Preview file contents ?

I recently upgraded to 10.8.3.
My older finder allowed me to hit space bar to preview most files without opening them in their native app.
Did this feature go away in 10.8.3 ?

Basically, delete the /Library/Preferences/com.apple.symbolichotkeys.plist file, then restart your computer.

Icon images not previewing file content

I installed Leopard on MacBook Pro and on a G5 iMac. On the latter computer, the desktop file icons (iWorks document and others) display a preview of the document, but on the MacBook Pro, the icons display an image of the application. Minor issue, but I would like to understand why.

Some possible answers.
Firstly, you have checked that the desktop folder and any other relevant folders on the offending machine have their view options set to show icon preview?
Secondly, some files are given icons by applications that do not create a preview. In these cases the preview creation can be triggered by deleting the existing icon in the getinfo window. (That will not be the problem with iwork however).
Thirdly the previews are graphics intensive and, particularly if there are a lot of them, the system has to display at once it can struggle (or sometimes if files are tossed quickly onto the desktop I have experienced the finder needing to be prompted to redraw the desktop before the preview icons appear). It may be that your MacBook's graphics card is not handling Leopard's graphics as well as it might.

Icon (ie: Illustrator files) content no longer viewable in Finder.

Icon content no longer viewable in Finder. - Anyone have this issue with CS4 and Leopard?
For example: Illustrator file not viewable in finder in Leopard. Interestingly, I seem to remember that when scrolling through Illustrator files in the finder with Tiger, Panther, etc, if you have the preview window active, at least with .AI files, you'd get a preview of the graphics and not the default AI (or EPS) icon. Now I don't get any preview. Any suggestions?
I'm not sure if this is an Adobe or Apple issue, but I'm really finding too many quirks and conflicts between CS4 and Leopard that weren't issues in older versions of either companies previous software (say, CS3 or CS2 and Tiger).

...though it’s shameful that the old adage “if it ain’t broke (using the finder to preview file contents) wasn’t followed by Adobe and/or Apple. Thanks for this!
No kidding...
FOR THOSE WHO CAN’T FIND THE QUICK LOOK FOLDER **
It’s in your main computer system LIBRARY. You can’t search for it successfully, but I found it there.
You can also add a folder to your User Library called Quick Look (I named mine Quicklook and it worked as advertised.) I added it there just in case something went awry. You can have the same folders that is in the System Library in your User Library. I do this so I wouldn't mess with the System. If it works without a problem, and want it system-wide, I move the items from the User Library to the System Library.

HT5071 Please Help! how do I fix this error: "The title of the Table of Contents in portrait view is placeholder text : Book Title. Please redeliver your corrected full book file with a custom preview file. "

Urgent.
I have been not approved of this error
been back and forth with Apple
The title of the Table of Contents in portrait view is placeholder text : Book Title. Please redeliver your corrected full book file with a custom preview file. The book will not go live in the store without a matching custom preview file."
1st, how do you clarify the Table of Contents issue. No idea what I am doing wrong
2nd what is a customr preview file? I uploaded a sample book already.
Please advise ASAP
my email: [email protected]
thanks

I double check my table of content and I do not have a place holder... so I don't understand the error.

Re-Linking rendered preview files?

I had to move an entire project from one drive to another. All contents were moved in the same folder structure including the preview files. Now the rendered preview files dont link up to the project. How can I re-link thses files?
Thanks
Ben

Thanks Jim, but Premiere did not ask for the file location when it started up.
Harm, so you are saying I need to re-render everything?. Seems like Adobe would have a way to make this work.
Anyone from Adobe have a comment on this?
Thanks

Should I delete preview files to save space on my hard drive?

Should I delete preview files to save sapce on my hard drive? At times the program crashes and I wonder whether I should get rid of these files to make more space.

PCNoviceMesa
Yes.
If you run a SD project (whether you render stills or videos) and render, you are going to get DV AVI files automatically generated. If it is a HD project, rendering deposits MPEG2.mpg files on your hard drive (whether you render stills or videos). We are talking possibly GB amounts of files if you let them pile up long enough. For Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit, these preview files are by default in Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/12.0 and in the Adobe Premiere Elements Preview Files Folder there.
First let us see how much is piled up there before we take action against them.
If the preview files there are part of an existing project or projects, the consequence of deleting those files is that you will have to render again that content in the project to get the best possible preview. If the preview files represent project long since gone, good riddance.
Please check out the situation. And, then we can discuss also pile ups of conformed video and conformed audio files.
More later.

In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? The file "properties" tab is no longer available.

I typically have several open Preview files at any one time and often forget where, sometimes if, I saved them. In Mountain Lion, how do I find the location of an open Preview File? Tried holding option + command in spotlight but I don't see a path name appear anywhere.

Yes, cmd-option on a file you choose in Spotlight and the path will appear at the bottom of the Preview window.
EDIT: Also, if it is bookmarked the path is in Bookmarks.

FIle Content Conversion Problem in IDOC-XI-File Scenario

Dear All,
I am doing IDOC-XI-FILE scenario.
I am facing one problem related to File Content Coversion.My requirement was to generate a dynamic file like %store_code%_%current_date%_sitemaster.xml , I have completed the dynamic generation successfully .
Now there is slight change in the requirement ,we have to suppress the current_date node of the xml content . i have tried to suppress the current_date using these DATE.fieldFixedLengths 0 , Date.fixedLengthTooShortHandling Cut , But I am unable to suppress it Can some body provide me the details on this .
The output xml version generated by Reciever file adapter is as below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
Plz provide me the code I have to write in the file content conversion .
Thanks in advance
Regards
Prabhat

If u see my earlier reply, I mentioned that u can not suppress the field from the one node.i.e Form SITE_DATA data type u can not suppress the field called CURRENT_DATE.
My suggestion is that , modify the Data type in such a way that you will be having two nodes as I have mentioned earlier. Then use the Suppress Logic for the Current Date.
So it will look like this-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER xmlns:ns0="http://sample-xitest.com/sitemaster">
- <SITE_DATA>
<STORE_CODE>N002</STORE_CODE>
<TITLE_MEDI>Company</TITLE_MEDI>
<STORE_NAME>Mount Road</STORE_NAME>
<STREET>Chennai</STREET>
<COUNTRY>IN</COUNTRY>
<SALES_TAX_NO>12345678910</SALES_TAX_NO>
</SITE_DATA>
<CURR_DATE>
<CURRENT_DATE>20051105</CURRENT_DATE>
</CURR_DATE>
</ns0:MT_SITE_MASTER>
So ur SITE_DATA is not having a field called CURRENT_DATE. This field is in separate node (segment ) called CURR_DATE. Now u can use the Suppress Logic for the same like this.
CURR_DATE.fieldFixedLengths - 0
CURR_DATE.fixedLengthTooShortHanling - Cut
And in your Variable Substitution you can use the date from the other segment called CURR_DATE.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Moorthy

Raw Files turn into 175kb preview files.

I have download my RAW files from my Canon 1DS into Photoshop CS2 using a Lexar card reader.
They download as a full RAW file but when I go to open them in bridge the turn into a 175 kb preview file! The strange thing is I download 5 gbs from 5 different cards but not all of them did it. I found that if I download the images several times they would eventually download as full RAW files. I am using a G5 MAC with loads of memory and processing capacity. Is it the problem that the cards are corrupting, the card reader is faulty, CS2 is somehow corrupt (it is a fully registered copy) or that bridge has some weird glich in it. This problem has only just started as I have been this software for some months now.
Cheers Brent.

Leopard? You aren't doing a command/copy (move) are you? There have been reports that "moves" in Leopard is broken...
Otherwise, try another card reader or cable. This isn't something Bridge would be doing to your files...

There is no root node, so in your FCC you need to mention your RecordsetName and you can ignoreRecordSetName in result structure. Check the following blog simulates your requirement.

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next

I have the latest downloadable version of LR5. It crashed while it was createing 1:1 previews during an import. After a Win7(64) restart, it shows a message that LR needs to quit because it can't read the preview files and it will try to fix it the next time is launches. I get the same message the next and every subsequent time it launches so I can't launch LR at all now.
I get that the preview file got corrupted somehow. Is there some way to fix this problem without building a new catalog?

Use Windows Explorer to open the folder containing your catalog. You will see a folder with the extension .lrdata. You need to delete that folder and then start Lightroom again. Lightroom will generate a new previews folder.

How to display file contents on a web page

On unix platform I have created a class that can read the contents of a file and display them to the standard output. But now i want to display these file contents on a web page through jsp. On JSP code I have imported this class and want to assign a record from a file and write it to the screen using html. I think the class needs to be modified in order to return the string record read from a file so that im able to access it from a jsp and assign it to a variable the I can display it on the screen. Can someone help me with these code?

Actually, you mean Linksys. BIG difference there.
Linksys Business Series was accumulated into Cisco Small Business, since it was purpose built for small business, not residential/consumer grade.
The new PVC2300 actually are Cisco branded on the case.
The collateral you seek is protected by the business unit that supplies it, since it was placed on a portal that only Cisco registered partners can access.
As I wrote, I already checked with the BU and they told me thats where it lives and not to hand it out. I cannot override that.
I am not sure there are any secrets in there, but I dont make the rules, sorry.
Do you want to be a Cisco Partner? Sign up and gain access to everything you need to sell Cisco successfully to end customers? If you tell me your geography (city/state/zip, I will have an ICAM call you and help recruit you.....
