Quick Look file reading problems in mail.

Are there certain files that quick look will not open in mail?
I have sent myself pdf's, which opened ok, but a photo file, .jpg would not.
(New iPad user, be kind!)

Only those who have downloaded and are trying to export using the flip4mac trial version. If you want to see the 'rest of the story', pony up the cash for a full version.
Have fun.

No .dng Preview in Finder or Quick Look; File Dimensions 0x0.

Can see Canon .CR2 raw file preview in finder and quick look. Can see file dimensions.
Cannot see same files converted in Lightroom to DNGs. File dimensions listed as 0x0.
CAN see older DNG files processed exactly the same way. All files stored in an external WD 2TB drive. Just for fun dragged an old DNG file to that drive and the preview works fine.
OSX 10.9
Latest Adobe Camera Raw
Latest Adobe Lightroom
Rebooted, emptied caches, reindexed Spotlight, and on and on and on.
Apple bug? Adobe bug? Or another situation where they are blaming each other and the professionals relying on their products enjoy yet more frustration. Don't get me started on the color management fiasco of not so long ago...
Thanks!

Here is the situation: I use Spotlight to search, and
find a bunch of things I want to look at, including
some PDF files, which I click to open in Preview.
Now, I want to send some of these documents, or at
least one of them, as an email attachment using
Mail.app. What to do?
One way to do this is to use the "Mail PDF" item in the PDF Services group of items under the PDF "menu" in the Print Dialog. For multiple documents, this would mean bringing up the dialog ffor each document, so maybe that is not practical.
You could also create a workflow item using Automator. I am not that familiar with Automator, and you'll have much better luck in the Automator forum, but a quick glance shows an "Add Attachment to Front Message" action as part of Mail.
Hope this helps.

Question: Quick Look in Finder; problems with alpha channels

Hi
"Quick look" in Finder is great for quick presentations of a folders selected contents but it only works with images that contains no alpha channels or masks. Is there any way to work around this to display say PhotoShop documents with alpha channels? Or any plug-ins/applications that can help?
thanks.

This has been broken forever in OS X, and I don't know why, because it used to work just fine. I suspect the engineers did something to QuickTime that causes this problem, but it has been borked for so long I don't remember when the ability to correctly display files went wrong. I just remember that once upon a time all sorts of things from Apple worked correctly in displaying such files, but pretty much nothing does now. This includes the Finder, Preview, QuickLook, and various third-party image browsers that use Apple's own system level image handling abilities, such as VitaminSee or CocoaViewX. When I need to actually see what's there, I browse with Adobe's Bridge.

Simple File Reading problem

hi guys,
i have a GUI that executes a certain program based on user inputs. In order to execute the program, the GUI has to edit a text file with a single line in it. the line is provided by user thru GUI. the executable program uses this text file as input, call it input.txt. When I run the program once, everything works fine. But if i use the same GUI to run the program again (without closing the GUI window) with different user input, the program does not run. I check input.txt and I find that the GUI was succesfully able to make the changes the user wanted. I use the simple readline method to read the file as follows:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("input.txt"));
String curStr = null;
while ((curStr = reader.readLine()) != null) {
String url = curStr.trim();
if (addPage(url))
blah
else
blah
}addPage(url) complains that the string url is null! Does anyone know what could be the problem.

You aren't executing that code.
It is impossible to enter the while-loop if curStr is
null, because the loop condition says not to. And
since curStr is not null, then curStr.trim() cannot be
null either.hmmmm .... the problem is that the print statements indicate that addPage is executed for sure!!! the addPage function does this:
if (url != null)
do something
return true;
return false;as far as adding more print statements is concerned I can't do that cuz I do not have access to certain source files needed for compiling this one. (I already have the pre-compiled version of this file).

Looking for read confirmation of mail like in outlook?

I would like to know when the recipiant reads sent mail.

Note that whether or not you will receive such a receipt depends entirely on the email application used by the recipient. Unlike proprietary message systems such as Microsoft Exchange, Internet email does not mandate that a client support return-receipt, so many email applications do not, and those that do often don't have it turned on.
So while you can set Mail to issue a return-receipt request, it's highly probable that you will not get such a receipt back even if the recipient of the message has indeed opened it. Hence it's rarely worth the bother. It's just as effective in most cases to just ask that the recipient reply to let you know he/she has received the message.
Regards.

File Reader problem

Hi,
I am using the following code to read from a text file but whenever the file is not empty i get a NullPointer Exception. May someone help plaease?
void readScores(Player [] playertable){
           i=0;
          try{
          FileReader filereader=new FileReader("HighScores.txt");
          BufferedReader buffread=new BufferedReader(filereader);
          boolean eof=false;
          while(!eof){
               String line=buffread.readLine();
               if(line==null){
                    eof=true;}
               else{
               StringTokenizer tokenizer=new StringTokenizer(line);
               playertable.name=tokenizer.nextToken();
               playertable[i].score=Integer.parseInt(tokenizer.nextToken());
               i++;}
          buffread.close();}}
          catch(IOException e){ System.out.println("Exception "+e.toString());}}

Your playertable probably doesn't contain any Players. Try this:
else{
playertable[i] = new Player(); // ADD THIS LINE
StringTokenizer tokenizer=new StringTokenizer(line);And then rearrange your braces so that the "close" is done outside the while loop.
And, the typical way to do this loop is without an "eof" flag:
String line;
while ((line=buffread.readLine()) != null)
   StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(line);
}

Quick Look Full Screen Issue from Desktop

I have an issue with quick looking files in full screen from a screen other than that which is occupied by the Finder.
Example, I have a pdf on my desktop, if I Quick Look it, it opens OK on all screens but if I try to go into full screeen from Quick Look it does not work unless I am on the same screen as the Finder.
On close inspection, this is because the Finder App options is set to 'This Desktop' (control-click on the Finder icon in the dock and choose Options). If I set it to 'None' then this issue cannot be replicated. Anyone think that this is an issue with Lion and Quick Look should not be written this way? This was initially confusing for me and I though that something was broken.

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

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!)

Mail 3.6 (on MacOS 10.5.7) doesn't display 'Save' and 'Quick Look' buttons

I have recently updated to MacOS 10.5.7 and discovered a strange glitch in viewing certain emails with attachments. For a small minority of emails with attachments, the 'paperclip' icon appears in the mail list, indicating the presence of an attachment, but neither the icon for the attachment nor the 'save' and 'quick look' buttons appear. Options to save the attachment or quick look the attachment under the File menu do work.
Clearly the attachment is there but Apple Mail 3.6 doesn't know how to indicate it. This inconsistency in the interface's feedback about attachments has been very irritating.
Remedies I have attempted thus far:
• Rebuilding the mail box (no change)
• Disabling all Mail extensions (bundles)
• Examining the raw mail code (nothing obvious wrong, but I am not an expert).
The problem is currently present for some Microsoft Word file attachments, but I have no clue if it is limited to just those attachments.
I will note the latest email with this failure to display attachments was sent by a colleague using Apple Mail on an iPod Touch, so I can't believe it is a mangled attachment. It is not limited to a single sender, so again, no reason to believe mangled attachments.
I would really appreciate any suggestions for how to fix this...

I disabled the mail extensions by removing them from the ~/Library/Mail/Bundles/ directory. I didn't think the mail extensions could get patched into Mail.app by any other means, but if you care to clarify I would appreciate it.

I installed the system update to 10.7.3. After re-booting, my mail file was missing from the dock. Looked in applications and the mail application is missing. Any thoughts?

Thanks Paul; but, taking your suggestion didn't solve the problem. As mail is part of the OS, the updates don't have the capacity to reinstall applications; so, I had to reinstall the OS. I now have my mail back (although it didn't appear on the dock--I had to go to applications and activate it and then put it back in the dock. Thanks again for trying.
