Generic Icon for M2V File Droplet?

I've noticed that since upgrading to V2 of Compressor everything works fine...but that it is outputting an M2V file that has a blank page with a dogear Icon.
When I go to Get info it says "Open with Droplet"...this is a new one for me. When I select the Droplet Pull down menu and choose QuickTime it reverts to a QT file icon.
Thing is...it works fine either way when I port it into DVDSP. On the other hand...it's bugging me because clearly something has changed in this version (or I have some strange error going on). Anybody help me with understanding this droplet business?

I've also noticed this, and have changed the icons as you have.
I also just replicated a disc with these files without issue.
Don't know what to tell you.

  • Blank/Generic Icons for Word & RTF files - a rant

    I can't understand why such a simple thing can be made so difficult. If you have .RTF and .DOC files all set to open with Pages, then they have the blank/generic icon. Ofcourse you can change the icon manually but this isn't exactly a solution as you would need to do it everytime you create a new file.
    What also gets me is that if you did happen to have WORD on your machine, and you still wanted .doc files to open with pages, the icon for those files would still be blank even though there's an icon right there on your machine especially for those types of files. The only way to get a word icon for word files is to have them opening all the time with Word.
    This is the same with RTF files, textedit has an icon for RTF files, but because you want to edit them in Pages you have to put up with a blank icon because there isn't an icon for RTF files inside the Pages package.
    I know Mac users tend to scoff at Windows users and vica versa. But, in this instance it's laughable that such a simple thing is made almost impossible to the average user.
    It's not much to ask, the ability to specify that all .doc and .rtf files have X icon.

    I think the logic is that Pages doesn't ever "save" .doc or .rtf. Pages can "export to", but that's not good enough for some reason.
    You cannot say: "This .rtf is a Pages rtf-file. I use Pages do open it and Pages to save it." The only thing you can say is "This .rtf will open with Pages, and then I will have to choose myself which format to save or export to."
    One doesn't have to agree with that logic of course.

  • The icons for html files are blank . . . how do i get them to show the firefox image

    on the desktop and in directories, the icons for html files are blank . . .
    firefox is my default browser . . .
    how do i get the icons to show the firefox image ?? . . .

    You can check for issues with the Windows icon cache and try to rebuild the icon cache.
    # Open the Task Manager (Shift+Ctrl+ESC)
    # In the Process tab, right-click on the Explorer.exe process and select End Process.
    # Open the file picker via "File > New Task (Run)" and click the Browse button.
    # Type or Paste %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local (%LocalAppData%) in the File name field (AppData is a hidden folder).
    # Select the IconCache.db file and use "Delete" in the right-click context menu to delete the file.
    # After the IconCache.db file has been deleted, start a new explorer.exe process via "File > New Task" to get the desktop and Taskbar back.
    The IconCache.db file is a hidden file, so make sure that you can see hidden files.

  • Custom Icon for application file

    I can make director allow me to have a custom icon for appliacation file.
    In director I have attempted this several times where I have tried to have my appliaction file have an icon.  I have purchased two icon program Candy Bar and Fastincs trying to remedy this problem.
    As you see here I am using an ins file created in Fastincs.  Now here is an image to the path and the icon itself Applipcations/ Adobe Director 11/3 HorseLogo.mac.ins
    So there is the setup now when I complile for my program file I get this.
    See the grey Director icon I don't want that I want the three horse logo.
    I also tried to assign the logo after publishing the file.
    then I drag my icon file in
    The program created in director still wont see the icon file.
    If I use Candy bar (icon application)  I get a  different result. The icon works
    in both finder and on the task bar
    This is exactly what I want.
    I works until I try to move the entire package into an installer program  I am using BitRock.  When I compile the installation program then try to run the application I get the following message
    If I choose ignore the install continues.  But I have no icon.
    I am desperate , weeping , screaming , and almost a lost cause, any help any help at all I could really use.
    Thanks

    Hi Robin,
    I'm more of a PC person rather than Mac. I would recommend you look at the Resource and Icon Editor page at:

    It may fix your icon issue from Director.

  • Remove the unique icon for movie files

    In Finder, I get a custom icon for each movie file that is the first frame of the movie. That doesn't help me, so I want to change it to only show the QuickTime image as a custom icon. This is the behavior of Tiger and it was useful to me. I don't get any benefit out of seeing the first frame. I get a benefit out of instantly knowing it is a movie file. Please reply if you know how to revert Leopard to using the application icon rather than the first frame image as the document icon.

    Progress? I think not. Anyone know a hack to make the Finder show app icon for all files at once?
    Open a Finder window, go to Macintosh HD (or whatever the boot volume is called in your system), click the little gear icon/button, and select "Show View Options", then un-tick "Show icon preview", and click on the "Use as Defaults" button (if this button is not active, select a different option from the Arrange drop-down menu, and it will activate).

  • TS3276 I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow

    I can not open gmail attachments  on my iPad, the icon for the file is a down arrow....  that only happend on Gmail account

    It could be just an issue with the gmail server. I don't know what settings can be made for attatchments there. I generally leave those messages with large attatchments alone and view them on the computer. I was finding that certain large files like .wmv would sometimes take 5 to 10 minutes to open on the iPad.
    Yes it's aggrivating, but I don't have that answer either.

  • Why having displayed both generic icons for the PDF and JPEG files and automatic preview of the JPEG files in an ordinary folder are mutually exclusive in Win7?

    In Win7 Pro all my:
    PDF documents, with the 'Large Icons' option chosen in the View tab, display contents of their first page with a tiny thumbnail in the icon's lower right corner, instead of a generic PDF icon.
    JPEG files show Icon size photos, instead of a generic Nero 9 PhotoSnap Essentials icon.
    Folders containing the JPEG photos, however, automatically show preview, when opened, which is desirable feature.
    I found that the Win7 option "Always show icons never thumbnails" in the View tab: Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options, (where ironically the present 'thumbnails' have nothing to do with 'Thumbnails' from the View option in WinXP), causes the unwanted effects described in points 1 & 2, when unchecked.
    Checking this option solves the problem of the PDF and Nero icons. This time, however, I can only see a Nero 9 PhotoSnap Essentials icons, instead of photos preview on opening of any standard folder with the JPEG photos.
    Did I make a mistake somewhere or maybe Microsoft made changes in Win7 with respect to WinXP, which make it impossible to have both the features working at the same time?

    Hi,
    You can install the Win 8.1 software drivers using this link.
    http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&product=4323648&task=&
    Once installed, it should have the same features as the Win 7 drivers for scanning.

  • Generic Thumnails for RAW Files in Photoshop CS4

    I recently purchased a copy of Adobe CS4 and for some reason all my RAW files show as generic thumbnails in Photoshop. I have done a lot of searching so I have already taken the following actions:
    1. Updated RAW plugin to 5.5
    2. Purged cache folder
    3. Manuall purged cache folder
    When I purged the cache folder the thumbnails were working in Bridge but not Photoshop.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Due to the thumbnail producer in earlier versions of Photoshop being buggy and causing corrupted / loss of data, it was taken out, being replaced by one generic file icon for all Photoshop files. Bridge still has the ability to read the files properly to preview them though as it is written by Adobe so they can control it better i guess. This cannot be changed very easily but i think it can be done somhow, but still at the risk of running into the problems the old preview icons had (not that i personally ever had any).

  • Bridge CS4 showing generic icon for TIF... sometimes

    I recently installed CS4 and Bridge, all updated to the latest versions.
    Here's the scenario:
    Desktop running Windows XP Home with all updates and patches applied running CS4.
    Laptop running Nikon Scan to acquire scans using Coolscan 5000.
    Both PCs on a network.
    I open CS4 on the desktop PC.
    I open Bridge using the icon at the top of the CS4 Window.  I navigate to a folder where I keep newly scanned files -- these are TIFs.
    On the laptop computer, I scan an image and it is saved to the laptop hard drive as a TIF.  Using Windows Explorer, I copy the TIF file from the laptop to the scan folder on the desktop that is open in Bridge.  Instead of seeing a thumbnail for the file in Bridge, I only see an icon that says "TIF."  I press F5 to refresh the view and nothing happens.  I double-click the TIF icon to open the file in CS4 and the image looks fine.  Still, only an icon in Bridge.
    To replace the icon with the thumbnail, I can do one of three things:  close Bridge and reopen it, or purge the cache for the scan folder, or select the icon and right-click on the icon and "Purge Cache for the Selection."
    Is this a bug?  Is there something else I can do so that when I add TIFs to the folder that is open in Bridge, I see the thumbnail and not the generic icon.
    Thanks very much for any help here.

    Curt,
    Thank you for the reply.
    If I click on another folder and then back to the scan folder, I still see the generic icon.  However, I did the test you suggested and copied some TIFs made by another program into the scan folder, and the thumbnails show up right away.  So, you are right that something about how the Nikon software saves TIFs is causing this problem.  The Nikon TIFs must have a thumbnail in them because I can view them after doing the other activities I mentioned.
    I'm not a software expert, so I don't really understand how this stuff works, but at least you've helped me explain why it's happening.
    Thanks again.

  • Globally setting icon for a file type

    I've been using LilyPond a lot recently. The .ly files it saves don't have their own icon, though, they just get the generic document icon. I know that I can manually set an icon for a single file using 'Get Info', but it's not practical now because I have so many .ly files. Is there a way I can tell OS X to use my own icon every time it sees a .ly file?
    Thanks,
    (- Steve -)

    Hi, Stephen.
    If by LilyPond you mean this application, it's the application's responsibility to assign the custom icon for files it creates, e.g. .ly files you edit and save in LilyPond. You might want to send feedback concerning this to the developers. However, as I understand the application based on a quick review of its manual, it can work with any plain-text (ASCII) file.
    You can change the default application in which all .ly files open by using the instructions in "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document." That may result in those files bearing the same icon as the LilyPond application. That is also the mechanism by which a given icon is assigned to all files of a given type.
    Good luck!

  • Desktop icon for a file on network shows blank in Windows 8.1, if selected the second icon from the library

    Hello, 
    I have a strange issue on my Windows 8.1 machine. The icon for for an executable file on the network shows blank, if I select the second icon from the library. (File->Properties->Change Icon and select the second icon - This file has two icons)
    If I re-create the IconCache.db, then it is showing correctly. But I do not want to do this every time. 
    Regards
    Mattehw

    It indicates your Icon Cache is corrupted and you need to rebuild it.
    Open the command prompt window, type each of the following and after every command, hit the Enter button:
    cd /d %userprofile%\AppData\Local
    attrib –h IconCache.db
    del IconCache.db
    start explorer

  • Mountain Lion doesn't display Finder preview icons for .ARW files? (RAW pictures taken with SONY cameras)

    This is something that I find rather ridiculous, and have a hard time believing no-one at Apple has addressed yet.
    Basically the problem is that neither Mountain Lion nor Lion show Finder thumbnail preview images for pictures that are taken with SONY digital cameras.
    This is something that Snow Leopard, as well as multiple earlier iterations of OS X used to do without any problem. The professional photographer community who uses SONY professional DSLR cameras is up in arms about this. And we've all been crossing our fingers that perhaps the Mac OS X 10.7.1, 10.7.2, 10.7.3, 10.7.4, or possibly the 10.8 update would fix this issue for us.
    Several of us have filed bug reports over the past year or two. See this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3213982?tstart=0 
    This is a flaw in Apple's operating system. Especially considering that there are supposedly 200+ "new features" which were just released in Mountain Lion.
    Those of us who work with SONY cameras every day would probably have paid the $19.99 upgrade price for just one "feature". And not even a new one. An old one. The ability to see our pictures in the Finder. Pretty basic stuff.
    Hopefully someone fixes this for us with the release of Mac OS X 10.8.1
    Please. And thank you.

    I can see image icons for all my pre-MtLion images.  These are the folder images (Icons), and all the photo images (icons) on all my hard drives.  IE If I have a folder of 300 wedding pictures, they all show the picture image above the file name in the icon view.  So if I want to open a picture of the "Flower Girl" I can see the image (icon) of the Flower Girl.  Without the image showing all I see is the filename...  Smith-212.tif.  Now with Mt. Lion I CAN'T see any IMAGES (ICONS) on any of the 300 photos.  Just the file names in all the different views.... Icon View, List VIew, etc.  If I have a Folder with 23 more folders inside, they don't even show up either.  I saw a step by step process of selecting the file and right clicking on it and opening it in Preview, then doing a copy and then pasting it on the original image in tghe get info window.  WHAT A PURE PAIN TO HAVE TO DO THIS TO 170,375 IMAGES.
    The other issue I have is that 93.5 % of the remaining icons that do exist on my system is that those 93.5 % are so pixelated they appear as a hugh checkerboard viewed through two inch thick glasses..... not for drinking, but the kinda glasses used by a blind man.  IE the remaining icons are so PIXELATED it is almost impossible to tell what they  are.
    BEN WELLAND...... What did you do to get this point? 
    Thank you, thank you, thank you, to whomever at Apple finally fixed this.
    After updating to Mountain Lion 10.8.2, SONY .ARW files (and I'm assuming Pentax .PEF files too) now render proper thumbnail icons in the Finder in list view, icon view, coverflow view, and columns view.
    Since this is now a recognized bug, I'm guessing that the free update to Lion (10.7.5) that Apple also just released yesterday (September 19th, 2012) will probably fix this issue too.
    Hooray!
    I have OS 10.8.2  and nothing has changed as far as being able to see photos / folders as image icons...
    rendered  proper thumbnail icons.
    I have thousands of photo files that show nothing other that the file names.
    The only way I can even see the file is to open it in Photoshop, or open the folder in Bridge. Even then after I open it in PS CS6, and save it again. It still is a "Empty" file...... no render proper thumbnail.

    Any help will be appreciated.

  • Icon for Jar File?

    Is it possible to include an Icon in a Jar file
    that will be displayed for the jar file instead
    of a default Icon give to it by Windows 2000? If
    so, how is it done?
    Thanks

    no it's not possible as the JAR file does not know anything about the operating system. this is windows dependend. if you want a custom icon for one jar file, create a shortcut to the jar and adjust the icon of this shortcut.
