File-Previews in KDE

Three things that bother me.
1. since KDE 4.5 the Folder-View Widget on the desktop doesnt show any file-previews anymore.
2. Compared to KDE 4.5 RC2 the file-preview in dolphin is much slower than before. If i have folders with a lot of files i have to wait up to 2 minutes (im on a T4200 2x2 GHz) until every preview is loaded. The same on Nautilus takes about 10-15 seconds
3. He doesnt store the previews. When i leave the folder all previews are delated and he have to re-load them... and yes i set him up not to do it
any ideas?
ok i take point 3 back. He stores the preview and is just awesomely slow in loading them. If i delete the previews with sweeper it takes even longer

Gif file preview stopped working

New computer. Gif file preview was working last night and now I'm just getting a still picture. I installed Photo Impact Pro and that program may have made some changes. I can't preview gifs in that program. Anyone know a way to restore this feature? I would like to be able to click on a gif file and see it move in preview like it was doing.

Hi,
First of all you have to make analysis of the issue.. why its comming..
thats why i had suggested you to uninstall your newer installed software.. by uninstalling them you can analyse the issue.
may be programme hadnt installed correctly thats why you are getting this error.
Please, try to troubleshoot the issue by your self.. uninstall the programme and then check.. if our .gif works with older programme perfectly then your newely installed programme having issue or it was not installed correctly..
you can install your uninstalled programme later to resolve that issue.

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

Time Machine - AppleXsoft - file preview and support

Deleted an external drive while trying to install Time Machine. Ran AppleXsoft but downloaded several thousand Jpegs and movies to desktop. Can't file preview like the software says because they say the file isn't suporte and my emails [email protected] keep bouncing back. Anyone been down this road? I have a Macbook Air.

aschmid wrote:
Yes you are right, I know it isn't supported - as so many other things but they work!
This one is notorious for working for a while, then . . . not.
In addition to the problems above I got a pop-up from Time Machine saying the backup file is broken and it needs to create a new one. I told it to go ahead and what happened is that it actually proceeded to DELETE the old backup file before creating a new one - there goes my several months of backup history!
Yes, just as it says in the message. See #C13 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
All I can say do now is connect my drive directly to my iMac and figure out a way how I can backup my other iMac and the MacBook I have. On the AE this just worked remotely.
Yeah. Until it didn't.
Really not much options here to backup a home with 3 Macs!?!
Sure there is. Back the others up to the same drive, over your network, via sharing. See #22 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for details and setup instructions.

Grid with File Preview (custom layout) in Acrobat X Pro Portfolios

In Acrobat 9 Pro, there was a Portfolio layout called Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios because it allows users to rapidly view PDFs within a portfolio. This was our primary reason for using Portfolios. Unfortunately, this important feature was removed in Acrobat X Pro resulting in clunky and very slow PDF viewing within a portfolio.
Is there a custom layout which emulates Grid with File Preview?
Thanks in advance.

PDF Portfolios arrived out of the blue with Acrobat 9 and have been somewhat of an experiment - Acrobat contains some to get you started, but by also releasing the SDK it was hoped that the Flex programming community would have provided an ecosystem to support Acrobat users who wanted more choice - so just as you can buy or download hundreds of templates for websites, you could find them for Portfolios too.
Unfortunately it hasn't happened, and the technological landscape has changed dramatically in the past three years - the rise of HTML5, dominance of tablets/iOS, security concerns and Adobe's repositioning of Flash in the marketplace have all affected the commercial viability of Flex as a career, and consequently the availability of free third-party Portfolio layouts. It would have been nice to see a vibrant community of people sharing their designs, but the reality is that the majority of custom PDF Portfolios are created for enterprises as part of their brand identity, and there is an obvious cost involved in hiring one of the small number of expert programmers (of which Joel Geraci is the #1) to do the work.
Adobe has never claimed that the layouts which ship with Acrobat were the best/only way to do things - just as with the default presets in Lightroom, they're examples of what can be done. With Acrobat X it became easier for non-programmers to style the layouts (via Themes) but there's no escaping the basic fact that making a layout itself is a Flex programming job, and not one you'd attempt as your first chunk of code.
When Acrobat 9 launched, I saw pretty equal levels of complaints that the bundled layouts were too boring and too flashy. The target was shifted in Acrobat X to a less corporate style, but again people loved and hated them in equal measure. Given how much work is involved in writing and testing each layout, you can't expect Adobe to release a version for everyone.
There were legitimate reasons why the bundled layouts from A9 weren't included in AX. Speaking personally I don't expect my assessment to change: Portfolios may stick around, they may not - it depends on a mountain of bigger questions about Web standards, device popularity, politics and economics which Adobe have no control over.

Grid with File Preview in Acrobat X Pro

In the previous version of Acrobat 9 Pro -- there was a layout call Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios, but in version 10 Pro -- I cannot find this layout anywhere.
Does anyone have a clue as to where I can set it to this layout? I have contacted Adobe Technical Support and they were unable to help me with the problem and another forum had users mentioning the same question, but never was resolved.
I would appreciate any productive feedback.

I was also lost when we upgraded to Acrobat X. I work for lawyers, and they always reviewed document productions (usually thousands of PDF files) using Acrobat 8. They didn't like the flying cards so we stopped using Acrobat X for file review. Also my portfolios bogged down so slow that it was impossible to quickly view the thousands of PDF files I'd previously packaged in Acrobat and indexed for searching. IT upgraded us 3 weeks before trial which really made my day!!
I just noticed that someone has created a custom NAV layout just like the Grid with File Preview and it's available for free download at http://blog.practicalpdf.com/2012/07/grid-with-file-preview-pdf-portfolio-layout-available -now/. I'm going to try it and hopefully start using Acrobat again.

Acrobat X Pro Missing Grid with File Preview Layout for Portfolios

In Acrobat 9 Pro, there was a Portfolio layout called Grid with File Preview. We use it as our primary layout for PDF portfolios because it allows users to rapidly view PDFs within a portfolio. This was our primary reason for using Portfolios. Unfortunately, this important feature was removed in Acrobat X Pro resulting in clunky and very slow PDF viewing.
Adobe needs to immediately reinstate Grid with File Preview into Acrobat X Pro. Until this happens, I will continue to use Acrobat 9 Pro.
I encourage everyone to use the Feature Request/Bug Report Form to submit this as a Bug. Unless everyone complains, nothing will happen.

Check out this free layout and instructions for installing. This is just what I've been looking for since we upgraded to Acrobat X. My attorneys hated reviewing thousands of PDF files that looked like flying cards. http://blog.practicalpdf.com/2012/07/grid-with-file-preview-pdf-portfolio-layout-available -now/

Why is my open window not centring the file previews?

Whenever I try to open a file in Illustrator CS6 I have to scale the open window across both of my monitors just to be able to see the file preview in the columns mode. If i with the viewing mode to the iTunes artworks style mode I can just barely see the file preview if I make the window the entire size of my main monitor. How can I fix this? See below for and examples:

jonnymo,
I believe I should have said Yosemite/Column view.
Has the issue appeared after an upgrade to Yosemite?

How do you set the default file manager in kde?

I'd like to set dolphin as the default file manager in KDE, how would I go about doing that? I have an installed working copy of dolphin on my comp right now.

pressh wrote:
associate dolphin as default for directories in control center.
kde components -> file associations -> inode -> directory
Thanks, but for some reason when I go in there and change it as a user, it doesn't save the setting, and it doesn't work. However, when I do the same thing as root it works, but of course, it only works for root then.
pressh wrote:
grizz wrote:but, it's several months waiting
and dolphin is nice
actually i think konqueror is more powerfull in kde3. However, the dolphin version in kde4 trunk is shaping up nice and looks promising.
Dolphin is a little bit less cluttered, and seems to be faster too. Most of the features in konquerer I never use.

Set nautilus as default file manager in kde?

I would give kde a good chance, but I have several issues with konqueror. Is it possible to set nautilus as the default file manager in kde? I have started nautilus from kde before.
Is this possible?

OK then. Install nautilus.
control center > file associations > inode > directory [ then add: "nautilus --no-desktop" ] (make sure it's primary in the list)
You'll not be able to open KIO slaves such as media:// with nautilus though. Maybe you should create launchers on the desktop running "nautilus --no-desktop computer://" etc?
There are some other cosmetic changes you can do as well, such as installing gnome-volume-manager, gnome-settings-dameon, gnome-control-center etc.
Another way is just to add "nautilus --no-desktop" as default application for inode > directory, but don't add it as *primary*, but secondary application, so you can right click and choose "open with nautilus" on the desktop/konqueror.
I've successfully run a complete nautilus desktop replacing konqueror as root window and file manager, and it works really good actually.
I did uncheck "icons on desktop" and disabled wallpaper in kcontrol.
Had to disable "hal backend" in kde to let gnome-volume-manager take care of hal mounts; "HalBackendEnabled=false" in .kde/share/config/mediamanagerrc
Then i had to run "gnome-settings-daemon &" in .kde/Autostart/startup (this file should be executable, as usual) (nautilus itself is a GUI application and will survive the next session on it's own, because of KDE session managment)
I took the easy route and installed the whole "gnome" metapackage instead of selective packages though.
The only problem was that kedit.desktop didn't want to start as default application for say, text files, but i had to enter kedit manually in that box you get during "open with dialog".
I bastardized KDE, i know
It was worth it! hehe
BTW dolphin/d3lphin is really good too, as lucke pointed out.

Server 2012 File Preview Locks Files

Hi everybody,
I recently reinstalled one of my customers server.
The previous installation was Server 2008 Foundation running RDS and the new installation Server 2012R2 Foundation (RDS).
With the previous installation it was possible to use the file preview for documents like Word and Excel or PDF in the explorer, and while these files were openend it was possible to delete them or move them.
With the new installation on Server 2012 it's not possible to delete or move these files when they are shown in the explorer preview.
Any ideas?
There is also another issue, it should be possible to preview saved e-mail (*.msg) conversations with the Windows Explorer when the 32-bit "Outlook 2013 / Office" version has been installed
This also doesn't work, the preview handler has not been made for x64 but for the x86 it should work. But it doesn't show the messages in the explorer.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hi Tim,
Turns out there is no Windows Server 2012 R2 foundation in our lab, I have tested this on a Windows 8.1 machine.
In my tests, there is no issue to delete Word and Excel files when there are in the Preview Pane, and saved email conversations can be viewed through the Preview Pane, also can be deleted.
As for PDF file, the Preview Pane is unavailable.
The preview of *.msg files still doens't work in the explorer.
I'm thinking that the Kerio plugin for Outlook is creating this issue...
Do you also have the same issue on other machines?
Regarding Outlook related issues, I suggest you also refer to experts from Outlook forums to see if they have more insights.

Question about image slideshow (like mac file preview)

Hello!Ι have a question about Adobe Edge.is it possible to create a photo slide show like mac's file preview? i mean smthg like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q727LqDIZKM

Hi, TasisGrafix2-
Edge Animate doesn't support css3d natively, but you can use a third party library such as edgehero.js to make this work.

How to enable TIF file preview?

Hi
I want to see Tif files preview like Jpeg files in my doc.
How I can do that?
Thanks

Hi Entezari,
Thanks for posting your query, If you use a picture library or asset library instead of a document library for your tiff's SharePoint will automatically generate a preview image for your tiff. Then you will be able to click on the enlarged versions of the tiff
directly in the browser. You can also upload the dwg files in a picture library or asset library.
Also, browse below mentioned URLs for more details on this

Adobe reader file preview type library reference

Where I will may see adobe reader file preview type library reference?

I would guess that this interface is registered and used by Windows to generate previews for Explorer. It is not supported or documented, but if it does that, it won't have anything to do with text extraction.
Adobe Reader has a supported interface for displaying in a window.
For a text extraction API you'd want Acrobat, which would allow you via VBA to run JavaScript to get text quads.
Note that this is not for server use. If you want server text extraction consider Adobe's PDF iFilter. This is unusual in that it is supported but is not in the SDK; Microsoft define the interfaces to iFilters, not Adobe.
If you have further questions about Acrobat or Reader development, I'd recommend that you post in the Acrobat SDK forum, to reach the right experts.

How to connect to Azure Files (preview) share?

I enabled Azure Files preview.
I follow this article: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazurestorage/archive/2014/05/12/introducing-microsoft-azure-file-service.aspx
I created new storage account called loremipsum. Using powershell, I created new storage share called loremipsum-01. Called
New-AzureStorageDirectory command to test create directory. It succeeded.
I went to command prompt and called this command:
net use z: \\loremipsum.file.core.windows.net\loremipsum-01 /u:loremipsum blablablablablablamyaccesskey==
Result:
System error 64.
Network name is undefined.
How should I connect to this share, so I can use it as mapped folder in explorer?
