Larger thumbnails in Brushes, Symbols, etc.

The thumbs in the Brushes Panel and the Symbols Panel are still tiny.
How are we supposed to see what we're picking?
I wish we could make them larger as we can with Color Swatches.

If you click on the brush definition and then double click on the brush you will get a larger view. I know it's not what you want but at least you can see a larger preview.

Check-In of Brush, Symbol, Swatch Libraries from AI not working as expected

I am developing a custom connector for Adobe Drive. A large number of our users are Adobe Illustrator users. From within AI, the user can save a Brush, Symbol, or Swatch library as a file to one of our Adobe Drive shared folders. When this happens, the user sees the standard Check-In dialog prompting for the version comment. After entering the comment and pressing "OK", the file is saved locally to the Adobe Drive folder, but my connector's CheckInHandler.execute() method is never getting called. In other words, the user expectation is that the Swatch, Symbol, etc. library file has been checked into our system, but it never is. To actually check in the file I have to open the Adobe Drive folder in Windows Explorer and check-in the file from the right-click menu. This problem behavior only exists for the Library files. I can save/check-in new and updated versions of the main AI file into our Adobe Drive folders as expected (e.g., using the File -> Check In menu command).
So my questions are:
1) Is this behavior reproducible by others and/or is it a known issue? It's been reproduced consistently in-house.
2) What is the intended behavior for saving Brush/Symbol/Swatch library files to Adobe Drive folders from within Adobe Illustrator? It seems like it should either not prompt for a Version Comment, forcing the user to check-in from Explorer/Finder, or (ideally) would prompt for a comment and complete the check-in process like it does for the main AI file. To show the Version Comment dialog but not actually have the file get checked in is confusing to the user.
3) Any suggestions for solving or working around the issue?
Thanks in advance,
Brian

As a follow-up, I tested this scenario with the SDK's sample FTP connector and saw the same behavior: upon saving the Library file to the Adobe Drive folder from within AI, I am prompted for a Version Comment but the file is never checked in to the repository (i.e., the FTP server).

Larger thumbnails in onlinegallery?

Does anybody know how to create larger pictures in gallery templates of PSE 6?
Having tried several templates, but the thumbnails are too
small.
Examples here:
<http://www.marktkirche.de/template/index/webalbum/trauergeister07/index.html>
Thumbnails below
<http://www.marktkirche.de/template/index/webalbum/Neujahrskonzert_2008/index.html>
Thumbnails left side
When creating an online gallery I can do several settings as "title", background, color etc.
And I can "Optimize for broadband (large pictures), normal
(normal pictures)". (I don't know the exact english words of these
functions).
And that's it?
I want to customize like that:
Thumbnails width: 100/150/200 Pixel
and even: main pictures 480x320/800x600 etc.
I cannot find this feature.
Thank you in advance for any hints!
Ciao, Thomas

Hi Thomas,
I looked in PSE 5, which I think is similar to your version. You are stuck
with four choices of thumbnail sizes. If you use the "Left Filmstrip (Large
Thumbnails)", that would be the largest size.
If you want to increase the size of the main image, which should best be
done when using the filmstrip on the left, you will have to do that
manually.
When the Gallery is created, you have a folder, named with the gallery
title. You will find subfolders underneath. Go to a folder that is named
something like this:
C:\Documents and
Settings\Owner\Desktop\TestGallery(2)\resources\media\04filmstrip_vert_lt\large
It contains the actual images. You will have to create those images in a
separate procedure at a larger size, possibly by going though "Process
Multiple Files", and then replace the smaller images with the larger ones.
The larger images have to have the exact same names as the ones you are
replacing.
Ich kann einiges zur Not auch noch uebersetzen, ich kenne nur die Ausdruecke
(zB Namen fuer Dateien) in der deutschen PSE Version nicht unbedingt.
Let me know if you need further details.

Transferring saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 to CC on a PC using Windows 7

This is what I came up with...
Transfer saved workspaces, brushes, scripts, etc. from CS6 (Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop) to CC on a PC using Windows 7.
Go to start menu < computer < (OS) C: drive < documents and settings* < user (your user name) < application data** < adobe < adobe illustrator (or adobe photoshop)***
*To see the ‘documents and settings’ folder, I had to go to start menu < control panel < folder options – select view tab – uncheck hide protected operating system files (recommended). The computer will prompt you to go ahead, say ‘yes’ then hit apply.
** There is another folder above ‘application data’ named ‘appdata’, this is not the correct folder.
* & ** I could not access these folders no matter what user settings I selected or logged in as administrator. I did an internet search and found the following successful:
If the the folder denies you access to share… right click on the folder < select properties < select the ‘security’ tab < click the ‘edit’ button < select any and all users named ‘everyone’ < select ‘remove’
After I removed the ‘everyone’ users, I was able to successfully share the folder to my user and access.
*** I did not have an ‘adobe indesign’ folder, scrolling down the list it was labeled just as ‘indesign’. So was ‘bridge’, ‘dreamweaver’, etc.
INDESIGN: Below are my exact paths for my particular system:
< adobe < Indesign (inside this folder I have three folders: Version 7.0, Version 8.0 and Version 9.0 – which correlates? to CS5, CS6 and CC.) < Version 8.0 < en_US < Workspaces (inside this folder I have two files of each workspace – for example named: ‘xyz.xml’ and ‘xyz_CurrentWorkspace.xml’, I don’t why there are two similarly named files??, so I copied both and pasted both (and it worked.)
< copy the workspaces you want to bring into CC
>Go back, to the Indesign folder and then to < Version 9.0 < en_US < Workspaces and paste the workspaces.
I did the same for scripts: copied from the Version 8.0 folder to the Version 9.0 folder *Please note that, with updated versions, your scripts may not work…
< Version 8.0 < en_US < scripts < scripts panel (copy scripts.)
You can do the same for Greps, Glyphs, Find/Change, etc.
I copied entire folders over from the en_US folders: ‘Indesign Shortcut Sets’ and ‘Glyph sets’
PHOTOSHOP: Below are my exact paths for my particular system: * please note I also have a ‘photoshop’ folder in the ‘adobe’ folder, which did not have what I was looking for to carry over.
< adobe < adobe photoshop CS6 < adobe photoshop CS6 settings – copy all files < go back to adobe < adobe photoshop CC < adobe photoshop CC settings – paste all files

To turn off UAC, go to the Control Panel, then User Accounts.

Larger thumbnail folder in vault than in library--Why?

I have aperture 3.4.1 and recently realized that I had accidentally imported several movies and a few photos as masters. I relocated the masters so that the movies and photos are all now referenced, and not stored in the aperture library. This caused the size of my aperture library to go down considerably. However, when I updated my vault, it still is huge. My aperture library is now about 39gb but the vault is about 55gb. I made a new vault and it is about 35gb. Looking at the contents of the vaults, I see the big difference is in the Thumbnails. The size of the Thumbnails in the old vault is about 29gb, but it is only about 12gb in the new vault (which is about the size in the library). I've tried updating the old vault a couple of times, but it doesn't get smaller. Is there a reason aperture is keeping such a large thumbnail folder? And is there any way to get aperture to update the old vault so that it more accurately reflects the library, or do I need to simply delete it and start over?
As a side question, why does aperture store thumbnails and previews in vaults? Couldn't they be easily regenerated if I needed them? Is there a way to tell aperture not to store the previews and thumbnails when it is making vaults?
Thanks,
Ric

Contained in the Library but not in the Vault:
1024px thumbnail of every Version (this is what you see in the Browser pane and in books, web gallery and light table Albums),
Preview files at whatever size and compression settings you've set up.
It's quite normal for the Vault to be smaller than the Library.

Larger thumbnail view in list view

Will it one day soon be possible when in list view in the bin, with thumbnails on, to have a larger thumbnail view. I have a high rez Dell 30" monitor and even if I reduce the resolution to 1920 X 1080 the thumnails are minute.

Hi YKFILMS,
You can make the thumbnails a little bigger with the slider at the bottom of the Project panel.

Larger thumbnail views?

Can I resize the thumbnails that appear in regular view to a size larger than that allowed by pulling the widget at the lower-right corner of the screen to the farthest right? Would Pref Setter do this? I thought I was getting larger thumbnails when I moved the slider, but then I had to trash my iPhoto preferences and when the fresh prefs loaded, thumbnails would no longer show as large as I'd prefer. (Also, if there is a technique for this, will it work in the iPhoto 08 upgrade? I've ordered it, but it won't arrive for another week or so.)
Thanks for any help.

Can I resize the thumbnails that appear in regular view to a size larger than that allowed by pulling the widget at the lower-right corner of the screen to the farthest right?
No, this is limited by the window size. At farthest right you're not seeing the thumbnail any more but instead you're seeing the actual file.
If you want to see the file bigger, open it in the edit or viewing windows.

Large thumbnail previews in Finder?

Is there any way I can select LARGE thumbnail previews for images on my hard drives in the 'Finder' window? I.e. like in Windows Explorer; where you can actually see the image? I have 1000's of photos, & if I'm searching for a specific image I really need to be able to see the thumbnail clearly or it will take me hours to find the photo I'm looking for. At the moment they are tiny-weeny & I can't see anything at all of the image.Thanks.

I thought this had solved this problem, but unfortunately, this does not work when I'm trying to attach images to an e-mail. I open 'attachments' in Hotmail, & it brings up the Finder window, but of course the menu bar at the top is not the Finder menu - it's the Google Chrome/Firefox menu bar (or whatever browser I'm using). So there is no option to 'show status bar'. This is actually incredibly annoying, as when the thumbnails are tiny & I'm trying to selct from a large number of photos, it's very hard to see which ones I wanted to send. I end up having to write down all the image numbers first. This cannot surely be how a Mac is supposed to work in the 21st century?..!
I would be very grateful for any other ideas...

Extra Large Thumbnail Trick?

Hello,
Just curious - has anyone discovered a way to view your bins in PPCS4 with extra large thumbnails? When I choose Icon and thumbnail size=large, they are still quite small. I work with hundreds of clips, and generally dedicate one entire monitor to the bin - i would love a way to have "supersized" thumbnails in the bin - any ideas?
Thanks a million,
Jonathan

And, depending on your hardware and drivers, you should be able to assign a hot-key to change the resolution on the fly from your vidcard's console.
Good luck,
Hunt

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Can't open folders to show pictures as large thumbnails permanently.

Thanks for your reply.
I'm running Windows 7 on a PC, using Photoshop Elements 7
It used to be I could open a picture folder from Elements (File>Open) and instruct the files to show themselves as large or extra large icons (View>Large icons), I would then open one or more and edit them, go back to the original folder to open another and still see the files as large icons or whatever I'd chosen before.
I can no longer do that - as soon as I come back to the folder, all the files have reverted to List view. I then have to go back to the View options. On the other hand, if I open the same folders from Windows Explorer they all show as large icons, as I've chosen to view them, and they remain so for as often as I open the folder.
I bought a brand new copy of Elements 11 and installed on the same computer (after uninstalling El 7), believing that maybe my copy of Elements 7 was corrupt. But the same conditions obtained with El 11. I un-installed El 11 (didn't like it, too cluttered for me) and have re-installed 7.
I've picked up a couple of viruses along the way which I get rid of mostly by restoring the system to a previous state. I installed a trial version of Norton while El 7 was working properly and later uninstalled it, believing maybe it had something to do with the subsequent misbehavior of El 7.
I've noticed a couple of other quirks; after I click File>Open the window with my picture folders opens maximized, it used to be I could re-size it but not any more, even though the mouse pointer turns into double arrows along the edges and corners. Also, when I clicked on Save the pointer immediately defaulted to the Save box, but not so any more.
Any help would be appreciated.

Shortcuts on keyboard to unusual symbols & ¾ etc etc

Hi,
just a quick one, I know there´s a shortcut in the top of the screen via the country flag to special symbols etc, but I´m trying to set up specific keyboard commands to often used (weird) symbols.
For instance: ✈.
How could I get (for argument´s sake) Command + Z to do this please?
I´ve been to settings, keyboard etc etc, but it won´t let me select certain keys for symbols, only programs.
Anyone an idea to speed things up?
Cheers,

I have reinstalled ie 11 with no luck....turned off antivirus/firewall....even flashplayer help page "check now" in non responsive. No clouds or tree either at the bottom of the page: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html Facebook has no content. Now even clicking to login causes the browser to crash.

Virus and several sybot etc have been run. Everything works fine on Google chrome browser.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Facebook photos only use Flash Player when uploading multiple photos. Viewing photos (and thumbnails) is done with HTML and javascript. There's something else in play here, and it's most likely the User Agent Strings in Internet Exploder 11.
Microsoft "rewrote" the User-Agent Strings for the abomination they call their latest and greatest browser. User-Agent Strings are what websites use to identify the browser you're using and provide the proper content for it's browser engine, like ActiveX stuff, and Flash or HTML5 video. Thanks to the geniuses in Redmond, WA, the User-Agent Strings for IE11 (which has a Trident engine), ID it as either "Gecko" (Firefox) or "Webkit" (Chrome). Problem is: when the site the directs to the content for one of these two engines, the Trident engine in IE can't intepret it and the site then sees IE as an "unidentified" browser.
The problem with an unidentified browser is that the plug-ins in that browser aren't recognized either, so even though you're up to date, it says you need the latest Flash Player when you use IE11. YouTube... has converted to HTML5 video so if it doesn't detect Flash Player, it can display HTML5 (MP4) video which requires no plug-in to play. Facebook can't do that, because HTML5 doesn't apply to games... only video.
Microsoft has no plans to "fix" the mess thay've created because they think it's a great idea to block you out of the websites you visit.
They recommend using "Compatibility View" and pretending that you're using an older verison of IE... Problem with that is that it's seen limited success, and you have to enable it for EVERY page that has problems... individually.
I'm not big on "pretending" so I recommend actually using another browser.
Firefox (from Mozilla)
Opera (from Opera)
Safari (from Apple)
Chrome (from Google)
ANY of those will work where IE11 won't, with the Flash Player Plug-in (For all other browsers), and Chrome doesn't even need that because it has its own Flash Player plugin built in.

Best way to share a brush/symbol library

I've created a brush and symbol library for a team of people to use. I'm wondering what the best way to share this library is.
I'm not sure if the Document Profile is good, because then I would have to update the document profile and then copy it to each person's machine in order for them to always have the latest library, which doesn't seem like it will be easy to keep everyone updated with the latest file.
I was also thinking of using a template, but I think that will have the same problem. Additionally, I prefer not to have all the brushes and symbols embedded in every file so performance isn't impacted.
Preferably I would like to store the file on a server, and have it open by default when Illustrator is opened, so everyone always gets the latest version when they open Illustrator. Is there a way do this?
Thanks!

Hi Russ--
I'll have to read through Vimeo's terms of service, but I have to think they're asserting some right to the content like YouTube does.
Plus, these are commercial videos, and I don't think they allow that. Of course, if they're private, I'm obviously not trying to sell anything. But I have to think that it somehow is against their TOS since me posting a bunch of private videos that nobody can see really doesn't do them any good at all.

How can I set the CS5 to Intuos Pro Large for changing brush size and opacity and others?

How can I set together to my PS5 or Ps6 in order to change brush size and opacity at the Intuos Pro Large?

The MTU setting on the interface is the layer 3 packet size. In this case, the MTU is set to 1500, but the largest frame size transmitted on the interface (including layer 2 headers) is 1516. It sounds like you are experiencing another problem at the LES.
