Preview Image on Open Recent

I would love to have an icon or a small preview on the Open Recent files. I think it will be a great feature and should be easily added to the final version.

Why can't I see a preview image when opening files in InDesign?

I have "Always save preview images with documents" checked in File Handling, also with Save As. But I can only see the CS3 ID icon in my folders on the desktop, and when opening a file in InDesign. I'm running 10.4.11. Shouldn't I be able to see a preview image of the first page of an InDesign file?
Thanks!

i think those preview images means that indesign saves a lowres image of every placed image inside indd. So you can open your indd in some other computer and see all placed images even if you don´t have all the original linked hires images transferred with indd.
If you want to see your documents first page as document icon, use Bridge to browse your files. It recognizes a content of indd files and show first page as icon. .

Bridge CS6 Mavericks. "Preview" doesn't open images (they appear as white thumbnails),"Content" does

I recently reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled my programs, replacing Snow Leopard with Mavericks. I've downloaded the latest version of Camera RAW. In Bridge I now see my images as thumbnails without a problem. However thePreview view doesn't open; I just see blank thumbnails. Before everything worked fine. Any suggestions?
Many thanks.

Thanks for the quick response, Pierre-Etienne. Something very strange is happening, but first let me answer your questions. After I reinstalled PS CS6 on my MacBook Pro (whose HD I had just reformatted under Mavericks) two days ago, I got a message from the Adobe Notifier or whatever it's called, telling me that there were a number of updates available for my Adobe products. I downloaded and installed them; I think a Bridge was included. I got an error message concerning 3 updates, including Camera RAW, so I went and got them by hand. The most recent ACR version seemed to be 6.7, bundled with DNC converter 8.3, which I installed, and then this morning when I ran across the problem I wrote about I did a new download, this time of the latest stand-alone version of ACR. I believe it was also 6.7, but when I open a file now in Camera RAW it gives the ACR version as 8.3. A bit confusing. You ask, where? In France, where I live, but from the English language site.
Now here's the strange thing. I just came back from some very intensive work at an international conference, where over the course of 5 days I took almost 8000 pictures. I use the star sytem in Bridge to rate the pictures (in this case 0 to 3 stars). Within each star folder there are subfolders for the different days, and then sub-subfolders for the various events each day - all in all, quite a few folders. This morning I was looking at the pictures in a particular folder, and the phenomenon that I wrote about occured: no preview image. I just checked, and it turns out that that is the only folder out of over 200 so affected! All the other pictures open normally, in all star level folders, on all days, at all events. What an amazing coincidence!
So I guess I don't in fact have a major problem. I have a minor problem involving one particular folder. The only question remaining is why that particular folder, and could it happen again?
Thanks for your help.

In PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but PSD, DNG and CR2 files don't. Also, no thumbnail below the file list.

Working in PSE 13, when I open a folder, jpeg files have a preview image, but psd files just have white sheet of paper as preview. I have to open the file to be able to see it. Also, there is no thumbnail of the file below the file list.Surely, there's a setting that needs to be changed. I did not have this problem with Elements 12. This is a real bother because I have to use Lightroom to see all the file types. It seems as if Elements is using the standard Windows file loader that can't show previews of file types it doesn't know including .PSD, DNG and CR2. Is that a bug or did I do something wrong? Thanks for any help.

I am using Windows 7 64 bits. Working in the editor, I never use the organizer. The screen above is not the same at all that I got in Elements 12, it was completely different and showed me a thumbnail below the listing when I single clicked on one of the files. In Elements 12, I also could see a thumbnail of all the file types, not only the jpegs. It is as if the loader is the regular Windows used anywhere, not the right one for Elements. I hope someone understands my problem.. Thanks.

Preview can't open all images in multiple selections...is this a bug?

Note: "Open all files in one window" is selected in Preview preferences.
This used to work fine in Leopard. Not complaining, might be a bug, but just want to verify. When I select multiple jpg images and double click, preview tends to open random number of images each time. all of them simply don't open up. Any idea what could be wrong?

Are any of the jpegs downloaded from the Internet? If so, that is the problem. You'll get two Preview windows, one with, say 3 images, the second window with one. Do it again and you get one window with 4 images and the second window with a different additional one. Repeat. It's due to the Apple quarantine bit being set on downloaded files. Until it is removed by individually opening a jpeg you can't batch open all them. See here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2137399
You can open a batch provided you use the Preview Open dialog box, rather than selecting in the Finder.

Preview doesn't show 'open recent' items

When Preview is open, File-->Open Recent shows only 'clear recent'. Checking all different values for 'recent items' in System Preferences makes no difference in Preview. Some other apps work with 'Open Recent' (eg Pages) but not all (eg TextEdit behaves as Preview). Anybody see something similar, or know a fix? Thanks!

Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Preview.LSSharedFileList.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
Does the dialog show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section?
In the General section, is the box labeled Locked checked?
What is the Modified date?
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

Preview images in Finder (default opened by Preview) gone

Since a couple of days the preview of images default opened by Preview are gone.
Preview of files/images that are default opened by other programs are still there.
I tried one of the answers in the (unanswered) topics where it was suggested to delete the com.apple.finder.plist file, but this doesn't help.
I think this change has occurred after I installed the "Panorama maker 4" program that came with a Nikon Coolpix camera. This program can "stitch" together a number of panoramically made shots, so it is made to meddle with JPEG files. Also the installation procedure is very un-Apple-like and un-OS X-like.
Of course removing this program does not help.
Any suggestions on what might be wrong, or how to recreate the preview?

You should be able to restore Preview as being the default to open JPG files by opening Finder then choosing a folder with JPG files in it. Select one of them and right click (Option + Click) and select "Open With" then select "Other". Navigate to the Preview Application and select it (click once), then click on the "Always Open With" checkbox (lower left of the dialog box) then click on the Open button.

Preview images do not open in Photoshop

After upgrade to Mtn Lion I am no longer able to open images or Save As images in Preview. Current issue was my screen-saving a graphic. I can open it in Preview but cannot open it in PS. I am told the file cannot be read. I used to be able to Save As a tiff , jpeg etc in Preview then Open in PS but no longer. thank you

This is probably your problem:

In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?

In CS5, Win7...go to File, then Open...do you see .PSD thumbnails with preview images?
In all other versions of Photoshop, I can see a preview of the image, even .psd files, but with CS5 now, I just see the PSD icons...this again, is when you go to File, then Open... Anyone else see this? In Elements 9, I see the preview thumbnail icon, not generic, same with CS3 and Elements 7, but not with CS5?

Well, I was thinking if others tried on their Win7 system, they could let me know if they get the same result or different...so by comparison I could see if I had an issue with my software, such as if it were standard... However, I did figure it out... It's a 32-bit vs. 64-bit difference. Elements 9 is a 32-bit software, and so is CS5 32-bit of course....so both of those softwares show .psd thumbnails in the File, Open view...but the 64-bit does not...in Win7 64-bit...in case anyone else is wondering...

Preview won't open JPG image on a USB stick.

Preview won't open 'JPG' images downloaded from a USB stick. I get this message, "The image"IMG_0091.JPG" could not be opened" It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn't recognise.
I can see the thumbnail, but they won't open. Can I change this in some way? And, no, I can't download them again as I have erased them from the memory card, but they are saved in iphoto.

You can try deleting the .plist. Quit Preview first.

Preview will not open image.

Yes, I searched and found posts close to this subject; but would appreciate further help. Multiple photos on desktop. Open With and I want to select Preview which shows in the drop down menu as the default, also the one I want to use. Preview will not open. It was suggested in a prior forum that perhaps Preview had been shut off. How would I verify that?
Any suggestions are welcome. Judy [email protected]

It may not be that you have lost the app, but that something has corrupted it.
Have you repaired permissions? Sometimes that works. If you don't know how, go to Applications->Utilities->Disk Utility and open it. In the left pane, click on your hard drive's icon, the one with its name, not the numerical info. Make sure that the right larger pane is tabbed to 'First Aid.' Then under that pane, select 'Repair permissions.' Give it time. When it finishes and says that everything has been repaired, restart your computer and try opening up a photo again.
If that does not work, you can try these options:
1. Try to get a copy of the Preview app from another Mac that you can connect to yours as target disk and copy it.
2. Log on as a new account and see if Preview works under a new user account. Here is an explanation of troubleshooting an app that has quit.
3. Reinstall Preview. You should be able to do it from the Restore disks that came with your computer:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301408'>Look here and scroll to Reinstall some (but not all) bundled applications without erasing the Mac OS X volume
Hope you can have success with one of these!

Preview Won't Open for any image?

I am running OS X Version 10.0.3 and when I try to use preview, I get "The Application Preview Cannot Be Opened -1712." I've read other discussion of this but have been unable to apply the fixes. For example, holding option when I click finder does open the Go window, but a search for "library" returns nothing. I am not completely sure of this, but I believe it was working before my last softwear update.

Preview image does not match content image

I have been using Bridge CS3 on MAC OS X 10.4 for about 2 years and have happily used it as part of my image processing work flow for thousands of images. A Canon 1DS is my main camera. Some time ago I have started using a Canon G9 in addition to the 1DS. So far so good.
Recently and for no reason I can see, Bridge has started displaying an entirely different image in the preview panel than the image selected in the content panel. This only seems to happen when selecting RAW G9 images in the content panel; the image shown in the preview panel will be a processed PSD file originally taken on the 1DS, or a 1DS RAW image (of an entirely different subject and processed months earlier). Needless to say, the file name format of RAW G9 images and processed / RAW 1DS images is entirely different. What ever Bridge is using to marry content image selected with preview image displayed, its getting it wrong. I should add that that this doesn't always happen all of the time - but it does happen about 25% of the time.
When I open in ACR I get the correct image. Also Bridge meta data refers to the correct image. It is just preview that is incorrect.
I have compacted and refreshed the cache. This resolves the issue the first time I go back in and select images from the content panel, but if I reselect, I'm back where I started.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
(in preferences against "When Creating Thumbnails Generate:" I have "Convert To High Quality When Previewed". Also I have both "Use Software Rendering" and "Use High-quality Previews" checked. I'm using Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9)
Many thanks, Tom

I had this with my Canon30D files as well. Spurious previews. I met with Adobe in person and went over this. I then moved to Bridge 3.x and went over why I needed high quality images and the person I was working with took many copies of my images to work on the high quality previews.
I found when I went to one of the 3.x versions of Bridge, this was corrected and I got to use High Quality without the spurious previews.
I did not have to give up my High Quality. At least not in my case.
I will note that I was on the prerelease member site and so did get Bridge 3.x versions that may not have made it to the public, hard to know as I have since moved on to CS4.
I remember a time when I could not use the global purge command and had to throw away all cache folders but this is no longer the case.
I think Adobe did all they could to fix this issue and still feel that it was incredible that they met with me several times and did conference calls with 6-7 engineers in the room with me and how they really seemed to want to know what was up.
So I, for one, cannot say there will remain a black eye. Adobe was very supportive with me.
b One thing though, I could not use "software render" ever with any success.

Poor quality in preview - image is blurry

To date, I have not had any issues with the preview quality matching the actual image quality.
I have not made any hardware por software changes. Image files are in raw, jpg and tiff formats.
This issue appears to be only with raw files. The image in preview is extremely blurry, yet when the
file is opened it is tack sharp. I have checked all my preference settings and cannot figure out what is goin on.
I have tried purging and refreshing the cache and nothing seems to work.
I am running PS CS4
Windows Vist 64 Ultimate
Please help!
Update: I have changed raw preferences to apply to preview images only. The image qulaity only seems to improve when I
purge the cache for the slected images. I have the cache option for export to folder when possible checked. I have tried to purge the cache for
all images but the preview does not imprevoce unless I purge selected only.

This may be dumb but when it recently happened to me, I opened one image in adobe camera raw and increased the clarity by an inpercievable 1%. Then I hit done. Preview looked crisp again. I copied settings of that image. Then I highlighted all other blurry previews and pasted settings and they all became crisp again. Probabley just a quick fix that doesn't solve the problem but my knowledge is limited.

No Safari Bookmarks Preview Images

Hi,
some of my Safari Bookmarks in Cover Flow Modus don't show a preview image.
They just seem to get lost from time to time. And I always had this problem. With every OS and Safari, no matter which version.
How can I assure to always have preview images of my bookmarks or trigger that they'll come back?
Thanks,
Melros

Ok, interesting to hear. Thank you.
But it never felt like Safari would do it automatically. And beside, why should the cache be "full" by sometime? There's enough space on the drive.
But here's a solution I just found out for now:
After deleting the cache (and I guess it would also work for single sites without an recent preview image) I just opened the page again and let it fully load. Then the preview image is back again.
So I did it with all my folders now and it seems to work again. But sadly again not for all. There are still some with no preview images in between where even reoping the page doesn't help.
Quick tip for user who are trying this method: You can simply right click on a bookmark folder and open all bookmarks in tabs. So you won't have to open every single one.
Future solution idea for Apple:
I wish Apple would take care about it automatically. (if they already do we see that it doesn'r properly work yet). So that the images just won't get lost in the first place or at least offer a kind of "refresh all bookmark previews".
From now I'll keep an eye on when they get lost again and will get back on this post if I find out something new about it.
So thank you Carolyn for you help here! : )
