Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

... and that really bothers me!
As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.
Apple... FIX THIS, PLEASE!

If it's an issue that you feel needs their attention, I'd submit feedback to Apple directly, as they have no employees dedicated to reading these forums. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/ to send your request.

  • Missing Cove Flow & Quick Look from Finder once they went "up in smoke"

    I installed Leopard today on my iMac and will messing around managed to loose both my Cover Flow and Quick Look icons in the Finder and can't find where they are on my computer (have looked everywhere including Applications). Anyone know how to retrieve them once they go "Up In Smoke"
    Thanks

    I'm posting this image only so we are speaking about the same thing and are clear. If you drag the icon set back to the toolbar the items will not update? If so, please send Feedback to Apple about this problem.

  • Quick Look and CS2 Files

    When I'm in Cover Flow view, Illustrator and InDesign files have thumbnails. However, if I click on Quick Look, I just get a grainy blown-up view of the application icon. I work mainly in Illustrator and InDesign, so no Quick Looks of those files is a big disappointment.

    This is kind of weird because I assumed Cover Flow utilized Quick Look to display the hires file icons. You can see the file icons are being rasterized and are not just bitmaps because even when Cover Flow is huge the icons look great.

  • Good looking �Look and feel� icons ?

    Good looking �Look and feel� icons ?
    Where could be found icons , professional looking, like in �Java TM Look and Feel Graphics Repository� site, for use in JtoolBar For various functions in java application program ?

    (I truely hope I won't start a flame war, but:) I absolutely can't agree with the statement "professional looking, like in �Java TM Look and Feel Graphics Repository� site". If there's one association that comes to my mind when I hear the words "ugly" and "swing" then it's exactly those icons.
    Nevertheless here's something that might help you better:
    I think (but I'm not too sure) that you can use all icons that ship with eclipse (They should be under the CPL and thus you should be allowed to use them). And I beliebe it might be hard to find somebody who perfers the aforementioned icons ;-)
    Another source is http://www.memoire.com/guillaume-desnoix/icones/. Note that the icons have with different licences.

  • Question: Quick Look in Finder; problems with alpha channels

    Hi
    "Quick look" in Finder is great for quick presentations of a folders selected contents but it only works with images that contains no alpha channels or masks. Is there any way to work around this to display say PhotoShop documents with alpha channels? Or any plug-ins/applications that can help?
    thanks.

    This has been broken forever in OS X, and I don't know why, because it used to work just fine. I suspect the engineers did something to QuickTime that causes this problem, but it has been borked for so long I don't remember when the ability to correctly display files went wrong. I just remember that once upon a time all sorts of things from Apple worked correctly in displaying such files, but pretty much nothing does now. This includes the Finder, Preview, QuickLook, and various third-party image browsers that use Apple's own system level image handling abilities, such as VitaminSee or CocoaViewX. When I need to actually see what's there, I browse with Adobe's Bridge.

  • What does a folder with alternating ? and finder icons mean?

    After booting my G5, it now goes to a blue screen containing a solitary folder in the center with alternating "?" and "finder" icons in the center of it. They flash for approximately 22 times, stop on the "finder" icon briefly, then start up again. I was told that this is a sign that my hard drive was 'fried'. Can anyone verify this--or perhaps give me other information on what might be occurring. All I want to do is reformat my hard drive and give the unit to my grandkids for researching, word processing, etc.--as it is only running Tiger 10.4.11.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the information, Chris. I did run disk one of the system install, buy it would not take me to the hard drive in the G5--only gave me an icon for a remote(online) startup. Any other suggestion as I tried resetting the PRAM and the SMU--both of which did basically anything new?

  • For The Experts: Quick Look and Cover Flow?

    Hi
    I have not been able to find the answer to my question anywhere on the internet. I thought that some of you experts out there may be able to help me.
    I deal with thousands of files all the time that are essentially text files (i.e .txt). I have one problem though. They end with the extension .01 for Jan, .02 for Feb etc. If I rename the extension on one of these files to .txt, I can view them in Cover Flow and I can also see the contents by using Quick Look.
    Unfortunately, I cannot rename the extensions on all these files to .txt, because they need to be sent to various departments and cannot be changed.
    Does anyone know if it is possible to make Cover Flow and Quick Look think that these are text files?
    Thanks...
    Brian.

    Hello. SetFile, just like any other console tool, can accept wildcards. For example:
    Set the attribute of all files in the directory named mydocs:
    <pre>
    /Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT /Users/whuggy/mydocs/*
    </pre>
    You can also use the more powerful 'find' command: Find all files in your 'mydocs' directory that ends with '.01' and set them as a text file:
    <pre>
    find /Users/whuggy/mydocs -name "*.01" -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT {} ';'
    </pre>
    This means: find stuff inside mydocs directory whose name ends with ".01"; on each item you find execute the command /Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT to it. The '{}' placeholder is substituted with the filepath of an item. And the ';' at the end designates the end of that command.

  • Finder Cover Flow is broken and doesn't show the correct file I click on

    When I go into my Downloads and press the spacebar to preview a photo, it will preview the photo before it for some weird reason.
    Example:
    I highlight and press space for "Photo 2", but instead it will show "Photo 1" in the Cover Flow and will Preview that instead.

    Totally broken for me too. This is a giant, gaping hole in the OS LOL. I fire up a Finder window w/ cover flow view, erase a file, and now the highlighted image in the list below is off by one file and it doesn't remove the preview of the just-deleted file in the Cover Flow pane. Sad. This is just an embarrassing bug Big A. How do you not fix this before going public with a major point release? Not to mention the scrolling issue.

  • Pages/Numbers 4.3 documents won't show Quick Look in Finder anymore?

    After being dissatisfied with the features and presentation of Pages and Numbers 5.0, I removed both apps from my Mac Mini—running Mavericks—and went back to using Pages/Numbers 4.3. However, I noticed that Finder no longer provided a Quick Look of either type of document (it just shows the generic Pages/Numbers 4.3 icon instead of content), even though they will open without a problem in the 4.3 apps. A few days later, I decided to downgrade to Mountain Lion—due to Mavericks performance issues—figuring it would fix the Quick Look issue, but it still persists. All other documents—images, video, PDFS, etc. Quick Look just fine.
    Any suggestions on how to get back Quick Look for my Pages/Numbers documents?

    It sounds like they are not Pages '09 files, they are files you have saved in Pages 5.2.
    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

  • Downloading Look and Feel icons

    I've downloaded the look and feel repository, which unzips to a jar file, that seems to do nothing when I run it. When training in Java we downloaded folders of gif files with button graphics on them, where can I find these?
    Thanks Derek

    Go ahead and unzip the jar file. A jar file is the same as a zip file, so you can unzip it. It should have all the icons in it.

  • Enable artist overview, cover flow on ipod AND artist column in iTunes...

    Greetingz
    Here's the problem:
    I want to enable the artist column in iTunes for all my music.
    I can already do this with genres and albums, and its so convenient.
    However the artist column is showing only "collections" instead of -+for example Abba, Aerosmith, ACDC, ..+-
    This is because I have put everything on Complication "Yes"
    and on my ipod classic complication in the music menu is 'clicked' off. Why? so the ipod doesn't show all covers separately in the cover flow. its all good on the ipod; I can also get a list of all artists and genres. But in iTunes the artist column only gives one category and thats "complications" not like abba aerosmith acdc you name it. How can I get this right for both the ipod (remember also the cover flow as well as the artists must work correctly) AND iTunes? I find this very complicated and one of the only things I am unable to figer out.
    Many many thanks to all who help!

    "Compilation" means that the album is one of those Time-Life type "Disco Hits" or "50's Greats" CDs that aren't by one artist. I would suggest either turning off compilations for everything or going through each song and filling in the "Album Artist" field.

  • Cover Flow Mix Up and Album Song Mix Up Question

    I just got an 80gb ipod and have all my songs on it now. i am just about finished with getting all of the album covers that i didnt have into my itunes now. i didnt get any of the album covers from itunes, i just did a search for all of em in google.
    anyways, for some reason i have one song from the red hot chili peppers greatest hits album (soul to squeeze) and if you click on get info and then click on artwork the correct cover is there but in the cover flow and album view its zz tops greatest hits cover and underneath it reads greatest hits and then underneath that its Various Artists. My Queen greatest hits album has the same zz top cover and reads the same as well, lol. i cant figure out how to fix this.
    one more thing before i go guys, i have a couple of albums where the songs are not together but the artist and album names are the same, ive retyped the artists name and album to see if i somehow made a mistake the first time but they are still seperate, what the heck else can i do. its annoying have an album where the songs are not together?
    once i fix these problems am i going to have to resynch my ipod again, i have 6thousand plus songs, that took forever the first time i did that. im hopin i can just plug the ipod into itunes and it will just fix what is different??
    thanks, guys
    Message was edited by: gconley

    nope, the songs are not mixed up at all. like i said, its just the album art and the artist name underneath the album which reads "various artists". my queen greatest hits and my red hot chili peppers greatest hits say the same thing and both have my zz top greatest hits album cover lol.
    now if you click get info on the album the artwork is the correct artwork which blows my mind.
    somebody please helps, its so annoying.
    thanks
    one more thing, do i have to resync my whole ipod again just to get the album artwork on there or is there a faster way than having to resync 6thousand plus songs?? ive actually never resync so maybe it will just add stuff thats different instead of just putting everything back on??

  • Cover Flow album art and scroll buttons scrambled (7.5)

    Hello, Everything has been fine with my i tunes but i opened it the other day and the cover flow view is playing up. All the album covers/podcast displays etc are just scrambled (a series of horizontal coloured lines like a faulty TV.)
    the scroll bar and the show full screen buttons are also shown scrambled. if you play a song the album art shows in the left corner fine but the flow art is still scrambled. any ideas anyone? i have tried lots of restarts but it is no better. the only thing i have done is windows update which did some .net updates. regards john

    They are all still there!
    7.3 is broken.
    I replaced it with 7.2 and all is well until they fix the problem. This list is full of this problem!

  • IPhone 4s cover flow slow down and jerky help

    Hi all
    i have copied my music over from my backup 3GS to iPhone 4s but in cover flow it is very very jerky and not as smooth at all, my 3gs is way smoother an much better than on the iphone 4s it even has problems loading the covers up as there is a delay in doing so as it seems to b slow
    whats happend there not as good as my 3GS
    So i tried to remove all songs and turned off the iPhone and powered the phone back up and put the music back on and its still jerky and not as smooth what the hells going on this phone should breeze through cover flow view
    My 3GS is still on iOS 4 does anyon have the same problems ? Try to scroll fast and it just jerks and slows down but like I say not on the 3gs
    Any help

    Hi, I have the same problem with my 4s.  After reading all the suggestion on this and simmilar forums I checked my picture files assigned to my albums.  I selected in iTunes an album, then right click to get pop up menu, selected "get info.  Then I went to artwork, copied it (right click, copy), then I copied the picture to picture editor to see the properties.  I noticed that some of my pictures assigned to albums are huge, something like 2000 x 2000 pix.
    When I repliced them with smaller ones, i.e. max 600 x 600, everything become smoth.  Now my cover flow work perfectly as it should be.  Definitly ther must be something wrong with iOS5 because before I did not notice such a problem on 3GS of 4 model, even I had the big picture assigned to the album
