HT2493 How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?

Hello dear Mac users
How to change preview image of a file and NOT the icon ?
I know how to change the icon of a file, but I wish to know how to change the preview of any file.
For example: my file is "mysong.aif", I changed the icon to be "mylogo.png" using cmd+i, cmd+v on the icon. But the preview of the file still remain the same.
I know it can be changed using iTunes, but I don't want to import all my files in iTune, and iTune cannot import all type of files.
I hope someone will understand my needs...
Thanks!

Thanks BeerbarX
You can't change the preview image for anything

QuickLook plugin
what are the plugin ?
In the case of a music file, it will be that generic black box with a note on it
That is exactly what I'm asking about !
MP3 which has a special tagging standard that can include artwork
How can I "tag" my MP3 without going thru iTunes ? Is it possible to do it dirrectly in the Finder ? Is there other type of files that can include such tags ?
Thank you for answering my question , wich I have to admit may seem useless, but I wish I could put something like a signature logo on each of the different file I produce (as AIF for music and MP4 for video clip) instead of that generic black box with a note on it, and by the meantime keeping a different icon for all of them in order to illustrate theire content.

  • How do I work on my raw files and not the jpeg files that currently dispaly

    When I launch Aperture my pictures display in jpeg format, I do however take all my pictures in both raw and jpeg. How do I convert and work on the raw files? Is my interpretation that I am working on my Jpeg files correct?
    My thanks for any help provided.

    The preference to import both and use RAW vs. JPEG as master can be set on import and you can convert on a project-by-project basis.
    You can tell what Aperture is using a few different ways. If you select the meta-data tab then show the "File Info" (the pull-down menu) it'll show you exactly which file it's using as the master.
    Also if you right-click over the mouse you'll see one of the pop-up menu options to "Set JPEG as Master" or "Set RAW as Master" (it'll show whichever one you aren't using -- so if it offers to "Set RAW..." then that means it's currently using JPEG.
    To convert a whole project, it's as gocuk says in the reply above.... select the "Library" tab at left, make sure you highlight the Project you want to convert, then in the menubar pick "Photos" -> "Switch Project to use RAW as Masters" (which will only be bold and selectable if it's currently set to use JPEG).

  • How to Snap/Grab Image from 1394 camera and display the Image in CWIMAQVIEWER in VC++ ?

    Hi,
    I have :  -  IMAQ1394 2.0.1
                  -  NI Vision 7.1
    In VB, I can Snap/Grab Image from 1394 camera and display the Image in CWIMAQVIEWER :
        Dim Image0 As New CWIMAQImage
        imaq1394SnapCW(sid0,Image0)
        CWIMAQViewer1.Attach Image0
    Now,How can I do this in VC++6.0?
        I tried:
                  C_CWIMAQImage m_imgViewer1;
                  m_imgViewer1 = m_CWIMAQVision1.CreateCWIMAQImage();
                  m_CWIMAQViewer1.Attach(m_imgViewer1);
                  imaq1394SnapCW(Sid,m_imgViewer1);  <--there is no "imaq1394SnapCW "function in VC++,why?
        Please help me!
        Thank you!

    For people looking back at these old posts regarding
    CWIMAQViewer - it was not made to be used in the C environments and is made
    for VB.
    Refer to the following locations for displaying images in C
    environments:

    Make
    sure that you look at the examples and documentation that is in

  • How to upload an image to EBS file server (Not store in database) with OAF?

    Dear all,
    I can upload an image into database with blob type. But I want to know how to upload an image to EBS file server. I try to search the forum but I cannot find the solution I want.
    Anybody can reallize it? Please give me some advice or idea?
    Thanks.
    Kenny

    Kenny,
    Framework doesn't provide the option of storing the images as files. You can write a javascript to open a popup and provide a standard HTML file upload component which will save the file on specified location.

  • How do I select a section of stills and NOT the transitions?

    Okay - I'm switching from iMovie6 to 11 and I'm struggling doing the things that were 2nd nature to me! I'm trying to adjust the duration and when I select a section, I can't change it as it also include the transitions. Is there way to do select just the stills?
    Thanks!

    Haha, as an update, I found out that it does play from the beginning now, however it still doesn't seem to loop. When it reaches the end it loops back to the very start and plays from the beginning, ignoring the front of that section that comes up when I press the loop button. I'm wanting that one section to loop, not the whole thing. Anyway, I found some hlpful tutorials, but I am still seeking a bit of help with that loop button. How do I make multiples instances with it? That is, after I figure out how to make that section loop in the first place.

  • Why are white lines appearing in images in PDF files but not the original InDesign files?

    Hi folks!
    Let me just start out by saying that I'm not a graphic designer and have basically no experience with graphic design programs, aside from the little futzing around I've tried to do with InDesign. My company (which publishes a monthly magazine) has decided that it would be a great idea to get the files to our magazine from the graphic design firm that actually handles the production end of things so that we may offer back articles, etc., and modify them as needed. Somehow I've gotten assigned the task of handling this. However, I've encountered some problems along the way. The graphic design firm uses Quark, we own InDesign (CS3) and use Markzware to convert the files. Most things seem to work okay in this arrangement but I'm having problems with the images in the file when I create PDFs. Although the images look fine in the InDesign files (and are of print quality), when I create PDFs of some files, thin white lines appear over the images in the PDF document. I asked our graphic designer about this but she has no idea, and she isn't very familiar with InDesign.
    So, my question is, where are these lines coming from and how do I stop them from appearing? As a reminder, I'm not a graphic designer and am fdairly ignorant in design software terminology. If you're kind enough to try to help me with this problem, I'm going to require an explanation in plain English. Basically explain it to me like you would to a 10 year old.
    If anyone can help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
    Thanks in advance,
    Lynn

    I think Bob was typing too fast and meant to ask if you were distilling, not to tell you distill.
    Distilled PDF (you get distilled by printing to PDF rather than exporting) always flattens transparency, which is what makes those white "stitching" lines.
    You can make the stitching disappear on screen by turning off smoothing in the Acrobat prefs, and it shouldn't print on a press, but it sounds like you may be doing the output on a digital machine and it's likely to show on the lower resolution output.

  • How do you see individual tv show episodes and not the cover for the tv show in cover flow?

    I used iFlicks to import some of my TV series to iTunes. I then selected the cover flow view because its easier to see when sitting on the coach. The only problem i've got is that iTunes shows covers for each TV series but I can't seem to find a way to see how many episodes are in a series and how to select that episode. This is specifically for cover flow view. I took screenshot that shows Season 1 of Alphas that consists of 5 episodes:
    [IMG]http://i1219.photobucket.com/albums/dd432/vmoodleyzaf/ScreenShot2011-12-21at1933 27.png[/IMG]
    As you can see in the screenshot, there's no indication of the episodes contained within the series. If anyone has any ideas about this, i'd really appreciate it.

    If you are in Cover Flow view, fullscreen, selecting the cover only plays the first episode of the series. I even tried downloading an entire season from iTunes and it does the same thing. Obviously, iTunes names the episodes and season numbers correctly. If I press the skip button on the remote while watching an episode, it jumps to the next episodes without showing any info about the new episode. Please note that this is in fullscreen mode. If I exit fullscreen mode, then a list of episodes is shown below the cover of the tv show. However, that list is not viewable from a distance.

  • How do I rotate one clip in timeline and not the rest

    When I rotate one clip in the timeline 90 degrees it rotates all the clips 90 degrees.

    Bear5067
    If all the clips have the same color title bar, you are selecting all the clips at one time or none of the clips is selected. You need to select only the one that you want to rotate otherwise you will get what you are getting, that is, all the clips rotated instead of just the one. Is your mouse working so that clicking on a clip with it selects the clip?
    Based on how I interpreted what you wrote, we need to zero in on the clip selection. Please try again, and, if you have not already, expand the Timeline so that you can see its contents and clip distinctions. For expanding the Timeline content view, please refer to the -+ slider above the Timeline as shown in the right sector of the following screenshot
    The -+ slider has an icon on either side of it, one is named Zoom Out (- ) and the other on the right Zoom In (+ ).
    In the screenshot here, the two clips have the darker blue color indicating neither is selected at this point.
    Please review, and then we can decide what is going on with the clip selection process in your workflow.
    Thanks for the follow ups.

  • How Do I freeze(pause)a midi file and freeze the virtual keyboard too?

    Whenever i pause a song of a midi(that i shove into Garageband),
    the thing stops playing and the notes Shows in the Virtual Keyboard also stop but they disappear.
    I want to pause and see the paused notes on the keyboard too so that i can learn the chord or notes at any point in time.
    The only way i've been able to do this is take A MOvie capture of the Virtual Keyboard as it plays a track so i can see the notes. And then i open the movie in Quicktime and in Quicktime the video pauses and  you can see the current notes played cause they light up in GB.
    I would like to pause the Light up notes of the Virtual Keyboard but without having to make a video capture. I just want to do it in GBand. Why doesn't GBand pause and keep the current notes lighten. ?
    Instead it stops everything and the lighten notes are no longer displayed
    I'm using GBand 5.1

    There is unfortunately no tab key, however you can tap the spacebar with 3, 4, or 5 fingers to get that number of spaces.   4 should be about the space for a normal tab if I'm not mistaken.
