Icons Instead of Images in Bridge

I use PS CS-3 on an XP Home OS. When I save a .tif image with no layers, the image appears, as expected, as a thumbnail in Bridge. When I save a .tif image with one or more layers, it appears as a .tif icon only, so that I cannot tell what image it is. Is there a way around this, other than e.g., saving the layered .tif image also as an unlayered .tif or .jpg image?
Thanks,
Richard

Addendum:
I have increased the maximum file size to be processed (Edit>Preferences>Thumbnails), so that it exceeds the largest layered file that I have, but still no luck.
I do not understand the additional instruction that "previously cached files must be purged...for this setting to affect their display." Since I have never fiddled with the cache, I hesitate to purge anything until I know what the downside of such operation might entail.
Thanks,
Richard

Tiff's suddenly showing generic icon instead of image preview

All of a sudden I have begun having an intermittent problem with Bridge (CS3) not displaying a preview thumbnail for a very few number (not all) TIFF files- instead I just get a thumbnail showing a TIFF logo rather than the picture itself. I would normally think it was just something about those particular files but it's happened with some files from two other sources all within a few days of one another- on several occasions it has happened to a TIFF that previously had a preview and then once I did additional work and had to save over it, it lost the preview and had the generic icon.
Is anyone familiar with this issue and how to fix it? I already tried purging the cache for the folder, then I tried restarting Bridge while holding down the option key and reset the Cache database. I did not reset the Preferences yet, I have a lot of things set up just so and would like to avoid it if it isn't necessary. The only change I have made is I installed the newest version of Camera Raw, though I am not implying it had anything to do with this.

Purge the cache for the offending folder(s) through the Tools menu in Bridge, NOT through the broken global command in Bridge prefs.

Jpeg Icons Instead of Images in Cover Flow

First time poster, not sure if this is the right place. Anyway...
For the past few days, when I'm opening folders of images, in Cover Flow mode, instead of seeing the images, all I see is the jpeg icon.
Q1: Did I do something to cause the change?
Q2: How do I restore it?
Thank you, in advance, for any advice!
Don

Welcome to Apple forums, Don.
Q1 No, I doubt yopu did anything.
Q2 Go to Users/yourname/Library/Preferences and trash these two files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)
Let us know if that helps.

Icon instead of image preview in PDF portfolio

We are creating a lot of PDF portfolio using Acrobat X Pro. Part of files included in these portfolios are simple JPEG images. On one of our machines - the one with Acrobat X Pro installed - we have a problem that inside portfolios these JPEG files are displayed as icons currently associated in Windows with JPEG images. On all other machines these portfolios are displayed correctly, as image previews, but on this one we have these images displayed as icons.
We tried some standard and some non standard things: Acrobat X Pro reinstall, antivirus software uninstall, JPEG icon association reset, etc.
What can block these images?
I
We are using (on all machines) Windows XP SP3 PL, Comodo Internet Security Premium, latest Adobe Acrobat with all updates.

Hi,
On my machine the previews are displayed correctly for JPEG files in Portfolios.
You can repair your Acrobat installation from Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and see if things work correctly.

Icon instead of images

No matter what I do I can not see images in catalyst. I only see icons of the stuff that should be images. The beta 1 was fine so I am confused. I just want to import everything I see in photoshop and finish working. Do I need to reinstall or I am simply doing something wrong?

Sorry to hear you are running into this problem with beta II. I haven't heard about this problem from other users, so there may be something unique about your system or files that is triggering the problem. I don't think you are doing anything wrong. This sounds like a bug and we need to figure out what is causing it.
A few questions:
1) do you get this problem with importing PSD files as well as other file types like jpeg, png, or AI files?
2) It also sounds like the problem occurs with all PSD files that you try? If it is a particular PSD file, please post it so we can investigate further.
A few things to try:
1) click the circular arrows icon (in the upper right of the artboard) to refresh the screen
2) save the file after import. Close it and re-open. Do you see the same problem?

Xperia z3 foto widget show broken image icons instead of image thumbnail/preview

Initially I used my Z3 without SD card. Everything word fine: album AND the foto widget which allows to browse through taken pictures.After- installing an SD card,- changing the location for newly taken pictures to SD card- AND moving some pictures to other directories -- AND creating a number of .nomedia files on these directories to make these pictures not appear in the album nor in the foto widget, the foto widget shows a broken image icon for ALL pictures taken until this change. All new pictures display fine in the widget and the album app. I delete the album cache and data file (in settings -- all apps -- album).This didn't change anything (so far). How can I force the album app/widget to recreate it's database and preview/thumbnails?? Thanks a lot.M~

uliwooly wrote:
@z3_owner Settings > apps > album > clear data > uninstall updates > restart the phone > wait few minutes > remove the nonmedia files too. Followed your instructions without success so far.a) how long could it take to recreate database and thumbnails? The main picture directory (DCIM on the SD card) contains almost 1000 pictures).b) Where should the .thumbnails directory reside? Should it -- after switiching to the SD -- be in /storage/sdcard1/DCIM or still in /storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?c) How can I either force the media scanner to run and update the foto widget pictures and album database or see/verify that it does run. Thanks again. Michael

Blue icon with question mark instead of image in email

Sometimes I get a blue icon with question mark instead of image in email, when viewing in Apple Mail Program.
Does anyone know why?????

I'm asking your thread get redirected to the proper forum. Please read this tip on how to post on Discussions for future threads:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1574700
Is this issue with Tiger or Leopard? Your profile indicates you have a machine with Tiger, yet your signature of your post says you have Leopard.
Also, there is no such thing as a Powerbook Pro. Read the text under the screen to tell us exactly which model you have. MacBook Pro is the name given to Macs that are for the pro lineup of notebooks once Apple shifted to the Intel CPU.

Change .pdf icons to generic icon instead of preview image

How can I change the icon of a .pdf on the desktop to the more generic red and white Adobe logo instead of the little preview picture? With the old-style icon it's easy to determine what's a .pdf - with everything a little preview now (which is too small to tell anything, at least for me) I have to actually read the file name to see what type of file it is.
Not the end of the world but it would be nice to change.
thanks

What app do you want your PDF files to open with when they are double-clicked?
If you click on the Desktop, type Command-J, and in the Desktop's view-options window uncheck the box for "Show icon preview," you will convert all the Desktop icons to whatever image the default "Open with" app has provided. If you have set Adobe Reader as the default app for PDF files, the icon will look like this:
!http://i55.tinypic.com/2r4hf6p.jpg!
If you have set Preview as the default app, the icon will look like this:
!http://i51.tinypic.com/264noea.jpg!
I don't know of an automatic way to have PDF files display an Adobe icon and still have them open in Preview when double-clicked.

How can I display an icon, instead of text string, as a validation prompt?

My validate method inside my custom validator is like this:
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
Pattern datePattern = Pattern.compile("(\\d{2})/(\\d{2})/(\\d{4})");
Matcher dateMatcher = datePattern.matcher((String)value);
if(!dateMatcher.find()){
    ((UIInput)component).setValid(false);
    FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
    String msg = "[" + value + "] invalid date";
    message.setDetail(msg);
    context.addMessage(component.getClientId(context), message);
    FacesMessage facesMsg = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_FATAL, "xx", "msg");
    throw new ValidatorException(facesMsg);
}My JSP has this:
<h:inputText id="test" value="#{projecthandler.test}">
<f:validator validatorId="DateValidator" />
</h:inputText>
<h:message id="testErrorMessage" for="test"/>The <h:message> tag will kick in if the user has invalid data in the <h:inputText> field and clicks submit.
When the page is regenerated, the user will see a text string reflecting what the issue is.
However, instead of this, I would like to display an icon consisting of a red circle with an exclamation point.
The user is supposed to click on the icon if they want more information. By clicking on the icon,
the user will see a message box, with a description of the error.
This is our standard for applications. I'm trying to put together a demo showing how an existing application
would work in JSF, so I won't be able to talk others into using JSF, unless I can get the validation to display an
icon instead of text.

OK, I noticed a bug in my validate method. This is updated to fix the bug, and to include the recomendation about background-image:
public void validate(FacesContext context, UIComponent component, Object value) {
    System.out.println("DateValidator.test.1");
    Pattern datePattern = Pattern.compile("(\\d{2})/(\\d{2})/(\\d{4})");
    Matcher dateMatcher = datePattern.matcher((String)value);
    System.out.println("DateValidator.test.1");
    if(!dateMatcher.find()){
      ((UIInput)component).setValid(false);
      FacesMessage message = new FacesMessage();
      String msg = "<span style='background-image: url(/error.gif)'/>";
      message.setDetail(msg);
      message.setSeverity(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_FATAL);
      context.addMessage(component.getClientId(context), message);
      throw new ValidatorException(message);
}When I run this, the litteral string of "<span style='background-image: url(/error.gif)'/>" is printed as the message. It does not interpret this as a span tag with an image url.
Can someone tell me what's going on?

Best practice to show ICON instead Label for ADF Component

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.6.
My requirement is to use Icons instead Label text for my ADF components. Those are in one Form layout wich means that if I just used a panelgroup horizontal and put then the image and then the input component, the panelForm Layout wont automatically align my components. So I was trying to fallow this link
http://adfpractice-fedor.blogspot.co.uk/2011/08/panel-form-layout-and-labels-with-icons.html with no success.
Anyone else could orientate me on the right path?
Thank you

You can try to use af:panelFormLayout and set "rows" property.
Then set simple="true" on your input components.
For example:
<af:panelFormLayout id="pfl1" rows="2">
      <af:image source="image1.png" id="i1"/>
      <af:image source="image2.png" id="i2"/>
      <af:inputText label="Label 1" id="it1" simple="true"/>
      <af:inputText label="Label 2" id="it2" simple="true"/>
</af:panelFormLayout>Dario

The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported.

Bridge Raw not working, cannot see Raw image in Bridge

The RAW setting in Bridge is not working. When I open Bridge I can see only icons, no images. The RAW tool icon is grey, not active. I am going on a trip Tomorrow and I need Bridge to be working. It was working earlier.

My Photoshop and bridge is CS4, purchased in 2008, and the canon 5D Mark
11, purchased earlier. I have CR2. The camera and software worked
together fine for all those years.
Now, however, when I click Bridge to open a file containing several
images, I do not get thumbnail images, just a circle with CR 2 and the
file name, no image.
If I double click one of the circles, the image will open in camera Raw,
and I can edit, and open photoshop and edit again. If I then save a Jpeg
version, I will be able to open it and see the image in Bridge.
The problem is that now if I shoot 100 pictures, I can open Bridge but
there are no thumbnail images, only CR2 and file name.
I hope this can clarify the problem. Camera and software have not been
changed.
Thank you very much. Please help.

Viewing Cannon Raw images in Bridge

I normally shoot with my Nikon D3, But I recently borrowed a Canon. When viewing my Nikon Raw images in Bridge, I am able to see the Images. But when I try to view the Canon Raw Images, all I see are Icons. Is there a setting that allows me to see the Cannon Raw Images?
I am using Windows 2000.

You did not include enough info to comment.
What version of Bridge, and what model of Cannon camera?

Unable to delete images in Bridge

I am running windows 7 64 bit and CS5. I seem to have a problem in that I can't delete images from Bridge. I open up the folder and when I try to delete the image it asks "do you want to delete this image" I click yes and it jumps to the next image without deleting the original image.
I had this problem once before and read on here about "permissions" at that time I rectified the problem. Not this time though.
I have been into my computer, unchecked the read only boxes, checked in the security tab that all users have full permissions and still no joy! Can anyone suggest what else I can do? I did read also on here in a past post about "running as administator" not sure what this is and how to find it.
Your help would be appreciated.
Many thanks

If you are running an external dirve one can see more permission problems. In that case shut Bridge then right click on icon and choose "run as administrator".
Hope this helps.
