Quick look preview suggestion

Hello,
recently I discovered a very useful feature, if you activate quick look on a Garageband project you can see the content of the arrange window.
Is this also possible with Logic files?
Or is this a feature for upcoming Logic Versions?

Interesting - I wonder whether GB actually saves a screenshot in the song file, that Quicklook is just displaying, or whether the Quicklook GB support plugin actually parses the GB file. I suspect the former, for performance reasons.
If so, there's no reason why Logic couldn't have this feature as well in the future, but it doesn't do this currently as far as I know.

  • After 2013-002 security update quick look preview does not work with Office files

    As title, one of best feature of Snow leopard is definitively dead!!
    Office.qlGenerator is at the same path. How can i solve this bug??

    Hi Yeehat and thanks for your replay.
    Doing my MacBook Pro is a production machine i preferred to not waste more time to proof understand the issue  and try to solve it by a workaround.
    So i have reinstalled SL and it's last combo update, repaired system permission by installation disk. Now all works fine and have had no problem with applications and other settings. Magic: no loss of data or app settings. Now Office file quick look previews all files (old and new).
    Font Library also works well, except about a font that which it's probably corrupted (or not compatible even if it seems to be)
    At the moment i've not installed the last security update...I'm too afraid of having to start all over again :-)))
    First I'll try to read up best on solutions in case Quick Look do still the same issue.
    I know that it is not a "solution" but i was wasting too much job time. I think i will survive a few more weeks without it !!! :-)
    Thanks again

  • Quick Look / Preview issues

    When I used "Quick Look" on a pdf file in Snow Leopard, the document would fill the entire screen from let to right, making it very easy to read scrolling up and down.
    Using Quick Look in Lion, I always get the full document on the screen and can't find a way to blow it up quickly. Same thing in Preview.
    Didn't find the old Snow Leopard menu option "Scale large images to fit window" either.
    Any ideas? Thanks, C. 

    I agree with you all, Quick Look functionality has decreased.  Also when using Spotlight, it is good that now we can see the quick look by putting the mouse over the file, BUT, on Snow Leopard besides showing the list of files, when you put the mouse over the file, it will tell you the file's path, very useful when you have many files with the same name.  I miss that functionality too.
    Please people at Apple, add the "Scale large images to fit window" option for Quick Look and also add the file's path to the information that you get from Spotlight.
    I really think this two options will make Lion better than Snow Leopard (at least for the Quick Look functionality). Right now it is NOT better that the previous version.
    Hope some reads this and makes the suggestion to the appropiate people.

  • Problem with full screen Quick Look preview

    With multiple images selected, I used to be able to hold down Option-Spacebar to get full screen previews in Quick Look. Now with Mavericks, I only get the full screen look at the first image in the batch. The rest do not view full screen. Any ideas why this is happening?

    RobbyBoy wrote:
    But why would I have to keep holding the Option key after the initial Option-Spacebar to get the full screen previews? Shouldn't all the images I originally selected be full screen? It used to work this way in Mountain Lion. Maybe a bug in Mavericks?
    I guess we need to define "full screen" and "full size" so we're sure we're talking about the same thing.
    For me, full size means that the image is shown in its true pixel dimensions, and full screen means that QuickLook takes over the entire screen, displaying full size images on a black background. Further, images that are opened in full screen QuickLook can be zoomed in upon to fill up the screen either vertically or horizontally, depending on the image's format, in relation to my screen's dimensions.
    When I QuickLook images (one or more) in full screen by pressing option-space bar, the image (or, the first image in a group) appears full size on a black background that fills my screen.
    When I press the right arrow key, the next image in my selection opens full size on top of the same black background.
    When one of the images I have selected is open on the black background in full-screen QuickLook and I press and hold the option key, that image is zoomed to fill up the screen, and when I let go of the option key, the image zooms back out to its full size.
    Alternatively, and if this option is enabled in System Preferences > Accessibility > Zoom, I can hold the control key down and use scrolling gestures to zoom in and out of images open in full screen QuickLook.
    That is, as far as I know, QuickLook's expected behavior.

  • Quick Look PDF with vertical and horizontal pages

    Is there any way to make Quick Look preview a PDF file with vertical and horizontal pages without adding white padding and retaining the aspect ratio?
    Now, if I have a PDF with page 1 vertical and the other pages horizontal QL shows the latter also with the ratio of a vertical page and adds white padding at their top and bottom. You get the inverse output if the first page is horizontally oriented, but the rest are vertical.

    Word renders print jobs that change the orientation as separate print jobs. So, each print job becomes its own PDF.
    You can make an Automator workflow to combine PDFs. I’m not sure how it decides the order it combines them, so you’d have to experiment.
    This is built as an Application where you’d drop all of the PDFs onto the App icon and it will open the combined PDF where you can edit, name, and save.

  • Transparent background for Quick Look thumbnail

    I am writing a Quick Look plug-in and would like to generate a thumbnail with a transparent background.
    If I simply create a graphics context, flush it and exit, I see a solid white square for relevant file icons and Quick Look previews. I can find no way to clear the canvas to transparent - I can paint the contents of my thumbnail onto it just fine, but everything is composited to the white background.
    For example, the following implementation(ish) of GenerateThumbnailForURL results in solid white squares for thumbnails:
    CGContextRef context = QLThumbnailRequestCreateContext(
    thumbnail,
    CGSizeMake(512, 512), /* (For example) */
    false, /* Changing to 'true' for vector context makes no difference */
    NULL
    QLThumbnailRequestFlushContext(thumbnail, context);
    CFRelease(context);
    return noErr;
    Various combinations of CGContextClearRect with and without wrapping the call in CGContextBeginTransparencyLayer and CGContextEndTransparencyLayer, or trying to use CGContextFillRect having set a colour which is fully transparent, have all failed. The solid white background just shines through.
    Am I going about this the wrong way (e.g. should I instead try to generate an image with a mask and send this to Quick Look with, say, QLThumbnailRequestSetImage ?) or is there some Magic Call that I should be using?
    Thanks...

    This isn't nearly as intuitive as I think this should be.
    You're right, video is really hard.
    Looking back over your thread, it's entirely possible the movies have transparency, you're just not looking at it properly, which is, granted, confusing. But alpha channels are not fundamental to video editing, they're special types of clips and you need to learn how to create and use them.
    Motion is set by default to render to the Animation codec but may not be set to millions of colors +, the + sign is the alpha.
    And, no, sorry, it can't be explained in a simple step-by-step post. There are fifty or a hundred pages on alphas in the Motion documentation. Start with the explanation of the Animation codec.

  • Can't get Collada (.dae) Quick Look to work...

    Can't get Collada (.dae) Quick Look to work...
    It should work in SL, right?
    And Quick Look knows says it is "Digital Asset Exchange"...

    It depends on the DAE file. Just because the DAE file adheres to all the standards, it doesn't mean the Apple knows how to draw it. Conversely, Apple can render some DAE files that do not completely adhere to the standard.
    We actually used Quick Look/Preview to test our iPhone app NaviCAD (http://www.navicad.com) as a comparison when rendering KMZ files from the Google 3D Warehouse (http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse), so I can confidently say that Apple knows how to render most of these files (you have to rename the KMZ file to a ZIP file and extract the DAE file and its textures).
    And, as expected, Apple can render the canonical duck file, and some of other files from the COLLADA model bank (http://www.collada.org/owl/).

  • Previewing videos in Quick Look isn't the same in Snow Leopard.

    Does previewing videos on Quick Look in Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard no longer allows you to use the two finger gesture to move forward or backwards in the video, or is it just me?

    I can not do that either, then again, I never tried it in Leopard so... hope that helps

  • PDF images visible in Adobe but not Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look

    I have a PDF that I am inserting an ad into. I copy and paste the ad from one PDF into another. The problem I am having is when I have the final 10-page PDF with the ad inserted in it, you can open the 10-page PDF in adobe and the ad will be visible, but if you open it in Preview or using Mac Mail's Quick Look, the ad isn't there. When I open the original file with the ad in it (that I copied and pasted the ad from) in Quick Look or Preview, the ad appears. I need to know why the ad isn't showing up after it is copy and pasted into a new PDF?
    files can be viewed below or at this address:
    http://6letters.com/help/
    "lanai3_Grand Jewels-001Winning.pdf" is the document I am copying the ad from
    "lanai_122211.pdf" is the document I am pasting the ad into. The ad is on page 10. The ad is viewable in Adobe Acrobat but not in Preview or Mac Mail's Quick Look.
    I am using Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 (version 9.4.6) to do the copy/paste/save.
    I just clicked the above link and the ad doesn't show up online now either. It is supposed to be in the blank space on page 10.
    Any help much appreciated!!!!!!

    Hi,
    Acrobat 9 and older versions paste images as a stamp/comment which (that poorly functional) Preview cannot see, so you need to "flatten" the page if you want to see a pasted picture in Preview.
    (Preview, Mail and QuickLook shares the same rendering library)
    You can easily flatten one or several pages in a PDF using this free tools: http://abracadabrapdf.net/articles.php?lng=fr&pg=717

  • Color is Wrong in Preview / Quick Look when viewing photographs

    Hi All,
    I have a problem in that all my photos and image files look a lot more saturated in Leopard Preview / Quick Look, with much warmer hue, tint and color temp, then they do in either iPhoto, Aperture, Photoshop Elements, Safari (or Firefox) when uploaded to the Web and even in my Windows XP VM using the normal Explorer application. The difference is very visibly and is unacceptable when viewing / editing photos.
    To summarize, it seems the only place images look different, much more saturated with more warmer tint and hue, is in OS X Leopard Preview and Quick Look.
    - I have tried viewing and comparing on another Macbook Laptop and do not notice this problem, which leads me to believe that there is a problem with my system.
    - I have also tried creating another user account on my Mac and logging in to preview the images, but it makes no difference.
    Can someone please advise as to what I can do to fix the problem?
    Thanks,
    P

    I have noticed the same. Seems like a genuine bug in preview.
    Try this for laughs: Open up a picture in Preview and note its too warm colors. Make a screenshot, and view in preview next to the original image. The now magically warmer colors prove this is indeed a bug in preview.
    Lightroom, PS, Safari, Opera all show the images in question (JPG, embedded profile: sRGB IEC61966-2.1) consistently correctly, with preview being the only exception a lazy comparison could find.
    EDIT: This happens only on my external TFT. If I move both the Photoshop and the preview windows to the built-in screen, the Photoshop colors "snap" to look the same on both screens (and the same as preview on the built-in TFT).
    There seems to be a problem with preview always applying (correct) color correction for the built-in TFT regardless of whether the image is actually displayed there or on another display. This is probably also only noticeable if built-in TFT and external display have noticeably different color responses (and thus corrections), and only when their colors are corrected.
    This really is an annoying bug for photographers or other creative people (which Apple prides itself to cater to).

  • ICC profile support in Preview and Quick Look

    I'm a photographer and I've noticed that Quick Look and Preview do not appear to support ICC colour profiles, is this a bug? I hope so.
    JPEG images are over-saturated.

    I'm not a professional, only a hobbyist, so it took me a little longer, but I also have the impression that the new Preview ignores ICC profiles.
    I noticed it when moving images between my iBooks built-in and my external Eizo screen. Since the gamut of the second is much larger, images appear rather different on the two screens. In Tiger's Preview, this resulted in colors changing suddenly during the move, when the center of the image passed from one screen to the other. This effect is gone and yes, the images are over-saturated on the 'good' screen.
    Jethro555, could you find a solution to the problem?

  • 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!
    Jon

    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.

  • Document content do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

    The contents of all types of appleworks documents do not appear in finder preview, quick look or cover flow on both of my computers. The generic AWKS logo appears.
    Why does this happen and what can be done to correct this?
    I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

    AppleWorks 6 was written before OS X & long before Leopard & Quick Look. There hasn't even been an update since January 2004. The ability to create the image for Quick Look likely will never happen.

  • Documents do not render in finder preview, quick look or cover flow

    I have repaired permissions a number of times and have restarted the computer.

    I'm not sure Appleworks files are supported in any form of preview. Appleworks was killed long before any of the preview functions were developed, so I don't suppose its file types were included.
    Quicklook has a plugin architecture, so perhaps some programmer that likes Appleworks will create a plugin for it.

  • Word documents have a logo image imbedded in Preview & Quick Look

    System information:
    MacbookPro 17"
    2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM
    Snow Leopard OS X Ver. 10.6.2
    MS Word 2008 for Mac Ver. 12.2.3 (091001)
    Issue:
    I can see an image (a black and white logo that I recognize, not Apple or MS related) in certain document previews in Finder. I also see the image if I use Quick Look of the same documents. To my knowledge, I never inserted or embedded this image into the document. If I open the document, the image does not appear. I have tried using the various Views of the document to find and remove the image, but it does not appear in any View type, once opened. The image is a logo that a colleague of mine created, but I have never downloaded it and I have not e-mailed the document back and forth with him. If I copy/paste the text from the affected document to a new document, this seems to eliminate the image, but I am concerned that this may be malicious, that it may have come from using a networked drive at work.

    I have noticed the same. Seems like a genuine bug in preview.
