Quick Look and CS2 Files

When I'm in Cover Flow view, Illustrator and InDesign files have thumbnails. However, if I click on Quick Look, I just get a grainy blown-up view of the application icon. I work mainly in Illustrator and InDesign, so no Quick Looks of those files is a big disappointment.

This is kind of weird because I assumed Cover Flow utilized Quick Look to display the hires file icons. You can see the file icons are being rasterized and are not just bitmaps because even when Cover Flow is huge the icons look great.

Quick Tip of the Week: Take a Quick Look at the files in Trash

I ran this Quick Tip which was emailed to me today, but noticed that the Quick Look icon demonstrated isn't on my Toolbar, instead there's something called a Path icon, and Finder>View>Customise Toolbar is greyed out, so I do not appear to be able to change it. Quick Look works when I press the space bar, so it is on my iMac.
Does anybody know why Quick Look isn't on the Toolbar, and how to change the Path icon for Quick Look?

To open a Finder window, click a clear space on your Desktop. You'll see the word Finder top left in your screen. You can press command Command N on your keyboard or use your mouse and from the Menu Bar (top of screen) click File/New Finder Window.
Migration Assistant will transfer all your files and important settings for you.

Quick look for text files with non-registered extensions

It seems there was a way in 10.5 and 10.6 to register certain extensions with Quick Look to tell them how to preview a file. I have a lot of plain text files with different extensions that are not initially recognized by Quick Look. How do I hack the registry to tell Quick Look to preview a .cfg (or .aux, etc.) file as plain text?

Quick Look on Desktop Files Behavior

When I click my spacebar to invoke Quick Look for files (usually image files) that reside on the desktop, it takes three clicks minimum of the spacebar to open the file. Has anyone else seem this and have a fix?

No such problem here.

For The Experts: Quick Look and Cover Flow?

Hi
I have not been able to find the answer to my question anywhere on the internet. I thought that some of you experts out there may be able to help me.
I deal with thousands of files all the time that are essentially text files (i.e .txt). I have one problem though. They end with the extension .01 for Jan, .02 for Feb etc. If I rename the extension on one of these files to .txt, I can view them in Cover Flow and I can also see the contents by using Quick Look.
Unfortunately, I cannot rename the extensions on all these files to .txt, because they need to be sent to various departments and cannot be changed.
Does anyone know if it is possible to make Cover Flow and Quick Look think that these are text files?
Thanks...
Brian.

Hello. SetFile, just like any other console tool, can accept wildcards. For example:
Set the attribute of all files in the directory named mydocs:
<pre>
/Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT /Users/whuggy/mydocs/*
</pre>
You can also use the more powerful 'find' command: Find all files in your 'mydocs' directory that ends with '.01' and set them as a text file:
<pre>
find /Users/whuggy/mydocs -name "*.01" -exec /Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT {} ';'
</pre>
This means: find stuff inside mydocs directory whose name ends with ".01"; on each item you find execute the command /Developer/Tools/SetFile -t TEXT to it. The '{}' placeholder is substituted with the filepath of an item. And the ';' at the end designates the end of that command.

What are the functions of look and feel files?

Hi,
If some one can explain me what are individual role in look and feel of the ISA B2C application.
mainFS.jsp
main_inner.jsp
catalogFS.jsp
accountFS.jsp
refresherB2C.jsp
I want to know function of each files. If I change any file then where exactly I can see changes which I made.
Any help from any one highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Ashish

Hi,
If you get hold of the ISA Development and Extension guide there is a section highlighting which frames go where in the main application.
You can also see which .jsp pages are displayed where by adding the following parameter to the root URL of the application when you logon.
http://<host>:<port>/b2c/b2c/init.do?showmodulename=true
This will display the name of each jsp page in the frames on screen.
Also, surely you must have been asked to change certain aspects of the application - not specific files? You shouldn't just change the files and then "see what happens"...
Hope this helps,
Gareth.

Cover Flow, Quick Look and Finder icons ignore ICC color profiles

... and that really bothers me!
As a photographer, I tend to save photos with different color profiles embedded in them. Sometimes it's Adobe RGB, sometimes sRGB, sometimes Generic RGB (don't ask).
Aside from the apps that HAVE TO regard color profiles (Aperture, Photoshop etc), I was under the impression that color consistency is important throughout OS X. I am satisfied that Safari and Preview fully support color profiles, and that is why I am appalled that Cover Flow and Quick Look (my favorite feature in Leopard) do not! How do I know? It's in the plain eye sight.
Apple... FIX THIS, PLEASE!

If it's an issue that you feel needs their attention, I'd submit feedback to Apple directly, as they have no employees dedicated to reading these forums. Go to http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html/ to send your request.

Font Used For Quick Look Plain Text Files?

Hi,
Does anyone know what font Leopard uses when you Quick Look a plain text file? It's one that isn't anti-aliased. I can't seem to find it anywhere in my Font Book.

You could override that with code in userContent.css, either for all websites or for specific websites.

How do i get avi's to play in quick look and the preview bar?

I have a MBP and i was wondering if i can get finder/Quicklook to play AVI's im pretty sure my old MB did it find but my MBP wont?
Any ideas?
cheers,
Sam

Hello again
To the best of my knowledge, here is how it works. If you
have selected a preloader (meaning a SWF file and NOT a "Loading
screen" - there are two types) You will notice a progress indicator
of sorts. Normally you see it count up to 60% and the project
begins to play. What this is designed to accomplish is that the end
user would never encounter a wait for things to buffer, play a
little, wait, play a little, and so on.
So with a preloader, 60% of the project is received from the
server before the playhead is released and begins to play. The
thought behind this is that with a linear movie that plays from
start to finish, by the time the playhead would ever reach the end
of that 60% part, the remaining 40% will have downloaded and the
user will never encounter a pause.
As I understand it, the loading screen (static image) is used
when you insert a Captivate in a PDF. It serves as an indication
something is present and must be clicked to play it. I'm sure there
are other uses as well.
Cheers... Rick

Please! take a quick look and give me your opinion

I want to read signals from two tasks in order to make it possible to calibrate all sensors (tasks) indiviually. My program will always read to sensors in different combinations.
This is my way to read 2 tasks "simultaneously"...
Do you think it is a good idea or ... just bad..
It does work, I think...

Tanks,
Very helpful example.
However...
When I started to build my program I used the "multiple channels" DAQmx read block, And configured a voltage task that I used for all my sensors. To scale the measured signal into correct value (in for example Newton to show on the screen) a number of calculations were applied, depending on selected sensor.
This means that I have to do the calibration of the sensors outside of Labview. Until I found the possibility to calibrate each task (individually) in MAX... This is much easier because I don't have to bother about all the calibration values and compensations that I used before. This is the reason why I want to give each sensor its own task. And when each sensor is given its own task, and I always need to measure two sensors (two channels), this problem arise.
I can se 2 possible solutions... maybe.
1. Create a scale in MAX for each sensor instead, then I should be able to use the example in the link above -- think this would work, but I need to find the slope and offset value on my own as before.
2. If there is a way to read from global viritual channels instead of tasks, and if it is possible to connect 2 viritual channels independent to he task during operation -- Probably not.
Maybe a little confuising explanation...

Cover Flow or Quick Look and InDesign

I'm actually surprised I can't find this issue raised here in the past 2-3 years.... Both (REALLY GREAT) features work well with PDF, Photoshop or even my Illustrator (EPS) files, but files saved in InDesign (CS4 & CS5) show only the official icon, no preview...
...Am I missing something here?
...Thanks.

There's a misunderstanding here... I'm referring to open an InDesign document FROM WITHIN InDesign, not from the Finder menu....

Earlier i could zoom in to take a quick look at the files in a folder. I can not see the zooming feature now is it gone for good with a lion upgrade.

please help

Is this what you mean? The size will depend on the size of the window. I made it small to fit here.

Quick look, videos and relaunching Finder

After updating to Snow Leopard, I noticed one item right away: My scroll wheel no longer shuttled through the videos in quick look like it did before. Is there a fix, or reason for this?
Also, and more recently, I find myself having to relaunch the Finder if I use the arrow keys to change video files with the Quick Look window open.
And Finally, believe it or not, Quick Look shows .avi files better and faster than .mov and .mp4 (or other QT files). What's up with that.
Any ideas? Thanks.
iMac, 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 2.5Gig Ram. And everyhing is up to date.

Khurt,
Do all your other keyboard shortcuts work? I only ask because there are some settings you can change that effect all keyboard shortcuts. But heck just in case what I would do is open up System Preferences -> Keyboard & Mouse -> goto the Keyboard (tab) first and select Modifier Keys, and click Restore Defaults then goto the Keyboard Shortcuts (tab) Hit Restore Defaults here as well.
Now Try again if that doesn't work I won't you to remove the com.apple.QuickLookDaemon.plist you will find it in Macintosh HD -> Users -> YOUR USER -> Library -> Preferences, If you would prefer you can just move it to your desktop but believe me it is ok to delete it, it will be regenerated on restart, then after you have removed it I want you to not doing anything else but restart your computer.
Test to see if works, and come back with your results.
Hope that helps,
Weston

Quick Look not showing my PS5 files?

I am running the latest Mac OS X and PS5 Extended 12.0.1. I cannot see any of my files created with Photoshop in Mac's Quick Look. When I select a .psd (or .jpg) file created in PS5, and hit the space bar, Quick Look launches a window that is the dimensions of the file, but it is white. There is no image at all.
PS4 worked just fine. And my Finder thumbnails are fine as well.
I have 12 GB of RAM and loads of disk space on my Mac Pro tower, so that should not be an issue.
Anyone come across this?
JFHiggins

Yeah, certainly it could be a problem at Quick Look's end. That's my next Forum, lol. But even if that is the case, I'd imagine it isn't just MY Quick Look, and so I figured someone else would have had this issue.
No to the alpha channels question. If I create even a single-layer, single-color red 150x150 (for example) .psd file, it shows up as a 150x150 empty (white) thing in Quick Look.
