quite difficult.
    Any help would be great!!!
    Here's my system configuration:
    Aperture 2.1
    Mac Pro Dual Core 2.66Ghz
    5GB RAM
    2 x Nvidia GeForce 7300 Graphics Cards
    4 x 24" monitors.

    Karsten, thank you for your response, but the problem still seems to exist. I rebuilt my entire Aperture library then started to generate new previews. The rebuilt library and new previews work fine, however, again if I make an edit to the image and the apply the change the updated image does not display. If I resize the image in the viewer the image appears.
    This seems to be a very weird problem.

  • Bkg image does not display

    A background image shows up in my "container" div in design view (DW CS4), but does not display in preview or Live View.
    What might be preventing the image from displaying?
    Note: bkg colors do display.

    Upload the  test page to your web server and post a URL for us to see.  It could be bad image type, a bad path to the file itself or a half-dozen other things.

  • Image does not display on MacBook Pro (does on PowerBook G4!)

    I created a slide in Keynote on my PowerBook G4 with an image dropped in (a pdf, I can't remember whether it was originally cut and past or dragged and dropped in). When transferring the Keynote presentation to a new macBook Pro (copying via a USB thumb drive), the presentation opens but the image does not display (everything else is OK).
    The weird thing is that the image does show up in the thumbnail in Navigator View. It disappears in Light Table View, and then is gone when I return back to Navigator View. However, when I close and reopen the file, it appears again in the thumbnail.
    When I click on the area where the image should be, the open squares show up around something. If I try to copy this object and past into another application (like Photoshop), I only get a blank image.
    I have managed to get around this by laboriously copying the affected images on my PowerBook into separate pdf files, then transferring those files to my MacBook Pro and dropping them into place. However, I know I will find a missing image at some later date, when I no longer have access to my old PowerBook.
    How to solve this problem?
    P.S. Both machines are running Keynote 4.0.2 and Mac OS 10.5.2.

    Thanks for taking a look!
    The original image was created using Photoshop to cut out an image from a pdf file. Then it was either cut and pasted or dragged into Keynote.
    Here are screenshots of what I get when I open the "droppedimage-17.pict" file (shown in the Show Package Contents window) using QuickTime on both machines. For the PowerBook:
    http://www.cems.umn.edu/download/attachments/Powerbook.png
    For the MacBook Pro:
    http://www.cems.umn.edu/download/attachments/MacBook_Pro.png
    Strangely, the Powerbook version looks like a correct grey-scale image, while the MacBook Pro looks like a B&W image.

  • LR 4 - image does not appear in Preview and will not print`

    The selected image appears on the main/center panel but not in the preview screen.  Printing results in a white sheet of paper with no image at all.  The image has been updated to LR 4 - but made no difference.  I've served help and the forums (where i saw mention of similar problems, but no comments or guidance on the problem).  What am I doing wrong?

    The problem began with the installation of LR4. I print directly from LR4 to my HPZ3100. I routinely select "print preview" in the print dialogue box. Now the first print I see the preview and then it prints. If I select a second print job and use the "print preview" the print preview screen comes up blank and never loads. If I try to delete the print job, it just never responds (resolves) so I have to turn off the computer and the printer and restart to clear the print job. if I don't use the print preview, it prints just fine (except that I'm not able to check what's about to be printed). Thanks for any thoughts you have on this.

    Bill, if this is only happening some of the time, then we are probably looking at a resource issue. Any pattern in when things won't print? e.g. Certain file type won't but others will? Or is it more of a timing/order thing? e.g. First file prints fine, second does not? VStromee, do no files print for you? Or is it like Bill and sometimes the print and other times they do not? Did you install any new software recently or have any updates to the OS or any application that has printing capabilities?

  • The new version of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 does not display images in the flash movie.

    In the new version  of Adobe Flash Player 11.5.502.110 the images are not displayed. In previous versions they are displayed. Tested on several computers. This is not a local problem. This is a problem of Adobe. The bad news is that the early versions are very hard to find and reinstall it.
    Many different systems tested. And all browsers.
    Now there is no big image.

    hi i have noticed the same problem. also with Chrome and FP ver 11.5.31.2and Firefox and Safari with FP 11.5.502.110
    it seems that MovieClipLoader class not returning onLoadInit event. I use to add a fadein function on loadInit to fade in the loaded images. with the latest Flash PLayer versions this is not activated so you cannot see the loaded images.
    I have tested this on 3 different systems and the problem is the same. I have not updated my FP for IE. There, the older FP still works well.

  • Image does not display when selected

    Images are not displayed on opening. Progress bar "Reading Photoshop format" runs and fnishes. Layer info is displayed at right. But the image is not shown in the work space.
    (Added) Problem occurs with PSD and DNG (ACR) file types only. JPG files open fine. DNG opens in ACR but the "Open" button has no effect. PSD does not appear at all, when selected.
    Any ideas appreciated.

    Looks like stopping/restarting PS resolved this issue, at least for the moment. I'm quite new to the Mac World, and may have pressed some wrong keys/combinations (?).

  • Favicon.ico image does not display consistently for our application,

    Hi,
    We have configured a favicon.ico for our application as below code snippet and referring to the favicon.ico image correctly. The icon file is available in our war file post deployment. The problem is some times it displays correctly and sometimes it does not display correctly.
    <af:outputText value="&lt;link rel='SHORTCUT ICON' href='#{facesContext.externalContext.requestContextPath}/images/favicon.ico'/>" id="favicon" escape="false"/>
    Can anyone point to any issue related to browser caching or application server caching and any possible fix to this intermittent behavior.
    regards,
    Chandra.

    Browser caching might be a problem, but we can't help as it is a browser issue. All I can say is to clear the browser cache and see if the problem can be reproduced. If yes it doesn't look like a browser problem. Then you have to check if you are connection via proxy which might cache images too. Ask your network admin for help then.
    Do you see this problem only with one browser? Have you check other browsers?

  • PS CC does not display images

    I use (hope to) PS CC in combo with LR and Windows 8. When I select right click in LR and edit in PS CC, PS loads but does not display the image. If I look in PS under recently opened files, the file imported from LR shows. If I initiate the opening of the file from PS, it does not display. If I initiate the opening of any image file from CC, it does not display. What is the problem and how do I work around it??? Thank you.

    Update your video card driver from the GPU maker's website.  If you can't update the driver for some reason, then turn off the GPU features in Photoshop's preferences until you can get a working version of your video card driver.

  • Image does not display on Webi/Information Analyzer report BO XI 4.O

    In Information Analyzer ( Webi ) I am using BO XI 4.0 ramp up version. I have create one report with image on it. I moved the image to image directory on BO server .
    While creating the report I am able to see the image fine. However when I call the report from a hyperlink the image does not get displayed.
    If I go and refresh the data, then the image comes back.
    But I want to be able to see the image without having to refresh the report each time.
    I restarted services and removed cookies and cache from IE broweser and tested with many other machines, but still same problem.
    Can someone please advice..soon..

    Is this a custom application that is viewing the report or is it Infoview or urlreporting?
    If it isn't a custom app, you may be better off posting this question [here|SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence; instead.  You may also want to open a case with support for this.

  • Image does not display on my podcasts

    I had tried everything but the image linked to my podcast does not display.
    Here is the link:
    http://www.researchtopractice.net/podcast/feed/bcu.xml
    The feeder is validating, I have the correct sizes but cannot understand why the image does not show up.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Joao

    There are two different images you need. One for the feed. This is the one that shows up on the main iTunes store page for your podcast. This image does not get added to the individual episodes when it is downloaded.
    To get Album Art work into the individual episode you need to add the image into the ID3 tags BEFORE you upload the MP3 file. See this tutorial on how to do that.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Live View - background-image does not display

    I'm teaching a basic Dreamweaver CS4 class, and one of my students happened upon a unique problem. 
    Although the students were not required to use LiveView for their assignment, the student noticed that when he clicked the LiveView button to look at his assignment, that the background-image property that he set on the #header DIV does not display.
    I tried duplicating his problem by building a similar site to his, using the exact same Dreamweaver Starter Page he used, but I'm not able to reproduce it the problem. If I define a new site using the files the student sent me, the problem comes back.
    I'm completely stumped. What could possibly be causing the background-image CSS property to stop rendering in Live View?
    Thanks for any help at all!

    Hi
    Check your students css code for invalid or missing mark-up, or linking to the background image. Another possible problem, (occurs on some sites but not all) is to check if the url is enclosed in quotes as these are occasionally required but not always, also check for spaces in file names
    e.g. - background-image: url(../images/yourimage.jpg); should work but occasional requires quotes as in - background-image: url("../images/yourimage.jpg");

  • Control mouseover image does not display when contained in an array of clusters.

    I have been using system booleans (with some customization) for the ability to impement mouseover animations.  For example (default system booleans):
    The mouseover feedback works well with my UI, and for the most part everything is going great.
    However, the mouseover image does not load if the the boolean is contained within an array of clusters (a single cluster with the boolean inside or an array of booleans works as expected):
    The mouseover animation does work for a single array element in the above case (the one which was most recently clicked), but this behavior isn't desirable and it seems buggy if I were to leave this on my UI as it is.
    So I guess I'm just wondering if anybody has encountered this or has any suggested workarounds?  The few that I've thought of so far (maintain a separate array for any set of system boolean controls, check coordinates myself on mouse move event and try to update the proper element in the array, avoid using mouseover animations entirely for this set of controls) aren't all that desirable.  Even though this issue could be considered cosmetic, the UI is very important to me as this code is something shipped to customers.
    This is LV 2011 by the way, so if by some chance the behavior in 2012 is correct please let me know (this alone might be reason enough to convert the project up).  If there is a CAR ID for this behavior and an NI employee wishes to share it I would also appreciate that.
    Best Regards,  
    John Passiak
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hey Jason,
    A reproducing VI would be any VI that contains an array of clusters with a system control boolean inside.  Here's an example:
    Single Boolean, Single Cluster, and Array of Booleans all show the proper mouseover image.
    Array of Clusters always shows the mouseover effect on the last element which was clicked, but does not show the mouseover effect on other array elements (actually, it seems to be inconsistent--every now and then it does show the mouseover effect on other array elements but it is not at all reliable).
    Best Regards,
