Change Flashdrive Preview Image

There a way to change the con of the flashdrive as it appears on the desktop? The icon is a little boring and i want to change it to a custom image of mine. Help?

Figured it out for anyone who wants to know. Open the image you want in Preview and use the select to tool to select the WHOLE image. Hit Apple+C to copy and switch over to your folder, or whatever else. Hit Apple+I to "Get Info." In the top left corner there should be a small image. The same image as the big "Preview Image" below it. Select the small picture in the top-left corner. It should have a blue outline. Hit Apple+V to paste. Your preview image should have changed. If not reply to this and I'll try to let you know why it is not working.

  • Changing The Preview Image for File Types

    Is there any way for me to change the image that shows up as the preview for file types? For example, I use OpenOffice and all my .doc files show up as blank pages of paper, which I don't like. I've tried to change this to no avail, from using the "Get Info" window to within the program itself. Any help?

    If you have an image that you want to use, do a Get Info on it, select the image at the top of the box and then copy from the Edit menu. Then on your OpenOffice document do a Get Info and paste the image into the little image icon at the top of the Get Info box.

  • HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

    Hello dear Mac users
    How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
    I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
    For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
    I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
    I hope someone will understand my needs...
    Thanks!

    Thanks BeerbarX
    You can't change the preview image for anything

    In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
    That is exactly what I'm asking about !
    MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
    How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
    Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

  • Could not change preview image of video in PublishingWebControls:MediaFieldControl

    Here are the steps I have done:
    Create a new Site Column of Media Field type, called Media.
    Create new Content Type that inherits from Page content type, called Media Page Content Type.
    Add a column from newly-added Media site column to Media Page Content Type.
    Create a new page layout that uses Media Page Content Type.
    Create a new page that applies the new page layout.
    Specify a video for the media field of the page.
    Up to this point everything was working well. The video could display with default preview image.
    But when I tried to change the preview image using the button in Media ribbon menu of the page, then saves the page. The preview image could not be saved.
    Anyone has faced this issue before?
    I have tried this on both SharePoint Online and on-premise and it gave the same effect.
    Thanks in advance and appreciated if any idea or solution.

    "Use ECMAScript (JavaScript, JScript) to add a Set Thumbnail button. When a user clicks Set Thumbnail, the JavaScript object model for the MediaWebPart object captures
    the appropriate frame, calls the Silverlight application on the page to store the thumbnail image in the Thumbnails library, sets the URL for the thumbnail image automatically for the video, and hides the PreviewImageUrl field from view on the form."

  • Can you change the size of the preview images on an Apple TV without changing video resolution?

    I have a 32 inch LCD TV. My room is relatively large and I can't easily see the preview images or read the text on the TV across the room. Is it possible to change the size of preview images in the menu screens without increasing the resolution of the TV itself? I think this should be possible, but can't seem to find a way to do it.

    No that's not something you can do on the Apple TV.
    If you have any suggestions that you think might enhance the Apple TV you can send Apple your feedback here.

  • How do i change the file preview image for mp4 files?  I replaced the image but it doesnt show in my dock, instead it shows the first still of a movie

    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/21/screenshot07m.jpg/
    http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/39/screenshot04s.jpg/
    pls help. i change the file preview of a movie file, and it shows that i have changed the preview in finder but when i open the folder on my dock, it shows the still of the movie instead.
    the image shows the film the hangover as an example. the movie poster is visible in finder, but reverts to a default movie still from the dock. this only seems to occur for mp4 files.

    its nothing to do with itunes, its movies form the internet. i got the file preview by taking an image off the internet, pressing command c and pasting it on top of the small icon in the get info section

  • APERTURE: Small preview images do not show the changes.

    excuse my lousy english...
    Problem with Aperture:
    Small preview images do not show the changes.
    I use Aperture 3 since August 2010. By November and 10 projects later it ran normally.
    Since the project 11 are in the preview images shown (on the bottom bar in the shared representation) and in the pictures in the books no adjustments. I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the great View Erbild s / w is. Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
    This is of course in the processing of multiple images per project huntert pretty annoying to have no overview of processed images ...:-(
    I had a third installed for books and not as close a relationship.
    Does anyone have similar experience or know someone how can I fix this?
    Thanks for reading!
    Lokoe

    Lokoe,
    To make sure we understand:
    I change for example a picture in b / w it remains in the small preview images bunt even though the *great View Erbild s / w is*.
    I am not sure what "s/w" is, but I think you mean:
    "I change picture to black and white and the small preview images remain *in color* even though the *big picture in the Viewer* is in B/W."
    Even in the books then the famous picture colorful and even grobpixelig.
    "In the books the selected picture is colorful and even ???"
    "Grobpixelig" -> "grosspixelig" -> "Looks like big pixels???" Not quite sure of the translation. It's been 15 years since I spoke Deutsch!

  • HT2506 How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    How do I change the default image editor from Preview to Graphic Converter?

    I'm assuming you want the default programme to change from Preview to Graphic Converter so that clicking on the file would open Graphic Converter instead of Preview.
    Control click on the file type that you want to open using Graphic Converter. Press Command+I for Get Info. Click on the triangle next to Open With. Select Graphic Converter and Press Change All...

  • Can Finder windows Always preview images? Can the Preview size be changed?

    I would like to have my Finder windows always open so that when viewing a list of images and clicking on one, the preview is displayed as if the arrow has been clicked to open the preview.
    How is that controlled?
    Also, I was wondering if that preview size can change. I thought that if I increases the size of that 'cell' in the wondow that the preview would grow but that's not the case. Can I change the preview size?

    It's not altogether clear to me exactly what you want, but if you open a folder of images and put the window into column view, you can drag the last preview column until it displays the maximum size preview of 255 pixels in width or height. However, not all thumbs are created equal, and not all will display at that maximum size, some are limited to the usual icon maximum of 128 pixels. Thus the jpegs I download from my camera will have a max of 128, but if I have opened and saved the image as a Photoshop file the max will be 255. Screenshots in png format also have the 255 maximum. Large jpegs I download (which do not have a custom thumb) will also display at the 255 max in Column view. Just depends on the file.

  • How do I change the default image opening application from Preview

    How can I change the Preview application default so that I can double click to open files in Photoshop?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Select a jpeg in the Finder and go File -> Get Info.
    In the Info window look for the Open With.. pane and select Photoshop from the Drop down.
    Click Change All.
    You'll need to repeat the process for Tiffs and other formats.

  • I am unable to get same preview image colors in Bridge and Lightroom

    I am unable to get same file preview in Bridge and Lightroom. The Lightroom preview image (in both the Library and Develop) is more de-saturated. But the exported/saved jpegs match. If I try to match the Lightroom preview image to the Bridge preview image, the resulting Lightroom  export colors are off. I have tried this with images with no changes and with changes and the result is the same. I have Lightroom 5.6 and CR 8.6. I am using the latest version of Bridge.
    I contacted Adobe support and followed all instructions to try to fix but the problem remains. This comment was made after several solutions were tried, including updating Lightroom. :
    Adobe: there would be little difference in case of preview of Bridge CC and Lightroom 5. However, after exporting it would be same. Both use different technology at the background and work in a different way. The preview which you see in lightroom is not the actual image but incase of Bridge you see the actual image ( original ). That's the reason there is a color variation between previews.
    Me: But how can I then use the Lightroom preview to get accurate colors when processing a RAW file? If I do adjustments to the RAW file in Lightroom it looks different when exported. That doesn't seem to make sense when Lightroom is designed for photograhy
    Adobe: Please check in develop module of lightroom.
    Me: Nothing changes in the develop mode. The image looks the same as in the preview/Library mode.
    This screenshot shows the unmodified images in Develop (Lightroom) and ACR (Bridge). The color differences are significant.
    Lightroom exported jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in Develop (which looks like Bridge preview image not the Lightroom preview)
    Bridge saved jpeg file, unmodified from preview image in ACR
    Any suggestions on what I need to do to Lightroom to make it show accurate colors. If not, I don't see any point in using it to process files.
    Thanks, Marie

    Bridge is just a browser. It displays according to the embedded color profile but assumes sRGB for all untagged images.
    In Lightroom library previews use Adobe RGB and in Develop the working space is Pro Photo RGB.
    The real question is why use both Bridge and Lightroom. Stick to one, not both.

  • In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

    Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview.  I have to open the file to be able to see it.  Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

    I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see  a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

  • Font Change in Preview mode

    The font I used while editing a cp4 slide changes when previewed in the web browser.  This does not happen with other slides in my project. What can i do to prevent this?

    Hi there
    It might help if you could please insert images of what you see in each view. Perhaps by seeing what you are describing we might understand what may be happening.
    Use the camera icon please. If you don't know what I'm referring to, click here and read the thread.

  • How to change file preview in Finder?

    So I just finished my latest short film, and I exported it to Finder. However I don't like the preview Finder chose for my video, it simply chose a random frame from my video and made that the preview of the file. I have a custom poster I made for the video I would like to make the preview of the file. I've look at other websites and they all mistook "preview" for icons. I am not talking about the icon of the file, I am talking about the actual preview of the file. If you open the Info pane of an image or a video file, there will be a tab under "Open With" named "Preview" and shows the preview thumbnail for the file. Can anyone tell me how I can manually change the preview of a file? I thought about importing the video into iTunes, change the cover art and take it out again, however because the file is encoded with Apple ProRes 4444 iTunes won't accept it and even if it did it would have been converted to other format, which is something I am trying to avoid and I would like to keep it ProRes 4444.

    Hi!
    I'm not sure how to change the preveiw icon, but if you're just looking for a quick way to change the icon preview of that particular file you could always change the the icon from the finder get info window:

  • When I make a change to an image in Develop, how do i retain it?

    When I make a change to an image in Develop then go back to Library, I loose the change.  How do I retain the change?

    You don't have to do anything special. The changes made in Develop do stick.
    Perhaps the change isn't being shown in the Library module. There's a minor bug that shows up occasionally. When you're looking at the preview in the Library module, hit the spacebar to go to 1:1 and then hit it again to go back to Fit. That should update the preview to match what you did in Develop.
