No thumbnail images - only icons instead

Bridge does not cache images from my m2t- and mpg-files, only from avi. Consequently there are no thumbnail images in the 'CONTENT' window, but only MS Media Player icons (I'm not sure whether this is the correct name for the window, in German it is 'INHALT'). Note: The 'PREVIEW' is working well.
I just have installed a codec-package containing all types I use, especially m2t.
Any help is appreciated.

Hello Ann,
I've got a question on the display of thumbnails issue. I only have Bridge CS2, so it's probably not even close to up to being as powerful as later versions. Mention was made of the File Associations in Preferences, and these only affecting the associated program to open into. In searching, I noticed that Bridge CS2 does not have many of the AV file types listed. There is no WMV, MPEG (also none of the more current versions of MPEG), and even AVI is missing. The only thumbnail that I got was from an .ASX file. Now, this is Bridge from the CS2 Production Studio, installed with PrPro, AE, etc.
As I usually use another cataloging program, ThumbsPlus for AV Assets, and Bridge just for my RAW, TIFF, PSD and JPEG images, I had not really noticed this, until I was invited to join in on this thread. Do those "missing" file types show up on Bridge CS3 - CS4? I would just assume that they were added post-CS2.
Now, as you know, there are all sorts of general reasons for thumbnails not appearing in cataloging programs. I have found that MPEG-1's seldom display. MPEG-2's more often do. AVI's (unless they are encoded with the DivX/Xvid CODEC) usually do show. MOV and WMV seem to be a crap-shoot, with MOV's seldom displaying thumbnails. I'd wager that most of this is due to an incompatibility between the encoding CODEC and the various programs, and how they handle the CODEC's, even when installed on a system.
Sorry to only have questions, and no suggestions, but I hope to learn something about Bridge along the way.
Thanks,
Hunt
[Edit] The above references just the Thumbnails. With Preview, I do get the first frame, along with any muxed audio. I do not have any of the recent HD MPEG's to test with. Even without those file associations, Preview works fine. Now, I have to go find some MPEG-1's and test a few of those.

No thumbnail images in icons with Preview since reinstall of Tiger

Since a HDD crash and reinstall of Tiger at Apple Store with updates to 10.4.11, Preview.app is now NOT making image thumbnails but only shows an icon with the Preview logo and file type, ie. JPEG, PNG.
Also in Folders most images, but not all, are not showing up as they used to with miniature images.
This makes it very hard to tell what the image is merely with a number for the filename.
I tried deleting the plist but that didn't help. Anyone have any suggestions how to get real thumbnails back?

Hi BDAqua,
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried it several times to no avail and noticed that an older version of Preview which had been archived on an external drive was 13.2 MB on disk while the one which the Apple Store put onto the new hard drive was only 3 MB, even though they are both v3.0.9 (build 409) I've tried both and there doesn't appear to be any difference in functionality.
Still no thumbnails except on a few .jpgs. They do work from iPhoto if they are normal .jpg pictures if I drag the pic to the desktop from the iPhoto Library, but not panoramas which have been stitched, photos which have been cropped, modified or .gif or .tiff.
Guess we'll just have to keep looking for the answer to why they won't show up all the time.
Thanks anyway.
If anyone else has any ideas about this Preview weirdness, please join in...

In photoshop cc my saved files don't appear as thumbnails with the image, only with the generic tiff or jpeg icon

how do i get actual thumbnail images in photoshop cc instead of generic tiff or jpeg icons??

And what exactly? If you mean system thumbnails, then this has nothing to do with PS. You messed up your file associations then by installing a tool that usurped those associations and they no longer default to the Windows preview function.

Changing "Icon size" causes .ARW thumbnail image in folder to disappear and icon to appear

Is this a bug everyone is getting?
Have .ARW files in a folder and it shows thumbnail images of the .ARW files, but if I increase or decrease the slider to different sizes (to view better), a icon will appear instead of the . ARW preview image. Out of all the sizes on the slider only 2 or 3 sizes will show the .ARW thumbnail image.
Any ideas? known issue?
thanks

The method I use is to open the jpeg file Command+A (select all) then Command+c (copy) close the jpeg preview window. Select the small icon on the top left corner of the get info window for the perspective folder. Command+v (paste) puts the copied image in and it then becomes the icon. If you want to use the drag and drop method you will need to convert the image file to an icon which can be done with automator. The icon however is less clear when you do that.

The first thing I did was UPDATE. I have all the latest updates available (according to the updater). The Camera Raw Plug-in says it is version 8.0.
The RAW files are from a Canon T3i. It's a very common camera, I can't believe it wouldn't be supported.

Some Thumbnail images not showing up in folders? just a icon

Just bought a Brand new Mac with i7 processor. It did not come with Lion installed though. So before doing anything I upgraded to the free Lion update. So here is the issue.
For some reason i cant view preview thumbnail images of some .ARW and .jpg files in some folders, while others I can. I made sure all the "view options" were set and everything. Also moved files to new folders. So here is what I did.
1. Reformated and Reinstalled Snow Leopard and put my .ARW files and the preview thumbnails show up in all folders with no issues. Then I updated to Lion again and now some show and some don't. The funny thing is that now files that did not show thumbnails the first time now does, and some that shown thumbnails now don't. Its different each time I install Lion OS
2. I removed the hidden .DS_Store files in these folders just to make sure those where not effecting it as well, but it did not do anything after a new one appeared.
Whats up with Lion? known bug? I did a search and did not hear about this issue yet? Am I the first lucky one?

I am having similar problems with viewing jpgs in preview / finder in 10.7... but only those that were create by either lightroom or photoshop ( LR 3 / PS CS4) after installing Lion... they preview fine in bridge and every other app.... Just not in Finder etc....
Very annoying!
If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

The RAW setting in Bridge is not working. When I open Bridge I can see only icons, no images. The RAW tool icon is grey, not active. I am going on a trip Tomorrow and I need Bridge to be working. It was working earlier.

I never notied that icon before, and I've been using Bridge for 7 years.
Usually, when you have no image previews for raw files, this means that your Camera Raw plug-in is older than your camera. People always come across this problem when they use a new camera with older software.
To be sure, we need to know which camera you are using, and which version of Camera Raw. To save typing this out for the three-thousandth time, please follow this page which I wrote earlier:
http://yphotography.co.uk/articles/get-adobe-camera-raw-acr-open-photos/
This covers the subject, which is by far the most commonly asked question about opening raw files by a country mile.
If everything checks out fine, let us know. If not, give us more information and we may be able to fix this for you.
PS. Please just open one discussion per problem. There are three threads on this now. It makes it difficult to follow.

Adobe Reader PDF Desktop Icons No Longer Thumbnail Images

Hi...
I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x 64 - and thanks to a fix for this I found somewhere a while ago, it's been working fine for the longest time. In the past week, I see that my Adobe Reader desktop icons are no longer thumbnail images - they are back to the old standard Reader icons. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Adobe Reader - unapplying / reapplying this x64 thumbnails fix - and combinations of the two. Nothing has worked thus far.
Does anyone have a suggestion / fix / etc. on how I can get my PDF icons back to the thumbnail images - NOT the standard gray .PDF reader icons?
Thanks so much!
Andy

Automatically generate thumbnail image icons for all pix and vids...

hello,
i've searched around on the forums a bit about making the icons of my pics and vids actual thumbnail images made from the picture or the first frame of the video.
a lot of responses are mistaking this question for "how do i put the window into icon view?" this infact is not the answer that i suspect a lot of windows converts are looking for.
windows automatically makes such icons for all pix and vids if you put the window into icon view.
i notice in at cmd-j or in the window preferences there is a checkbox for "show image preview" or something like that, but despite this being checked, my pix and vids do not show an image preview. i'm gathering that this information does not exist in the resource fork which mac uses to organize photos.
is there any script or addition i can make to my system to automatically generate icons for pics and vids of all types? how to i suggest to mac that they add this functionality into the next release?
thanks for your time,
max

The Finder will create icons "on the fly" for nearly all graphic type files (jpegs, tiff, psd, and so on) and display them in both icon view and column view, provided the appropriate view preference has been set. Movies will just have the generic movie icon in icon view, and have a "live" preview in column view, ie you can play them in preview mode. If you want to add a permanent thumbnail which will display in all views, and whether or not the preference has been set for a particular folder in Finder, you'll need to add a thumbnail to the file. There are lots of ways to do this for static pictures, even rather clumsy ways to do it for movies, but the easiest thing is to get CocoThumbX:
http://www.stalkingwolf.net/software/cocothumbx/
Drag and drop both static pictures and movie files onto the application and a permanent thumbnail is created. Indeed, it will create cool thumbs even for things like PDF and HTML files (code or rendered display). For movies to get a thumb, they must be in a format that QuickTime can read. It has a set of preferences for just how you want the thumb determined (eg random or at a certain time), and you can drop batches of movies or even folders to have it assign thumbs to multiple movies at the same time. It is a way cool piece of shareware.

I have just downloaded camera Raw 8.8 to my computer that runs Photoshop CS6 for my Canon 7D Mark II. CR2 files appear as Icons instead of thumbnails. Does anyone know a fix

Is there a way for CR2 files that are downloaded to Bridge running CS6 to appear as thumbnails rather than Icons in Bridge

You don't download anything "into Bridge". Bridge is a just a File Browser, you put your image files wherever you want and you point Bridge to whatever folder you put your raw CR2s in.

I-movie thumbnail images won't display only a gray box is present

I was working with my i-movie when every thumbnail image in both panes became gray as opposed to having images from the clip. The movies still play fine, but it is impossible to do any editing when you can't see what is in each frame. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You have changed the image URL in the 'image' tag but you have not changed it in the 'itunes:image' tag, and that is what is applicable here.
iTunes is looking for an image at
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89406141/MilanVineyardChurch.png
and not finding one there. When you have amended the tag with the new URL it will probably take some days before the image appears in the Store.
The new image is apparently at http://dl.dropbox.com/u/89406141/Podcast/MilanVineyardChurch_144.png - this is 144x144 which is inadvisably small for iTunes.
Although your episodes, which have Feedproxy URLs, are appearing OK, iTunes does not get on at all well with Dropbox and you might be advised to consider hosting your image on an ordinary web server. However, it's possible that it will work once you've amended things.

Shadows around icons/thumbnail images

I notice that iTunes U forces a small shadow around all the 60x60 thumbnail images.
Is there a way to turn that off, somehow? If not, can I put in a feature request to have an option to remove those shadows?
I don't like the way they look, and would like to remove them if possible.
Thanks any help.

I'm not sure that shadows can be turned off ... they seem to be a feature of the iTunes Store generally speaking. Still, you can't win if you don't play ... 'er ask Apple if it's possible.

Bad choice. Only one person involved in that thread knew what they were doing...and you copied from the wrong one.
Here is my procedure:Lose it. Custom download procedures are overcomplicated and now almost never required.
See the recommendation to use declarative BLOB support, as shown in the Thumbnail image problems.
