Preview not working for .jfx files anymore

Hi, I used to be able to look at jfx (efax) files using preview on my mac. Now I click open, preview starts but does nothing. I can still open images and pdf's.
This is for more than 1 file, all jfx files I get cannot be opened (even ones I could earlier read). If I click on the file and right click get info, its associated with preview, and the preview pane of it shows the actual fax. It just will not open in preview.
If I rename the file to .tif then it works fine.
Is there an error log file for preview or any other way to debug this?
thanks Joel

I tested this on another 10.5.8 computer and same problem, more I thinking its a problem with Preview and not my computer...

Icon preview not working for occaisonal file

Hi y'all.
I'm using Illustrator CS4 and there is a particular file that I cannot seem to save with an icon preview.
And yes, I've selected pdf compatibility, with no success.
Could it be that I'm resaving an old file that was originally created in Illustrator 10? Could it be related to the use of many patterns?
Any other suggestions?
B.

Hello to both of you. Sorry for the delay in response!
Yes, I've tried doing a "save as" - even to different places on my hard drive.
And yes to the other suggestion: my folder prefs do say show icon preview.
Any other thoughts? Could it have something to do with the patterns I've used? Patterns can do weird things, I hear....

Thumbnail preview not working for NEF files

Just bought a Nikon D750. Very disappointed that its NEF files don't show as thumbnails in Finder. I just get a generic thumb with NEF written in it. Nikon have a codec for Windows that cures this problem, but they haven't bothered to provide one for Mac OSX. Does anyone know of a fix please?

Lightroom does not support the Nikon D750 RAW photos at this time.
Please read this thread:
Support for Nikon D750
Just released (see the message 49 of that thread) is a DNG converter that should allow you to convert the NEF to DNG and import those into Lightroom.

Preview not available for this file on import

I just transferred all my stuff from a vista computer to a new Windows 7. Lightroom 3.3 is now running as a 64 bit. I am importing tiff scans which were done on the Vista computer. At first everything was going fine, but now when I select files for import, all I can see are greyed out boxes which say "preview not available for this file". If I import the file, all is well, but I would like to see them in preview as well. Also, the program has crashed twice in the middle of an import.
Thanks for any help!

Yes, the larger preview is viewable. I'm using Vuescan to scan the files. Nothing has changed with the scanning from the previous scans which worked fine...same settings, same computer (not the new one).

"Preview not available for this file" error message.

I'm using LR 4.4 but it hasn't worked correctly since I got my new camera (Canon 70D). When trying to import I keep getting the "Preview not available for this file" error message. I had some better luck connecting the camera with a usb cable, that let me see the jpg images, but it would not let me see the raw (.cr2) images. Would I solve this problem by upgrading to LR5?
I'm running LR 4.4 on a Windows 7 PC.
Thanks for any help that can be provided.
Robert

Support for the Canon 70D was introduced with LR version 5.2. see the link below.

I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone who does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How can I remove it?

I have an event in my calendar that was sent by someone that does not work for the company anymore and I am reminded 2 times a week. How do I delete it?

Tap on the event to open the event. Click the 'Edit' button in the event bubble, then press the 'Delete Event' button at the bottom of the Edit pop-up. It's a little different for events that come through Microsoft Exchange, you tap the event to bring up bubble and click the 'Details' button, and then press 'Decline' to remove the event.

Encode Video Files not working for avi files

Hi,
I've been trying to convert some .avi files to apple format using Lion's native 'Encode video files' function however keep getting a 'avconvert: source file not found for source file://fileparthhere avconvert: failed to create an export session. Check setup
I can't work out why as this has worked before in Lion and works fine for other video formats. The only thing I've done is remove Final Cut Express HD and can't add it again as I don't own it anymore
Suggestions? Is there a encoder to make this work or should it work anyway?
Thanks

If you click Yes the project file will be updated when you save it. That has nothing to do with the media.
Are the Lesson and Media folders still in the Book Files folder (or whatever it's called)?
Select one of the clips in the browser and use Edit>Item Properties. One of the first lines is Source. That gives you the file path for where your media is supposed to be located. What does it say? If nothing is there, use the File>Reconnect function and point the application to where the media is located.

Oracle text search not working for WSDL files

I have a table (resources) with blob data type column (xml_data) and I've created context type index on that column. I've XSD and WSDL files stored in that blob column.
I can search XSD and XML files with a query with contains operator. But any search on the words from wsdl file returns zero results.I am not able to perform search on wsdl file.
Please advise me whether oracle text can work for WSDL files also ?
Query details
===========
create index myIndex on resources (xml_data) indextype is ctxsys.context;
select * from resources where contains(xml_data, 'searchword') > 0
Thanks a lot,
Santhi

Even though it isn't listed specifically, I can't see why it wouldn't work. The WSDL file should be a simple XML file, so in theory it shouldn't be any different to Oracle Text than the XML file that you loaded and searched successfully. Did you get any errors during indexing, and what do your tokens look like in the DR$MYINDEX$I.TOKEN_TEXT column?
Do you have a mini test case that didn't work for you? Perhaps we could play with it a bit.
Long term you might want to consider using section groups so that you can search "within" tags.

Preview is not working for MEdia files

Suddenly whenever I would like to have a quick look for any video file via (Space bottom) its not working, keep giving that "Loading preview" but never show the video.
i am using quick time X.
any help

There are quite a few different settings that you can choose from when converting a RAW file to a DNG. Without knowing what settings you set up in LightRoom there's no way to tell why your images aren't importing properly.
Roughly speaking, a linear DNG is one where the first part of the RAW conversion process (called debayerising or demosaicing) has already been done by Adobe.

"Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" Not Working for DNG Files

Hello,
I am needing to update DNG/JPG file pairs with keywords that I add in lightroom. The following is the problem that I am encountering.
When the image consists of only a JPEG file (ie. I had my DSLR only snap a jpeg and not an associated DNG), and I add one or more keywords to the file in Lightroom, these are written / saved immediately in Lightroom and are visible immediately in the 'tags' column for that image in windows explorer. Very useful and important functionality for my workflow.
However, when the image consists of both a JPEG and a sister DNG (i.e.,snapped simultaneously by my DSLR), and I try to add keywords to these (treated at this point as a single image by lightroom) then Lightroom does not record the keywords into either of the two files and consequently no tags are visible in windows explorer. I have confirmed this apparent problem with a seperate image metadata utility software, and am hoping that it's just something simple that I am missing.
Also "Automatically Write Changes Into XMP" is selected and I have also tried manually both: "right click," "metadata," "write metadata to file;" and "right click" "update DNG preview and metadata" and the problem persists.
Hopefully someone has encountered something similar and can point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance.

@Eric: hitting cntrl+s works but can be tedeous on large galleries. I've been doing this but it can be a pain.
@Jeannine: different topic than this thread but to answer anyways... Lightroom automatically saves all changes into your catalogue. You never need to dave your changes (here's the kicker though) as long as you do not move the original file. If you
move the file than lightroom won't know that it's the same image as the one you've edited. Once you are done editing your image you will need to "export" the image to a new file (you don't wan to overwrite the original). If you don't export than only lightroom will have your edits. Lightroom is "non-destructive" Which means that it doesn't touch your original photo. Lightroom keeps a text file containing the instructions on what you did to make the edited version. Since your changes are just text inatryxtions you have to "export" the image to get your final image in a version you can put online, print, etc. But to answer your original question, I think you prob moves the original image. If not, could you give us more info?

File.execute() not working for bat file

Dear all,
The purpose of my function copyToWinClipboard (text) is to get a string directly into the Windows Clipboard. The purpose is to allow the user of my project just to paste into the open-dialog of the application EndNote. I’m not certain whether the FM clipboard (supported by the copy/cut/paste methods for Doc) really fills into the Windows Clipboard also.
In the PhotoShop script forum I found the idea how to do this.
#target framemaker
// note the blank in the path
copyToWinClipboard ("E:\\_DDDprojects\\FM+EN escript\\FM-11-testfiles\\BibFM-collected.rtf");
function copyToWinClipboard (text) {
var theCmd, clipFile = new File(Folder.temp + "\\ClipBoardW.bat");
clipFile.open('w');
// theCmd = "echo \"" + text + "\" | clip"; // this doesn’t help either
theCmd = "echo " + text + " | clip";
clipFile.writeln (theCmd);
clipFile.close ();
clipFile.execute ();
Running this script provides a short flicker (the command prompt), but the clipboard does not contain the expected string. However, when double clicking on the generated I:\!_temp\ClipBoardW.bat the clipboard is filled correctly.
IMHO the execute method does not work correctly for bat files. In another area of my project-script i run an exe file with this method correctly.

Hi Klaus,
sorry for my late response.
execute definitely works witch batch-files
Here's a "batch" - example you can test.
There are two methods to prevent window from closing:
"|more" - kind of pagebreak
"pause"
var oTemp = app.UserSettingsDir + "\\tmp";
    var MyDosCommand = "ipconfig.exe /a|more";
    var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
    if (!oTemp.exists)
        var MyPath = new Folder (oTemp);
        var lFehler = MyPath.create();
    oTemp = oTemp + "\\" +"nw.bat";
    var MyFile = new File (oTemp);
         MyFile.open ('w');
           if (MyFile.error > "")
                alert("ERROR");
        MyFile.writeln(MyDosCommand);
        MyFile.writeln("pause");
        MyFile.close();
        MyFile.execute();

"Open With" CS3 not working for JPEG file

Operating system is XP. I am trying to get CS3 to automatically open all JPEG files when I double click on them in windows explorer.
I open windows explorer, right click on the image that I want to open, then click "open with" ....
...at this point CS3 is not one of the choices on the "open with" menu so I already smell a problem ....
..... so I click "choose program" and navigate to the adobe photoshop cs3 folder and point to photoshop.exe, then click the "always use the selected program" box, click open, and bada-boom, bada-bing, the image opens in photoshop CS3, right? WRONG.
The image opens in the Quicktime Picture Viewer program and NOT IN PHOTOSHOP CS3.
I feel that I have entered the Twilight Zone, otherwise known as The Adobe Messed Up Someting In The Registry Upon CS3 Install Zone. Does anyone have any hints on how to get PS CS3 working as the default program for JPEGs when I double click them from explorer on my XP computer?
Thanks,
Mark

After a long search I found the answer:
To associate all jpeg files with Photoshop CS3 so that they will open into CS3 when double clicked:
Click Start, Run and type in: Control Folders.
Click the file Types Tab.
Wait for the list of file types to populate.
Single click on the jpeg file type.
Click the Advanced button.
Highlight open and click the edit button.
Browse to the location of photoshop.exe in the CS3 folder.
A few OK's and you are done.
AND ANOTHER THING .........
After the change above was made, jpg files would open directly to photoshop cs3 when doubleclicked, but the maintained the same goofy quicktime pictureviewer icon when viewed in windows explorer. To change the icon for jpeg files displayed in all folders to the photoshop icon, do this:
Start / My Computer
Click Tools at the top of the screen.
Click folder options .... then the file types tab
Click on jpeg in the list and click the advanced button
Click change icon and browse to the photoshop.exe for CS3
A list of ocon choices will appear .... I chose the second row first icon
A couple of OKs and you are done

Preview not Available for NEF files

It is my first time using LR and also my first time trying to download NEF files from my new D750. I removed the card from the camera and inserted it into my computer (MacBook Pro) I can see previews of the images shot in JPEG format, but those shot in RAW format are appearing as boxes with "Preview not available". The D750 came with Nikon ViewNX2 software, which I downloaded, and I can see the previews on that. Any suggestions/ideas on what might be the problem?

Lightroom does not support the Nikon D750 RAW photos at this time.
Please read this thread:

Just released (see the message 49 of that thread) is a DNG converter that should allow you to convert the NEF to DNG and import those into Lightroom.

Quick look not working for office files from mail

I installed the new Microsoft Powerpoint on my ipad to check it out. I didn't really like it so I uninstalled it. Now when I am in mail and try to view a Powerpoint presention (or any other office file), quick look opens with just the name and size of the file rather than letting me view the file. I am assuming installing Powerpoint somehow disabled Quick View for those files. How do I fix this? I really need to be able to read office files from Mail on my ipad!!

It sounds like you may have 2 different programs that support quicklook differently. I suspect the .doc files are different formats that are using one or the other application.
A quick test - select a file with the full preview. Get info on it in the Finder (File > Get Info) see what application it is set to open with by default. I suspect this will be TextEdit or MS Word. Compare this to a file that has no preview in quicklook. Change over the default application to the other application and see if the preview appears.
My understanding is that the software has to be aware of quick look to parse the document and create the preview. It could be that one of the softwares needs an update, or is too old to support quicklook.
you should be able to see the version number by opening the application and using the About menu under the Application menu. Post them here if the above doesn't work.
You may also compare the 'Kind' in the info dialog, it could be that they are slightly different formats. Opening and saving may generate the previews (keep the originals if you do this!)

QuickLook not working for SVG files

Hi,
I get a blank white rectangle when I QuickLook SVG files. Is it working for anyone else?
I'm testing with this file, which renders correctly in Safari, and shows a preview in Finder. I'm running OS X 10.10.2.
qlmanage -d 1 -p SVG_logo.svg says that it's using the Web.qlgenerator.

Apple closed my radar as a duplicate of #19639311.
A quick google search revealed that this same bug is affecting html files as well.
