PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1?

PSD File Icons don't display in Windows 8.1. How to fix?

You would have to buy a third party codec for thumbnail displays that Windows doesn't support.
Ardfry Imaging, LLC
So why should you have to pay?
I have many years ago tried to get Microsoft to implement thumbnail support to no avail.
So in the end, Ardfrey's codec takes care of it for $20, free upgrades and I can get on with any work that requires thumbnails at the OS level.

Preview PSD file icons

I just switched fom CS4 to CS5 and now my PSD files no longer show me a preview of the images. I know it has nothing to do with the versions because I have saved CS5 PSDs and the icons still do not show the actual image, just the standard PS icon. How can I set CS5 to show me the actual image of the PSD file on the icon instead of a standard PS icon?

Change all instances of the Photoshop version to whatever you're using, i.e., "Photoshop.Image.9" becomes "Photoshop.Image.11" if you are using CS4.
Save as Install.reg, right click and choose Merge. Make sure you have the psicon.dll where it's supposed to be. Google for this info if you don't have the icon already in place.
Is this a hack? Depends on your definition. Photoshop used to do this whenever you installed a version prior to CS.
Of course, the usual disclaimers and warnings apply: May cause data and or hair loss. May contribute to swollen hemorrhoids, painful rectal itch and erectile dysfunction. Do not let children play with the reg file without supervision. Consult a doctor immediately if monkeys fly out of your butt.
OK, seriously now, data loss is the real concern. Most folks never had the problem but some did and that's why Adobe scuttled the icon thing.

Camera Raw icons don't display as thumbnails

New Canon T3i; I download files from camera to folder; the display as generic icon "CR2" in big blue letters, file is a page with camera lens staring at me. Previous camera Canon G11 worked fine; that is, transfer pics from camera, and without any processing the file icons display as thumbnails, if I have the View settings correct. Apple says its Canon's EOS Utility, not creating the thumbnail, whereas its CameraWindow for my G11 did. But; I was able to also transfer files from Camera to a folder via Adobe Bridge CS5, and it too didnt create thumbnails. So I'm ruling out Canon's file transfer software somewhat.
Canon says it's Apple, they need to update their OS. I pointed out that their Camera Raw Updater is only for Aperture & Iphoto and wont install any codec or driver specific to the OS. I can open the Raw files fine with Photoshop or Bridge CS5, and if I save file as a PSD, Tiff, or Jpeg, the Icon displays as a thumbnail. But I shouldnt have to process the files to display the icon as a thumbnail; if my G11 an do it, then a better camera ought to be able to do it too.
So who's not allowing the display of file thumbnails; Apple or Canon ?

Jim + Jeff,
Thanks for the clarification. I know that in Bridge you can choose to sort files by pretty much whatever you want. It just seemed odd that if you just open files directly in PS (as far as I can tell) there's no way to adjust the order in which they display.
Oh well, if Bridge is the answer, then Bridge is the answer.
Thanks.

My Illustrator file icons don't match what the actual file image is. How can I fix this?

I'm using Illustrator 5.0 with MAC OS 10.8.4 and the Illustrator file icons are different thatn the actual file image. It's using the same image for 5 different files. THey all started out the same, but I edited them and then did a save as, but the file icon image didn't update. How can I fix this? I tried resaving the files and copying the files, but it didn't work.
Thanks
Michelle

Are you on CS5 or the very old AI5, which a few vinyl cut shops may have?
Do a save as , and enable PDF Compatible. That usually helps if the icons are blank, but may help you.
If that don't help do a command I on the file, select the icon, and hit the delete key to see if anything happens.

Dreamweaver file icons are not displaying correctly.

Hi,
I recently uninstalled a trial copy of the Creative Suite CS4 Master Collection and then purchased the Design Premium bundle.
My icons are now all differnet. For example, .asp files display with the "text" document icon.
Is there a way (either mnaually or with a utility) to reset all of the icons to there proper state?
I am running Vista Ultimate.
Thanks.

Open Notepad.
Copy this text into a new document:
c:\windows\system32\cleanmgr.exe /dc /sageset: 1
c:
cd \
cd c:\windows\prefetch
del *.* /q
Save to your desktop as "clean.bat" ( a Windows Batch File)
Double click it. It will open the disk cleanup tool.
You'll notice a whole bunch of other stuff listed that doesn't show up when you normally run the disk cleanup.
Check EVERYTHING. (Don't worry, if these were important files, Windows wouldn't list them as cleanable to save space.)
Close the disk cleanup.
Right click the clean.bat file and choose Edit.
In the first line where it says sageset:, change it to sagerun: then save and close the file.
Double click it again and will run a thorough cleanup of your C:/ drive, including some windows cache files that hold icon preferences for file types.
Reboot when it finishes and see if the icons aren't set right.

Firefox launches and re-loads my tabs, but clicking on the tray icon doesn't display the window

I can see that Firefox is loaded and running (running Windows 7) - I can hear notices of emails arriving and see the miniature version of the active tab when my mouse hovers over the icon in the tray - but when I click on it it doesn't expand the window so that I can view it. I have tried closing and re-opening as well as restarting my computer. I'm hoping for a solution that preserves the open tabs I currently have. Thanks in advance for any and all help!

* Use Restore or Maximize in the right-click context menu of the Taskbar icon to set focus to the Firefox application if you do not see the Firefox window.
* Open the system menu of that Firefox window via Alt+Space and see if you can move and resize that window (use the keyboard cursor keys).
If that works then first close all other open Firefox windows and then close Firefox via "File > Exit/Quit" to save that setting.
If the above didn't help then see:

Adobe Reader Shortcut Icons don't display properly

Uninstalled and reinstalled latest version. Recently used program list on XP Home S3 Start Menu doesn't display Adobe logo and neither does Adobe Reader 9 shortcut on All Programs. PDF shortcuts display properly.
Tried to search knowledge base and found no relevant articles. I can't believe you have to buy support for Adobe products.
Thanks

You can use Properties | Change Icon to adjust the icons on shortcuts. Unfortunately this has to be done on each shortcut itself; it will not adjust all of them automatically.

Illustrator File Icons are White?? Windows 7

I seem to have lost my icons for Illustrator CS2 and InDesign CS2 files. The files show as a standard white "page" icon, instead of the program icon. Since I often have multiple Adobe file formats in one folder, it makes it difficult to distinguish which ones are Illustrator vs. InDesign. Oddly enough, Photoshop files and GoLive site files show their icons for files.
I read elsewhere online that this could be caused by a cleaning utility program such as CCleaner when "{GUID} folders are deleted from C:\Windows\Installer." However, I can't find the answer as to how to FIX it.
I have tried using Windows>Default Programs>Associate a file type or protocol with a program to check that Illustrator and InDesign are set as defaults to open the files. I found that the programs were set to shortcuts within the Adobe folder. I fixed that by deleting the shortcut and putting the actual program link as the source to open the program. (Actual program .exe file was located within Adobe Illustrator> Support Files>Contents>Windows.)
Also, I have the Adobe CS2 Suite installed under Program Files (x86).
Thanks for any insight you can provide!

Update: I used the program Default Program Editor suggested in this thread. It easily fixed my blank Illustrator icons, but my will not fix my InDesign icons, which still show as blank white pages. Well, I'm halfway there, at least.

Icons do not display using Windows 7 on HP Pavilion DM4 laptop. They display with Chrome browser-same laptop. Also display on Dell desktop with Windows XP

An example:
In gmail, when you click on an email in your in-box, icon graphics depicting options for the selected email (e.g., trash box, etc.) show up in Chrome but are replaced by empty rectangle images in Firefox or Internet Explorer. You can move the cursor over each box to get text to display explaining the option and then click on it and it will work. On my Dell desk top PC, the icon graphics show up in Firefox as well as IE and Chrome.

Can you attach a screenshot?

Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot.
Make sure that you haven't enabled a High Contrast theme in the Windows/Mac Accessibility settings and that you allow pages to choose their colors in Firefox.

Real file names don't display in iPhoto

About 2 weeks ago I upgraded to the most recent version of iPhoto (5.x). This seems to have corrupted the library file as many photos then disappeared from their albums, though the albums were visible.
Rebuilt the library database. This brought the missing photos back.
However, now most of the titles of the photos in iPhoto display as the roll name + a number. Yet when I double click on the photos, and they open in Photoshop, Photoshop displays the correct name.
Anyone have any leads on resolving this?

Anyone have any leads on resolving this?<<<</div>
There's nothing to resolve. The Title and the File Name are different things. However, you can force the Title to match the File Name. Select a photo or photos and go to the Photos/Batch Change menu.

File Icons display issue

I am using File.icon property to get the icon bitmap image of
a file.
File Icons are not displayed when the operating system
display property setting is in 16-bit color mode or 24-bit color
mode. When the display property setting is changed to 32-bit color
mode file icons is displayed.
System Configuration:
Windows XP (SP2)
1 GB RAM
INTEL P4, 2.8 GHz Processor Speed.
AIR Runtime 1.1
Flash Player 9.0.115.
Can any one explain that is there any issue with Flash Player
or AIR runtime?

It sounds like it may be a bug, which you can report via
www.adobe.com/go/wish. Providing a sample would be helpful.

PSD files don't up-load because "maximum compatability" issues

I have a load of PSD files that don't load because they were saved in previous versions of PS when maximum compatability did not exist in preferences. The problem is they are mixed in with other files and Light Room does not identify the specific files.
When I eventually do locate one the fix is easy enough to resave with this setting.
Currently I am sorting all files by type, sorting out the PSD files, running an action to correct then upload. Really takes the fun out of this.
Any suggestions?

Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again...

Bug: Custom AIR Application icons on Mac OS X don't display after install

There are circumstances where custom AIR application icons don't display in certain Finder views after installation.
This is apparent when viewing the application in a docked folder popup. The icon renders as a blank with a sort of no entry slash across it. Another example where this occurs is in a Downloads folder in the Dock (if you immediately create an alias to the app in the your Downloads folder, and your Downloads folder is in the Dock).
In addition, the maximum icon size of 128x128 really not that large. I wish AIR applications could have larger icons, like real applications.

I've seen this occur with numerous applications (native OS X and AIR) and typically restarting the dock (rebooting or logout/login) fixes it for me. Doing a quick search on Google show's that it's a pretty common occurrence. Are you still seeing this occur after rebooting?
As for the large icon support, I would like to encourage you to vote for the following two feature requests!
Application Icon Size
512x512 Icon Support
Thanks,
Chris

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Extended file icon.

Whenever I save a .PSD file, the file icon is a white background with the Photoshop program icon on it, instead of the default blue photoshop file or .PSD file icon. Please tell me how I can fix this. Is this a bug or do I have to change something in the settings? I really want the original Photoshop CS6 File icon. Please help.

You can change the file icon by editing your file associations under Extras --> Folder Options --> File associations. Select the Photoshop image file type, change the icon. Just be aware that depending on your folder view options, Windows may still display an alternate icon at times e.g. in file dialogs...
