Reader opens by itself in xp thumbnail view

On my XP machine, if I have a PDF document in a folder set to thumbnail view, when it goes to render the thumbnail it will automatically open up the Reader program (9.3.4). Not the file, that just shows it's thumbnail, just the blank reader program. Any way to disable this? I Googled it, but couldn't find anything on it. Thanks.

It is likely that you have file associations messed up in Windows. If you double click a PDF in Explorer, does the file open in Reader or Photoshop? If the latter, you need to fix the file associations. Keep in mind that saving as a PDF from WORD is not the same as creating a PDF using Acrobat (which apparently do not have). For questions about Reader, you should go to the Reader forum in the future. Maybe my guess has answered your current problem.

Issues with using my iPhoto library on my external hard drive. Very slow to open and pictures disappear in thumbnail view.

I have recently transferred my iPhoto Library to my external hard drive (WD MyBook Live) and have some questions. Since I have done this and used the "alt + option" to select it as my default library I have been having some issues. When using the library on the external drive as my default drive it takes a very long time to load compared to when it was on my macbook's hard drive. Is this normal? Also, once it does load the thumbnails are only viewable when scrolling quickly through the photos and they are very blurry. However, if I were to select one randomly (because of this problem I have no way of knowing which one I'm selecting) it brings it up in the edit view and it is a crystal clear picture.
Is there a way to fix these issues? I'd love to be able to use the iPhoto Library off the external drive to free up space on my macbook but if it isn't going to work as streamlined as it would on my macbook hard drive. I have not yet deleted the original iPhoto Library from my macbook because I did not want to do so until I knew the new iPhoto library on the external drive was working properly. Does this make a difference?
Please help!

The problem lies with occasional dropouts that can corrupt the library's database files if they are being written to as the time of dropout. It's the nature of wireless networks. If you have a very strong signal throughout and are willing to take a chance then go for it.
But as for the speed, it must be iPhoto 11 and it's complexity causing the slowness. I had tried using a library on an EHD connected to my iMac from my laptop wirelessly with iPhoto 7 or 8 and it was pretty fast. I think it was 7 before faces and places came into being.
Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html to improve wireless performance, etc.

How to get thumbnail view in File-Open

When I go to File-Open I would like my directories to come up in thumbnail view right away, instead of having to click on the View icon and then on Thumbnails. Is there any way to make this view the default?
Thanks

No, I gave you bad advice -- relied on something I had heard without
checking it myself -- sorry. I've now done some checking, and there
doesn't appear to be any way to do what you want. What I do is open My
Pictures, which I've configured for Thumbnail View, and then drag and
drop into PSE.

Lots of useful help there,

When I open a new tab, I want to see a thumbnail view of few recent pages. How to set that?

My friend uses Google Chrome browser, and when he openes a new tab he can see on it a thumbnail view of 6 or 8 recent visited pages. Vith a simple click on each of them he can revisit that pages.
I do not want to change my default browser (Firefox) but want to have that option.

There are several add-ons that allow you to do this, such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/777/ New Tab Homepage] and [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2221/ NewTabURL].

Thumbnail view in open dialog

I am not sure if this is even possible, but it's worth a question...
Is there a way in a flex/air to open the "file open dialog" in thumbnail view? (it opens automatically in list view)
I have an application that needs to open images and it would look much better if it could open in thumbnail view so that the user can see what (s)he is selecting.

Did you ever figure this out? I too need to do this.

Since installing CS6, jpg thumbnails viewed in Bridge lack color depth and contrast. When opened in

Since installing CS6, jpg thumbnails viewed in Bridge lack color depth and contrast. When opened in Photoshop, the color and depth is normal. How can I correct the issue in Bridge? I have emptied my Cache and that has not corrected thed issue. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Unless using embedded thumbs, you need to set your ACR defaults, and make uncheck auto settings in preferences/camera raw.

Not possible. This is a file-specific setting, not an application-wide

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them in iPhoto full screen without having to open each one in preview?

Once I've burned a DVD by exporting photos so a pc can read them, is there a way to view them full screen on my Mac without having to open each one in preview?

You would have to import them to iPhoto, iPhoto cannot work with images that are not in its library.
You might try some of the other viewers out there.

Saving Jpeg crashes Finder in Thumbnail View Mode

Hi all.
Anyone have this happen to them?
My finder crashes and relaunches itself when I do the following:
Have a finder window open in thumbnail view mode, open a jpeg image in Photoshop, then resave it. It happens without fail EVERY time I do this.
I do not have the problem in list mode or that other mode (whatever it's called - the one that lets you see the subfolders).
I'm running Panther on a PowerMac G4 and have had this problem from day one. I just did a clean install a month ago and the same issue exists.
B.

Actually Onyx appears only "reset" the Spotlight index, it doesn't force it to reindex or anything else that I'm aware of.
I read up a bit more on Spotlight and tried to trash the index and associated files, hoping that it would reindex and all would be fine. However apon reboot it kicked back into it's old routine of cycling and eating up 99% of one of the CPUs.
I decided to finally just disable the spotlight feature completely using the DisableTigerFeatures program.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18182
Although I'm disappointed that I can't use Spotlight anymore (never used it much to begin with though) I can happy report that both my CPUs are mine again, my software and games are running snappier, my firewire hdd, iPod, and secondary SATA HDD not unmount and vertify just fine.
Sad that for months and months I basically allowed my G5 Dual Processsor to be crippled by a buggy (in my estimation) piece of software. Finally I feel like my computer is safe to work on and I'm enjoying it for the first time in quite awhile.
Thanks again Francine, had you not pointed my in the right direction I'd still be running a single processor machine that crashed all the time

Lost Thumbnail View of library suddenly!

I was transferring a photo that was misdated as a 2005 photo and when I went to look for it in the 2005 folder, I hit "organize" which usually brings me back to my preferred thumbnail view of all my shots in chronilogical order. Well, they are still in chron order from new to old but only full view is available. I have checked all the options on the toolbar, looked in preferences to see if there was an option to "view thumbnails". NOTHING. Any help?

Hi, Kristin. Your mistake was thinking it would be OK to move anything around inside your iPhoto Library folder. It isn't. Stay out of there at all times. Only iPhoto itself should ever arrange, rearrange, move, edit or rename anything inside that folder, as this quote from iPhoto Help indicates:
"Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto Library folder
If you move, delete, rename, or otherwise tamper with files or folders in the iPhoto Library folder, you may be unable to see your pictures in iPhoto."
This is a real annoyance, and it flies in the face of a core principle that all long-time Mac users take for granted: that they're in charge of where things are filed on their computers. But it's a fact, and you ignore it at your peril.
You may be able to regain access to your photo library by rebuilding it. To do so, hold down the Shift and Option keys while you open iPhoto, and click OK when you're asked if you want to rebuild the library.

Thumbnail view to Develop view... can I?

Hey all,
I must admit I am mystified by Lightroom's UI. But I am learning, slowly.
One thing I have not yet figured out is how to get efficiently from the thumbnail view to the edit ("Develop") views. So I am constantly switching. All day long I go:
1 - GO TO LIBRARY
2 - SELECT THUMBNAILS
3 - FIND THE IMAGE
4 - GO TO DEVELOP
5 - Do my thing (mainly crop and straighten)
6 - GO TO 1
This seems a lot of extra clicks. I would just like spend my time in one environment where I can do what I need, not constantly having to switch (twice for each image) from Library to Develop. Is there any way to do this? Is there a better workflow that I am missing?
I need the thumbnail view becasue I find the long ribbon useless. I come back with 400 pictures froma shoot and scrolling left and right in that ribbon is worse than useless: I get lost and it takes me more time that not doing it at all.
I am sure I am missing better ways to work. Any input appreciated.
Michael

Cmd/Ctrl+F11 opens the second display window, which can be configured to show a Grid view. Clicking on a thumbnail in the second window opens that photo into Develop module.

Thumbnail view crashing FCP -- Kona3 the problem?

For larger projects, running bins in thumbnail view crashes FCP.
Most of the time, I'm editing 6 to 8 min. stories for a news magazine format show. We shoot on Sony XDCAM, so usually 2 or 3 disks per project (roughly 44 mins of HD viddy per disk, with anywhere from 20 to 120 individual clips on the disk).
However, for our documentaries (either 26 mins or 56mins) we shoot between 30 to 45 disks full of content. When importing the disks into FCP7, we use a bin per disc, translating into an average of 80 clips per bin. Whenever a project is this big, I can only open 3 or so bins in thumbnail view. After that, the system crashes. Even if I only keep one bin open at a time, by that fourth bin, the system crashes.
We are using a KONA3 card configuration.
Anyone else seen this?

PROBLEM IDENTIFIED (NOT SOLVED):
I've had this problem with thumbnail images crashing FCP after opening bins for over a year now and when going back using footage from old projects it happens more frequently. I can open 2-4 bins before it will crash FCP completely.
TROUBLESHOOTING IN THE PAST:
- Dumped Prefs
- Re-installed FCP
- Formatted & Re-installed EVERYTHING (OSX included)
- Increased thumbnail cache size
- Created new projects & bins, etc.
CONCLUSION:
None of the above troubleshooting strategies worked. Increasing the thumbnail cache size may appear to work a little but problem persists with little improvement.
HOW I IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM:
Only recently have I been working with other formats aside from XDCAM. I've recently incorporated more ProRes files into my most recent project of T2i footage from the Canon DSLR camera. If I open a bin and display thumbnails of the ProRes video clips everything works without a problem. Loading thumbnail bins with the raw .mp4 files also works fine. Only loading XDCAM files will cause FCP to crash. The problem has nothing to do with the Kona card. If you read the posts carefully here and elsewhere you will see the common denominator is the XDCAM encoded video files being displayed as thumbnail icons.
I am using XDCAM EX files at 1080p 30fps. To further isolate this problem as something having to do with the XDCAM files, another user posted on another thread:
*"I am having similar issues with two separate projects. The only commonality between them is XDCam.*
*To possibly isolate it I reinstalled FCP on one system, and installed latest Blackmagic driver on the the same. Both systems are up to date visa vi OS, FCP, and QT.*
*Both still crash with the same regularity as described here."*
Apple, this problem has persisted for more than two years and is a major problem. Just search the forums including this one. Any further upgrades of Final Cut Studio or OS X are worthless until this problem is fixed. A brand new body and interior won't fix a car with a broken engine. Please help!! Please solve this issue with the XDCAM footage in FCP!
If anyone has any solutions or work arounds please notify me. I need it!

How to display the thumbnail view of the documents in Sharepoint Document Library

Is there a way that we can have the thumbnail view of the documents that are uploaded in SharePoint Document Library. We have thumbnail feature in Picture Library but can we have the same in Document Library too. Documents includes Words,Excel,PDF.
Any Suggestions Please

Hey Mike,
Good post, I'd be curious to see if anyone has used the GD Picture SDK with SharePoint, maybe there would be some sample code.
Hey Kukdai,
Developing your own solution would potentially provide a better way to accomplish your task, but before setting out on that long road you may want to try the simple customization, it's less time consuming and it will help gauge your customer's interest and
support.
Also, there is a wealth of open source code for SharePoint available on CodePlex, you might want to check that out as well. Here is the linK:
http://www.codeplex.com/
Also, here is an interesting project to consider for your task:

I hope that helps!

Thumbnail view is not availabe on fresh install -- kde 4.5 [SOLVED]

Hello,
I've just reinstalled kde4.5 as minimal desktop. Everthing works great except in desktop folder the image preview mode is not working. Only icon view is available.
Could anyone help me figuring out what could be wrong? Perhaps, I forgot to install something needed for this feature. Before I deleted my full blown kde install, this feature was available.
The interesting thing is that when I open the desktop folder in dolphin the thumbnail view works fine. Only the desktop folder displayed on the desktop that doesn't show thumbnails.
I've already searched the net but found no answer to the problem.
Thanks,
jmak

Ok, the problem is solved. I created a second folder view in "Home mode" rather than "Destop mode" and the thumbnails showed up.

Thumbnail view

How do you edit the background in thumbnail view? I can only get thumbnail view to show up on the iPad, but not in iBA itself.

Most templates are set up that the image inserted in the media placeholder on a chapter page automatically becomes the background when you can see the thumbnails for that chapter. As such, you need to make sure that the image you insert on the chapter is of good enough quality that it doesn't look pixellated when bigger (i.e. the background image).
Hope that helps.
