Illustrator EPS finder icons

Ever since I've upgraded to CC on my Mac Pro, the vector EPS file icons in list view (or column) now have a black bar on top, unlike previous versions which had an orange bar. These are almost identical to Photoshop jpegs and tifs which also have a black bar, making them difficult to identify quickly. I managed to find 1 stray EPS which retained the orange bar here:
Is this something that can be fixed or adjusted? Or is this an OSX bug? (I'm on 10.9.2 Mavericks) Not a major pressing issue, but I really miss the orange icons!

Enter it on the wishlist to change the icons.

  • Preview in Illustrator EPS

    I cannot get a preview in Illustrator eps but I can get one in Illustrator.ai. How come? Thanks.

    >I typically click on the saved file ( in list view ) and see a thumbnail of the file in Illustrator.
    Are you sure you don't mean column view?
    What current version; what OS version? Have you been able to do this in several prior versions of Ai and prior OS versions?
    I am on 10.4.11 and AICS3, but can't remember it ever working as you describe back to Illustrator 5 and the corresponding Mac OS. Is there a preference I need to set? Can others please confirm or comment on this.
    It seems that this is the very issue of the original post and Scott's #1 response. Note that Scott has some credentials with Ai. My earlier comments on Scott's response to Ron's post was in essence that it should work as described by John in #10, and that Scott's explanation for it not working that way seemed to me inadequate. IOW I think Scott can and should have given a better explanation.
    Can other users please report wether the Ai eps preview works for you as described in #s 10 & 12, or wether you simply get an Ai Icon in the File > Open dialog from any version of Illustrator.
    Thanks,
    Al

  • Placing Illustrator EPS Problem

    I am trying to import an 6.875 x 10.5 inch document created in Illustrator CS6, saved as an eps, into Indesign CS6. Here is the problem:
    The file is lettering for a comic book, so the lettering is randomly occuring on the page. It doesn't spread to the borders of the
    of the 6.875 x 10.5 inch page. When I go to place it into Indesign, it comes in cropped to the dimensions of where the actual
    lettering fitted on the illustrator page. (for example, if I just had once caption box with text in the middle of the page that was
    1x5 inches, the imported eps document will come in as a 1x5 inch eps file.)  The problem here is that I can't center it properly
    without having to adjust each imported eps and line it up with the page. This is rather diffucult because it has to line up precisely.
    I remember this being a problem in CS4 also, but I came to a solution and can't remember what it was.
    So my question is, How do I get Indesign to recognize the Illustrator eps as a 6.875 x 10.5 inch document that I can just center
    using the align tools? Not sure if it is something in illustrator I need to do.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    One other thing. I used to be able to drag the file from "finder" on my mac, directly onto the ID document. It would then automatically place it there. Now when I do, there is the small preview box that comes up. I then have to double click to get the file to come in. Then it just crops it to the "artwork only", not the actually entire crop area. To top it off, once I get the file in, regardless of how, I can't use the align tools to get the file centered. This is really making my workflow counter productive. To have to "cnt + d" instead of just dragging and dropping the files and then using align tools to get everything centered is going to make putting a 200 page book a very long process. I have to be missing something here. I can't believe that these simple things would be removed from ID in the latest version.  Basically my work flow is this. Create an ID document and then drag and drop the "tiff" files of the art on one layer. Then doing to the same with the lettered eps files. The reason I don't just use the illustrator file is because when I save an Illustrator file that I simply add lettering on top of the artwork, it makes a 15mb piece of tiff artwork with the illustrator lettering into a 30mb file (if not larger). So I have to remove the art and then save it as an artless file, with just the lettering. I'd be more than happy to hear if anybody has a better way to do this. Illustrator is bloating my files. Once I separate the art and the lettering only files, I am working with the 15mb art and then 350kb eps file of the artwork, instead of working with a 30 plus mb Illustrator file. That starts to seriously make the file size of a 200 page book go up. Thanks

  • The difference between photoshop eps and illustrator eps

    Before installing snow leopard, Quark Xpress could distinguish between photoshop eps and illustrator eps files when a file needed to be modified. Now all it does is open files in only one item of software (depending on which you have told it to open files in). It's very inconvenient
    Anyone got any ideas?

    It sounds like you may have assigned EPS files to open in a particular app. That causes anything ending in .eps to open in that app, and the OS ignores the rest of the UTI (Uniform Type Identifiers) data.
    About the only way to fix it is to clear the LaunchServices database. Close all running applications. Open the Terminal and copy/paste the following line and press Enter:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    Close the Terminal and immediately restart. The OS will build a new database based on the installed applications. EPS files created by a particular application should now open in that app.

  • The Finder Icon "jumped" off my dock..how do i get it back?

    Hi. I just got my new MacBook earlier today and I was moving some of the dock icons around and somehow the Finder icon "jumped" off the dock and is now no longer selectable. It just sits on the desktop and hovers above all other programs but behind the dock. I can't click on it or move it or even select it using the lassoo, so any ideas what I could try? Or anybody have a clue what happened/has this happened to anyone before?
    here's a picture:
    It's not like it's something I could've manually removed. I've tried moving the finder before and you can't do it. (this isn't my first OS X mac)
    I'm just as baffled as you are.
    MacBook 2.0 GHz 13.3"   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  
    iMac G4 17"   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Try trashing this preference file and reboot.

  • How Can I Remove the Finder Icon From the Dock?

    Hi! Can someone tell me how to remove the Finder icon from the dock? I don't even care if Finder quits. I just want it removed from the dock. I really don't care if I can't get to my files. Please help.

    Start by going to your core services, (/system/library/coreservices). You can do this by pressing Shift+Cmd+G and then paste (/system/library/coreservices), without parentheses.
    After doing this, find Dock.app, right click, show package contents. This doesn't contain the icons on your dock, just finder and trash.
    After that, move all finder services to the desktop, and then erase them from the core services folder. At this point it will prompt you to put in your password, do so.
    Next you'll want to open terminal and type 'killall dock' or, you could restart your computer.
    This should remove the finder icon from your dock, while still giving you access to it from your desktop.
    Hope this helps!

  • Two finder icons in my dock and other issues

    For some reason, in my dock, two finder icons are appearing. The default finder icon, which is not running and has no white indicator under it, and a default application style icon that launches right after login with the label "Finder" which is basically the finder but launches like a third party application?! When I quit the running finder icon, the finder restarts, so this second icon really is running as the finder!
    Also: When i click on the trash it no longer opens, when I try to empty the trash from the dock nothing happens, and (this is the best part) when I click and hold on a stack, and select "Show in finder", Entourage launches and tries to compress that folder in an email message. Super bizarre! Like really bizarre.
    Please any help would be great before I do something drastic like archive and install.
    I have a screenshot of this but can't seem to post it here.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, burbaget.
    Create a new account, name it "test" and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.) This account is just for test, do nothing further with it.
    Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" make it an admin account.
    If the problem is present in the test account also, then it is systemwide. In this case try repairing this with the 10.5.5 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
    Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.
    If the problem does not appear in the test account try starting in "Safe Mode" (It will take a bit more time to startup because it runs a directory check first).
    If that works go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items and remove them. Boot normally and test. If there are still problems, go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving /Users/Home)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
    Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
    Let us know.

  • Can anyone ID this problem? Finder icon started bouncing, unresponsive, now Safe Mode reboot stops 1/3 in and shuts down iMac. Virus?

    This started yesterday. I switch on the computer, go into my User account and the Finder icon was bouncing in the deck while a window flashed on about Restoring Windows though you could never click on it because...it kept flashing. The folders on my desktop disappeared so I went into a secondary user account and opened it to find a virus scan. That user account had no issue with the bouncing Finder icon. I downloaded ClamXav and ran it but that being a rarely used user account, it found nothing infected. I went back in in Safe Mode and was able to see my invisible files but the Finder being unresponsive, I could basically only look at them. Also, I couldn't activate ClamXav after downloading it in that user account. All it did was allow me to see my files.
    This morning, while I switched on the computer the Safe Mode came on without me holding down the Shift key. Sadly, it didn't get past the third of the little progress bar before shutting down the computer. This happened trying to open either user accounts. I'm shut out. I'm so shocked this happened. I called the ISP and he said everything was normal at his end, naturally in spite of a lot of freezing and not allowing more than one device on wifi at a time. This is an upgraded Internet service after moving to a new place. Otherwise for the few moments it lights up to show me the two users at log in, nothing is visually wrong.
    If this has ever happened to anyone, please enlighten me. I've called a Mac repair shop and expect to bring my iMac in. It's barely two years old. : (

  • Finder Icon will not change! Please help!

    I have been customizing the look of of my dockbar on my imac by giving all of my apps new ios 7 style icons.
    Yesterday I changed my Finder icon with no problem at all by going to:
    System→Library→Core Services→(right click 'Dock'→Show Package Contents)→Contents→Resources.
    And replacing the two png files (finder.png) and ([email protected]) with my new images. Yesterday I did this all perfectly fine and it changed to my new icon.
    However today I found a better finder icon and decided to change it again to this new version. However what ever I try it will not change to this new icon.
    I have followed the exact same steps as before, I have replaced my two png files from yesterday with my new ones and I have checked and re-checked that I am naming the files correctly, and that they are the right format etc.
    I have even deleted my original icons that I changed it to yesterday and emptied them from the trash but it is still there even after restarting and shutting down and rebooting.
    I have also tried going to terminal and typing 'killall Dock', it still returns with the same icon that I changed it to yesterday, even though I have deleted them from my hard drive.
    Please help me this is so frustrating and have wasted many many hours on this.
    (I am on mavericks btw)

    iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
    Then, update your profile/product info. BTW, I have nothing for the icon problem.

  • How do I fix a corrupted Finder icon in the Dock

    Hello,
    My Finder icon has spontaneously corrupted in the Dock. The icon of the Finder.app (in the CoreServices folder) is perfectly fine and its icon the Resources folder of the Dock.app is also perfectly fine.
    Yet, the icon of Finder is corrupted in the dock as shown here: http://img802.imageshack.us/img802/2973/dockimage.png and in the picture below
    Any ideas, anyone?
    My specs are as follows:

    Have you tried removing all files containing com.apple.dock from the Preferences folder in your HOME Library folder and in the ByHost subfolder of the Preferences folder, then restarting the Dock (or logout/login)?
    (To get to the home Library folder, hold option key down while using the Finder Go menu, select Library. Or use the "Go to Folder...." option and paste in
    ~/Library/Preferences .)

  • Dragging file to Finder-icon in dock doesn't open Finder

    Dragging a file from my desktop (e.g. a jpg) to the Finder Icon (so I can archive it in a folder), doesn't open Finder.
    The icon in the dock does blink for a second, and then doesn't open FInder, but shows an empty desktop...
    What to do?

  • Unable to boot - flashing finder icon with question mark.

    Hi all,
    I just got a friends old xserv G5 to learn Mac and the server suite on. He gave me the OSX Server install disk (10.5 I believe) with the license keys.
    I get the XServe into "Target Disk Mode" by turning it on holding T and plugging my friends Intel Pro MacBook into it VIA FireWire. We install the Server 10.5 to the Server Disk fine, no issues. All options checked. Then upon reboot we shutdown everything and try to boot the server up on it's own and then this is where we get the flashing finder icon problem...
    Here's what we've tried:
    I think the Firmware is locked because when I try to power on holding power + system identifier button, both rows flash instead of the one, here's what I've done
    Tried removing a memory module, booting with command, alt, p + r, no effect.
    Clear NVRM by pressing button behind PSU on mainboard of xserve. No effect.
    Unplugging and removing battery for minute, to clear. No effect.
    I guess what I'm trying to do is clear the firmware lock so I can direct the xserve to select the startup disk by pressing F1 / D as I'm assuming that's what the issue is?
    Any thoughts?

    I'm not sure about the dl-DVD thing. I'm trying to remember how I installed 10.5 on my G5 boxes (it's been a while) and I know I used the Administrator computer as described in the Getting Started guide, but I don't remember if I imaged the DVD to a firewire drive.
    The easiest short-cut for that is to image the DVD onto a firewire drive and attach that to the Xserve and run it as the install media. It's much faster to install this way as well. Use Disk Utility to image the DVD onto an external firewire and then boot holding down the option key - choose the drive and then use the notebook as an "Administrator computer" as described in the guide. The only hold-ups are the IP space issues and make sure you know the Xserve serial number. In theory I think you can also use another computer with the DVD in the drive running in firewire mode but now you're up to three computers instead of 2 plus a firewire drive.
    I've never been a fan of the notebook>>Xserve install process even before architecture issues arose. The Xserve has special hardware monitoring capabilities that you would lose when installing booted from a non-Xserve box. I know 10.5 was supposed to install a "global" image that would run on both platforms but I wouldn't trust it even if they said you could.

  • Clicking Finder Icon in Dock Doesn't Open New Finder Window

    On my MBP with Lion, the left clicking the finder icon does nothing.  It doesn't even change the menu bar focus to finder.    I can right click and then open a new window.    This works like I am accustomed to on my MBP with Lion. 
    Any ideas to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Geraldo.

    Open Terminal, type
    killall Dock
    and press 'return' on the keyboard.
    That will solve the issue temporarily. But to fix it permanently you need to go find the 3rd party software that is causing the conflict, probably in your Login Items if a restart didn't fix it. Look here:
     > System Preferences... > Users & Groups | Login Items
    Likely suspects are things like
    Total Spaces
    Path Finder
    BetterTouchTool
    BetterFinder
    but the list of possibilities is endless. Easiset thing to do is just remove EVERYTHING from your login items.
