Grid View: Meant to be squared

I just noticed this while looking into other’s issues with Grid View. Apparently, if you have album covers that are not square they will not be rendered as well in Grid View when sorted by artist; I would guess the issue would also occur if you browse by composer.
All of my cover art are scans from my CDs. The standard size of my cover art is 300x300 pixels for covers from standard jewel boxes and 300x264 for Digipak or slim jewel case releases that have more rectangular covers. Apparently, the images shown in the browse by artist (and composer) Grid views are in fixed “buttons” so any image that is not a square looks as if it is sitting (letterbox-style) atop a black button. Rendering in the browse by album mode is not affected in this way; the image just has a thin bevel and subtle shadow rendering applied, as opposed to the image being superimposed upon a graphic object.

Neither would I.

If it bothers you, you can set other images as default grid artwork. Choose Get Info whilst on the grid view and you can paste in artwork which it will use as a default.
It does not bother me, it was something that I just noticed while looking over the Grid View to answer someone else’s questions.

Is there a way to hide the square cells in Library's Grid view?

Hi,
I'm moving from iPhoto from LR. I'm wondering if there's a way to display the photos in the Library (Grid View) without the square cells, so that they resemble the iPhoto display:
I know that I can remove the metadata display using the View Options, but I can't see how to display the photos without the square grid lines (which I find distracting):
Thanks!
Doug

There are only limited options to control the display appearance in Lightroom. I don't think any of your requests are possible.

No images in Library grid view

Hi,
In V1.0, when I set my Library to grid view I only see my images for a short while. Then all images turn to grey squares. Updating the grid (like changing thumbnail size or sorting order) again shows images only for a short while.
Loupe and Compare view are ok.
Never had this with the Beta versions.
Is there a setting I need to change?
Thx,
Haya

Tumbnails missing in Grid view for project

I've searched prior discussions but did not see the same issue listed.
Referenced files on internal drive, Aperture v2.1, OS X 10.5.2 and PowerMac Quad.
I'd been sorting out iPhoto and Aperture dups. and consolidating everything into Aperture. I noticed that one project had 214 images, yet only displayed around 5. No scroll bars etc. I rebuilt the library and tried a reset permissions but the project remained in error. Since I had the masters and that project had few if any edits, I merely secured my masters, deleted the project and reimported the masters.
Has anyone seen a similar issue and if so, found a fix/workaround for when there are ost of edits?

Sorry guys, i meant since iTunes 10 and not 9! Grid view worked fine on 9.

Artworks does not appear in List and Grid view, but in Cover Flow

Since a few days the Artwork does neither appear in the List and the Grid View nor in the Genius Mix. When I change to Cover Flow, I can see all Artwork. I see all Artwork also in the information tabs. I already upgraded to the last iTunes version 9.0.2 but without any effect. Restarting iTunes and my PC doesn't help at as well.
Does anybody have an idea what the problem is and how it can be solved?

Hi, welcome to Apple Discussions.
A completely blank Cover Flow can sometimes be a graphics driver problem but if Grid & List views have problems then it is probably a corrupted artwork cache. With iTunes closed rename the *Album Artwork* folder as *Album Artwork (OLD)*. Start iTunes and slowly scroll through your library in Grid mode. The cache will be rebuilt for all albums where there is embedded art. Albums that only had iTunes Store art will need to have new artwork downloaded. If all goes well delete the old artwork folder.
*How to find tracks without artwork*
To find all the tracks without artwork so that you can update them you can try http://www.stum.de/itunes-find-tracks-without-artwork/ for Windows or http://dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=trackswithoutartwork for Macs. Use Google, Amazon, Discogs etc. to locate relevant images. Ideally these should be square, 320x320 pixels or above and borderless to give the best results in the various menus.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for the arrows in grid view?

When you click on an album (or TV-show) in grid view there are two small arrows in the upper right corner, for flicking through to next or previous album.
Question: is there a keyboard shortcut for these arrows? Would be relly nice...
I mean these buttons: http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/2205425/itunes_pilar.png

Ah this is useful!
However... it turns out that you have to press shift as well, so:
For left: ⇧⌘ [ (meaning SHIFT - COMMAND - LEFT SQUARE BRACKET)
For right: ⇧⌘ ] (meaning SHIFT - COMMAND - RIGHT SQUARE BRACKET)

Bug: thumbnails not displaying on library grid view

Since using v1.0 the thumbnails will not display on the grid view (there is simply a grid of empty grey squares which can be clicked on). All beta versions worked fine. I started a new library with no improvement. All other screens work as expected. Using Windows XP SP2. Any ideas?

joel, I'm experiencing the same issue - the thumbnails start to appear but once they get to the point where they would be fully loaded, they disappear. I used beta as well, and that worked perfectly fine. Just sent in a ticket to the customer support at adobe, hopefully they can help with a solution. I'm only running the trial version of lightroom.
Where you able to figure out a solution?

FillBy always fills in the same row in data grid view. How to make it fill in a new row for each click of the Fillby Button? VB 2010 EXPRESS?

Hi there,
I am a beginner in Visual Basic Express 2010. I have a Point of Sale program that uses DataGridView to display records from an external microsoft access
database using the fillby query.
It works, but it repopulates the same row each time, but i want to be able to display multiple records at the same time, a new row should be filled for
each click of the fillby button.
also I want to be able to delete any records if the customer suddenly decides to not buy an item after it has already been entered.
so actually 2 questions here:
1. how to populate a new row for each click of the fillby button
2. how to delete records from data grid view after an item has been entered
Thanks
Vishwas

Hello,
The FillBy method loads data according to what the results are from the SELECT statement, so if there is one row then you get one row in the DataGridView, have two rows then two rows show up.
Some examples
Form load populates our dataset with all data as it was defined with a plain SELECT statement. Button1 loads via a query I created after the fact to filter on a column, the next button adds a new row to the existing data. When adding a new row it is appended
to the current data displayed and the primary key is a negative value but the new key is shown after pressing the save button on the BindingNavigator or there are other ways to get the new key by manually adding the row to the backend table bypassing the Adapter.
The following article with code shows this but does not address adapters.
Conceptually speaking the code in the second code block shows how to get the new key
Public Class Form1
Private Sub StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(
sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.StudentsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.MyDataSet)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'MyDataSet.Students' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyDataSet.Students)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.FillBy(Me.MyDataSet.Students, ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.MyDataSet.Students.AddStudentsRow("Jane", "Adams", "Female")
End Sub
End Class
Get new key taken from
this article.
Public Function AddNewRow(ByVal sender As Customer, ByRef Identfier As Integer) As Boolean
Dim Success As Boolean = True
Try
Using cn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection With {.ConnectionString = Builder.ConnectionString}
Using cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand With {.Connection = cn}
cmd.CommandText = InsertStatement
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CompanyName", sender.CompanyName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactName", sender.ContactName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactTitle", sender.ContactTitle)
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.CommandText = "Select @@Identity"
Identfier = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar)
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Success = False
End Try
Return Success
End Function
In closing I have not given you a solution but hopefully given you some stuff/logic to assist with this issue, if not perhaps I missed what you want conceptually speaking.

Why does iTunes grid view not remember default sort settings?

Hello,
I am using iTunes 8.1 and I like to use the Grid view (Artists). Using the Grid view and clicking on an artist to look at the albums, I like to sort the albums within using "Album by Year".
Once I have made this change, it sticks until I close iTunes, so I can go into any other artist from Grid view and the albums will be listed using "Album by Year" automatically.
When I restart iTunes and click on an artist in grid view, iTunes has reverted to sorting via the first column, the one with track numbers. I then have to manually click "Album by Year" to get it sorted again.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a solution to it? This also happened in iTunes before I upgraded to 8.1.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Slow-to-load album covers in Grid View

I've encountered a problem for a while that I thought I might bring up...
Whenever I start iTunes, it defaults to Grid View, the only view I use when browsing iTunes. Now, I'm unsure if iTunes caches album art or not, but every time I boot it up and scroll down, all of my albums appear artless for half a second before slowly applying the album art. This makes scrolling down incredibly slow and clunky.
Once I fully scroll down, I can scroll smoothly all I want, but if I close iTunes, everything is clunky again. Any tips? Does iTunes not cache album art?

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

How can I compare two collections at the same time? (View two grid views)

I have two collections containing some of the same images. (My Nikon D70 did not put an end-of-file on some images. I recovered them into a different collection.) Now I want to display both collections side-by-side in grid view. I will select those images in the "recovered" collection that correspond to the bad images in the "main" collection, add the ratings etc, and move just these to another collection.
It is extremely frustrating to have to bounce back and forth between collections, remembering each image one by one and selecting it in the "recovered" collection. (The image names are not preserved in the "recovered" collection -- I have to go by what the image looks like.)
LightRoom allows me to compare photos in the compare view. I want to compare collections in two grid views.

CaptureTheLight,
you have ran into a situation when you have to compare two sets of images and now you're wondering how come Lightroom doesn't have such "obviously necessary" functionality? But you have to admit it, this is not such a common situation in a photographer's workflow recovers broken files and tries to compare them against themselves. I think it's a pretty specific feature you need. Still, Lightroom has enough powerful tools for editing and sorting images.
For example...
You could just put them all - "main" and "recovered" - into a single collection or into the Quick Collection. Label the entire "recovered" collection with, say, red and sort by capture time. Now you'll have everything side by side, ordered chronologically. The "recovered" images will stay next to the "main" images since their capture time will be the same, and they will also stand out since they have the red label.
Make the thumbnails bigger and set up the grid view so it tints the thumbnail cell are tinted with the label color. Now, you can go quickly through them visually checking labeled vs unlabeled.

File name not showing in grid view

I just upgraded to LR 5.4 and I noticed that now when I am in grid view, only the capture date and dimensions show on the image when I run my cursor over it. I used to get a quick pop-up with the file name, capture date & dimensions, so I can quickly see where I am in my numbering system. I have looked at the preferences and also in view, but it is not apparent to me where it went, plus I know I didn't change anything, intentionally.
BTW, I also upgraded to Mavericks OS on my iMac, but I hope that is not what is wrong. I know Adobe put out a bunch of "patches" for Bridge, etc. but I have already downloaded and updated all that.

When you are in Library module/Grid mode, the text that appears in the hovering action is controlled by the Info Overlay. The Info Overlay has three states: Off, Info 1 and Info 2.
Go to View>Loupe Overlay and put a check mark next to the Overlay you wish to be active and your hovering enabled text will change to match that text.

How can I add a new column to Grid view under Tests tab

I understand in "ORACLE Test manager for web Applications", the Grid view under Tests tab should be customised.
How can I add a new column to Grid view under Tests tab? Thanks Katherine

I don't think this is possible.
