Konqueror and svg file thumbnail icons [SOLVED]

I was telled that konqueror can make a thumbnail icon of the svg files just as it does with other file formats (jpg, png, ...) but it doesn't seem to be working in my box.
Did anyone had the same problem before?
Does anyone has any idea?
Thanks   

not the most elegant one, but it worked now.
I tried kde 3.4.2 from testing and got the same result, so i used abs to build kdebase-3.4.2 from source and patched kioslave/thumbnails/picturecreator.cpp from :
ThumbCreator *new_creator()
to
KDE_EXPORT ThumbCreator *new_creator()
rebuild the picturethumbnail.so library and replace the system one with the fresh one and now previewing svg images in konqueror works as it should.
Since i have no idea about kde or kde development, I'm just a new KDE user, so i don't know if this was a bug just in my box, in the arch KDE package or in KDE. I'd appreciate any info from another user or developer.

  • Returning file thumbnail/icons to their original

    i understand that to change the icon/thumbnail of a file i can ctrl click it to get info then paste an image i have previously copied to the icon selected in the top left corner of the get info window and the new icon will appear
    for some reason this will not work to reverse it, basically i have a few /mp3 files whose icons should be the itunes mp3 logo (disc and music note) but instead it is something else, is there a way to revert this back to its original icon look?
    ive tried copying the icon from an mp3 icon which has the original and pasting it onto the one i want to change but its not working
    help please???
    thanks

    problem solved, its because i had the how view folder options set to thumbnail preview, thread can be closed, thanks

  • Enable video file and image file thumbnails WITHOUT enabling thumbnails for other filetypes

    Hello. I am new to Mac and pulling my hair out at some of the limited UI options
    I am wanting my image-files and video-files to appear in Finder (desktop etc) as thumbnails
    However, I DON'T want PDFs, Excel, Word, PowerPoint files to have a preview thumbnail
    Basically how things are now either way, it's very cumbersome visually to distinguish between file-types while cruising around my folders with a quick glance.
    if thumbnail previews are on for all, its hard to tell at a quick glance which are PDFs, Excel files vs. images
    similarly, the little "pdf" or "xlsx" or "docx" text overlay on these previews is so small and non-color coded as to be useless for quick-glance recognition of which filetype
    if thumbnails are off, it's impossible to glance at files in a folder and know which image or video each is without wasting my precious miliseconds clicking on them, or trying to actually read truncated filenames
    Here are some possible solutions which I hope somebody knows how to do:
    globally enable or disable icon previews by filetype (preferred)
    stipulate adding overlayed mini icons to certain filetypes
    example: if it's a pdf, show the icon preview, but overlayed on that would be the red Adobe pdf icon/logo roughly a quarter of the size of the file icon (like is possible in Windows 7).
    this way image and video previews can be seen at a glance, but having a big red or green or blue logo makes for immediate recognition of filetype
    (least prefered but could help) ...somehow change the font color and increase the font size of the overlayed "pdf" "xlsx" "doc" "pptx"currently standard on these filetypes while showing icon preview but ALL are miniscule black text no matter which filetype
    I'm quite dumbfounded right now that something for better immediate-glance filetype recognition isn't standard, or at least easily Google'able. All I've found is the Either/Other bamboozle.
    Would love it to hear of a solution for this. Thanks all.

  • Display previews of SVG files (thumbnails)

    In Bridge CS5's Preview panel, SVG files show up as icons only. Please integrate SVG into this function.
    Note: David Blatner says SVG is coming back as a hot topic (for e-pubs) in a 6/18/10 blog post, "SVG Import and Export Means Better ePubs" -- http://indesignsecrets.com/svg-import-and-export-means-better-epubs.php
    Thanks.

    Here's another user in favor of SVG previews. Since Adobe pulled the plug on its SVG viewer, it's that much more reason that Bridge should pick up that role. If Adobe software can import or export the format, it should be viewable in Bridge.

  • Iphoto and avi file thumbnail problem

    I have a imported my photo library into iphoto 08 but the thumbnails for the short vids taken on my camera do not show up- I just get a black thumbnail with a video camera in the corner. Is there a way to add the first shot of the video to these files or is there a way to import them where I will get the thumbnails?
    Any help is appreciated. I have had my (first) mac since January and this is the first thing I couldn't work out easily for myself...

    When you import a movie iPhoto grabs the first frame and uses it as a thumbnail. If the first frame is blank, well then that's what you got.
    iPhoto is a photo manager - that is, it's a database with a built-in image viewer. But the key factor is the database. iPhoto cannot work with images that have not been imported.
    I have no idea why you're moving photos around like this.
    Are you running a Managed Library or a Referenced Library?
    If you're running a Managed library, then it's the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing
    If you're running a Referenced Library, then you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced and iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing.

  • Movie File Thumbnails help

    I am trying to give my movie files thumbnails/icons of thier respective movie dvd covers and every time I drag the image to the "get info" icon area it changes to an icon of a "jpeg" instead of the actual image desired. Help!
    I have done this same process in months past and did not have a problem and all of a sudden I have run into this dilema. I do not want to download any extra programs. I just need to know why this isnt working anymore. Very Sad ):

    Hi Livilove23,
    If you are having issues changing the icon of your files by dragging and dropping the image in Get Info, you may want to try copy and paste, as outlined in the following article:

  • Picture to thumbnail icon

    For many years I've been using two apps to convert pictures into thumbnail icons for my desktop - Pic2Icon and Thumbnail Pro. Now I've switched to Leopard and they no longer work. They make an icon, but the drop shadow function and other functions don't work so the icons are just flat and not as nice.
    Do you know of any software for Mac that can take a JPEG or PNG file and make a thumbnail icon with a drop shadow?
    Thanks for your time,
    Scott

    Hi jsd2,
    Thanks for that suggestion of CocoThumbX. I downloaded it and it did create a thumbnail picture, however when viewing it in 'Columns' view, the large area of 'border' around the image (in the form of a black film strip) means the image is scaled down so much that it is difficult to see what it is and I generally still have to click on it to force Preview to open in the next column to allow me to see which clip it is. I know I could use 'Icons' view, but I'm also converting some files to MPEG4 using iSquint, and when the 'Add' window opens in iSquint to allow me to select the file/s I want to convert I have the problem of the tiny images not being quite big enough for me to decipher what they are. The original thumbnail pictures (when it decides it will display a thumbnail picture!) are only marginally bigger but it is still better.
    I've tried to get rid of the black border in the CocoThumbX thumbnails in the hope that the image can then fill the entire allocated space, but cannot find a way. Do you know if it can be removed, or possibly of another utility that has no border?
    I would appreciate your further advice, thanks.
    Cheers,
    Lehla

  • PDF File Type Icon Not Displaying HELP!!!

    Hey guys!
    I have a quick question that I need resolved. Make sure you READ before you respond as people seem to be having trouble with this one.
    Something happened on my system to where .pdf files aren't displaying the PDF file type image anymore. They're just displaying the Windows default non-associated file icon.
    But the weird thing is that the .pdf file type IS associated with Adobe Acrobat, and when double clicked they DO open in Acrobat.
    I checked inside of Acorbat.dll and the file type icon IS in there...so this is leading me to believe that something is messed up in the registry to where Windows doesn't know to link a .pdf with the icon inside of Acrobat.dll.
    So my question is this...how do I RELINK the .pdf file type with the PDF file type icon located inside of Acrobat.dll???

    Before you start editing the registry try the suggestions given in the FAQ:
    http://www.adobeforums.com/webx/.3bbc2da9
    failing that try doing a repair of acrobat from the help menu.
    If still no joy let us know.

  • Moving 20 or more Files in Icon Form to a New Folder

    Hey everyone, I've finally gotten around to hitting the forums to inquire about this.
    I like to organize many of my folder, file, and desktop files in Icon view and put them together according to their grouping. Once my desktop would get too cluttered I would go through and clean it up by placing it into sub-folders.
    This use to be dandy until the time of one of the OS upgrades, I think from Snow Leopard, but it could have been Leopard. Now, whenever I move 21 or more files into a new folder, the first 20 are fine, but everything after the 20th start to be placed into a grid type of mode. [The pictures below will kind of help demonstrate, I've talked to AppleCare where they repeated the conundrum, and suggested these forums]
    Anyways, is there some cap or limit I could change either via Terminal or something? Its really annoying having to move and make icons in 20 file increments, so any help is appreciated.
    Thanks!

    First, I have a question: your profile says you're on Tiger (10.4.x), but you mention Leopard and Snow Leopard - what is the current OS version you are using?
    And, before I try to understand and help, I wonder why you appear to be using the desktop as your filing cabinet so to speak? Or do you file your folders elsewhere after the content has been organized? Having that many files on your desktop will slow down your startup - Finder has to open each and every one of those. I created a folder within the Documents folder which has thousands of files and many sub folders in it - it is not on the desktop though; I dragged its' alias to the dock for one click access.
    Now, to your issue - did you make sure that you have your view preferences set correctly for all the folders? Even if that is so, I can see that dragging 20 or more folders containing more than 30 GB all at once could result in some glitches. I never use icon view myself (preferring column view) because it would sometimes just not wind up in the order I wanted. So, unless someone can come up with a more definitive idea, I'd say you need to drag fewer folders or try list or column view to see if it works better.

  • Why having displayed both generic icons for the PDF and JPEG files and automatic preview of the JPEG files in an ordinary folder are mutually exclusive in Win7?

    In Win7 Pro all my:
    PDF documents, with the 'Large Icons' option chosen in the View tab, display contents of their first page with a tiny thumbnail in the icon's lower right corner, instead of a generic PDF icon.
    JPEG files show Icon size photos, instead of a generic Nero 9 PhotoSnap Essentials icon.
    Folders containing the JPEG photos, however, automatically show preview, when opened, which is desirable feature.
    I found that the Win7 option "Always show icons never thumbnails" in the View tab: Windows Explorer -> Tools -> Folder Options, (where ironically the present 'thumbnails' have nothing to do with 'Thumbnails' from the View option in WinXP), causes the unwanted effects described in points 1 & 2, when unchecked.
    Checking this option solves the problem of the PDF and Nero icons. This time, however, I can only see a Nero 9 PhotoSnap Essentials icons, instead of photos preview on opening of any standard folder with the JPEG photos.
    Did I make a mistake somewhere or maybe Microsoft made changes in Win7 with respect to WinXP, which make it impossible to have both the features working at the same time?

  • HELP! Files won't open and previously had Firefox icon instead of DW icons!  Leap Year thing?

    Hi!  I went to update my website, which I do every night before the first day of every month and all the files had a FIrefox icon instead of the usual Dreamweaver one.  I have shut down, reinstalled DW MX 2004 but the files still do not open.  The icons have now changed to DW but they are not opening with right click, opening from Applications folder, double clicking the file, from get info and open with DW.  I am stumped. HELP!  Need to update for March 1st.
    Is it something to do with Leap Year 29th Feb?  Checked the clock in preferences but can't see how this affects it.
    Firefox is always updated but the latest version does not seem to be as efficient as previous upgrades.  We installed Chrome as well.  Do they interfere with each other?

    were backed up before the installation, which went fine.

    We used Disc Warrior to defrag the hard drive, which did not make a
    difference.
    We recently started using Chrome, so now have 3 browsers in the dock,
    Safari, Firefox and Chrome.  Do they interfere in any way with each other?
    The files, which I hadn¹t touched for a month as I update on a monthly

  • Dng and CR2 files display as icons in CS5

    Now I have installed CS5 on three machines - a new installation on WIN7, and here everything is alright - no problem!
    Two machines running XP wth a previous CS4 installation uninstalled show up in Bridge with this problem:
    dng and CR2 files display as icons!!
    Everything is updated, ACR plugin placed as should be, and Camera RAW is working fine when OPENING the file. It is only a display problem, but this is serious enough - you cannot go through your downloaded pictures.
    I have tried to follow a solution close to the one given for CS4:
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/407/kb407945.html
    but I am out of luck.
    Is it an XP problem, or has it something to do with the previous installation of CS4?
    Any suggestions will be great! I have searced, read, tried, searched, tried.... some share this problem, but I haven't seen any soloution.
    Thanks, Jan

    Disclaimer:  The following applies to WINDOWS EXPLORER.  I don't use Bridge so I don't know if it's applicable at all to Bridge.
    Adobe does not provide a codec for viewing Canon raw files as thumbnails.  Canon has one for free but it only works on a 32 bit Windows system.
    Early this year I found a free download for displaying raw file thumbnails that works on an x64 Windows system.  Since that time the author realized there's a real demand for this software and has started charging for it.  In any case, I find it works very well.

  • Thumbnail Icons in list and Column View

    I am trying to find out how to change icons for media files (pics/movies) from generic file type icons to thumbnail previews of the file. I Know its possibel because one of my folders (photos/iphoto/origionals.....)shows up in the column and list view as thumbnails. NONE of my other folders do though. I have tried messing with the view options, and i know you can view thumbnails in the ICON view in finder but this is not what i want to do. I also know that in column view you can preview files in an extra column, also not what i want. So anyone know how to make all icons in all finder views into thumbnails?
    Thanks

    The "icons" you are seeing are QuickLook icons that show a preview of the content in the file. AFAIK, there is no way to disable it. However, you can go into Finder>Preferences>Advanced and enabled the Show all file extensions option to help distinguish between filetypes.

  • Drag and Drop Files Onto EXE Icon

    I was wondering if there is a way to have the user drag and drop files onto the .exe icon and this would initiate the program to do something with those files automatically?
    For example: Some PDF convertor programs allow you to drag and drop documents, images, etc. directly onto the PDF convertor icon on your desktop and it will automatically convert them all to PDF's, without the user even having to open the program.
    Can this same type of functionality be done with a Labview EXE file?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank you! That did it.
    The only side note that I would include to others that are trying this is to make sure you have the "Pass All Command Line Arguments to Application" box checked in the "Advanced" section when you build the executable.
