Enabling SVG thumbnail previews in Finder (?)

I would like to be able to browse sets of SVG files from within Finder...Is there any easy way to do something like this? I am not sure if it is possible in Leopard, or if there is third party software. I would prefer not to run additional software to do something so simple...
Thanks for any help!

I thought this had solved this problem, but unfortunately, this does not work when I'm trying to attach images to an e-mail. I open 'attachments' in Hotmail, & it brings up the Finder window, but of course the menu bar at the top is not the Finder menu - it's the Google Chrome/Firefox menu bar (or whatever browser I'm using). So there is no option to 'show status bar'. This is actually incredibly annoying, as when the thumbnails are tiny & I'm trying to selct from a large number of photos, it's very hard to see which ones I wanted to send. I end up having to write down all the image numbers first. This cannot surely be how a Mac is supposed to work in the 21st century?..!
I would be very grateful for any other ideas...

Large thumbnail previews in Finder?

Is there any way I can select LARGE thumbnail previews for images on my hard drives in the 'Finder' window? I.e. like in Windows Explorer; where you can actually see the image? I have 1000's of photos, & if I'm searching for a specific image I really need to be able to see the thumbnail clearly or it will take me hours to find the photo I'm looking for. At the moment they are tiny-weeny & I can't see anything at all of the image.Thanks.

Missing image thumbnail/preview in finder?

When scrolling through image files (jpg) within finder as organized in "column view," I used to be able to select an image just once (not opening up the preview application) but seeing a little thumbnail in the column view within finder. This was the case up until Mountain Lion. Does anyone know how to regain this feature?

Just kidding...found it in VIEW menu

Thumbnail previews in OSX

Hey guys
I'm having alot of issues with thumbnail previews in Finder ever since I updated to Mavericks. Basically, any TIF-files that include layer masks won't show a preview at all in Finder. I just get the static TIF-file graphics, but no actual preview. Has anyone else encountered this issue? I have enabled to maximise compatability in Photoshop CC, and all the files are either 16 or 18 bit files.

I'm getting the exact same issue since upgrading. They seem to come and go occasionally though which doesnt make sense. These files are 8 and 16 bit. Its really starting to impact on productivity too, not good.

10.9.5 with camera raw 5.07 not showing .RW2 and DNG but showing .CR2 previews in finder

Even with the latest OS and latest camera raw, only my Canon raw image files display proper previews in the finder, and open properly with iPhoto and Photoshop. .RW2 and .DNG files will not show previews or open with iPhoto, and .RW2 files won't even open in Photoshop without being converted to DNG. I've combed the support community questions for over a year now, am tech support oriented, and am ready to throw in the towel. I've had this same problem with previous system versions and camera raw versions, so I know the solution lies with neither of the two.

I'm having exactly the same issue and I posted on Adobe's site and dpreview and StackExchange but nobody has the final answer. I can see thumbnail previews in finder with ALL my various Raw files (Olympus OMD EM1, Panasonic GH2 and GH3, and Nikon D5300) just fine but when I use the convert to DNG feature in Lightroom (latest version since I'm on the CC subscription), only the Nikon DNG files display a preview thumb in finder and neither the Oly or Panny DNG files display. The closest I got to an explanation is that, since the m4/3 cameras do their profiling in camera and Adobe doesn't have a profile for them, some of the info isn't converted into the DNG in those systems. The article I read about it was really about Aperture not being able to read the Adobe DNG files but it may also explain why Mac finder can't show preview thumbs. Aperture 3: Some DNG images display as unsupported - Apple Support
If there is no way to get preview thumbs in finder with the converted RAW files from my GH3 then I'll forgo converting for now.
Here is my Nikon DNG
And my Panny DNG (Oly is the same)
Panny RAW shows up just fine
As does the Oly ORF

Can anybody help... I need to enable thumbnail preview in Win7 64bit

Can anybody help... I need to enable thumbnail preview in Win7 64bit
I have tried the Adobe regfix and no luck at all
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Yes, many of us know how to optimize pl/sql code. And yes, seeing the code is a pretty crucial component of optimizing it. However, seeing the code may be insufficient. A slow sql statement is not necessarily visibly different from a fast one.
I suggest that you pare your procedure down to the bare minimum that performs poorly and then post that. Of course by doing so you may well discover the problem yourself (which is how most of us learned).

Finder thumbnail previews stop displaying after a bit.

My co-worker and I both have 27" iMacs running Mac OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. We have tons of image files (many are .eps) that we go though to grab clip art from during the day. We generally rely on looking at the preview of these, however the thumbnail preview in icon view stops displaying images after looking scrolling through for a bit. I usually can't generate any more thumbnail previews after about a third of my work day is over, making it difficult to see which images to choose. Quick Look still works though. Any ideas? (And yes, I do have "Show Icon Preview" checked in the finder's view options.)

Best I can think of is that some cache is filling up, or getting so large Finder is having difficulty managing it.
You might run Disk Utility to see if there's any problems with the hard drive.
Are both Macs doing this? Do they have separate hard drives for these files, or are you sharing a drive, like a network drive?
How full is the hard drive?
I tried opening and closing folder after folder of image files (ones with thumbnails) while Activity Monitor was up and running, and Finder uses more and more memory the more folders I opened; closing them did not fully return the memory usage to a pre-opening level. Seemed to be a steady growth in Finder's memory usage as more and more such folders were opened and closed.

Disable / Turn off Thumbnail / Icon Preview in Finder?

Can't find any new/recent posts to solve this issue. I want to disable/turn-off the little icon preview in finder.
I have to access a lot of images on a server at work. Image files(jpeg, eps, tiff, psd, ai, ect) that are typically 50MB and higher. So you can only imagine the amount of lag I get and the time I waste every time I click on a folder in list view.
Is there any way to disable it? Just have it show a standard icon file type instead of it loading 100+ 8MB images in little tiny icons?
I've already tried the View -> Show View Options -> unchecked 'Show icon preview' and applied it as 'Use as default'
Its turn off for all folders but it is still loading the mini icon preview.
(I'm on a Mac Pro - Mountain Lion)

I've tried reinstalling Mavericks and I'm still having this issue. I'm considering wiping my drive and going back to Mountain lion. Qucktime player in Mavericks seems to suck. I'm having several other issues playing back older quictime files. Most play in Quicktime 7 but a lot have no quicklook previews. The sheer volume of prores files I shoot makes this extremely inconvenient for me. How can Apple not support their own Codec????

Thumbnail view in Finder

Is therea thumbnail/preview view in Finder. I found the column view which will preview a selected document. I'm looking for a view that will display thumbnail previews of all documents in a folder, just by viewing the folder.

If there are images such as Jpegs you can usually view them in Icon mode (right of the column view on the top nav bar). If you need them to be bigger go to the
Finder menu: --> View --> Show View options (apple + J) --> Icon Size.
Just remember that all of your icons will be enlarged. And you will have to do the reverse (also in the main finder window) to change them back.

How to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder?

Is there a way to rotate a thumbnail image in Finder? When I click a photo in a Finder folder, the image automatically opens in Preview and the image is correctly displayed right side up. But the thumbnail image is displaying a vertical photo horizontally. Can I rotate the thumbnail?

corelle,
please open the sidebar of the Preview window and check how the thumbnail is displayed there.
If the orientation is wrong in the Preview sidebar as well, then apparently some program rotated the image but not the EXIF preview image, which is obviously not a good thing.
If the orientation is correct in the Preview sidebar, but wrong in the Finder, then the file probably has a custom icon with wrong orientation. This should then be removed rather than rotated. It's useless anyhow because Snow Leopard's Finder can better use the EXIF preview image instead.

Acrobat Pro 9 - Disable thumbnail preview in PDF file icons on Desktop

After upgrading to Acrobat Pro 9, the file icons of PDF files on my Windows 7 desktop changed to showing a thumbnail preview. I want to get the standard PDF file icon back for all PDF files. Can someone please tell me how?
Thanks.

Did you ever find an answer for this??? I had the same issue and was searching for an answer. I saw this and since I fixed mine I thought I would tell you what I did. Also, in case someone else finds this and needs an answer.
Opened Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options
Go to the View tab
Check "Always show icons, never thumbnails"
Hit Apply
All your PDF files on your desktop should now show with the generic PDF icon.
Reverse this to get the preview icon "thumbnails".

Icon preview in finder window

How do I get a thumbnail preview to show up as the icon when looking at a file list in a finder window?
I can't find any pref settings to that effect.
Thanks.

rileyman...
I was thinking along that line but the confusing part was putting it all into words. But the unfortunate thing there has to be some stripped data for it not to be seen there properly. Perhaps EXIF data, of which stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, that I am a bit clueless on any fixes. What I do know is that Preview.app is the worse for stripping that out on an export. Then the preview icon gets tagged into the picture rather than seeing the true picture from within the "Finder Preview Window"
What I do is to coral them up into single folder for opening within another application. iPhoto is ok at times, but I have more luck with Photoshop - Elements.
If you are photo application deprived, check over any camera, printer or scanner software that you have that may contain some freebies. Or feel free to see this website. There is a few image browsers there.

No prores422 Quicktime icon preview in finder OSX Mavericks

I upgraded to Mavericks osx 10.9 and now I no longer get a thumbnail preview on my prores quicktime files in the finder o. I do get a preview with any other type of quicktime codecs the only affected files are prores files. I shoot a lot on the blackmagic cinema camera and it's not good for me just to see a Q on those thumbnails. I'm a Final Cut Pro X user so I have the proper codecs to view the files. I have tried the view options and it does not affect Prores files. I've also downloaded the latest codecs from apple. So I want to know I'm I the only person this is happening to? I'm thinking I may need to reinstall mavericks but before I do that I need to know if anyone else is experiencing this? I have attached a screen capture to illustrate what I'm talking about. Quicklook does still work on the prores files but I need that thumbnail.

I've tried reinstalling Mavericks and I'm still having this issue. I'm considering wiping my drive and going back to Mountain lion. Qucktime player in Mavericks seems to suck.

Thumbnail Preview for RAW Files Not Appearing in Bridge

Hello,
I'm running Adobe Bridge 5.1 on a Mac OS 10.9.2 (recently upgraded to Maverick) and I can no longer see thumbnail previews for my RAW files (which include .NEF, .CR2 and .RAF) though as of a few days ago this wasn't a problem. Not sure if it's related to the Maverick upgrade... but FYI, I do see thumbnail previews for .TIFF and .JPEG files.
I've already purged my cache generally and have also as a test chosen a local file to purge - that didn't work.
I've restarted Bridge at least 2x by pressing and holding the Option key.
I've also checked for Bridge updates - everything is up to date.
My Cache Options (within Preferences) are set to "Keep 100% Previews in Cache" and "Automatically Export Cache to Folders When Possible" - both checked.
Also downloaded the Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter 8.3, installed it but that didn't work.
I can't seem to find my Bridge cache folder or at least what's in the Library's "Caches" folder doesn't include anything for Bridge - see screenshot below.
Please help! Thank you in advance.

To me it seems related to your Adobe Camera Raw (ACR) converter. Clue inhere is you only miss the Raw files and have no problems in seeing other formats like jpeg and tiff.
The screenshot you delivered is from the wrong library, however, this same library (the one on system level) also is the location where you should be able to view the correct version of your ACR plugin. The path: library (same as per your screenshot)/Application support/ Adobe/ Plug ins/ CS6/ File Formats. inhere should be only one version of Camera Raw (called: "Camera Raw.plugin") and this should show version 8.3 (141).
I'm not sure about your bridge version number, Bridge 5 comes with PSCS6 but my most recent version of Bridge is 5.0.2.4.
Anyway, if you have only one ACR (8.3) installed in the above mentioned path then you might want to try to delete the Bridge plist file and Bridge cache file manually.
For this you have to Quit Bridge and find the user library (by default hidden, use menu Go in Finder and press option key to reveal).
Inhere find the plist file (user(your user name) / library / Preferences and inhere find and manually delete the file called: "com.adobe.bridge5.plist"
The in same user library find Bridge Cache. User/Library/Caches/Adobe/Bridge CS6. Inhere are 2 files, the adobe Bridge plug in cache and the folder called Cache. delete (or move outside libray) both items.
The restart Bridge (If needed also again hold option key to reset preferences) and this will create fresh files for the previous deleted items, leaving you with an almost out of the box factory set version of Bridge.
