How to update old icon views?

I'm running Lion 10.7.2 and I have just acquired a large number of old .jpg files from an older Mac (probably running Tiger). I can read them fine, but in the Finder some (but not all) of the icon views are made up of very few pixels and won't enlarge properly - perhaps this problem predates even Tiger. Usually it's so bad that I have to guess at the content of the original picture. What I need is a way to remake the icon views for all the pictures in a folder, but so far I haven't found any way to do this apart from opening the files individually in say Graphic Converter and saving them again - this is obviously no good for several hundred or even several thousand pictures.
Can anyone suggest a solution?

Graphic Converter may be updating the preview icon as it saves. Doesn't it have some batch processing capability?
Yes, it does.
Select a group of problem icons. Right-click or Control-click one of the icons in the selected group. In the contextual menu that opens, go to "Services" - in that submenu, select "Create icon and preview". After a few seconds all of the icons should be showing properly.
This item apparently is added to Services by GraphicConverter.
You can also use Quick Look to see what's in a file without needing to actually open it. To use that, click an icon once, then press the Spacebar. The contents will be displayed in a popup window.
You can do that with a group of selected files, too. All will be made available for display in a common popup window, like a small slide show - use the arrows at the top of that popup window to cycle from one to the next.

  • How to update/open Classification view of Batch in production Order

    Hi All,
       I have maintained the Class (023) and characterstics for Finished Material. When I am creating the production order, I am assigning new batch number in Production Order Header (Goods Receipt Tab). 
    In the background system is creating the Batch but not updating/opening the Classification view.
    Every time I required to go T code MSC2N and required to open the classification view manually.
    How to open the classification view during production order creation?
    Thanks,
    Shailendra

    Hi,
    You can only assign the Batch number in the production order, that meanas the said batch will get blocked and will not get saved in the Data base. You can enter the Batch number in the Production order and a while doing the GR you can make the system prompt the Classification view in the for ground so that you can enter the Characteristic values..
    For the above to pop-up you need to enter the Value "3" in the Batch Classification field of the Production Scheduling profile created for the Plant in the Tcode : OPKP.
    Please read the below information for additional inputs :
    Option to classify batches
    Specifies that the system branches to batch classification upon a goods movement or when you create or change a batch (not in the material master).
    Use
    If a batch is classified during a certain transaction or event, you can then use the batch determination facility to search for batches by class characteristics at the time of goods issue.
    Procedure
    If you work with batch classification, set this indicator for all receipt-specific movement types so that all existing batches are classified.
    Hope this will help you.

  • How To Update A Table View From Client Side !!!!

    Hi I would like to update a table view from the Client Side. So that the user can keep updating the relevent data on the client and when they have finally finished they can press Save so the entire page is then sent to the Server.
    Does anyone know how to do this, I guess u have to use the EPCM, I have just started on it and would really appreciate some Help.
    Thanks,
    Emmanuel.

    This is what I found :-
    There are a couple of ways to approach this.
    1) load the excel spreadsheet into the database "as is". You can use interMedia
    text to convert the .xls file into a .htm file (HTML) or use iFS (see
    http://technet.oracle.com/
    for
    more info on that) to parse it as well. InterMedia text will convert your XLS
    spreadsheet into a big HTML table (easy to parse out what you need at that
    point)
    2) Using OLE automation, a program you write can interact with Excel, request
    data from a spreadsheet, and insert it. Oracle Forms is capable of doing this
    for example as is other languages environments. In this fashion, you can remove
    the "manual" and "sqlldr" parts -- your program can automatically insert the
    data.
    3) You can write a VB script that uses ODBC or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) in
    Excel. This VB script would be able to put selected data from the spreadsheet
    into the database. We would recommend OO4O. It provides an In-Process COM
    Automation Server that provides a set of COM Automation interfaces/objects for
    connecting to Oracle database servers, executing queries and managing the
    results. OO4O is available from
    http://technet.oracle.com

  • How to change to Icon View for some folders but and List View for the rest

    I've had a bear of a time with View options in my folders. I'd like some folders to be in Icon view and other to be in List view. For what ever reason if I change the view option of one folder it changes the view option of EVERY folder. What can I do to make this happen?

    I was about to ask the same. I'd like to use icon view normally, but list view for folders containing lots of text documents. It looks like the solution is using View > Show View Options, change the folder to the view you want, and then tick the box at the top fo the dialogue for "Always open in __ view".

  • How to update site icons in the bookmarks without going to every site. This option is available in Maxthon

    when I install fresh and sync my new firefox, I have 100's of bookmarks in categories. I would like to see an option to update site icons where firefox goes and get the icons for all my bookmarks.
    This option is available in Maxthon
    Right now I have to visit every site to have the icon show up.
    maybe there is an addon

    hello daronwade, in order to automatically add the favicons to your synced bookmarks you can try to use the following extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/faviconreloader/
    after installing the addon you have to initiate the scan for favicons once: press the alt-key to show the menu bar, go to the bookmarks and select the option to reload the favicons.

  • How to update old instances with values

    Hi,
    i am using albpm 5.7 version.
    i have a requirement i need to update the oldinstances with updated data.
    suppose i have added new external variable to process how it will update the old instances.
    plz suggest how to solve this problem.
    Regards,
    Srinivas.

    Hi,
    The standard behaviour is that new instances of the process will use the most recent version of the process that has been deployed to the database. This allows you to deploy new versions of the processes without impacting on processes which are already in progress.
    When the workflow engine determines what activity to run next in the process, the engine checks what the start date of the process instance was, so that it can check what version of the process was active at that time. If you update the start date for each running process, so that it reflects the date that you saved the most recent version of the flow, then the workflow engine will use the latest version instead of the version that it was running.
    This is not supported. I would never suggest that you do this in a production environment - it does not make sense to be making frequent changes to the process in a production environment, since there is no supported mechanism for forcing existing flows to use the new definition. The engine is designed specifically to run the same version of the process for the duration of the process instance - what you want to do is to blow this out of the water completely. If you do change this, then all timing that is recorded against the activities becomes useless, and the other impact on the workflow process us something that you would need to consider incredibly carefully before deciding whether you want to take the risk.
    HTH,

  • How to update old projects/events FCPX 10.1.1?

    So back when I updated FCPX to version 10.1, I updated most of my old projects and events to be consolidated into a new library. However, at the time I still left some of those projects/events in the "hidden" folder, so they were then placed in the "OLD FInal Cut Projects and Events" folder. I'm working locally on my computer because these are older, smaller projects.
    Now, when I go into FCPX to try to update these old projects and events, it won't let me update them. When I go to locate into the "OLD Final Cut Projects and Events" folder, it is all greyed out and won't let me update anything. Does anyone know a way around this?? Seems counterintuitive that they've made the old projects/events obsolete, because now I need to work off them!
    Specs: MBP 17 in. OSX 10.9.2, 2.53 ghz, 8GB RAM.

    The app needs to see those projects/event in the right place and in folders named Final Cut Projects and Final Cut  Events, respectively. Those two folders should be at the root level of an external (non boot) drive and/or in your Home Movies folder on your boot drive.
    If they are correctly named and located, FCP will see them when you chose Update Projects and Events from the Fiue menu…choose locate then navigate to the drive/folder.

    I want to change my Apple ID in IPhone i have **** registered but I can't use it anymore because this Apple ID is not exist i want to cahnge it now so I can access and to updates too.
    <Email Edited By Host>

    Apple IDs exist forever. There is no way to delete them. The email address in the Apple ID is just a user ID; it does not have to be tied to an actual email account. So you should be able to change the email address associated with your Apple ID if the current one is no longer valid. Go to https://appleid.apple.com.

  • LabVIEW2009: How to replace new Icon Editor with old one?

    Colleagues,
    I really don't like the new icon editor introduced in LabVIEW 2009:
    That was nice attempt to make "embedded Photoshop" with lot of features:
    But I really don't like it, because:
    - it opened EVERY TIME on the RIGHT monitor (I have three monitors, and primary monitor in the middle) 
    - it takes lot of time for launch (old icon editor was started momentally)
    - from usability point of view - it was wrong to place tools on the right side. Commonly they located on the left side (and only in old icon editor, but also in imageprocessing software like Adobe Photoshop). Also front panel UI design... hmmm... this can be better...
    - some bugs or changed functionality (for example - select ROI, then press <Del> button - nothing happened)
    etc...
    Is it possible to replace it with old one:
    Ideal solution will be - simple switch between both editors (some introduced features are not so bad).
    Thanks in advance, 
    Andrey.
    Message Edited by Andrey Dmitriev on 01-29-2010 11:00 AM
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Go into <LabVIEW>\Resource\Plugins and rename lv_icon.vi. This is the plugin that's called when you invoke the icon editor, and if it's not there, LV reverts to the built-in editor (at least today. I'm not sure how many versions ahead they will keep the code).
    You should note that the editor is open source, so you can go in and change what you want (or save yourself time and use the changes others have made, such as PJM's thread here. You may also want to look at the other discussions in that group).
    Try to take over the world!
