Preview not saving multiple files

I sometimes have to crop a bunch of pics.Normally I do this in preview & just click 'save all' but recently this has not been working.It starts to save the first couple but then the progress bar just accelerates while making a blipping sound & the pics are left the same as before the cropping.
Grateful for any help

Hello,
I'm not proficient in AppleScript, but you might find a script that can enable you to save multiple files when editing. http://www.apple.com/applescript/learn.html
AppleScript is in your Applications folder.
Here's a link to the AppleScript Forum: http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=724

  • I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion.Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked on all open. why?

    I have a brand new macbook pro 15" with latest Lion. Can anyone tell me why, when I open word or preview etc that multiple files open?For eg if I open a word doc, the last 1-3 docs that I have worked previously on all open. Can anyone tell me why?

    You have a choice as to whether or not applications in Lion like Word or Preview (or even Safari) save and re-open previous documents or windows... just hold down the option key while quitting a program and when you re-open it you won't get the previous documents or windows when you re-open the application. You can see this by selecting the open program in the menu bar and when holding down the option key the quit function will change to quit and discard open windows. This feature in Lion is referred to as "Resume" and is great if you want to restart an app and return to what you're doing (for example in Safari re-opening existing windows and tabs from your previous session). You still have the option to close individual windows within an app before quitting and they will not re-open when the app is launched again.
    This Resume function is not related to saving your work (a word or text document for example). This is handled by Lion's "Auto-Save" and "Versions" functions. See http://www.apple.com/ca/macosx/whats-new/auto-save.html
    Hopefully this is the complete answer you're looking for.

  • Aria2 does not download multiple files at a time

    I'm trying to speed up my system upgrades by using aria2, but it won't speed up anything as it does not download multiple files at a time.
    As per this wiki post, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Im … erformance , "using aria2", I've installed aria2 and added the line
    XferCommand = /usr/bin/aria2c --allow-overwrite=true -c --file-allocation=none --log-level=error \
    -m2 --max-connection-per-server=2 --max-file-not-found=5 --min-split-size=5M --no-conf \
    --remote-time=true --summary-interval=60 -t5 -d / -o %o %u
    to the options section in pacman.conf. Pacman still works, but it isn't sped up. When pacman -Syu'ing, a normal line shows:
    #1 SIZE:1.3MiB/2.0MiB(63%) CN:1 SPD:50.0KiBs ETA:15s
    What's going on?
    P.S. I use the line reflector -l 5 --sort rate --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist before doing a system upgrade.

    Using aria2c will download files over 5MB with multiple connections but will not download multiple files at the same time. Pacman calls aria2c with the first url, waits for it to finish, then calls aria2c with the second etc...
    If you want to download multiple packages simultaneously, see http://xyne.archlinux.ca/projects/pacman2aria2/

  • Why can I not attach multiple files on iPad ???

    Why does iPad not allow multiple files to be attached. This is one of the very basic feature all computers must have...why is apple trying to complicate the like of people without this simple feature ???????
    Please add this feature in your iOS updates...this is jut crazy !!!!!!

    We are just other users here. Apple does not read these posts for your suggestions or complaints. Suggest it here.
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html
    BTW - the iPad is not a computer and was not designed - at least to this point - to totally take the place of a computer. There are other email apps available as well that may suit your needs - MailShot or Group Email with attachments. Check those out - see if they allow for multiple file attachments.

  • PSE not saving edited files to the organiser

    For no apparent reason my PSE 11 application seems to have developed an annoying glitch whereby part way through an editing process it stops doing as requested in the "Save" options, by not saving edited files as version sets of the original file in the Organiser. The files are saved OK to My Pictures and I then get advised that a file is available to import and I have to import each one, stack it with the original, and put the edited file on top. This is driving me nuts as I have about 1000 photos to edit. What is causing this problem? My only thoughts are that I have c.30000 picture files in the Organiser (but this hasn't caused any problems in adding new files)  and that the problem seems to have arisen since I started editing files directly from within an Album.
    Help

    It's the first time I see that bug mentionned in PSE11, but it's an acknowledged bug in PSE12.

  • Preview not saving when converting multiple .eps files to .pdf

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro with snow leopard. I open a group of .eps image files using preview into the same window. I then shut the window with "cmd w". It says do you want to save all. I click save all. But then no saves are made.
    If i open the group of .eps files using preview into separate windows and click "cmd w", then click save, it tries to save as untitled.pdf as opposed to "filename".pdf.
    I previously used preview on a powerbook to convert .eps images to .pdf. In that version of preview the files would open in their own window. When i hit "cmd w" and save it would use save file as "filename".pdf.
    Why does the newer version of preview not at least do this? Preferably the new version of preview would save all the .eps files as a batch as stated in my first sentence.
    Does anyone have any ideas what i can do?

    Possibly similar problem:
    When I open a JPEG in Preview, adjust the quality, and try to Save As, it simply saves as the original, not the new reduced-quality file. This is true even if I save it in a new location.
    - open a 200kb JPEG
    - try to Save As with quality reduced to only 50kb
    - it saves as the original 200kb file

  • Combining pdf files in Preview not saved

    I'm trying to combine screenshots into one pdf file.  I clicked on the side bar button and dragged the files I wanted into the side bar and then saved this as a pdf file.  It showed it as saving all the pages but when I closed it and reopened it, it had only one file.  (It was now opened in Adobe Reader).  Why is it not saving it as a combined file?
    Thanks,
    Kathy

  • Preview is saving all files viewed while online

    I am having several problems with Preview because it saves every single file I view while online, and while conducting research, this ends up being literally hundred of .pdfs some days. How do I turn off this automatic save function? Is it just a glitch in the system or is their a setting somewhere that can be adjusted? It is also saving the files in a folder which it should not be saving them in, but I cannot figure out to change the default folder for this automatic saving that should not be taking place. I have tried changing my default folder in Preferences for both Firefox and Safari, but it does not seem to have any effect on this automatic saving.
    If I can't get this to stop, then I need to make Adobe Acrobat my default viewer. I have tried going into the Preferences of Firefox and Safari, but I still keep getting Preview popping up when I try to view .pdfs.
    I am using Firefox verison 2.0.0.14 and Safari 3.1.1
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    You don't want to view them in Preview or Acrobat either one, that requires downloading them, but...
    http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20030325010528818
    Of course you can configure Acrobat 7/8 to view them online if you wish...

  • Preview not opening pdf files unless they have an pdf extension

    Preview will not open pdf that does not have a pdf extension. If I give a valid pdf file a random extension like .xxx, preview opens without windows. If I give it .jpg it opens with a questionmark in a window. If I give it pdf it open without a glitch.
    Why cannot Preview detect whether a file is open-able or not an not give a **** about extension. This is not windows but a unix system
    The problem exist when a pdf file is downloaded by firefox and not given a .pdf extention in the downloads folder. In Safari the file is opened without problems inside Safari.

    Yeah, but Preview wont open the file at all, even through the open dialog, all files not associated with preview are greyed out. Shouldn't a program open a file if told to?
    Yes, I agree with you. I also could not open the files unless I changed their extensions.
    Also the "file" command has no problem finding out it's a pdf. I believe its an obsolete thing specifying filetype on extension, and not on content. Is is possible to get preview to open the file depending on content and not on extention.
    Like I said, I think this was a conscious choice that Apple made with OS X, but I'm not sure why the decided to go that way (maybe posting on one of the dev lists would give you the answer to that).
    I haven't been able to get Preview to open files once I've changed the file extension...

  • AE CC 2014 Export to C4D not saving any file

    I just got into CC (was using CS6) and today I wanted to export a C4D file from AE, like I have done always with AE CS6, but there seems to be a problem. I click on export, Maxon Cinema 4D Exporter, then select the folder and type the file name, click save and it closes like normal, but the file I supposedly saved, is not created anywhere. Anyone has the same issue?

    Apparently the problem is with the folder I was saving the file. I saved it to another hard drive and it saves the file just fine. Is there a limitation for a folder structure?
    Another issue is that the scene only includes the camera and not the solids or text layers. If I export from AE CS6 it includes all that.

  • Saving Multiple files in RTF

    Does anyone know how to save multiple files in a book as RTF, other than saving each one individually? I have tried saving as a pdf and converting it but the formatting is never correct.
    I am using FM 9 on Windows 7.
    Thanks in anticipation.

    Sheila,
    I did see that product recommended in another posting but wasn't sure if you could use it for multiple files or, as for FM, as a one at a time tool. I will download a demo and give it a go.
    Thanks.

  • File Select Popup not restricing multiple file types

    I have a Bitmap picture in which I call GetBitmapFromFile right after this popupfile select.  So I want the user to pick one of the folowing filetypes seen below.
    I have the following call
    FileSelectPopup ("", "*.*", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension Not Required
    But when this is ran, it prompts the user showing all file types and all file types are allowed.
    Doing the following:
    FileSelectPopup ("", 
    "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf",
    "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "Select
    picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 0, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //Extension not required
    The prompt shows only those file-types, but the default stays on .emf and the user must select the correct file-type at the bottom they are trying to select.
    If I do the following (with commas and restrict file-extension):
    FileSelectPopup ("", "*.tif;*.pcx;*.bmp;*.dib;*.rle;*.ico;*.jpg;*.png;*.wmf;*.emf", "*.tif,*.pcx,*.bmp,*.dib,*.rle,*.ico,*.jpg,*.png,*.wmf,*.emf", "Select picture file", VAL_LOAD_BUTTON, 0, 1, 1, 0,pic_file_name); //using commas
    It shows the correct files, but when clicking one, it says the file-type must be .emf
    The only workign way I found was to do the last statement, but not restrict the file-extension.  (This would give the user the option to change the file-type)
    What I want is the file-type allowed list to be one of those file-types, only show files with those extensions and not require/allow the user to select which file-type they will choose.
    Can this not be done?

    I see no way of customizing FileSelectPopup the way you want: either you restrict extensions, and you are limited to "Default file spec" contents (in case you put a filetype list in this field, the last one is used, as you already noted) or you allow to change extensions, but the user must choose which one to use an "*.*" is always present.
    I am afraid you will need to post-process operator's choice and prompt again in case of non-allowed extension.
    As an alternative you can use the toolbox path control, which can be tailored the way you want but it isn't as easy for the operator as FileSelectPopup. It iìultimately is a string control with customized features to offer an alternative in selecting files / paths. You can tailor it by doing so:
        SetCtrlVal (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, "c:\\myDefaultPath");
        errChk (NewPathCtrl (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, 15, 1));
        SetPathCtrlAttribute (panelHandle, PANEL_STRING, ATTR_PATH_CTRL_FILE_FILTER, "*.bmp;*.ico");
    This control permits you a limited filetype choice but forces the user to more impactive operability to select the desired file.
    There is a sample project that  uses this control in <sampledir>\userint\custctrl\pathctrl.
    Another alternative is the File Browser toolslib control: a customized tree control which can be restricted to multiple file types; it is relatively slow on large file systems -at least at the first execution.
    The control maintains the native context menu of the original tree control: I suppose this can be tailored as in native control but I haven't tested it: if it's possibleit may help the user in finding the correct file to select.
    Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

  • SQL Profiler running trace - where do the rows go if not saved to file

    When SQL Profiler trace is running, there are thousands of rows generated and shown in the trace window. Since I am only looking for deadlocks, I am not saving them. Are they just discarded, else where do all those rows go? I really don't want to fill
    up the log file.

    From your description, it seems you are running Profiler while saving events to a file.  All of the displayed events are also written to the file.  If you don't need events other than deadlocks, you should not include those in the trace to begin
    with.
    Be aware that a Profiler trace can significantly degrade server performance when many events are captured.  If you must capture a large number of events (or run a trace continuously), I suggest a server-side trace (or Extended Events file target)
    instead.  This will allow SQL Server to stream data directly to the trace file without the Profiler tool overhead.  You can script the Profiler trace for server-side tracing from the Profiler File-->Export menu.  Save and customize the
    script (file name, max file size, etc.).  You can view the trace file(s) using Profiler or fn_trace_gettable.
