Importing photos - custom icon images

Whenever I import photos from a digital camera into iPhoto, the icons in finder are thumbnails of the actual photo. Is there any way to prevent this from happening, and have all the files have the default icon?

Yes. While in the a folder in the icon mode select the View->Show View Options menu option. Then uncheck the box "Show icon preview" and click the All Windows radio button. That will turn off viewing the icons in the Finder.
If you want it only for one or two folders then do it for those folders and do not select the All Windows option.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Custom Icon Images for Folders in KM

Hello Everyody,
I have to display folders such as Pesonal Documents, Public documents, Recently used, Favourites etc which are there in the entry point repository in KM. Right now all these folders are being displayed with the default icon image specified. I want to replace these default images with custom images but couldnt see any property where i can change the image path for these folders. I checked the details of all these folders and even went through the properties but there it shows only the default image name speciefied for that folder and no active settings where i can change the image path for custom icon. Kindly suggest how to implement custom image for KM folder icons.
Thanking you all in advance,
Regards,
Sarabjeet.

Hi,
If I understood, you have a KM navigation iview, where some folders apperar. You want to change the icon for each of them differently.
For this do the following:
First have a look into the KM.navigation iview and get the layout set property. Go to System config->KM->Content management->User interface->Settings->LayoutSet and find the layout set you are using. Go to appropriate resource renderer and check the "Icon setting". Change it to: iconreplace.
Now get the KM details for your folders and change the IconSource property to your image Example:
/etc/public/mimes/images/add.gif
Voila...the icons for these folders are changed!
Hope this is your case.

Import photos to FCP Images stretch out

While I import photos to FCP, it stretch the images, I have been change the images size to 720x480, and adjust setting to 16:9 or 4:3, the problem still there, look like wide screen images fitting into the full screen.
any help will be appreciate.
Tks
Pai

Don't make your photos 720x480, because FCP will stretch them.
Make your photos another size, hopefully a larger size, and then FCP will see them as square pixels and so will then not make them fill the screen.

Import Photos - Show Preview - images don't show

In "Import Photos", I select "Show Preview",
Actual images are not visible.
Image numbers show on each place holder.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching Photos. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Custom icon image for folders not showing up in dock

I have used custom icons for years for various folders so I don't have to read through names of folders to know what's in them. With Leopard (10.5.2), the folder icons are visible up on the desktop and everywhere else; however, when I drag a folder with a special icon to the dock,it becomes a normal blue folder again. Why can't the folder in the dock retain the special icon I have assigned to it?

right click on the folder after placing it on the dock and choose display as folder.

Issues with importing photos in an image sequence!

Hi all,
Just at work and we're doing a rather large Time Lapse photography project which I and another colleague are editing within Adobe Premiere. After gathering a large selection of images we decided it was time to have a go at doing a first edit. Opened Premiere and made a new project etc. and have made a couple of practice runs with different pictures but I opened the pictures (File/Import) and then tried to import all of the pictures but I can't tick "Image Sequence", which is greyed out. Does anyone know why? I assumed it was due to the fact that it was importing them off an external drive but I put them on the MacBook just to make sure but it still wouldn't import them. I then tried to import less pictures at a time still to no avail.
Being flat out of ideas just thought I would ask what I would consider experts with more knowledge than myself for a hand! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help, with this being a work project I am eager to get started as soon as possible!

might be the filename convention stuff... like if you have filenames that have a lot of weird characters and no easily discernable " number" sequence it might not be recognizing them as a potential sequence. I'm on a pc and use a program called " renamer "... which I got for free I think.. off internet.. and it works great for renaming stuff in a folder...
what I do is put a group of files in a specific folder ( like maybe a temp directory I make just for the purpose of renaming files ).. and use renamer on that stuff...
It's a little tricky so experiment with one file so you know it is working the way you expect... ( adding rules and using wildcards and so on ). If you post a sample of one of your filenames in the sequence someone may be able to tell you definitively what is up ...
good luck
edit.. an afterthought.. post 2 filenames that you think are sequential... and that way we can see how it is progressing re: numbers, dates, whatever.... and also someone could test it ( like I could create 2 files in ps using those names and see if it works to import as sequence.. and also see what renamer rules would work to fix it if it needs fixing ) ???

I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

Custom Icons and photos in pop-up boxes not showing up in My Google Maps

I created a special map in Google Maps called Tagworts in 2009. It has custom icons which show in Safari but not in Firefox (16.0.2). These items are also supposed to appear in the side panel where all the information related to each place is listed. The pop-up boxes which link to the icons on the map do not show the photos which used to be there (this is also the case with Safari).
I can't tell if the map works or not in other browsers. I need the map to work for a job application (the map is part of my work portfolio).
Is this a combination of problems with updates in both Firefox and Google?

Works here in Firefox 16.
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
If images are missing then check that you aren't blocking images from some domains.
*Check the permissions for the domain in the current tab in "Tools > Page Info > Permissions"
*Check that images are enabled: Firefox > Preferences > Content: [X] Load images automatically
*Check the exceptions in "Firefox > Preferences > Content: Load Images > Exceptions"
*Check the "Tools > Page Info > Media" tab for blocked images (scroll through all the images with the cursor Down key).
If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
Make sure that you do not block third-party images, the permissions.default.image pref should be 1.
There are also extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) and security software (firewall, anti-virus) that can block images.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Iphoto 11 import problem. My camera is importing photos as 4x4. I see a single image in the preview window, but the import is 4x4. I just imported from a different camera and that one was OK. I can't find any setting to change to fix this problem

I am having a new problem in IPhoto'11. An older camera is importing photos as 4x4 (16 copies to a single image). In the preview pane the photos are fine (single copy per image). I have tried disconnecting and reconnecting but the problem repeats. Earlier I had a successful import from a different camera.
I can't find any settings to change this. Help!

Sorry but I do not understand your question
As to importing iPhoto simply copies the photos to the iPhoto llibrary - no changes of any sort are made

I have been using Lightroom 5 for 2-3 months now and all worked well, up until today's effort to import a new set of photos. I am working on a Mac with Yosemite 10.10.1.

Go to the bibliothec module, select the folder, right click on the folder and hit synchronize

Image Capture sends error message when importing photos from my camera

I tried to import photos from my Fuji FinePix JX600 using Iphoto. Received an error notice and was unable to import. Tried Image Capture and it imported 220 of 407 pictures and then sent an error notice. Very frustrated. It's a new camera and I never had any problem with my old camera. Can anyone tell me what the issue may be and how to resolve it?
Thanks

Good afternoon
There seem to be a number of possibilities.
Here is a thread that conatins a number of solutions. The most common one is to load 50 pics at a time.

TS3195 since installing ios7 on my ipad I can no longer import photos to my Mac using Image Capture or even Preview. The device appears in the device list, but no photos appear. Anyone have a solution for this? Is it another glitch in ios7?

Hi - I just dowloaded io7 to to my mini ipad and now cannot upload the photos on it to my Mac - which I was able to do with the old system, and still can do with my old first generation Ipad. Very annoying. The device appears in the list in Image Capture and Preview, but no photos appear. Is there a way around this? It is the quickest and best way of transferring photos from a mobile device to the computer - but has iOS 7 messed this up???

Hi I have figured it out on my own just today coz what apple suggested didn't help much so I just have to do it by myself.
This is what you need to do:
open your computer and search for autoplay, it will open rightaway and then scroll down look for your device then change "ask everything" to "import photos and videos in windows" connect your ipad again then tthe import box will open.. and your good!
i hope this will help you. Good luck! :-)
