Previews in grid view

I installed LR 1.0, and imported photos from Photoshop Elements 5.0.2. The previews in grid view (both normal and extended cells) are updating every time I scroll the view, or start LR. It mean that first I see preview with ugly (pixelated) quality, after 2-5 seconds in better quality, and after that in god quality. When I scroll the grid down and up to see the photo, it updates. And it takes some time, especially when I have a lots of photos.
How can it be solved?
WinXP, 768mb RAM, ~7000 photos in library, in PSE it works fine
Thank you

Pierre,
Your suggestion probably right in general, but costs money and will not help in this particular case.
Described behaviour is "by design".
All we can do - is to ask Adobe again and again to implement caching and storing of high-quality thumbnails on-the-fly, as other DAMs do.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Movie thumbnail previews in Coverflow and Grid view...not there

I'm using Snow Leopard and have both QT-X and QT 7 Pro on my MacBook Pro.
In Finder, I have a folder containing several movie types including mpeg, avi, mov, qt, m4v, mp4, flv and wmv
I've noticed that I don't see thumbnail previews for any of these movies and wondered if anybody else can see their thumbnails, either in Grid View or Coverflow
In 3-column view, the thumbail appears once the file is highlighted.
In iTunes, the thumbnail also appears (for those that can be added to the Library)
I also have the latest Perian and Flip4Mac apps installed.
I've tried re-launching Finder after deleting the com.apple.quicklook.plist file
Thanks

I also tried this (deleting the Quicklook cache) and no luck, still the same issue.
I did a clean installation and this works
However, I did again the installation and imported my USER profile in FULL via the assistant when you first configured Snow Leopard (using an FULL BACKUP copy and/or Time Machine Backup) and then problem reappears
I have reinstalled DivX, Desinstalled RealPlayer deinstalled Perian and still the same issue. I cannot see the Thumbnails or the Cover Flow of the video/movie file such MPG, MPG, AVI, WMV but it works for MP4 I have for my IPod
I finally gave up and left this last installation and I did not have the energy to migrate my data, emails, settngs, etc manually.
By the way, the upgrade from Leopard 10.5.8 towards Snow Leopard 10.6 was smooth but the performance was awful specially after installing 10.6.1. With the upgrade I had the same issue with my USER account or with any, NO THUMBSNAILs for most of my videos enough though they are played correctly in Quicktime and Quicklook....
Any help????

Preview/Crop Updates in Grid view

Due to the performance hit, I have the auto update XMP feature turned off.
I recently imported a batch of 400+ photos and made changes to white
balance, cropping and other settings. The images are DNG files. Every time I
switch back to the folder containing these images LR takes a while to read
and update the previews in grid mode to match the changes I have made. This
is slowing me down.
I have tried selecting all the photos and instructing LR to update the XMP
data, but it doesn't appear to work. Is there another setting or something
that I am missing?
Thanks

I have the same issue. I thought 1.2 had solved the slowww Grid mode preview creation until I went back to a folder of roughly 400 images and worked on them in Develop, cropping many and color balancing all. Now, back in Grid, my preview thumbnails are low, low res. I optimized the catalog, came back and selected all and told LR to render standard previews. That was roughly three minutes ago and the progress bar is about 1/10th complete. Even when the Rendering Standard Previews progess bar shows an image finished, the image thumbnail is not sharpened. Each image appears to be taking several minutes, but the progress bar may not be accurate. It has been 7 minutes so far and very little progress has occurred. This is on a Mac Pro with 8gigs of RAM and 4 internal hd's, none of which are overly full.
I left LR 1.1 because of this kind of behavior.
I really like LR but this slow behavior makes it unworkable.

LR 1.3 Grid View Pixelation

Guys,
I have recently upgraded to 1.3 from 1.2 on a new 2.8Ghz imac with 4GB running 10.5.1 using LR and I have noticed that the grid view in library mode shows pictures heavily pixelated for a few seconds when I scroll the grid view. After a few seconds the view is corrected as expected.
I do not recall this problem with 1.2 and I was wondering if something has changed in 1.3 or if I need to do some extra step to get back to the snappy LR grid view that I remember.
Also, has the 'discard previews after 30 days' option been dropped from LR now? I remember it in 1.0 but cannot find it anymore.
Any advice appreciated. Love the program!

I'm rendering 1:1 previews at present, but even wit that going on in the background the scrolling isn't to bad when I put my Logictech Performance mouse scroll wheel in to free spin mode. The video shows free wheel scrolling when mouse is placed over grid, over the scrollbar and lastly slow scrolling. In the video I scroll through just over 20,000 images. The display is 30inch.
That looks somewhat better than I'm seeing, but still pretty terrible. Lots of jumping, not much smooth scrolling. LR 2.x performed much better than that on my old, slow hardware.

Light Gray Borders in Dark Grid View

With iTunes 9.0.2, I was able to switch to the "Dark" option of Grid View and it worked fine. However, I just upgraded to Snow Leopard and for some reason, the Dark Grid View option now shows light gray borders around the album art/video preview. When I click into the album art to show the listing of songs/videos, the view changes to the "Light" option. I've tried to delete all the iTunes preference files but it doesn't solve the problem. Here's what it looks like:

And when clicking on the video podcast link:

Thanks in advance for any help I can get.

If you have to reset your iTunes preferences, go into User/Library/Preferences. Search for "com.apple.iTunes" and move the following three files to your desktop:
com.apple.iTunes.eq.plist
com.apple.iTunes.plist
com.apple.iTunesHelper.plist
Once you have the files to your desktop, restart your computer and iTunes should be back in working order!

Blurry images when zooming in Survey & Grid View

When I am in Survey View and hit the Z key, some of the previews are blurry. The same thing happens in Grid View. However, in Loupe View, the images are fine when I the 'Z' key. Using Survey View would make things go faster when making my picks. Any ideas why this happens?
I tried rendering 1:1 but the returns a mesage that says renders are up to date and rendering was done.

cppasm wrote:
This is definitely a bug. I can see it too, and it's little bit annoying. LR 4.1, Win7 x64.
To reproduce just select two images, render 1:1 previews to be shure they are present.
Then press 'N' to switch to Survey mode, and now press 'Z' to zoom in active photo.
It gets zoomed, but looks like LR zooms in standard (smaller) preview instead of using 1:1 preview - the result is blurry and a little pixelated, it definitely lacks resolution.
But when in the Loupe view (switch view using 'E') and zooming all work just fine - the image is at full resolution and is sharp.
And even if I switch from Survey to Loupe with zoomed in image - it still stays blurry.
To get sharp image I need to zoom out and then zoom in again.
So in short - it looks like 1:1 preview is used only when image is zoomed in from the Loupe view.
At least others seem to experience the same thing so I know it's not just me. I'd say it's more than a little bit annoying because it causes you to second guess yourself and you constantly have to switch to a view to see if the image is actually sharp or not. It really slows down the workflow.

Loupe and Grid view rendering not as good as Develop view.

I recently see that while using LR 5.6 the images rendered in the loupe and grid views do not look nearly as good as the same image displayed in the develop view. I have screen grabs if you'd like to see them below. The Loupe and grid are not as saturated and the gradient in the sky is not nearly as smooth. If I bounce between 'E' and 'D' it is pretty obvious. Once in a while the 'E' (loupe) view looks the same. I'm afraid that I will delete an image based on what I see in the Loupe or do unnecessary edits on an image. When I exported to jpg, the images looked pretty good.
Grid:
Loupe:
Develop:

As far as what could be contributing to a difference, other than an actual bug:
LR Previews are stored as AdobeRGB JPGs, so Library previews go from LR-Internal color profile to AdobeRGB to Display color profile, whereas Develop previews go directly from LR-Internal color profile to Display color profile. If there are some colors that are outside of AdobeRGB then some conversion may occur. The conversion to 8-bit JPG is also probably adding banding that Develop wouldn’t show. There might also be Relative vs Perceptual color profile conversion differences occurring. I don’t know the specifics of which is used for the Adobe color profile conversion and whether what you’re seeing is outside the expected variations.
If you view at less than 1:1/100% zoom, especially with Fit or Fill, then small details that vary across the group of original image pixels that are displayed as one display pixel can be averaged differently due to differences in the downsampling algorithms used between computing Library file previews and computing Develop display previews where Develop’s is built for speed because it occurs in real-time after every slider movement, where Library previews are computed in the background and so can use a more accurate resampling algorithm. Usually this is only a difference in sharp/smoothness but it can also manifest as a difference in tone if there are lots of tiny noise spots getting averaged together inaccurately in Develop or more accurately in Library.
Since I can see only a tiny difference between Library and Develop on my monitor in this particular example, I can't imagine that small difference is enough to reject the Library version and accept the Develop version. Maybe you're seeing others with more differences?

LR1 slow to display clear thumbnails in grid view

I'm still using LR1 (1.4.1)
My setup:
-quadcore Intel, @2.8 Ghz
-Vista x64 SP1
-8GB ram
-LR install on OS disk
-system page file, and LR catalog and previews installed on a raid0 (stripe) pair of disks
-Photos themselves on yet another disk
-All disks are SATA2
-Selected all photos in the catalog, and saved metadata
-The write xmp on change flag is unchecked
-I optimized my catalog
-I removed the previews directory, selected all photos in the catalog (16K) and did a generate 1:1 preview (2048 pixel, high quality, never delete them), and I also did a generate standard previews as well.
-I turned off Vista indexing of the previews directory and the photos directory
-I don't have a dedicated Virus scanner running
Work flow:
I chose a day's worth of photos from the navigator on the left, and set a keyword in the keyword "spraycan". I start scrolling (with the mouse wheel) down through the grid.
Issue:
right off the bat it takes about 2 seconds or so for the thumbnails to become clear - they start off quite pixelated. I start "spraying" photos with my keyword. I scroll down to the next page full of thumbnails. It takes another 2 sometimes a bit more seconds before I can see what's in the thumbnails (until they sharpen). It doesn't sound like a big deal, but when I have a lot of keywords to add, I really want to be able to scan quickly through the patch of photos and quickly tag them. That 2 seconds each time I scroll really starts to drag.
I with that LR would be able to in the backround sharpen the thumbnails in the Grid, so that when I scroll they are ready for me. Or perhaps I'm missing something with my optimization or configuration?
Thanks for listening,
Damon

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.

Color shift @ grid view

Exported a couple of pics from LR3 (both JPG and NEF) as DNG, moved them to LR4: Correct color in dev mode, but in grid view or pressing e to view a single pic its color is significantly shifted (reredering previews did not help).

How significant?
Can uou post a screenshot?

Where is fluild grid view in DWCC20141.1

I am tring to work through the train simple tutorials on fluid grids. In the adding Header chapter the auther is in design mode and states we nned to be in the fluild grid view mode. Newest version of DW doesn't have Design mode and I see no button for the fluid grid view. I HAV TRIED TO CREATE THE FILE      and save all and then preview in browser and I get code and DW locks up and won't show split or live view. Code view shows the following:
@charset "utf-8";
/* Simple fluid media
   Note: Fluid media requires that you remove the media's height and width attributes from the HTML
   http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fluid-images/
img, object, embed, video {

/* IE 6 does not support max-width so default to width 100% */
.ie6 img {

.fluidList {

    list-style-image:none;
    margin:0;
    padding:0;

Design View no longer exists in Fluid Grid Layouts as of CC 2014.1. Adobe is aware of the fact that they forgot to add much of Design View's functionality to the new Live View editor and have said they are working on it.
If you'd like to get Design View back, there is a work around. Close any open files, place an X in the Fluid Grid .css file as shown below...
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:       X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
Save the page and restart DW. You should then have Design View back for your FGL. Another way to fix it would be to roll back to the older DWCC 2014.0. You can do that via direct download here...

FillBy always fills in the same row in data grid view. How to make it fill in a new row for each click of the Fillby Button? VB 2010 EXPRESS?

Hi there,
I am a beginner in Visual Basic Express 2010. I have a Point of Sale program that uses DataGridView to display records from an external microsoft access
database using the fillby query.
It works, but it repopulates the same row each time, but i want to be able to display multiple records at the same time, a new row should be filled for
each click of the fillby button.
also I want to be able to delete any records if the customer suddenly decides to not buy an item after it has already been entered.
so actually 2 questions here:
1. how to populate a new row for each click of the fillby button
2. how to delete records from data grid view after an item has been entered
Thanks
Vishwas

Hello,
The FillBy method loads data according to what the results are from the SELECT statement, so if there is one row then you get one row in the DataGridView, have two rows then two rows show up.
Some examples
Form load populates our dataset with all data as it was defined with a plain SELECT statement. Button1 loads via a query I created after the fact to filter on a column, the next button adds a new row to the existing data. When adding a new row it is appended
to the current data displayed and the primary key is a negative value but the new key is shown after pressing the save button on the BindingNavigator or there are other ways to get the new key by manually adding the row to the backend table bypassing the Adapter.
The following article with code shows this but does not address adapters.
Conceptually speaking the code in the second code block shows how to get the new key
Public Class Form1
Private Sub StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem_Click(
sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles StudentsBindingNavigatorSaveItem.Click
Me.Validate()
Me.StudentsBindingSource.EndEdit()
Me.TableAdapterManager.UpdateAll(Me.MyDataSet)
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_Load(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
'TODO: This line of code loads data into the 'MyDataSet.Students' table. You can move, or remove it, as needed.
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.Fill(Me.MyDataSet.Students)
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Me.StudentsTableAdapter.FillBy(Me.MyDataSet.Students, ComboBox1.Text)
End Sub
Private Sub Button2_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button2.Click
Me.MyDataSet.Students.AddStudentsRow("Jane", "Adams", "Female")
End Sub
End Class
Get new key taken from
this article.
Public Function AddNewRow(ByVal sender As Customer, ByRef Identfier As Integer) As Boolean
Dim Success As Boolean = True
Try
Using cn As New OleDb.OleDbConnection With {.ConnectionString = Builder.ConnectionString}
Using cmd As New OleDb.OleDbCommand With {.Connection = cn}
cmd.CommandText = InsertStatement
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CompanyName", sender.CompanyName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactName", sender.ContactName)
cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@ContactTitle", sender.ContactTitle)
cn.Open()
cmd.ExecuteNonQuery()
cmd.CommandText = "Select @@Identity"
Identfier = CInt(cmd.ExecuteScalar)
End Using
End Using
Catch ex As Exception
Success = False
End Try
Return Success
End Function
In closing I have not given you a solution but hopefully given you some stuff/logic to assist with this issue, if not perhaps I missed what you want conceptually speaking.

Why does iTunes grid view not remember default sort settings?

Hello,
I am using iTunes 8.1 and I like to use the Grid view (Artists). Using the Grid view and clicking on an artist to look at the albums, I like to sort the albums within using "Album by Year".
Once I have made this change, it sticks until I close iTunes, so I can go into any other artist from Grid view and the albums will be listed using "Album by Year" automatically.
When I restart iTunes and click on an artist in grid view, iTunes has reverted to sorting via the first column, the one with track numbers. I then have to manually click "Album by Year" to get it sorted again.
I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if there is a solution to it? This also happened in iTunes before I upgraded to 8.1.
Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't offer any solution because I'm experiencing the same kind of trouble. Please help us! It would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,

Slow-to-load album covers in Grid View

I've encountered a problem for a while that I thought I might bring up...
Whenever I start iTunes, it defaults to Grid View, the only view I use when browsing iTunes. Now, I'm unsure if iTunes caches album art or not, but every time I boot it up and scroll down, all of my albums appear artless for half a second before slowly applying the album art. This makes scrolling down incredibly slow and clunky.
Once I fully scroll down, I can scroll smoothly all I want, but if I close iTunes, everything is clunky again. Any tips? Does iTunes not cache album art?

iTunes will need to load all of your artwork when using cover flow and grid view. There IS a cache folder in the Album Artwork folder of iTunes, but i don't know how effective that is.
However, if you are running a version earlier than 9.2, iTunes 9.2 runs cover flow and grid view A LOT faster than previous versions, since what it does is create thumbnail versions of your images for those views only, making those views operate a heck of a lot quicker.
I know 9.2 still has some bugs and some people may advise against it, but if you really want to see a boost of performance with grid view I'd recommend updating if you haven't already. Besides, for any bugs there, Apple will probably release fixes for them shortly.
