Associate image, icon, or thumbnail with an event?

I've Googled around and I can't find anything on how to associate a small image with an event and have the image display in iCal.  For instance, I'd like to put a star on my iCal every day that I take a walk.  The idea is to "rubberstamp" a date, similar to what you can do in some Wii programs.  Any ideas?  Is this at all possible?

    a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.

    When previewing images by clicking on the thumbnail in an Event for example, I've been finding that many images preview in a 'zoomed in' way so only a small part of the photos is previewed in a highly magnified view.
    Initially I could find no cause. Then I tried right click - Edit and on the affected images, always get this warning:
    "Image Cannot Be Edited - This photo was previously edited with another application or with an early version of Iphoto. Duplicate this photo to edit it." and a "Duplicate To Edit" Button is displayed. 
    The external Editor defined for iPhoto is Adobe Photoshop Elements.
    Now, I reckon the MUST be others out there affected by this same apparent Preview bug, yet my searches have not revealed any answers.  Also seems impossible to find a contact number for adobe???

    I can see my thumbnails for my events in iphoto, but when I click to open the folder, no photos show up. However, when I hover over the thumbnail, it shows the flicker of images
    that should be inside the folder, as well as # of images in each folder. It also occasionally says the following when I try to even open iphoto:  "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete." So, I am scared to hit "upgrade" for fear I will never recover any of the images as the wording in this quote seems odd. The photos are not in the trash. Did I lose them all? Do you know if/how I can retrieve them?

    iPhoto 08?
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • How to save transparent background images to have transparent background thumbnails with Photoshop 2014?

    In old versions of Photoshop there was a feature that made thumbnail images have a transparent background.  I'm a CC member using Photoshop 2014 on a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.9.4 and every thumbnail of a transparent background image I've created in Photoshop 2014 appears on my desktop with a solid white box background that has a thin black outlined box inside of it.  How do I save the transparent background images I've created in Photoshop 2014 so they will appear on my desktop as thumbnails with a transparent background?   I'd like to continue to be able to replace the default background-less folder icon that that appears on files with transparent background thumbnails to customize my files as I use to do with older versions of Photoshop.

    If your layered document has a Photoshop background layer it visibility need to be set off when saving a PNG or Gif file for Photoshop background layers do not support transparency.
    Thumbnail may be a bit more complicated than you think. I do not use Lightroom, and only occasionally use the bridge.  I believe Lightroom and Bridge  keep thumbnails they develop for image files  in their library databases and caches.  Other programs do not have acces to  these.  RAW Files and Image files have Jpeg previews stored in then.  I believe most application use these previews jpeg to create thumbnails.  Jpeg format does not support transparency.
    Icon on the desktop are not always thumbnails some are embedded icons in application modules other are icon in dll these may well have transparency. However image file on the desktop have generated thumbnails.  However you can create a shortcut for an image png file and create a icon with a transparent background for the png file and change the shortcut's icon for the png file to the transparent ico file you created for it.
    Also many Photoshop release ago an Adobe module created Thumbnails for image files in Windows File explorer and most likely system file dialog. Adobe stopped supporting that stating Microsoft changes how windows works.
    Today I use FastPictureViewer Codec Package to generate image thumbnails for image files including RAW and PSD files in File Explorer and system file dialogs.
    I don't use a Mac don't know what available for your Mac.

  • In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?

    In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?
    In all other versions of Photoshop, I can see a preview of the image, even .psd files, but with CS5 now, I just see the PSD icons...this again, is when you go to File, then Open...  Anyone else see this?  In Elements 9, I see the preview thumbnail icon, not generic, same with CS3 and Elements 7, but not with CS5? 

    Well, I was thinking if others tried on their Win7 system, they could let me know if they get the same result or different...so by comparison I could see if I had an issue with my software, such as if it were standard...  However, I did figure it out...  It's a 32-bit vs. 64-bit difference.  Elements 9 is a 32-bit software, and so is CS5 32-bit of course....so both of those softwares show .psd thumbnails in the File, Open view...but the 64-bit does not...in Win7 64-bit...in case anyone else is wondering...

  • Trying to create a surface  with multiple images with mouse events

    novice programmer (for a applet program)
    hi trying to create a surface i.e jpanel, canvas, that allows multiple images to be created.
    Each object is to contain a image(icon) and a name associated with that particular image. Then each image+label has a mouse event that allows the item to be dragged around the screen.

  • Image Icon with JAR

    Hi,
    I would like to replace the standard coffee cup window icon with a custom image for a stand-alone Swing application, all packaged as a JAR file. As a quick test, I wrote the following:
    package me.swinginfo1;
    import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    public class IconWindow extends JFrame {
         public IconWindow() {
              this.setSize(300, 200); //set the window size
              this.setLocationRelativeTo(null); //centers window on screen
              this.setTitle("Window with Icon"); //set the window title
              this.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //end the program when window closed
              java.net.URL imageURL = this.getClass().getResource("images/red_circle.png");
              this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon(imageURL).getImage());
         * Executes Swing window... no arguments.
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              IconWindow myWindow = new IconWindow();
              myWindow.setVisible(true);
    When I run this class from the IDE (Eclipse, in this case), the program runs fine, and my icon image appears in the corner of the window as desired. However, when I package the program into a JAR, the JAR will not execute. My method of packaging is simply to use File -> Export -> JAR.
    Note: if I comment out the two lines related to the Icon Image, then the JAR executes as expected (but without my custom image icon, of course).
    I am concerned that perhaps the resource folder containing the image is not being included in the JAR. Is there an easy way to check this? Or is there something else I am doing wrong?
    Thanks!

    Thanks for the information atmguy. After checking the jar contents, I found that my resource files (the "red_circle.png" in this case) were not being packaged into the jar. It looks like the reason for this was that I had just added the directory to my project "src" directory by hand, rather than importing the files with Eclipse. Thus, when I packaged the jar using Eclipse, it was unaware of the resource files and therefore did not include them in the jar.
    Also, I found that in Windows a handy way of quickly viewing jar files is to rename the jar as a .zip, and then just explore the zip file. (As mentioned here: http://en.kioskea.net/faq/sujet-556-to-see-the-content-of-a-jar-file).
    The jar now executes as expected. Thanks!

  • Bridge does not mark thumbnails with icon after file has been worked.

    I use Windows Vista and process photo files in Bridge using the latest Camera Raw plug-in and Photoshop CS2. Bridge does not mark each thumbnail with a icon as it should after processing. I use the same PS program on another computer using Windows XP and Bridge does mark each thumbnail with an icon. Why will Bridge not mark each thumbnail with an icon as stated in the PS manual on my Vista computer?

    I use Vista and CS3, Bridge marks my RAW files when changes are made. Check to see if you have different settings in Bridge between the 2 computers. PS is not supported by Vista Basic.

  • Call  form   with out  broken image icon

    I need to put a PayPal button on my site. The shopping cart I

  • Scaling down images to thumbnails with bilinear/bicubic filtering in Flex?

    Hi!
    I develop a Flex based AIR Application, which needs to create
    thumbnails of big images. My Thumbnailer class does what I want to,
    but the results look not so well. The problem is, that even with
    "smoothing" turned on, when drawing the bitmap smoothing only
    effects up-scaling.
    The thumbnails look very jagged and crisp. Photoshop uses
    bilinear or bicubic filtering when scaling down an image, which
    looks much better. I have searched the web with google and I have
    looked for other Flex projects using thumbnails but I could not
    find anything producing better thumbnail images.
    Performance is not very important because I save the
    thumbnails to image files and use these. So scaling does not to be
    real time.
    Is there a way to create better thumbnail images in
    Flex?

    I don't think it should be necessary to do things this way.
    I tried following the approach outlined here:
    http://blog.739saintlouis.com/2007/02/05/scaling-an-image-with-smoothing/
    in both an AIR app and a normal web app, and it looked
    noticeably different (worse) in AIR. Have you done the same
    experiment?
    Anyway, someone will look into it. (It's still possible you
    may be able to get better results following your method,
    though...not sure about that).

  • Xperia z3 foto widget show broken image icons instead of image thumbnail/preview

    Initially I used my Z3 without SD card. Everything word fine: album AND the foto widget which allows to browse through taken pictures.After- installing an SD card,- changing the location for newly taken pictures to SD card- AND moving some pictures to other directories -- AND creating a number of .nomedia files on these directories to make these pictures not appear in the album nor in the foto widget, the foto widget shows a broken image icon for ALL pictures taken until this change. All new pictures display fine in the widget and the album app. I delete the album cache and data file (in settings -- all apps -- album).This didn't change anything (so far). How can I force the album app/widget to recreate it's database and preview/thumbnails?? Thanks a lot.M~

    @z3_owner Settings > apps > album > clear data > uninstall updates > restart the phone > wait few minutes > remove the nonmedia files too. Followed your instructions without success so far.a) how long could it take to recreate database and thumbnails? The main picture directory (DCIM on the SD card) contains almost 1000 pictures).b) Where should the .thumbnails directory reside? Should it -- after switiching to the SD -- be in /storage/sdcard1/DCIM or still in  /storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?c) How can I either force the media scanner to run and update the foto widget pictures and album database or see/verify that it does run. Thanks again. Michael

  • How to associate an icon with an application

    Hi folks,
    I have what I think should be an easy question, but I'm at my wit's end trying to solve it. I just used fink to download gimp and it works fine. However, I need to start it from the command line, and I would really like to be able to just click on an icon in the dock. The gimp icon is available, but I don't know how to associate it with the command to launch the gimp. Any tips or suggestions would be warmly received.
    Thanks in advance,
    Carl

    You can't really "associate" an icon with a command/executable in OS X - it has to be provided by an application. Is there a reason why you don't want to use one of the packaged versions of gimp, such as http://gimp-app.sourceforge.net/ ?
