Changing filing in Preview.

I've a collection of images built up over the years under 40 or more headings and sometimes I'd like to change how Preview files stuff. Used to be, back in System 10.4 or thereabouts, on opening a page of thumbnails one could drag them into any order you wanted, and that remains true with collections made long ago.
Now everything is filed alphabetically and that's fine, but sometimes I'd really like to order a new Preview window/page by just dragging the thumbnails around. How do I go about doing that?
Thanks . . . Fortes

Gosh, thanks, who knew? (Guess one's gotta go right thru all the menus -- but even then? No mention of this in Pogue's Missing Manual, by the way.)
While I'm really glad to know about Contact Sheet, it doesn't of course entirely replace that old-time ability to drag thumbnails around in the Preview folder. Is that entirely gone? If so, it's odd I can still do that with old files.

All Images in Folder Changed to No Preview

At my company we have different work stations with our files stored on a XServe.
Sometimes when a new folder is created onto the XServe and images are dropped into this folder, all of the images are changed to No Preview. Example, a photoshop image is saved with Preview: Macintosh (8 bits/pixel). It will show the preview when saved and placed in a folder if you were to view the file in the folder. Even, placing in InDesign or Quark it will show the image preview. However, if you were to move the image file into a newly created folder, the image is changed to Preview: None. It doesn't always happen, but it is happening on certain occasion for some reason.
The only way we been able to fix this is to reopen the image in Photoshop or Illustrator and resave the file again with Preview. We would like to avoid having to do this. So what is causing the images to change to Preview: None when moved to a different folder?
Apple G5 and XServe Mac OS X (10.4.8)

First thing to note that the file preview that you see in the finder has nothing to do with the preview that you see in layout programs like InDesign and Quark. They make their own preview from the actual image based on your layout preview and performance setting inside the program.
If all of your files are created with icon previews, then this may be a sign that the xServer is having drive/directory problems. Make sure you files are backed up and diagnose the health of the drives and Repair Permissions on the startup disk.

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

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

After upgrading to Premiere Pro CC 2014, I can't change the render preview location

Ever since I downloaded Premiere Pro CC 2014, I cannot re-route my render preview files. I have two internal hard drives and I need the files to go to my secondary one. With CC, it did this just fine, but since I've upgraded to 2014, it will not do it. I've set it the same way I did before in Preferences/Media, then set the Media Cache Files and Media Cache Database to the new hard drive. It's eating all my hard drive space and I cannot render or export a large sequence. Is there a trick to this I'm missing that has changed?

Thanks Neil! I'm actually wondering how to change where the preview files go. I've attached two screen grabs. Right now my media cache is going to my SATA drive (my smaller of my two internal hard drives and the drive where Premiere Pro is located.) I want to re-route my render files to go to my Macintosh HD drive which is much larger and gives me more breathing room. I could do that before but since I've upgraded to 2014, even though I have it set in preferences, it STILL goes to my SATA drive. So annoying! I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug. I'm still running Mountain Lion (getting ready to finally upgrade, I've just been needing to backup my computer), could this be the reason? Any ideas? Thanks so much for the help!

DataAction class changed from 10g Preview version to Production

I have been using the production version of JDeveloper to work through the "Creating a JSP Application using ADF Business Components and ADF DataBinding" tutorial that was written for the 10g Preview (http://otn.oracle.com/products/jdev/collateral/tutorials/9050/bizcomp_jsp_tut.html).
In one section it instructs you to override the findForward() method of a DataAction. Unfortunately, there is no longer an overloaded version of findForward() in the DataAction class that returns an ActionForward object, only one that returns void. Overloading the method is not a problem per se, but it cannot return super.findForward() as is specified.
There is also a problem with importing oracle.adf.controller.struts.actions.PageLifecycle; the class does not seem to be part of that package.
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Ryan,
Yes, some of the classes have changed between the preview and the production release. The extent of the changes are describe in the release note accessible from the help menu.
As for the findForward method, the value of the action forward is now set to the context object. Look at the javadoc for StrutsPageLifecycle.findForward
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/905/adf_javadocs/oracle/adf/controller/struts/actions/StrutsPageLifecycle.html#findForward(oracle.adf.controller.lifecycle.LifecycleContext)

How do I change the thumbnail preview picture

How do I change the thumbnail preview picture? I've got a 3d model and I want a particular view to be the thumbnail picture as well as the default view. I believe I've done that before but cannot figure out how I did it.

I'm working with pages that are comprised only one picture of a 3d object (a table). I really believe I was able to change the thumbnail to a particular point of view but can't remember how I did it. It's been so long that I can't remember, but I'm pretty sure I was able to.

Audio Track Not Changing CS3 Encore Preview

I have done this before (it has been a few months) and I hope I am missing something obvious. I have 1 timeline with 19 avi's from PPCS3 with their related audio on Audio 1 track. I have added music on Audio 2. Everything plays fine in the monitor when I select either Audio 1 or 2 with the little speaker on the left side of the timeline. My main menu has a button to select a submenu that has two buttons - one for game sounds (soccer games) and one for music. I have used specify link and choose the appropriate audio track and link back to the main menu. Just for fun (after I could not get the music to play in preview) I added a subtitle track 1 that contains the artist and song title (my first attempt at subtitles) and this works fine when music is selected (and not when you select game sound since I set subtitle track to 0), but in preview it is stuck on Audio 1 and even when I change manually in preview to Audio 2 - Audio 1 keeps playing. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Bob

Took a hint from another post that preview does not always work. This is the first time I have had this problem, but I usually come to Encore by way of export from PPCS3. I built to folder and it played like I wanted with software. Now I will finish the project and feel confident that it will work.
Just in case anyone is reading this, I had another error that it took me a few minutes to figure out in this project. The default location for chapters was too close to the beginning of a chapter and that chapter would not play even though the build check said there were no errors. I hope some of these problems are not in CS5.

Black and white PDFs printing in changing colours from preview

I am often printing black and white PDFs from preview with my HP PSC 1510 All in one printer and scanner. After updating to OS 10.6, my PDFs have been coming out in colour. They usually start in black, then change in the middle of a line of music or text to purple, red, blue and green. The longer the document, the more different colours I get. This is not occuring when printing black and white documents from NeoOffice, only when printing black and white PDFs from Preview. As this is what most of my printing consists of, this is extremely annoying.
I am high on black ink, as I recently changed catridge and I have also made certain that the printer driver knows this by using the printers and faxes preferance panel and selcting the" levels of material" button to update this, and it seems to understand that I am high on black and low on colour, but still the problem occurs with every PDF i print. (If this button is called something else, but similar, that is because I am using a norwegian system and don't actully know what it is called in the english OSX.)
There is no "print in black and white" button in the printer dialog either, so I can't fool the printer to print in black and white what it perceives as colour in my black and white PDFs either.

Be sure you have applied both the 10.6.2 update and the absolute latest drivers for HP from Apple:

Image Colors Change in Bridge Preview Window

I edited some images first in Camera Raw and then Photoshop (CS5), all working in sRGB color space, and saved them as JPEGs. If I select one of these images in the Bridge content pane, minimize the Bridge window, then maximize the Bridge window, the image appears correctly in the Bridge content pane but the colors are incorrect in the Bridge preview pane. If I resize the view in the content pane, the image colors in the preview pane get corrected within a couple seconds. Likewise, if I click on another image and then back, the image colors are correct in the preview pane, but if I again minimize then maximize the Bridge window, the image colors in the preview pane are incorrect again.
Windows Explorer displays the image colors correctly. ZoomBrowserEX (browser software provided with Canon camera) displays the same image (same file) with incorrect colors. When I upload these JPEGs to my web photohosting site (PictureTrail), the images appear there with incorrect colors. That is where this issue becomes most problematic because with the colors being off, the images are useless for posting to online forums or classifieds.
It seems that the color in the JPEG is being read differently by different software, and is even being read differently under different circumstances within Photoshop (Bridge). Is there a setting somewhere that I need to change? Or some other issue? Thanks.....

I have a fair understanding of color profiles and color management. My monitor is a Dell UltraSharp U3011 set to the factory-calibrated sRGB display mode.
What makes me certain that this is not a simple matter of different color management in different applications is that Bridge is displaying the same JPEG file/image in two panes on the screen simultaneously and the colors do not match. Furthermore, the incorrect colors in the preview pane image change to the correct colors if I resize the thumbnails in the content pane, or click on another image and then back; and the colors in the preview pane go back to incorrect if I minimize then maximize the Bridge window. Seems to me that there must be something within that JPEG that is being interpreted differently in different circumstances that results in the "two versions" displayed within the same application (Bridge) on the same screen at the same time, and that other apps are interpreting one way or the other.

Exploring a bit further, I've realized that the same color display issue exists with the original JPEGs from my camera (Canon T1i, shooting in sRGB color space). So it seems the issue did not originate with settings etc. in Photoshop.... but Photoshop (Bridge) IS displaying "two versions" on same screen at same time, and so must be doing something different with the JPEG info in one pane vs. the other.

[CS 4] Is it possible to change the font preview word? (eg: default is 'sample')

Hello Adobe Community,
I know that with past versions, changing the word that was used to preview fonts ('sample') was not possible (in 2006 anyway). But, because I believe CS4 came out in 08, I was wondering if this was a feature that had been implemented since then for CS4.
If it wasn't done for CS4, is it currently availible for CC? It would be a great feature to have! I know you can change the preview size (which helps a lot) but changing the word would be awesome if you're doing a 'try out' for how a specific phrase looks and want to glance at the preview list instead of going through each font with the arrow keys to change it.
Thanks all!
-Michelle

One trick that has worked for me is to open a new file. Then using the Type Tool, I would type out a phrase or paragraph.
Do not commit the type, instead use Ctrl or Cmd a to select the entire typed phrase. Then Ctrl/Cmd h to hide the highlight
without deselecting.
From there, you can try different fonts, font color, styles and sizes and see a live preview of what it looks like and make notes so as to narrow down your choices.
You can also use this trick on an actual project, such as a poster or flyer.
I hope that answers it for you and if it works as expected,no need to upgrade unless there are other reasons.

How do i change the mail preview in Lion from a vertical read to a horizontal read

I just switched from Snow leopard to Lion and i don't like the way that Lion has the mail preview set up as a 3 column vertical format. I thought in Snow Leopard you could change the set-up so it's either horizontal or vertical, but I can't seem to find that option in Lion. I want to have the list of my email messages in the top, horizontal window and the preview of the selected message in a horizontal window below. Am I missing this option to change the view format from vertical to horizontal somewhere?

Thank you this solved my problem also... i feel like a duffus for not figuring it out onmy own but who cares I can now get back to work instead of focalising on this... YEAH !

Layout changes when see preview in SP01 through Call transaction

Hi Gurus,
I have to show Spool preview from my program I am doing this by call transaction SP01 with spool no. and mode E.
But the preview which comes is very simple, It does not have graphics and other formatting.
If i check the spool directly from SP01 , its coming fine.
Please help me on this Issue.
Regrads,
Sowmen Das

I guess you mean CALL TRANSACTION 'SP01' USING lt_bdcdata MODE 'E' (so that to remain on the last screen of the BDC data).
Probably SP01 identifies that it is called using CALL TRANSACTION and reacts differently. One possibility is that it tests SY-BINPT which is 'X' when CALL TRANSACTION is used (opposed to space when SP01 is called directly). You may use CALL TRANSACTION ... OPTIONS FROM xx, where xx-nobinpt should be initialized to 'X' (don't forget to set xx-dismode to 'E' also), so that SY-BINPT won't change.
Note: why don't you use the print preview as we do usually? (TDPREVIEW output option)

How to change filed length for Infotypes IT0197

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement from my client regarding IT0197 (malaysia specific)
In the above infotype there is a field called SOCSO number. Currently the filed length defined is 20 characters in SE11.
But on the screen level, if we see it is allowing only 9 characters.
My question is we need to extend this from 9 characters to 12 characters on screen level.
Can we do this w/o access key. I heard we can do this with help of config. Please assist.... its bit urgent.
regds,
babu

Hi.
Can you share how you were able to change the screen field length?
We need to do the same thing at our company, but our ABAPer is not sure how.
Can you share the steps please?
Thanks.

Fonts are changing in the Preview tab

I have a complex dynamic form in LiveCycle Designer. When I am on the Design View tab, I have most of the fonts set to Myriad Pro. When I use test data and view the form in the Preview PDF tab, all the fonts change. According to the document properties window, they changed to Adobe Sans MM. Why are the fonts changing? How do I get the form to use the fonts I selected in the Design View?

PDF preview is using the currently automated instance of Acrobat or Reader to display your form design. However, font locations are different between the two applications. Designer takes its fonts from a local font folder in its app directory whereas Acrobat/Reader will attempt to resolve font names either through the windows font folder for truetype, etc, and its own font folder located in Acrobat/Resource/Font. If your designer font is not in the Resource folder and you have embed fonts turned OFF in File->Form Properties->Save Options, acrobat/reader will try to substitute the missing font with whatever available font is acceptable usually Adobe Sans. The A beside the font category shows that its an acrobat/reader font resource which is the issue.

Image Quality Changes After First Preview

I've only been using Aperture for a few weeks but seem to have a problem when I preview any newly imported RAW images.
After I import any new RAW files, I'll select one for preview and for no more then a second the image looks great. Then all of a sudden the quality/brightness/sharpness reduces in front of me.
This only happens the once for each image, after that all images remain at this lower quality once previewed.
It's almost like Aperture is processing the image when I click to preview, but not in a good way.
It there a setting I should be looking for? I thought Aperture processed the image at the point of import, not when you first preview the image?

There can be other causes for this effect than are described above. On the 5DMK3, if you have the in-camera Picture Styles set to anything other than Standard or Neutral, the Picture Style will be applied to the JPEG but Aperture's Raw converter will not apply the Picture Style adjustments when it processes the image. Thus you will see some kind of shift in colour and/or contrast.
So either shoot only in JPEG mode if you want the Picture Styles applied to your images, or change the camera Picture Style to Standard or Neutral.
