Increase RSS preview size

Love the RSS feed in Mail 3.0(912.1/912).
Wonder if I can increase the size of the RSS message preview.

I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but I installed this nifty little Mail plugin that rearranges the interface into three vertical columns. I like it much better than the default pane arrangement (and this makes more sense given that wide-screen monitors are the norm now. Check it out:

Here's another similar one, but I like the first one better (although now I can't remember why....)

  • Increase font preview size?

    I'm not seeing an option to increase the preview size of the font list.  Is this still available?  (Not talking about the UI size, just the list of installed fonts and their preview).
    Also, would like to suggest a way of having PS recognize fonts outside of the Windows directory.  Not sure why that changed, but having to install every font that I only use in Adobe PS is annoying.

    Thanks guys   I swear I did not see that last night!

  • Preview.app increases PDF file size.

    When making changes to a PDF (in my case, creating annotations), Preview.app will increase the file size of a PDF if that PDF was run through Acrobat Pro's "Reduce File Size" process. For example, I have a PDF that I created using a Book2Net book scanner. I then used Acrobat Pro 10 to OCR the file, then ran Reduce File size which shrank the file size from almost 1.6gb down to about 62mb. If I use Preview.app to make an annotation and then save the file, Preview.app will inflate the file back up to 1.6gb.
    An earlier thread (https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1478588?start=0&tstart=0) also discusses a similar issue. I'm not sure if those folks were also working with PDFs that were reduced in size by Acrobat Pro or not.
    Anyone else have this issue?
    10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro.

    That is not normal. same action with acrobat and skim do not do this. Changing file size from 170mb to 780mb (my case) should not be expected.
    Preview re-formats the file (which takes a while the first "save"). It may even make scrolling and searching for text faster, but is not desirable all the time.
    There is NO explanation from Apple in help or online. Keeping things simple is one thing, having unexpected and unexplained behavior is another.
    Last preview update made it pretty much useless for annotations anyways.
    Choosing "text" annotation used to allow for clicking anywhere on the pdf and start typing. Now, it automatically creates a text box at the center of page that has to be the dragged (and make sure not dragging other annotations with it). click T multiple times, multiple text boxes on top of each other.
    I never thought I would look at Windows users with jealousy. What a bad job they are doing.

  • Preview increases pdf file size when saving

    When I save a PDF journal article using Preview, it often increases the file size by 2x - 4x, regardless of whether I have added annotations. In the attached image, you can see I downloaded a journal article (2.3 MB), opened it in Preview, duplicated and saved it and the resulting copied file was 6.1 MB.
    This is a problem because I it signifiantly increases the size of my synced reference library. It is worse with larger files (25 MB eBooks that increase to 80 MB).
    Can anyone help me find a way to annotate a journal article and preserve the original file size? I have tried Adobe Reader (awful and buggy interface, but preserves the original size!), and several other PDF apps (e.g. Skim) seem to rely on Apple's PDF engine where the file results in a larger size as well. Using Quartz filters to reduce file size within Preview is not effective. I'm happy to purchase a program if it works well.

    I have also experienced this issue.    My PDF file of 300MB increased to over 900MB when I simply put one straight line annotation onto it.     Effectively this made the PDF unusable since it is now very slow to open and it is too large to transfer onto my iPad.     I've experienced this multiple times with a variety of PDF files, and so now simply avoid changing them in any way in Preview.   I have written to Apple via apple.com/feedback and have talked to Apple store 'Geniuses' about this.   Apparently it is a known issue, but there was no promise of a resolution.    I love the way Preview opens quickly and displays files and also allows beautiful, smooth scrolling of PDFs.     It's a pity that there's this enormous problem with annotating.     If anyone knows of a solution, it would be great to hear.     I've tried other PDF programmes such as Adobe for Mac, but wasn't too impressed.

  • Preview.app increases PDF file size after deleting pages

    Hello, I'm experiencing odd behavior with Preview.app and PDFs.
    If I open a PDF with Preview, delete a page, then save the file, the file size increases anywhere form 2x to 20x. This happens both with PDFs that only contain text and PDFs that contain text and graphics. It is very frustrating because I start with a file that is 150KB, remove some pages and end up with a 10MB monster that I can't email to people.
    Any help is appreciated. I can post a link to a test PDF for people to try to replicate with if it would be useful.

    I generated the file with pdftex. I'm guessing that there must be different ways to encode a PDF and when Preview gets something with an encoding other than that provided by PDFKit, it rewrites the file how it likes. In my case this is increasing the file sizes. I tried finding docs about PDFKit on the Apple developer site, but couldn't find any details about ways of encoding a PDF.

  • How can I increase the thumbnail size when using Safari to upload an image to a website?

    I upload many images to multiple websites and when using Safari to upload these images, the thumbnails are so small I can barely make out what the image is. I can easily figure out how to increase the thumbnail size when viewing them in Finder and set the default to my liking, but I cannot seem to find a way to do this in Safari. The last topic I saw on this was form 2013 and have not seen any update. Is there a way to do this?

    Delete all unused, invisible layers.
    Sometimes zip compression is better than jpg compression (in the pdf output settings). Zip is lossless, and works better with non gradient colour or no images.
    Flattening the image before you save it to pdf can reduce the file size if you are using jpg compression.
    Post a preview of your pdf and we can comment further on how to reduce the file size.

  • Do Leopard icons increase the file size?

    In programs like Photoshop you have the option of including a preview or a thumbnail icon for the image you’re saving. This is important to know because, if you are making a web page or trying to fit as many files as possible on a disk, you want the file sizes to be as small as possible, and you do not want the images saved with a thumbnail icon or preview.
    In Leopard, in list and icon views, I noticed that the files have an icon whether you had these settings turned on in Photoshop or not. How does this work? Are those icons in the finder being embedded into the file or is Leopard some somehow generating them “on the fly” and not increasing the file size of the individual images? Does Cover Flow work the same way, and generate the previews on the fly rather than embedding anything into the images?

    Unless you've given a file a custom icon, through the Finder, Photoshop, or another method, the icons are generated elsewhere in the system and aren't part of the file itself.

  • Speed-up? - Force a rebuild of Preview Size

    Folks
    Many people say they experience an increase in speed by having smaller previews. The default Preview size, in 1.5, as set in Preferences under 'Limit Preview Size' is 'Don't Limit'.
    If you alter this setting to a smaller setting it does not alter the size of your existing Previews. Some folks suggest throwing away all your Previews and starting again. However - Tech article 304345 suggests an easier/better way
    Aperture: Previews do not update after changing Limit Preview Size Preference
    Solution:
    Issue or symptom
    After you change the Limit Preview Size setting in Aperture's Preferences, existing previews are not changed, even if you choose Images > Update Previews.
    Products affected
    Aperture 1.5
    Solution
    Changing the Limit Preview Size setting does not mark existing previews as out of date. In order to force existing previews to be regenerated using a new size setting, select the desired images, press Option and choose Images > Generate Previews.

    Is there a way to easily tell which pictures have unwanted preview sizes? I started building previews (36,000 pictures)with the aperture default setting (unlimited size) and a day-and-a-half (approximately 24,000 pictures) later switched to the size recommended for my display. Aperture is definetly running slower than before I updated to 1.5. If there isn't an easy way to identify and resize the "unlimited size" photos, am I better off just deleting all previews and rebuilding them from scratch, or should I just rebuild as needed for purposes of ilife integration? I like the idea of being able to view all pictures in my Aperture library for purposes of using in other applications but if it is in fact slowing down Aperture I will happily rebuild.

  • Should I match STD preview size to native screen resolution or the resolution I am actually using?

    My iMac 27" monitor is 2560 pixels wide but I run it on a screen resolution of 2048 x 1152. Would it be a waste for me to set the Lightroom Standard Preview Size to size to the setting of 2880? I am thinking I should set the Standard Preview Size to 2048 to save space on my hard drive. What do you think?
    When I set my monitor to the native resolution the text on menus etc is pretty hard to see with my tired old eyes. Is there a disadvantage to using  2048 x 1152 on my 27" monitor when using Lightroom?

    If I were you, I'd use Jeffrey Friedl's Online Lightroom Configurator to bump the font-size of the text, and leave the monitor resolution at 2560 (and standard previews at 2880). Unless of course you can't see image detail all that well either with the increased resolution. There may be some text that jf's configurator can't reach - dunno, but it may be worth a shot..
    If bumping font size (and monitor rez) doesn't pan out, then the answer is yes: 2048 is sufficient resolution for standard previews, at a monitor rez of 2048.

  • DNG Conversion - preview size

    In lightroom when converting files to DNG on the pop-up screen is the Choice:  Size of the Preview file: Large, Medium or Do not create.
    1. what is the file size for large and medium?
    2. What is the impact of NOT creating a preview?  When I've tested NOT creating a file I can still open the file in my lightroom grid and loupe view.  I can also view it in Windows vista Preview when right clicking on the image file on my hard drive.
    3. Where do these "Previews" come into play?
    4. Also, I have noticed that if I convert a JPEG file to DNG the file size is about 4x larger. Should I reserve DNG for only my raw files such as my .mrw and .cr2?  Has anyone else observed an increase in file size after DNG conversion?
    5. What is the deal with DNG anyway?  I havn't seen the big manufactures like Canon with the new EOS-1D Mark IV and Nikon's new D3s,include the DNG as a file format selection on their cameras. What do they know that I don't, about DNG?

    1. what is the file size for large and medium?
    Medium is screen sized, the other option is full sized, not large.
    2. What is the impact of NOT creating a preview?  When I've tested NOT creating a file I can still open the file in my lightroom grid and loupe view.  I can also view it in Windows vista Preview when right clicking on the image file on my hard drive.
    Lightroom generates it's own preview. It's just handy for portability, so how the file looks is available to programs that can't understand the internal settings.
    3. Where do these "Previews" come into play?
    Lightroom will use them in Library intially. Like I said above, it's handy for other programs for managing and printing with the Lightroom settings, especially with a full sized preview.
    4. Also, I have noticed that if I convert a JPEG file to DNG the file size is about 4x larger. Should I reserve DNG for only my raw files such as my .mrw and .cr2?  Has anyone else observed an increase in file size after DNG conversion?
    You should. The JPEG doesn't get converted to a Raw, it's just convenient to have all DNG. The increase happens because Lightroom removes the JPG compression AFAIK.
    5. What is the deal with DNG anyway?  I havn't seen the big manufactures like Canon with the new EOS-1D Mark IV and Nikon's new D3s,include the DNG as a file format selection on their cameras. What do they know that I don't, about DNG?
    Nikon and Canon have proprietary information in their Raw files. Yes it's rather a pain when they release a new camera. Sticking to a DNG format would really help with this, if they came on board. DNG is just a way of providing a common Raw format. 

  • Can Finder windows Always preview images? Can the Preview size be changed?

    I would like to have my Finder windows always open so that when viewing a list of images and clicking on one, the preview is displayed as if the arrow has been clicked to open the preview.
    How is that controlled?
    Also, I was wondering if that preview size can change. I thought that if I increases the size of that 'cell' in the wondow that the preview would grow but that's not the case. Can I change the preview size?

    It's not altogether clear to me exactly what you want, but if you open a folder of images and put the window into column view, you can drag the last preview column until it displays the maximum size preview of 255 pixels in width or height. However, not all thumbs are created equal, and not all will display at that maximum size, some are limited to the usual icon maximum of 128 pixels. Thus the jpegs I download from my camera will have a max of 128, but if I have opened and saved the image as a Photoshop file the max will be 255. Screenshots in png format also have the 255 maximum. Large jpegs I download (which do not have a custom thumb) will also display at the 255 max in Column view. Just depends on the file.

  • How do I increase the font size of my app group names?

    At the moment the font is too small and hard to read without glasses on. Does anybody know how the font size of the app groups that I have created can be increased in size or the app names in general? I have found the option to increase the font size in mail etc but not for app names. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    You can't.

  • How can I increase the font size of my email when I print it out, it is printing tiny

    How can I increase the font size when I print out emails, it is printing tiny size?

    In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
    The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • How do I increase the font size in my email and maintain resolution.

    Hi folks. Mr Newbie is seeking some help, I hope it is relatively straight forward, thanks
    How do I increase the font size in my standard email and document views without losing resolution.  Right now my font size in email, headers and text is less than that on my iPhone, it rather defeats the point of having a 27" screen if most of it is blank and I have to sit with my nose to the screen to read email.  Thanks for your help, once you have stopped laughing.  C

    Two things you can do to easily aid with readability in Mail are as follows:
    1) Increase the size of folders in the sidebar:
    a) select "system preferences" from the Apple menu
    b) select "general settings"
    c) select small, medium or large under "sidebar icon size"
    2) Increase the text in the main body of the email (both sent and received):
    a) select "preferences" from the Mail menu
    b) select "fonts and colors"
    c) adjust font size for "message list font" and "message font".  I have noticed this works properly while in classic mode, but in regular mode the message list font doesn't appear to change size.
    Select classic mode by accessing Mail preferences and selecting the "viewing" tab.
    Another shortcut is to right click on the toolbar, then select "customize toolbar", and then drag the "smaller / bigger" buttons onto the toolbar.  Now you can decrease and increase font size as desired on the fly.
