Folder image

hi, when trying to replace the boring folder icon with a .jpeg image, sometimes you get the image, but most of the time you get the file name displayed
any ideas how i can get round this ?
thanks

The icons for jpeg files are many and various. They are held in the file's resource fork and can be changed by different applications, as well as by the little application that I provided you a link to.
There is no difference between a standard jpeg file and and a picture jpeg file, the data is the same, the icon in the resource fork is the only difference.
If you copy one of those 'picture" icons and cannot paste it as a picture icon onto another jpeg image, I have not experienced this inability, and so have no idea why it won't work for you.

Graphic Image for Folder Image in Finder

I have created a few folders in finder\applications to group apps together. For example, I have created a folder for iLife apps. When I open Applications, the iLife group shows as a plain folder image labeled iLife. I would like to customize the folder image by adding my own graphic. Is there a way to do this? View options only lets me choose a photo for the background which is not what I want.
Bob in Portland

OK, I used to do this manually by slected Arrangeby name form the view menu, since you mentioned it i have now selected view by name through the View Options menu item not sure if that will make a difference,
Thanks for that.
Any ideas about the second part of my problem?
Thx

New Folder Image Looks Like Document Image

I read somewhere that you could change icons to anything you wanted. I went ahead and did this and it went perfectly. I then looked into this further and found that you could change the defult folder image to anything you wanted, so that when you created a new folder it wouldnt be the boring blue. I followed the instructions and went to the following folder:
/System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/
In this folder, I found the icon called GenericFolderIcon.icns. I replaced that with the same name and restarted the dock using the killall Dock command in terminal, nothing happened and I tried some similar things until I finally removed the actual icon from the Resources folder, brought it to my desktop, found the image I wanted, renamed said image, and put the new image into the Resources folder. My folders now look like a blank document, as opposed to what I wanted them to look like. Below I have attached 2 images. An image of the desired folder and an image of what the folders look like now. I also tried removing the icon image and restarting to comuter in hopes that the computer would generate a new icon, this did not happen.
^Current Folder Image^ ^Desired Folder Image^

You can't convert an image into a text layer. What you can do is clip an image to a text layer so that just the image layer shows up where there is text. Create a text layer, then above it put your image layer. Hold down the alt/opt key and click between the two layers to clip them.

Change File/Folder images in Flexible UI

Hi,
I want to change the file and folder images in e.g ConsumerColumns Layout set. I've changed the "File Image Path" in the corresponding ResourceRenderer for ConsumerColumns layut set. In the Online help, it says : "Only specify the file name and subdirectory (if needed) in the input field.
" . So, I've copied my image to etc/public/mimes/images and have written "mypic.jpg" to the "File Image Path". But it did not work. I've tried writing the full path for the image but it did not work either.
I'm usin EP6 SP2 P5.
Regards
Ahmet

Well, I am working in the FlexUI team, so I know things here and there...
With "unstructured vs. structure coll. renderers" I refer to the following: A collection renderer can take the task of structuring the output. In case of a list renderer, for instance, it provides the "outer" structure of a list, asking the resource renderer to render individual properties one at a time. So the collection renderer has the control over the overall layout and can align properties e.g. in columns. That's why for such a collection renderer, the properties that should be rendered are configured in the collection renderer rather than the resource renderer.
Opposite to this, collection renderers can also ask the resource renderer to render everything it wants. This is what e.g. the Grid or Tree renderer does. In this case, the configuration on resource renderer level determines what properties will be displayed, and how inside of the allocated space. But you will have no overlying structure for the individual properties.
Hope this makes it a little clearer...

Folder Image Counts in LR not updating

LR Version Running: v4.1
Catalog Size: 27176 images spreadout over approximately 150 folders
Primary Problem: The image counts represented on folders in LR are not reflecting accurate counts until I run "Synchronize Folder" option. This occurs on a fairly frequent basis and in a number of cases I can reproduce the problem.
History: This missing of images in a folder has been plaguing me since the initial release of LR. During that time I opened a case and Adobe Technical Support who took over my desktop and were also able to reproduce the problem. They had no fix but said that it was a software bug and would be corrected in a subsequent release. I am now on LR 4.1 and it still is present.
Specific Examples:
1) I will go to a folder looking for an image that I know at one time was visible in LR but now it no longer is there. So, I search for it using LR on such attributes as filename or keywords without success. I then open up Windows Explorer and navigate to the folder and there it is. I can even right-click on the file name and open it up in Adobe Photoshop. I don't like going that route because I lose any adjustments I may have applied in LR. So my solution has been to right-click on the folder of the file that is missing the image(s) and select "synchronize folder". I am then presented with a dialog box that displays the number of missing (that LR calls"new") photos. Next, I click on the "Synchronize" button in which I am then presented with the import screen and shown the missing images. I then click on "Import" button and when the updating process is finished the folder Count is now correct and image shows up in the folder.
2) I can reproduce this behavior every time when I open an image in PS from LR, duplicate it, convert the duplicate to Black & White (Image-->Adjustments-->"Black & White"), apply an action to reduce the file size and change the color space, and then save it as a jpeg in a folder called "web" sitting under the original source folder. After saving it the count on the folder does not change, at least not until I go through the "Synchronize Folder" process. Ironically, if I now go to the original color image that the B&W was duplicated from and convert and save it as a jpeg to the same folder the folder updates immediately.
3) After importing a large number of images from a photo session into LR (via a card reader) I will delete the unwanted images, assign a subject specific naming convention to the remaining ones, attach keywords, and then use the export function to transfer them to their various subject related folders for long-term storage. Since missing images has been a long-standing problem for me, out of paranoia I will go to the folders to verify that the images are present For example, recently I exported 50 images to a folder and then went to it to verify all the images transferred correctly. I was unable to find five of the images. After running "Synchronize Folder" the folder amount was updated in the images appeared in the folder. All of files in this case were Canon RAW (CR2).
The above are just a few of the examples that I am dealing with on a fairly consistent basis. I also have a friend who also is experiencing the same problem but is using a different workflow. I would very much appreciate it, if anybody who has encountered this probably before and found a solution, would be willing to share their fix to it. Thank you in advance for considering my inquiry.

web-weaver,
Thank you for your insightful reply. It got me thinking regarding my example #2 above and spurred me on to do some additional testing. What I did was create a directory called "web" under the source file one. I have about 2000 RAW images waiting for processing so I randomly grabbed one and did my normal CTRL-E to bring it into CS6. Below are the tests I made and their results:
a) Image was not duplicated but my custom action to resize it for the web was applied and then saved in the "web" folder as a jpeg using "Save-As" option. I did this for a number of files and each time the folder count incremented correctly.
b) Image was loaded into CS6 and then immediately duplicated. I then selected the orginal (not the copy) and the same procedure in "a" above was followed and the image count for the folder incremented and the folder count was verified as correct.
c) Image was loaded into CS6 and then immediately duplicated. I then applied my custom action on the copy and followed the identical save steps as in the above examples. The counter FAILED to increment. I then looked in the folder and the image was not showing so I performed the "Synchronilze Folder" and that fixed the missing image and count problem. I repeated this example several times and all with identical results.
Conclusion on my "Specific Example 2": It appears that the "Save-As" is not the issue, The real problem is my forgetting that LR is a database that keeps track of images via an index. So when I duplicate the image in Photoshop it is not realistic to expect LR to even know the existence of the duplicate until it is saved in one of its established folders and the index on that folder is refreshed (I am assuming that is what "Synchronize Folder" function is performing). So as far as I would conclude this is normal database behavior.
Regarding my 3 example, thanks for your inputs on workflow. For the sake of brevity I did not relay the full detail of mine. As a very brief but still inadequate explanation, the RAW files that I bring into LR are kept in the holding folder for 3 reasons. The first is to review all and eliminate ones that I will not be retaining. Secondly, the remaining ones ("keepers") are then renamed and key words are assigned and then exported into their long term storage folders that get backed up each night. Finally, the ones still in the holding folder are now ready for processing the jpegs that will go into separate folders for my web site and iPad portfolio. As I process each CR2 file it is then deleted from the working directory leaving only the ones I still need to process. I suspect there are better ways of doing this but so far it has worked very efficiently for me since LR came out. With regards to the problem of LR randomly losing track of some images across all of my image folders you might be right that the "Preference" file is getting corrupted. From my past discussions with Adobe Tech Support it seems that we did delete the existing one letting a new one get generated but I seem to recall that effort did not provide any remedy.
Thanks again for your reply and thoughts. They were much appreciated.

Is it possible to replace the folder image in the bookmarks list with little images to help identify the folder. I see that many places I have bookmarked automatically come with a little picture (the CBS "eye", New York Times Old English Script).

When I open my list of bookmarks most of the folders I have established have only the little file folder icon to the left. I would like to replace this file folder with some little picture or symbol to make the folders more easily identifiable. Is this possible?

There aren't extensions that can replace the favicon of a bookmarks folder AFAIK, so you will have to do that via code in userChrome.css in the chrome folder below the @namespace line.
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/userChrome.css
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Editing_configuration
You can use the ChromEdit Plus or Stylish extension to have easier access to the customization files.
*ChromEdit Plus: http://webdesigns.ms11.net/chromeditp.html
Folder names (label="name") are cases sensitive and need to match exactly what you get via the properties
Pace the folder-icon.png icons in the same chrome folder.
This code works for icons on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
<pre><nowiki>#personal-bookmarks .bookmark-item[container][label="Folder_Name"]{
list-style-image:url('folder-icon.png')!important;
-moz-image-region:auto!important;
</nowiki></pre>

Catalog import resulted in two folder images

Hi,
I imported a catalog from my laptop into a catalog that I have on an external hard drive. This has now resulted in two images of the external drive under the folder list in the Library view.
You can see there are two folders called Oxford (which is my external drive). The first contains the images from the catalog that was originally on the external hard drive. The second one contains all the imported photos.
The directories under Oxford are correctly visible when I browse to them on the computer.
Anyone knows what is going on? And how can I merge them?
Thanks
Vinay

Vinay,
Before proceeding, please take a backup of your catalog.
Then, you can try this:
Find out which drive entry gets populated by doing normal imports (test-import an image and see where it's put)
Under the other drive
Right-click the top-level folder(s) and choose "Update Folder Location"
Point to the folder on your external drive
Confirm an eventual merge-warning
This should merge your two drive entries in the folder panel.

Shared Folder Images in RTF Template?

Hi, how to use images which are in shared folders like *\\\\path\\Trademarks\\test.jpg* into RTF templates? url:{} works only for http links and doesn't work for shared path. I need to have dynamic images, we have a logic in query that would give us the path like *\\\\usnbkb110p\\Trademarks\\testforuljp.jpg*. Not sure how to proceed further. Kindly advice.

Any ideas on this? Any recommendation would be appreciated.

Change default folder image

Is there any way to change the default for image for new folders? I want to be able to change all of my folders to black without having to change every individual image.

As camickr said, it can be found in the Java Tutorial.
     DefaultTreeCellRenderer rend = new DefaultTreeCellRenderer();
     rend.setLeafIcon(new ImageIcon("leaf.gif"));
     rend.setOpenIcon(new ImageIcon("open.gif"));
     rend.setClosedIcon(new ImageIcon("closed.gif"));
     myJTree.setCellRenderer(rend);

On what Mac using what version of OS X?

I am trying to make an Edge Animation work on a CMS. I used "AdobeEdge.loadComposition" to find the .JS file, but it is looking for the images in the "/image" folder. I would like to store the images in another place. Please help me accomplish this.

Here's the code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8" src="http://animate.adobe.com/runtime/5.0.1/edge.5.0.1.min.js"></script>
<style>
    .edgeLoad-EDGE-4084323 { visibility:hidden; }
</style
<script>
   AdobeEdge.loadComposition('/media/products/edge_script/channels', 'EDGE-4084323', {
    scaleToFit: "none",
    centerStage: "none",
    minW: "0",
    maxW: "undefined",
    width: "361px",
    height: "268px"
}, {"dom":{}}, {"dom":{}});
</script>
<div align="center">
<div id="Stage" class="EDGE-4084323">
</div>
</div>
Thank you for your help.

Ahhhhhh, ok. Figured this one out after digging more.
Here's the answer from another post. Hope it helps someone!
If you need to set an absolute folder url, or you are pulling the content from a server that does not host the content, you can manually update the <projectname>_edge.js file to specify the directory:
(function($, Edge, compId){
//images folder
var im='<SERVER/FOLDER>/images/';
Just beware that if you re-publish the files, you'll need to redo any custom modifications. I do this for off-server projects and it works very well so long as you make all the changes in each JS file where you need to specify the exact path.

How to avoid "images" folder in programatic exporting of.rpt files to HTML

In C#, When crystal reports is programatically exported to HTML format, the result is a folder bundled with .htm files and a folder called "images" which holds the .png files associated with these .htm.
My requirement is to have both the .htm files and the graphic files(i.e. '.png' files) in the same folder and do not want a new folder "images" to be created.
This creation of "images" folder does not happen when we manually export cryatal reports to html format.
Kindly suggest, How can we avoid the creation of this "images" folder when programatically exported to html format ?
Following is the approach used to export to HTML format.
ReportDocument mreportDocumentObject_
mreportDocumentObject = new ReportDocument();_
ExportOptions exportOptions = new ExportOptions();
exportOptions.ExportDestinationType = ExportDestinationType.DiskFile;
exportOptions.ExportFormatType = ExportFormatType.HTML40;
HTMLFormatOptions htmlFormatOptions = new HTMLFormatOptions();
htmlFormatOptions.HTMLBaseFolderName = folderName;
htmlFormatOptions.HTMLFileName = fileName;
htmlFormatOptions.HTMLEnableSeparatedPages = bHTMLEnableSeparatedPages;
htmlFormatOptions.HTMLHasPageNavigator = bHTMLHasPageNavigator;
exportOptions.FormatOptions = htmlFormatOptions;
mreportDocumentObject.Export(exportOptions);_

HI David,
I have a requirement to e-mail the exported html report. When i e-mail the attachments (i.e .htm file and .png file with in the images folder) , The reciever has to save the .htm file into a folder(say X) and with in the same folder 'X' he has to create a 'images' folder and save the .png file into it. Only then .htm file will load the appropriate ".png".(I believe It is internally designed in .htm to load the .png files from 'images' folder). SO it becomes additional work for the user to save these attachments in folder structure as explained above.
There is another scenario to store the reports into database which requires .htm and .png to be in the same folder.
These are above scenarios where images folder is causing the problem.
I have exported the reports to other formats (i.e. xls, pdf, rtf, txt) and those work fine. Supporting .html format as part of the above requirement is where i am stuck.
I wanted to confirm whether creation of 'images' folder in CR .NET SDK IS BY DESIGN ?
If that is confirmed and if there is NO work around to get the .htm file and .png file into same folder, then we can re - think on our requirement.
Kindly confirm the above or Kindly suggest any work around if available .
Thank You.

Images show in Console but don't show up in preview??

I'm a novice website builder but know enough that I'm doing
everything right!.. I add images to a page and shows up in
Dreamweaver console but when I got to preview the page in Firefox

images from your root folder "images" folder and it shows up then
save and preview and nothing....! Any idea's why its not showing up
in the preview? I don't have this site up yet on an FTP site... so
it never takes any time to preview either.
