Flecks on thumbnails in Filmstrip views

My Bridge display is messed up in my main computer, in both Horizontal and Vertical filmstrip view. Some thumbnails display correctly. Others don't appear at all. Others have rows of flecks all over them.
This is only true in filmstrip view - all thumbnails display correctly in Thumbnails view, without flecks; and all files open in PS CS3 correctly. But I use filmstrip view a lot, and I'd like to get it back.
So far I've tried:
- purging the cache
- manually deleting the cache from C:\Documents and Settings\Mary\Application Data\Adobe\Bridge CS3\Cache\data...
- rebuilding the cache
- resetting my Bridge prefs by opening Bridge with Ctrl, Shift and Alt held down and selecting the 'reset all' option
- changing the quality of the thumbnails display and the size of the cache
- resetting my Photoshop prefs, just in case.
Nothing has worked. Is this a known problem?
I have an identical PS CS3/Bridge installation in my laptop. The display there is fine. Maybe I could cure the problem in the desktop by copying Bridge files from my laptop. But which files?
Thanks
Mary

Problem solved - thanks a lot!
The 'flecks' were rows of small light-coloured wedges running horizontally across landscape files, or vertically up and down portrait files, as if they had been rasped - or 'scrambled', a word I found in an Adobe technote after getting your post.
I do have 128 MB of VRAM in my 4-year-old computer, but I also have lots of image files. I never had the problem before this month - maybe adding a few hundred more files finally overloaded the card's capacity?
Best wishes

Filmstrip View in the Browser

I understand that there are three views in the Browser: Grid, List, and Filmstrip. The filmstrip view is only available when the Browser is set to "Split View". I know how to cycle through the views (press V) and they all work fine. My question is, where is the "Filmstrip view" icon that is shown in the Aperture 3 User's Manual on p 187 in Chapter 5? The manual says that this icon is only available in when the main view is set to split view layout. If I do this, all of those icons disappear. Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

I finally figured this out. In order to see the view grid, filmstrip and list buttons while in the "Split View" view, one needs to go to View>Browser>Show Sort & Filter Controls or use Shift-Command-F to toggle these buttons. I knew it was something simple, but it did take me awhile to find the right command. Just thought I'd post this in the hopes of helping someone else.

Is there anyway to have a PSE type filmstrip view of all open images in PhotoshopCS4?

PSE 7 has a scrolling filmstrip view of all open images at the bottom of the workspace, making it very easy to see and select all open images. Is there anyway to have this feature in Photoshop CS 4?

Not really, but you can experiment with the drop-down menu in the top bar.

Clip appearance not displaying in event browser in filmstrip view

Some of the clips in the event browser don't display a visual in the filmstrip view until I skim over it. Any clue?

Here is a solution to the problem:
In the Finder -> Go -> Go to Folder,
enter /Users/Your user name//Movies/iMovie Library.imovielibrary/Name of Event/
(Name of Event is exactly as it appears in the Event Browser)
Select Go
This takes you to the folder in iMovie Library for that event, and you will see the contents of that folder as several folders and perhaps a file. One of the folders is Original Media. Open that folder and you will see individual files of the individual clips contained in that Event. Delete the file of choice in the usual OS X way. iI will then appear in the Trash folder. Empty the trash and it is gone.
This solution was suggested by Shirt Pocket Support, which provides technical help for the backup app SuperDUper. I am indebted to them.

.mp4 and .avi video thumbnails in finder view

Hi, Some of my .mp4 and .avi video files have a thumbnail in finder view and some don't... Does anyone know how I can solve this?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Maybe, but maybe not. I use DigitalMedia Converter to convert to DV-AVI Type II's (I'm only doing SD), and it has a Split function. However, I have never used that, so do not know how well it might work for your needs, if at all. I just do not know. I believe that Deskshare has a user forum, and that might be a good place to try, after you've looked down their FAQ's.
I hope that others will have a definitive answer for you, with iron-clad suggestions.

Filmstrip view of photos - images

Does anyone know how to display a filmstrip view of photos or images in a SAP GUI similar to the standard XP functionality ?
[http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/windows_view_filmstrip.mspx?mfr=true]
I foresee a few options / assumptions:
Storage
1) Photos on SAP Server disk
2) Photos on Network server
3) Photos on ArchiveLink server
Display
1) Standard Dynpro GUI
2) WebDynpro
Can a filmstrip be shown using Standard Dynpro?
Is WebDynpro flexible enough to do such a task?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Olivier

Hi Olivier,
As far as I know, from the Standard SAP GUI Functionality there is no such Filmstrip Functionality. As per the Filmstrip behavior, each time the user presses any button, an user action is triggered. But this in Standard Dynpro can only be captured in PAI Event.
Also, in the SAP Control Framework, there are no controls which will meet your requirement. But there are some events which you can use to come up with a feature of Tabstrip Control. The events are like Single Mouse Click, Double Mouse Click, and etc. Based on the type of controls like Tree or Simple List you can create a Filmstrip control. You can use these features to come up with your own development.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Samantak.

Why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

why when I publish template to FCPX the design appears as a thumbnail but the view shows the red warning screen with the Number 2?

That is priceless!!! Thanks! I sure needed a good laugh after spending/wasting hours & days trying to either get my c6280 to give up on its Ink System Failure fixation, or find a decent replacement. Unfortunately I need the Smart Web Printing feature that I guess only HP has, or I'd try a different brand. And now even HP has very few models with that available.
My error msg is a little different from those previously stated, but close: 0xc18a0201. Even tho there were frustrations with my c6280, I did like several of its unique features which are hard to find now under $100. I hate how HP (& I suppose other brands also) are CONSTANTLY changing models & then of course ink cartridges.
Oh heavens, I've had the c6280 a whopping 2 1/2 years! I'm sure they want us poor slobs to have to buy a new one every year & a day! To say nothing of the exorbitant prices for ink. And now if this one is really dead in the water, I have SIX unused #02 ink cartridges which I cannot return---I got them in a combo pack, & for some reason have wound up with THREE lite pink & THREE lite blue cartridges, while having to buy extras of the other colors, that ran out before the others!!! Yeah, & what's with that not being able to print in BLACK if a color runs out????
Anyway I really loved your essay! It's a classic! And says it all! I hate that we have to be 'slaves' to the electronic 'wonders'!!!

Perhaps you could show us a screen capture of ACDsee Pro so we can see what you are talking about.

Can't see full picture in photobook only the thumbnail on page view

I made a photo book of my wedding and everything looked good. Then one day i opened it up to look at it and order the book and now all i can see for one of the pictures is the thumbnail at the top of the screen. It does not show up in the main view of the book and if i double click on the picture it goes to full screen and i see it for a split second then it dissapears to black. If I do a preview of the book that whole page of the book just shows up as a blank page.

d_b:
What has happened is the iPhoto database file has been damaged/corrupted somehow. It can happen if the user has renamed or moved any files or folders inside the iPhoto Library from the Finder or if there's been some sort of interruption while iPhoto is writing to that file. Since you're already tried rebuilding the library unsuccessfully, I believe your only option is to create a new library and import the Originals folder from the old one as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

PS icons show instead of photo thumbnails on Picture Viewer

I've loaded CS3 on a new laptop---Windows 7. CS3 Bridge and Photoshop work great, however the thumbnails show the PS icon instead of the photo in picture viewer. I'm sure I'm missing a file or have one in the wrong location. Any idea how to repair the problem?
Thank you! Randy Black

Thanks for your speedy reply, Curt! Just the RAW icons are showing up---the JPEG's are OK. I do have ACR 4.6 loaded in the following location:
Program files (X86)/common files/adobe/plug-ins/CS3/file formats. The file is Camera Raw, Type 8BI. I also checked in the "other" Adobe file to make sure I didn't have a duplicate of the RAW file there-looks OK. Bridge works great-just showing the PS icon in the "Picture Viewer."
I've evidently accidently deleted a file today as I have been able to view RAW thumbnails until today.
Thanks again! Have a great week!

Can't drag & drop thumbnails in grid view

Version 1.2: While in Grid view, I am unable to drag and drop thumbnails to manually sort. I am grabbing from the center of the thumbnail and the thumbnail turns to the dotted rectangle. However, when I drag, nothing happens.
Has anybody encountered this?
Thank you.

Shut off include photos from subitems.
This exact question was answered yesterday.

Cannot see thumbnails in Organize view in iPhoto 4

When I download new photos or look at one of my saved rolls, the pictures are all there but I cannot see them in the thumbnail view, only one at a time, so I cannot organize them into albums. This has happened since last October--prior to that, the thumbnails were there. Did I mess something up in another folder somewhere?
Thank you
Crablady

Hi, crablady, and welcome to Apple Discussions. It's very unlikely that you've caused your problem by meddling with any "other" folder. But if, back in October, you meddled with the contents of the iPhoto Library folder inside your Pictures folder when the iPhoto application wasn't open, that explains your problem.
Hold down the Shift and Option keys while starting iPhoto, and keep holding them down until you're asked whether you want to rebuild the library. Click "Yes", then click "Save".
This will create a new, rebuilt iPhoto Library_1 folder inside your Pictures folder. If it opens up properly in iPhoto, displaying things as you expect it to, you can trash the Original iPhoto Library folder and empty the trash to recover storage space. If the new library isn't right either, trash it instead of the original iPhoto Library folder, and post back here for further advice.
When iPhoto isn't running, it expects you to leave the contents of your iPhoto Library folder strictly alone. Everything in that folder is arranged precisely the way iPhoto needs it to be arranged, and any disturbance in there will throw things out of whack.

No thumbnail images when viewing pictures folder via desktop & screensaver

When I go into system preferences and then Desktop & Screensaver I chose the pictures folder. It does not show any thumbnail images of any of the contents of my Pictures Folder, yet clicking on a blank area of space applies a desktop???? I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?

There may be some minor issue or glitch in the system; and perhaps even
starting up in SafeBoot and using Disk Utility's repair disk permissions, then
quitting the utility, and restarting normally may help repair this situation.
Some file types, in some cases, may not appear in icon or thumbnail view;
and there are a few image editor applications whose custom icon thumb-
nail views actually appear as a generic icon w/o an image; but an original
import from a camera will have the correct thumbnail captured by Finder
and/or Preview (or iPhoto) by first-contact with the image from the camera;
but Photoshop or other third party shareware or freeware may not show one.
For a normal situation where a thumbnail image icon should be present:
Open up a finder window and do like this: from Finder=View=Show View Options
=Show Icon Preview. That will give you a thumbnail view of whatever document it is.
You can select to do this setting for all windows
Apparently your situation is different in that there may be a permissions or other
issue going on in the system; so try routine maintenance and also see if the images
are in the correct location for the system to see them. If the system is really messed
you may have to consider repairing it; try booting from the native disk utility in OS X
boot/installer disc, repair disk and repair disk permissions; then reboot using Startup
Disk in the boot disc's utilities menu (in installer menubar) and immediately press &
hold the Shift key on startup to engage SafeBoot; and re-repair disk permissions
from the System's hard drive located Disk Utility to re-correct these permissions, as
they will probably not be proper for the fully updated system running in the computer.
Then restart normally.
There may be file damage, so if that is discovered through additional troubleshooting,
you may have to consider a new system folder, as in "Archive & Install" then update.
Repair disk permissions between all update & install steps of system and other software.
If you have and use a utility interface tool such as OnyX (runs free, is donationware) from
Titanium Software, download from their site; and run all the checkbox items in Automation,
and then restart the computer - or set its preferences to do that also, automatically - this
may help general system health. It may not be able to fix something deeper in the system;
but a third party disk utility such as DiskWarrior or Drive Genius2 may help in other matters.
In some cases, depending on what images are involved and where they came from, be
they a chosen set of personal images you've directed the system to use as background
desktop images in Finder, or a set of Apple-supplied images, the results can be different.
I use a folder of camera created scenics as desktop backgrounds and use ToyViewer to
edit and rotate at a most basic level, since I try to make photos in the camera and not edit.
Sometimes, these will have generic non-image icons and not thumbnails; there is a way
to work around the issue should a whole folder of them go bad or change over w/o notice.
Hopefully someone who has fixed this problem will write a follow up; it is getting late in my
timezone and I am running on empty per this topic, among others... You may resort to an
Apple help or Apple Support documents search for a matching topic. That's a huge library.
Good luck & happy computing!

Filmstrip view

I know that in the file room you can view photo files using the Windows Filmstrip option and actually see the picture without actually opening the file. A very handy tool it is!
However, I am not able to do this with the Adobe pdf files - it only shows the logo. I am currently running Adobe Acrobat 6.0 standard. I understand you can do this with the Bridge, but it would require me purchasing another product in order to accomplish this.
I have also been told that there is an add-in that will do this.
Can you point me in the right direction?
