How to enable Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?

Hi,
I am using Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5 (64-Bit) on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit).
When using Windows Explorer to browse through file folders, I notice that the Photoshop files (.psd) do not display a thumbnail preview, like other graphic files do. How can I enable the Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?
Thanks for your help,
The MiJiT

Adobe software doesn't provide a 64 bit codec and as far as I know there is no freeware to do it on x64 systems.
There are two pay-for applications that I know of: Mystic Thumbs and Ardfry's PSD codec

Windows Explorer Thumbnail View

Hi guys
I am making a photo gallery system software in the main window I want to show images in thumbnail view. however I see people that they use JButton to show each thumbnail I think that's unconventional so I am trying to create something like Windows Explorer thumbnail view but I don't know how do it. I have a class named thumbnail which will get an image and resize it to thumbnail and put a border around it but i don't know where to put that thumbnail. I think JTable is a good place since you can select the cells but then again i don't know how to add an image to a cell
thank you

Thankx actually I kinda got it working however there are two problems
1-how can i add images dynamiclly I mean I want start with zero row and and whenever someone imports an image to system I want to show the thumnanil of that in the table. meaning adding that image to next avaialbe cell
2-if i have 6 column and 10 rows that's 60 cells but imagine if i have added only 51 images added so that take 51 cells and 9 cells are empty which a row and half and the system has option to select all thumbnail (like explorer) but the problem is it will even select the cells that are empty since it is a table
if someone know how to do this or give me a hint i appreciate it
thanks

How do I retreive my thumbnail view for my PDF file?

I saved a PDF last night at work and the thumbnail view was working
fine. When I came in this morning and opened up my document, the
document thumbnail view had disappeared. I tried opening other PDFs
I had saved previously, and the same problem persisted.
How do I get the thumbnail view for my Adobe Reader back? I'm using
version 8.0 here at work. Thanks!

Windows Explorer Thumbnail View and 7D Mark II RAW Files

I am running latest version of PhotoShop CC on Windows 8.1 Toshiba laptop. Prior to purchasing my Canon 7D Mark II, I could view Canon RAW files as photo thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Since upgrading cameras, I get generic thumbnails when I view a folder full of RAW files from the 7D Mark II. Is there a fix? I use Irfanview as a general file viewer and Adobe Camera RAW to open files in PhotoShop, but I seriously miss the ability to find a specific photo quickly in Windows Explorer.

Hi billyray1usa ,
may I suggest that you try to use Bridge to view and navigate between the thumbnails with the possibility of having the large preview of each image in more than Adobe Bridge updates with PS and Camera Raw.

How can I enable Windows Explorer (Windows 7 64 bit) to open LabView 8.2.1 LLB files?

How can I enable Windows Explorer to open LabView LLB files? I am running LabView 8.2.1 on Windows 7 64 bit. The option “Enable Windows Explorer for LLB Files” in Tools/Options/Environment is unchecked and grayed out.

LabVIEW until 7.1 came with a shell extension that could display the content of an LLB in an explorer window.
That was removed in LabVIEW 8.x for a number of reasons.
- Shell extensions are pretty badly documented, tricky to implement right, and of very limited use since only Windows Explorer and a few explorer replacements can use them. It doesn't add any functionality for most other programs in Windows, since the shell extension are a Windows Explorer thing, and not a Windows core technology.
- With 8.x NI decided that LLBs were pretty old fashioned and their main feature of supporting file names longer than the DOS 8.3 naming was pretty much obsoleted by then, while they didn't allow for more than one level of directory hierarchy. So they decided to depreciate LLBs and declared them a legacy technology that should not be used for new development anymore.
- For the uupcoming 64 bit version of Windows a new shell extension would have been required to allow Explorer to use it.
For all these reasons the LLB shell extension was removed from the LabVIEW installation to further discourage the use of LLBs.
If you have a LabVIEW 7.0 or 7.1 installation on your computer and run 32 Bit Windows you can enable the shell extension in the LabVIEW Options dialog.

JPanel Scrollable mimic Windows Explorer Icon View

I am developing an image viewer application, and I want my thumbnail image JPanel to mimic MS Windows Explorer's layout in icon view. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. I have searched high and low, finding many others with my same problem, but no solution. To see exactly what I want to mimic, go to Windows Explorer and take a look at Icon View.
Windows Explorer seems to be using a type of FlowLayout, and the icons get wrapped to the next line. If the number of icons exceeds the viewable space, the vertical scrollbar appears. Note that there is no horizontal scrolling; only vertical scrolling with the FlowLayout. If the user adjusts the SplitPane, then the layout adjusts the scrolling and icons accordingly.
============================================================
QUESTION: How can I get my JPanel to mimic Windows Explorer Icon View?
============================================================
10 Dukes to anyone who can get this to mimic Windows Explorer. Ideally the solution would not be too involved.
P.S. I think it stinks that JPanel, by design, does not implement Scrollable Interface. Even then, it doesn't work the way I want it to with my FlowLayout and only vertical scrolling. Does anyone understand why it doesn't implement Scrollable, like JTextArea, JEditorPane, etc. do?
Thanks
Wayne

Thanks camickr! I didn't try your layout manager since I managed to find another one which seems to do the trick as well. Here is the link from which I found it:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c43ovb%242db505%241%40ID-76750.news.uni-berlin.de&output=gplain
It seems that in the source there is a small bug which is easy to fix. I think the boolean parameters in minimumLayoutSize and preferredLayoutSize should be changed.
So in minimumLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, true);and in preferredLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, false);After that fix, it worked just fine for me.

Folder appears in Windows Explorer, but not in the Open File dialog

Hello,
I hope this is the right place to post this. If not, please let me know where is.
A friend just showed me a weird problem he is having with his computer. He is using Windows 7 pro, and has a folder under My Documents, in which he keeps his work files. He emails these files using Gmail, which he accesses via Internet Explorer.
All worked fine until a few days ago, when he noticed that when he clicked the link in Gmail to attach a file, his folder wasn't listed in the Open File dialog. He looked in Windows Explorer, and could see the folder OK. I tried opening Word and using the Open
File dialog there, and the folder wasn't visible.
If he clicks in the address bar, and adds the folder name to the path, it opens the folder, but shows it as empty. I actually has two subfolders. If he adds the name of a subfolder, then the Open File dialog shows the files in that folder.
I checked the permissions on the folder, and couldn't see anything odd. What I don't understand is how the folder can be visible in Windows Explorer, and not in the Open File dialog.
Anyone any ideas? Thanks

I can confirm - I'm having the exact same problem.
When I try to lookup or save a file from an IE file dialog some folders do not show up. I can type the folder name into the directory field and it then goes there, but this assumes you know the directory name and it's a PITB.
Firefox can browse to the directory directly.
It would be interesting if anyone else found a fix for this - I'll post here again if I find out more somewhere else, but there are not too many threads out there as far as I have found for now.
Found a solution over at answers at Microsoft dot com. (can post links here yet - will update once I can)
In short: There's a fast fix for this issue by resetting a hidden flag that IE sets for some folders. I believe this part of the "protected mode" feature, though I can't confirm and also have no idea how this would protect me from any intruders,
if only (unimportant) subfolders are protected ...
Anyway - if you know the name of the missing folder (e.g. from browsing the directories form windows explorer): in the parent directory that has the folder missing do a Search (in box at top right) for the missing
folder name. In my case the hidden folder shows up in the search - now right click -> Properties -> clear hidden flag. Note: this "hidden" flag is independent of the flags set in windows explorer - that's why you have trouble going there with IE and not
the file explorer from the desktop.

Launching Microsoft Access from Internet Explorer to view a downloaded MDB file opens the wrong file (not a problem if I use Firefox)

When clicking on a link (in Internet Explorer 9) to download an Access MDB file and then choosing to open the file directly in Microsoft Access (2007) instead of saving it, the file is copied to Temporary Internet Files but Microsoft Access tries to open
a different file and displays an (Unrecognized database format) error.
When I click on the option to open the file, the MDB file is copied to Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5 but instead of that file, Access tries to open a different (incorrect) file located in Temporary Internet Files\Content.MSO (e.g. in the above error
message, NativeView.do is an XML file containing an error message).
I don't see this problem with Word, Excel or PowerPoint files. When opening a Word file (without saving) the Word file is copied to Content.IE5 but an identical .tmp file is created in Content.MSO which when opened in Microsoft Word displayed the required file
correctly. The same happens for Excel files. PowerPoint appears to be handled a little differently (no .tmp file created in Content.MSO but the required file is still copied to Content.IE5) but the PPT file is still opened correctly in Microsoft PowerPoint.
I think the Content-Type "application/msaccess" is fine because Internet Explorer does launch Microsoft Access. It just tries to open the wrong file (or so I think). However, it looks like the file type is not being determined. Here is what I noticed
when trying to open different Microsoft Office files using Internet Explorer:
The last one is the MDB file. As you can see, only for this type of file, the "Type" (Microsoft Office Access 2007?) is not displayed in this Open/Save dialog box.
On Firefox, I don't see this problem. When I tried clicking on the link to the MDB file in Firefox, Microsoft Access was launched and the file was opened correctly. Is there something I can do so the MDB file is opened properly using IE? I can add/change headers
in the HTTP response that writes this file to the output stream (on disk) if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Sounds like a problem symptom to be discussed in either an IE forum or an Access forum, not here. How did you come to post here? ForumsRedesign. That might be an on-topic issue for this forum. <eg>
Can you find your way to either of those other forums easily from here? Another on-topic question for here I think. ; )

There is a "hidden" setting accessible from the command line ("defaults" command) to change the default screenshot format from png to pdf. Since I always forget the command, I use the free TinkerTool to access/change that setting and others. Screenshot format is found in TinkerTool under "General".

Enable windows explorer for LLB files broke

was running LV6, 6.1, now 7.0 on win98 machine.
recently ran microsoft regclean and now I have no more support for viewing inside .LLB files through windows explorer. Attempting to re-enable this through LabVIEW/tools/options does not help.
hints?

Hi Paul,
I would not reccommend that you manually edit the registry keys associated with LabVIEW (or any other program for that matter) unless you are intimately familiar with it. We do not publish the registry keys used by LabVIEW for this reason.
If you need to fix the llb support for Windows Explorer, I would recommend that your perform at least a repair on that feature under Add/Remove programs as an administrator. From your question's description, it sounds like you do not have many priviledges on this particular PC. You may want to just try it first as an admin to make sure.
Have a good one!

How to switch music from thumbnail view to list view

In the music app in the main library, how do you switch the music from thumbnail view with the album art and name arranged in a grid, into a traditional list view, if at all possible?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

... I did inadvertently find a way to view by list, although a bit unconventional. When I went into Playlists, I found I could tap on "All Songs." This had all my music in listed, alphabetical order. Hey, it works so I'm okay with this "fix." Poring thru album artwork makes me crazy! TNX Rat ! :--D

Enable Windows Explorer for LLB in LabVIEW 8.5.1

I have a fresh install of LabVIEW 8.5.1. I would like to treat an llb as a folder in Windows Explorer like I have in the past. The only problem is that this option was typically available in Tools->Options->Environment. I doesn't appear to be there in my 8.5.1 installation. Is there an alternate procedure I can use to turn on this feature in 8.5.1? It would be a shame if this functionality has gone away. My OS is XP Pro.
Thanks,
Greg

Hi Greg,
There is a workaround for using Windows Explorer instead of LLB manager to handle your LLBs. This knowledgebase explains the steps.
Instead of using Windows Explorer, LabVIEW 8.5+ uses LLB Manager. This information can be found on the upgrade notes for 8.5.

Windows Explorer access to Xserver G5 Directories / Files

In the office there is a XServer G5 machine. I have a Windows XP PC. Using Windows Explorer, I need to have access to XServer Directories / Files. The internet explorer, email and connection to other non-apple computers work fine.
Any ideas ?
Thanks

Bill,
I’d like to thank you for your time.
My computer was purchased a couple of weeks ago, when I started to work here. The software was preloaded by Dell. I do not have to logon when the pc boots up. My computer does not see the XServe at all. A connection to another computer, Unix based, works fine through putty, or telnet.
Email, network printer and Internet services work fine.
Below, I answer your questions.
Is the problem computer able to see the XServe at all or can it see the server and just not access the folders and files? (NO, my computer does not see the XServe at all.)
Since you're a small organization, do your Windows computers require logins? (In one of the Windows computers that “sees” the XServe’s directories and files, the user has to login in. The other Windows computer that also “sees” the XServe’s directories and files, does not require a logon, when the machine boots up. I don't have to logon to anything when my pc boots up.)
If not, then I would suspect that the account automatically logging in on the problem Windows machine does not have access to the files and folders on the server. Add this user account to the correct security group on the server and that will probably solve your problem. (I agree with what you suggest, however, I don’t know the administrator account/password on the XServe machine to add the user account. Nobody else knows anything about that machine except the consultant who set it up and disappeared.)
I have an understanding about what has to be done, and I’d like to ask you something. Is there any default system or administrator account where I could login to XServe and do the addition? “For example with the Oracle DBMS there are several default accounts/passwords supplied by the vendor, so that authorized persons can use them to do certain things.” What about Apple?
By the way, the XServe is in a small air conditioned closet-room, where there is not even a tiny console or other display connected to the server. I guess that in the past whenever, whoever did something either brought in a laptop, or connected to the server from an existing computer, or from a remote location.
At this point, I like to THANK you again very much for your concern, patience and support.
Sincerely
Stefanos

View HDR Settings PSD File

Hello,
Does anyone know how to view the HDR settings from a PSD File?
I created a HDR image using the Merge HDR Pro and saved the file as a PSD. Now I would like to take 3 more photos from the same set and make a matching pair. Does anyone know how to view the HDR settings that I used to create the first image?
Thanks,
Ben

I am using Fireworks CS3.
This morning (as an experiment) I downloaded a trial copy of
photoshop (not at all intuitive to use unlike Fireworks!!) and did
some experimentation.
I eventually found that the PSD file I was looking at was
rgb/16 - when I switched this to rgb/8 and saved the file it opened
up perfectly in Fireworks.
Is this a known limitation of Fireworks?
