Problems with Preview and changes made to images

i occasionally use Preview.app (v3.0.9) to rotate or crop image files (jpegs in this instance). if I then close the image, save changes and re-open, the image is changed. however, the icon doesn't update to the new orientation/crop and if I drag-and-drop the image into Mail.app or Photoshop.app (i'm using a very old Elements 2.0) I get the original image without the changes.
is this a fault or am I just not understanding the way it's supposed to function? surely there's a way to crop/rotate images on a Mac without 3rd party software like Photoshop?
(i'm not talking about images i want to retain in iPhoto either, i'm a business user and don't use iPhoto for work )

Here's several freeware graphics apps that you might want to try.

Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

Hi guys, hope you can help...
I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
(this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
Thanks for your help.
DAve.

maybe I'm onto something...
I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
Any more realistic ideas?

Problems with Preview and Digital Camera

Hi All,
I bought a Konica Minolta DImageX1 camera and the first few pics I took and downloaded them onto my ibook ans view them on Preview everything was alright. However, everytime I now transfer pictures to my laptop and when I view them with Preview it displays the following message:
"Preview cannot display the image properly. The file may be corrupt. Reason: Can't cache file". After this the image is loaded anyway.
But when I transfer the pictures to my Windows PC and I view them there, I get no warning message. And I downloaded an Image Viewer freeware from Versiontracker.com and it gave no warning message as well.
Any suggestions as to what could cause this problem with Preview?
Thank you in advance,
Eder
ibook g4 1.2 GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi Eder,
I have exactly the same problem with you.
But what I am using is DiMAGE Z6.
What I am concern is that if this affect the image quality.
Anyone who know how to solve this, please advice.
Thanks and good day!

Problem with layout and changing content

Hi, I`m new to Swing and I have a problem with layout.
I want to make a menu using JButtons so that depending on which button you click you`ll get different content in the window. And first of all I don`t know how to center the buttons.
I have a JFrame called GameWindow that has a JPanel field called content. My idea was to create a JPanel with buttons and then using ActionListeners change the JPanel held in 'content'.
Here`s the code:
public class GameWindow extends JFrame{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel content;
     private Player player;
     public GameWindow(){
          super("Dawn Crystal");
          Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DO_NOTHING_ON_CLOSE);
          setSize((int)screenSize.getWidth(), (int)screenSize.getHeight());
          setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
     public void mainMenu(){
          content = new MainMenu(this);
          Dimension dim = content.getSize();
          setLayout(null);
          Dimension screen = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
          int x = (int)((screen.getWidth() - dim.getWidth()) / 2);
          int y = (int)((screen.getHeight() - dim.getHeight()) / 2);
          int dimX = (int)dim.getWidth();
          int dimY = (int)dim.getHeight();
          content.setBounds(x, y, 120, 120);
          getContentPane().add(content);
          setVisible(true);
     public void adventureScreen(){
          //so far empty
     public void createNewPlayer(){
          content.setVisible(false);
          content = new NewPlayerCreationWindow();
          getContentPane().add(content);
          content.setVisible(true);
          //setVisible(true);
     public void setPlayer(Player p){ player=p; }
public class MainMenu extends JPanel{
     private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
     private JPanel mainMenuButtons;
     private JButton newGame;
     private JButton loadGame;
     private JButton options;
     private JButton exit;
     public MainMenu(GameWindow par){
          mainMenuButtons = new JPanel();
          //create buttons
          newGame = new JButton("NEW GAME");
          loadGame = new JButton("LOAD GAME");
          options = new JButton("OPTIONS");
          exit = new JButton("EXIT");
          //create action listeners
          newGame.addActionListener(new NewGameListener());
          exit.addActionListener(new ExitListener(par));
          //add buttons to panel
          mainMenuButtons.setLayout( new GridLayout(4,1));
          mainMenuButtons.add(newGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(loadGame);
          mainMenuButtons.add(options);
          mainMenuButtons.add(exit);
          add(mainMenuButtons);
}When it displays the buttons are at the top of the frame rather than in the center - I thought that was how the default layout would behave. So that`s my first question - how to center it.
Secondly I have NewPlayerCreationWindow written but when I call createNewPlayer() I get an empty frame - what am I doing wrong?
Finally I`d like to ask how can I make the frame appear as maximized when the application is started? The setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); doesn`t help actually because the window`s height is too big and a part of window is hidden under the system bar. I want to have it maximized regardless of screen resolution.

Problems with Preview and HTML

Hey people,
im relatively new to using dreamweaver and currently doing a
wesite for a friend. i did the layout in photoshop and sliced it
into tables and cells in dreamweaver and set each sliced image as
each of their bg images.
can anyone tell me why...
THIS
THIS
when previewed in dreamweaver looks like...
THIS
and when opening the saved html file as itself it looks
like...
THIS?
i have no idea why and am afraid to give my friend the html
files without knowing it won't look like that for him.
the images are located in a /images file.

> all images are linked via a images folder as
/images/picture.jpeg
Actually not.
What you describe is a root relative link - that means that
all links begin
their path at the root of the site.
That's what you have here -
background-image: url(/images/grey.jpg);
But it's not what you have here -
background="middle.jpg"
Enable temp files in PREFERENCES | Preview in Browser, and
you'll see those
images in preview (after you fix the link I show above).

sorry for any mistake in ortographe

Can you provide some info about your system? Graphics card? Screeen resolution? Operating system? What input device (mouse or tablet)? This error has cropped up elsewhere recently, but since the person asking did not provide any details, we were unable to resolve it. If you are having difficulty posting in English, feel free to use your native language. We have English, French,Spanish, German, Russian and even a bit of Japanese covered by people here, so someone might be able to even answer in that language, provided a solution is available.

Problem with PREVIEW and photoshop JPG's

hi ...
just trying out the new version of Adobe's CS6 Photoshop;
exported a dozen files as JPG's for an album, but my app,
"JAlbum", which I normally use for HTML albums rendered
them as totally black, and when I try to open them in PREVIEW,
(they look normal when they open), and RE-SAVE them,
PREVIEW will not allow the save, and the estimated file
size on the "save as" is ZERO KB.
would anyone have a clue of what is going on?
thanks!

Check the rights where you're trying to save them, or change the Save location for a test.

Problem with JTextPane and StateInvariantError

Hi. I am having a problem with JTextPanes and changing only certain text to bold. I am writing a chat program and would like to allow users to make certain text in their entries bold. The best way I can think of to do this is to add <b> and </b> tags to the beginning and end of any text that is to be bold. When the other client receives the message, the program will take out all of the <b> and </b> tags and display any text between them as bold (or italic with <i> and </i>). I've searched the forums a lot and figured out several ways to make the text bold, and several ways to determine which text is bold before sending the text, but none that work together. Currently, I add the bold tags with this code: (note: messageDoc is a StyledDocument and messageText is a JTextPane)
public String getMessageText() {
          String text = null;
          boolean bold = false, italic = false;
          for (int i = 0; i < messageDoc.getLength(); i++) {
               messageText.setCaretPosition(i);
               if (StyleConstants.isBold(messageDoc.getCharacterElement(i).getAttributes()) && !bold) {
                    bold = true;
                    if (text != null) {
                         text = text + "<b>";
                    else {
                         text = "<b>";
               else if (StyleConstants.isBold(messageDoc.getCharacterElement(i).getAttributes()) && bold) {
                    // Do nothing
               else if (!StyleConstants.isBold(messageDoc.getCharacterElement(i).getAttributes()) && bold) {
                    bold = false;
                    if (text != null) {
                         text = text + "</b>";
                    else {
                         text = "</b>";
               try {
                    if (text != null) {
                         text = text + messageDoc.getText(i,1);
                    else {
                         text = messageDoc.getText(i, 1);
               catch (BadLocationException e) {
                    System.out.println("An error occurred while getting the text from the message document");
                    e.printStackTrace();
          return text;
     } // end getMessageText()When the message is sent to the other client, the program searches through the received message and changes the text between the bold tags to bold. This seems as if it should work, but as soon as I click on the bold button, I get a StateInvariantError. The code for my button is:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
          if (evt.getSource() == bold) {
               MutableAttributeSet bold = new SimpleAttributeSet();
               StyleConstants.setBold(bold, true);
               messageText.getStyledDocument().setCharacterAttributes(messageText.getSelectionStart(), messageText.getSelectionStart() - messageText.getSelectionEnd() - 1, bold, false);
     } //end actionPerformed()Can anyone help me to figure out why this error is being thrown? I have searched for a while to figure out this way of doing what I'm trying to do and I've found out that a StateInvariantError has been reported as a bug in several different circumstances but not in relation to this. Or, if there is a better way to add and check the style of the text that would be great as well. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance.

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
Can't tell from you code what the problem is because I don't know the context of how each method is invoked. But it would seem like you are trying to query the data in the Document while the Document is being updated. Try wrapping the getMessageText() method is a SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
There is no need to write custom code for a Bold Action you can just use:
JButton bold = new JButton( new StyledEditorKit.BoldAction() );Also your code to build the text String is not very efficient. You should not be using string concatenation to append text to the string. You should be using a StringBuffer or StringBuilder.

Problem with navigation and masthead by changing languages with Anonymous

Hi All,
i have a problem with navigation and masthead by changin the language when accessing as anonymous user.
Ive created two additional users anon_de (with language german )and anon_en (for english).
I've created also two links in the in masthead:
/irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=anon_en and /irj/portal/anonymous?guest_user=anon_de
When i choose "de" for the first time it works fine, but when i choose "en" again the language in the content are is changing to english again, but not in navigation and masthead. When i click again on link for "en" the languge is set to english. Strange thing is that when i click on "de" instead the portal content change to german but masthead and navigation are in english now, as it should be before....
It seems that masthead and navigation have always prevoius language selected.
Do you know, what could be the reason of that strange behavior?
Thanks for help
Karol

Hi Detlev,
you are right. the user is not "updated" fast enough... the strange thing is, that it works by the first time i change the language...
well.. i can implement that workaround as you suposed, but it would be a really workaround as the same page will be requestes second time, causing requests number to be double..
Thanks for help
ps. i forgot to mark this message as question to give points.. if you tell me how i can change that ill reward your answer..

I'm having problems with FlashPlayerPlugin and plugin-container. They keep starting up and bogging down the system. This has been a recent occurrance. I've made sure that I have the latest version. I notice the problem when I am opening some applicatio, and it freezes. If I go to Task Manager, I can see the two Adobe apps sucking up CPU cycles. If I end the processes, then the other apps continue. Today, I uninstalled FlashPlayerPluginqand plugin-container. All day since I have had no freezing of an app. What should I do to correct the problem?

Here's an explanation of what those processes are.

Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
/System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
*was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
+was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update+
Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

it was working fine until yesterday, i've been searching about xcb_io.c but sadly i haven't found anything useful.
Edit:
it seems i can run it fine as sudo but not as a regular user
Edit2:
well it seems that there was something wrong with my .zsnes folder, i deleted it (well first i made a backup of it) and i can run zsnes again.
Edit3:
well, it seems i got a problem with opengl and my catalyst driver (but i'm guessing because i haven't tried with radeon) because i can use it without opengl but as soon as i change the video option to use opengl it crashes with the same error (zsnes: xcb_io.c:515: _XReply: Assertion `!dpy->xcb->reply_data' failed.) should i file a bug report or something???

Problem with Gnome and D-Bus

Hi to all, i have a problem with Gnome and D-Bus

1>then i can't promote garnome on this forum??
yeah you can, but not as a solution to gnome related problem in arch. cause this doesn't resolve anything.
2>You don't have to, garnome2.14.2.1(481kb) download the patches and patch it automatically, just change install dir to /usr
(ONLY if you are using console-linux who want gnome a try). of course there is need small arch related patch.(in my experience 0)
eh, i haven't got a clue what this means, putting patches upstream means they will get include in gargnome and upstream releases. i only tried to say we put a lot of our free time in gnome for arch.
2-1>Well said, so choice is the each one's freedom.
and this category isn't arch, this is Desktop Environments,
i installed arch, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEANS I SHOULD USE gnome FROM ARCH!!!
agreed, but again then we won't support your desktop.
