How can I change 'jpg' Icon to a thumbnail sized photo?

hello all,
When i connect a camera, phone etc to my mac and browse its images instead of getting lots of easy to search through thumbnail images all I can get are the 'jpg' icons. If I want to find a specific photo that I have not yet named I have to go through all the 'icons' and double click them to see what image they are.
Is there anyway to change the settings so instead of icons I will have little thumbnail images I can browse through?
cheers
alex

If you use Image Capture to move your photos from the camera to the Mac, there's a preference that will "create custom file icons that look like images", etc.
To add custom icons and file comments to downloaded image files:
Connect your digital camera or scanner, click Options, and then click Options again.
Select "Create custom icons" and "Add item info to Finder file comments."
I don't know about iPhoto.

    You cannot directly. If you have a jFrame (e.g.) with your own icon you can use one of the JDialog costructors using (Component owner, ... ). Then the dialog will display the same icon.

  • On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    On iMovie 10.0.7 how can I change the duration of all of my photos in the project at once?

    You can set the default duration of stills but you have to do it before you start the project. 
    iMovie is not really suitable for stop motion videos and iMovie 10 is worse than iMovie 9 because the minimum still duration is not really controllable as you have found.   I don't have experience of making such videos but there are 3rd party apps which appear more suited to this, for example http://www.macworld.com/article/1146623/stop_motion_Mac.html
    mentions some of them, though its a bit old and you may be able to find more up to date information.

  • How can I change the Icon on the JFrame?

    Everytime, when I create an application, the default javalogo will show on the left top concern of the application which using JFrame, how can I change it to the other?

    Have you tried using the setIconImage method like this:
    JFrame F=new JFrame();
    F.setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("myIcon.gif"));
    Here is what the API doc says:
    setIconImage
    public void setIconImage(Image image)
    Sets the image to be displayed in the minimized icon for this frame. Not all platforms support the concept of minimizing a window.
    Parameters:
    image - the icon image to be displayed. If this parameter is null then the icon image is set to the default image, which may vary with platform.

  • How can I change the sorting direction of Events in Photos?

    How can I change the date Sort "direction" in Photos for the iPhoto Events folder?  Unlike iPhoto, which sorted the older photos at the top, Photos does the reverse.  Can this be modified?

  • How can I change the icon for incoming messages on iChat?

    I already changed the icon for the ichat app, but whenever i get a new message it reverts back to the original icon with a number on the corner. I have an icon for the alternating messages i just don't know how to change it. HELP?!

    Hi,
    It's a long time since I changed an Icon on anything on my computer.
    The icon for the App is stored in the App and there are two ways to change  it.
    You can do a  Get Info (CMD and i Keys together) on the app itself and then Paste a new icon to the top field.
    The other way is to edit/change the icns file in the App itself.
    Right/Control Click the app and choose Show Package Contents.
    Open the Contents folder then Resources and the iChat.icns file is in there
    I am presuming that if you use the first method - the bit that puts the Red area with the number in it uses something else (possibly the icns file)
    I cannot find any "supply" of the red numbers.  In fact I use Chax (An iChat Add-On) that changes this  to the first part of the first IM that is not read - which suggests the red area is the important bit.
    If you do try to edit the .icns file I would save the Original first.

  • How can i change the icon in JDialog

    Hi,
    I have created a regular JDialog with new JDialog("Title");
    My problem is, the JDialog has the standard Java Icon.
    Is there a way to change this icon to a custom icon.
    I know you can change the icon in a JFrame, but haven't found anything how to change it in a JDialog.
    Any idea?

    Yep,
    there is no way to do it apart from using a different constructor:
    .... = new JDialog(Frame owner,String title)
    If you have set the Icon in owner , your JDialog will have the same icon.

  • How can I change the icon for the bookmarks menu button

    Using linux, the default icon for the bookmarks menu button is quite ugly. Is there a way to change the icon for the button with some code in userChrome.css ?

    After several intents, I found a solution.
    This is my userChrome.css file:
    @namespace url("http://www.mozilla.org/keymaster/gatekeeper/there.is.only.xul");
    toolbarbutton[class="toolbarbutton-1"]#bookmarks-menu-button image[class="toolbarbutton-icon"] {
    list-style-image: url("bookmark_gray.png") !important;
    -moz-image-region: rect(0px, 0px, 0px, 24px) !important;}
    Probably it's messy but works.

  • How can I change the font size and placement of photo descriptions in an  iPhoto slide show?

    With an iPhoto slide show, how do I change the font size for titles and descriptions and position the text when preparing a slide show?

    to change the pixels crop to 100x100 and export with maximum dimension of 100 - see the user tip on exporting foo details on Export options - Exporting From iPhoto
    As to DPI - digital photos have no DPI since DPI is Dots Per Inch and digital photos have no inches hence no DPI - when you print a photo then DPI is a mathematical calculation - dots divided by inches - it is not a setting
    Print a 480 pixel photos as a 1" square and the print it 480 DPI (480 / 1 = 480) and print the 100 pixel image as a 1" square it will be 100 DPI (100 / 1 = 100) - print a 480 pixel photo as a 4.8 inch square and it is 100 dpi (480 / 4.8 = 100) - just a calculation - not a setting

  • How can I change the icons in Mail?

    I recently upgraded to Yosemite. I hate how the icons in Mail are REALLY BIG which causes me to have to scroll a lot to see my lists of folders. Is there a way to make them smaller?

    Nevermind. I figured it out:
    System Preferences > General > Sidebar Icon Size
    BTW, that vivid neon blue for, most notably, radio buttons and arrows on pulldown menus, is really annoying.

  • [Solved] How can I change firefox icon permantly?

    I want to change the Firefox icon in a way that I don't need to redo it after every Firefox Update (I heard rumours that this happens rather often )
    So far I just change the entry in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop
    Icon=firefox
    -->
    Icon=firefox-original
    , but this is not persistent! Maybe I searched for the wrong terms, but I couldn't find a solution, yet.
    Help appreciated!

  • Where is the DDE Palette and how can I change the icons in the user vi-libraries?

    I am using a german version of LV6.02. I can't find the DDE vi's in the function palette, even though the dde.llb exists alongside the other communication vi-libraries (HiQ, ActiveX). I tried copying dde.llb into user.lib, but the icon doesn't appear (yes, I did restart LV).
    The second part of my question: is it possible to edit the icon (symbol) and the name of a user vi-library? The menu EDIT>EDIT FUNCTION AND CONTROL PALETTES does not appear in the LV version I am using.

    In order to edit a palette in LabVIEW 6, click on the options button that is on the top row of either the Functions or Tools palette. You can use this to either edit the icon, name or add the DDE functions. I suspect that the DDE functions were removed from the palette because DDE is pretty much obsolete technology. Microsoft wants everyone to use ActiveX instead.
