Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

hello,
i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
thanks for your time,
max

The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

How to create shortcut desktop icon for all users???

Hello All,
I want to know how to create shortcut icon for all users in windows 7. I tried C:\Users\Public but no folder for Desktop.
Thanks

C:\users\All users
JS
Hi,
I am just wondering, what is the technically correct location to place say, a shortcut, for all users to access on their desktops on a given machine?
Is it C:\Users\Public\Desktop ?
Or is it C:\Users\All Users\Desktop ?
Would it also be possible to explain the differences as well? Or paste some links to the overview of each one? I am having trouble finding anything from MS.
Thank you.

What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollover for all visitors?

Hi.
First, thanks for reading this.
What's the best method for a nav menu with image rollovers for all visitors, including PDAs? I've used JavaScript rollovers for years because the majority of my customers' visitors use some version of IE (past 7.0) but I'm building a new site that has to display properly for the widest range of visitors imaginable. (I also know that I need to use a more modern method for everyone and this is my excuse to start).
Finally, using images is critical. I apologize ahead of time to anyone I offend, but I have never seen a nav menu without images that doesn't look just plain terrible.
Thanks.

If you want the best menus possible for Dreamweaver look no further than Project Seven:
http://projectseven.com/
They have all kinds of menus and other extensions available for purchase. Easy to use and they work as advertised. I personally use Pop Menu Magic and Tab Panel magic myself. I could go on and on, but I guarantee that if others respond they will echo the same sentiment for Project Seven.

Adding a page to chpt forces all successive chpts in book to reflow and repositions all pix and captions

Is there a way to keep ID CS6 from automatically doing this? Do I need to add 2 pages? All chpts start on righthand pages.

I already have the first tag in the chapt set up to start on an odd page. So the text starts on an odd pg but I end up with a blank pg to start the succeeding chpts (and then the text starts on the following odd pg)
This is especially annoying because the spread pages are mirror images with a thin column running along the fore edge for captions. Shuffling in an extra pg moves all pix and captions out of position.

HT204053 My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

My kids now each have an itouch, should we all have different apple ids even if I am paying for all itunes and app store purchases? what about icloud? I would like to share itunes and app purchases, but not necessarily photos...help please!

The recommended solution for most families is to share the same Apple ID for iTunes and App Store purchases, so you can share your purchases, but us different IDs for iMessage, FaceTime and iCloud. With this arrangement, each person can automatically download purchases made on the shared ID (by turning this feature on in Settings>iTunes & App Stores), while keeping their FaceTime calls, text messages and iCloud data (including photo stream) separated. There is no requirement that the ID you use for purchasing be the same as the ID you use for these other services.

Removing the default (View As Icon) for the control and Indicator

If you remove the default selection View As Icon for all the control and indicator, it is good for the programmer for easy to visualize the Block diagram code.

Interesting problem for all students and programmers Have a look!

Hello. This is a very interesting problem for all programmers and students. I have my spalsh screen class which displays a splash when run from the main method in the same class. However when run from another class( in my case from my login class, when user name and password is validated) I create an instance of the class and show it. But the image in the splash is not shown. Only a squared white background is visible!!!.
I am sending the two classes

Hi Luis,
Use tcode XK99 for vendor mass change, select the Fax no field. You have to take note that this changes will be only 1 fax number for all vendors.
Else you have to use BAPI for mass change.

Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders

hi,
i have to send Email Notifications through workflow for all Approved and Rejected Orders to the user who have submitted the order for approval.how could it be done.please send ur solutions.
regards
yesukannan

Hi,
An option would be use Oracle Alert. Create an event based alert on the table where you have order approvals or rejections. This alert will be raised after inserting or updating this table. Create an action linked to this alert, and choose message as action type.
This setup can be done under Alert Manager Responsibility.

Difference between Due Date for All Tasks and Duration per task in an approval workflow

Hello,
I'm starting to read up and learn about approval workflows in Designer 2010. I am confused by the fields "Due Date for all Tasks" and the "Duration per task". I understand that the Due date for all Tasks is the date that all
of the tasks in the workflow must be completed by. And I understand that the duration means each task has x number of days to complete.
But I dont know whey we need them both. If I have the task duration set to two days and there are 3 tasks involved, then wouldn't the due date be 6 days from the start? Why would I have a due date for all tasks that is completely different than
the sum of the duration of days for each task?
Please help shed some light!

Hi Michelle,
Due date for all tasks, this setting specifies the date by which all tasks are due. It’s used for serial and parallel
task.
Duration per tasks, this setting specifies the date by which an individual
task is due, it’s used for serial workflow participants.
Note, when you create an approval workflow, select task process participants(approvers oob approval workflow), we can also
select once at a time(serial) or all at once(parallel).

Release date set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files

I have an ongoing problem with iTunes on my MacBook Pro where the release date is set to 1/5/11 for all podcasts and iTunes U files. Although I can seemingly correctly sort by release date, the date is the same across all files. Can someone advise as to how I might go about correcting this such that the actual, proper, release date is shown? Thanks in advance for the help! - mvrb

@King_Penguin thanks for your help
See below some additional info:
I have 3 Macs:
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.9.1
1 X MBPr 2012 (OS X 10.8.5)
1 X iMac 2009 (OS X 10.8.5)
1) All 3 Macs have access to same accounts and have same apps in iTunes.
2) Problem is only found on both MBPr's 2012 with one NL and 1 US account. With one NL account (inactive) I have no issue on all three.
FYI I have multiple iTunes accounts: 2 for the Netherlands and 1 for US.
I also tried this after deleting the only 2 apps I got from the US iTunes Store but that did not solve my issue.
I think the matter is related to my iTunes account(s) and NOT to a computer (prefs file)

Extract schema/metadata - names for all tables and attributes

Hi, I am quite new to Oracle DB (only been doing dev mostly with sqlserver before). Is there a way to extract schema (names for all tables and attributes) for 10g and 11g in application code (either java or .net) or pl/sql?
Thank you,
-Tony

There are built in views that start with DBA_, ALL_, and USER_. All means all the user can see, user means all the user has, and dba means everything, which generally means the same as the others plus an owner. So you can desc user_tables to see what-all that view has, then select columns from the view with ordinary sql. See the doc set for all the views available, interesting ones are ...views, ...objects, ...tab_cols and so forth.
There are also built in procedures for getting metadata, google for details.
Many tools have easy GUI's for this too. EM has ways on the administration screen to get to various objects, and then you can show the ddl. Maybe sqldeveloper has something too.

Setting up proxies for all users and clearing it on logoff

Hi,
This is an emergency, So any help would be welcomed.
Scenario - I have a lab which is configured with windows 8.1 enterprise 64bit. I created two local account. I want to connect it to our proxy such that its set up for all users and local users would not be able to change it. this way they have to log in
to use the browsers (IE/Firefox/Chrome). Secondly if they logout and log back in, it should require them to re-login to use the browsers. (It looks like its cached by default.
Any idea how to do these, Any suggestions are welcome.
I would Preferably like to script this so that I can run it on all machines.
Thanks
Manoj

Hi,
Could you please have a share with the network environment?
If we are in a domain environment, we could configure the proxy using group policy, but the configuration won't change unless the policy changes.
For the scripting, if you would like to use, we'd better ask in the scripting guys forum for a better help.

What is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why?

what is the condition for using 'for all entries' and why? can any body tell the reason for this ? its a big favour of me .
regards,
ravi.

hi,
for all entries is used to join two or more tables.
It is same as join but performance wise for all entries is more effective.
You can only use FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ...WHERE ...in a SELECT statement.
SELECT ... FOR ALL ENTRIES IN itab WHERE cond returns the union of the solution sets of all SELECT
statements that would result if you wrote a separate statement for each line of the internal table replacing the symbol
itab-f with the corresponding value of component f in the WHERE condition.Duplicates are discarded from the result
set. If the internal table itab does not contain any entries, the system treats the statement as though there were
no WHERE cond condition, and selects all records (in the current client).
for example:
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO wa_sflight
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN ftab
WHERE CARRID = ftab-carrid AND
CONNID = ftab-connid AND
fldate = '20010228'.
this condition, return all entries of the sflight
hen using FOR ALL ENTRIES the number of matching records is restricted to the number of records in the internal table. If the number of records in the database tables is too large then join would cause overheads in performance. Additionally a JOIN bypasses the table buffering.
So for all entries is used for filtering out the data from the two tables based on the entries in them.
Advantages:
1) For all entries avoids inner join & so the performance increases.
2) For specified values in 1 itab, if you to fetch values from other table you can use it.
3) Use of select stmt in loop is gets avoided, as u can use read statement on the the new itab.
