Saving files, - icons stacking

hello,
Simple question, - When I download, and/or save a file to the desktop. They all stack on the bottom right corner of my screen (monitor). This never used to happen. The saved files always filled in unused areas, . . . is there a setting I could change to reverse that? -
thanks, . . .

Hi Simon,
thanks for replying, I tried that, the stacking problem was resolved, but icons cannot be rearranged and are frozen in place then. It's still a small mystery, I want to be able to move the icons around freely, and still have a download fall not on the corner of top of one another, . . . hmm, . . .

  • Issue with Saved File Icons

    Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble with the icons for saved files in Premiere CS6 and After Effects CS6.
    I've just recently made the transition from 5.5 to 6 and so far everything has been hunky dory. However, today I found that my system wouldn't recognise the saved files from Premiere, AE and Photoshop. So I right clicked on them and chose 'open with', found the correct programs and tried it that way. Photoshop worked fine, but Premiere and AE now have icons that, basically are a white square with a small 'PR' and 'AE' in the centre (same as the exe files). These icons do open up their corresponding projects, there is no issue with that, it's just a bit annoying. the only thing I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions and download some AE templates from Adobe.
    Anyone know of a way to reset the icons so they have their original look?
    Cheers
    John

    I did today was uninstall my CS 5.5 versions
    It's not a good idea to uninstall older versions after a newer version installed.  Things to tend to get messed up.  Always uninstall the old ones first.
    Try reinstalling CS6.

  • My illustrator CS3 saved file icon shows as a blank white square?

    This is really odd. I store all my AI files in one folder. When I first open the folder, the lovely orange AI icons representing each file all change to white squares (actually they're in portrait or landscape view depending on how the file was saved). If I then drag one of these white .ai files onto the desktop, the icon very briefly appears again then changes back to the white square. Same thing happens when I drag the file back into its folder. The files open and close normally, and save normally. If I do a 'get info' on them they show up as normal .ai files. It seems as if something is 'overriding' the icon. My old illustrator CS files all show the old CS icon. I know it's not an earth-shattering problem, but I'd really like to solve it. Can you help?

    Hi Simon,
    First, "Get Info" on your Illustrator application. If it's not named "Illustrator.app", add the ".app" to the name.
    If that doesn't solve it, it's probably be a LaunchServices issue. Rebuild your LaunchServices database, either with OnyX orLaunch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line:
    Code:
    <pre class="alt2" style="margin:0px; padding:3px; border:1px inset; width:640px; height:34px; overflow:auto">/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/\Frameworks/LaunchServi ces.framework/Support/lsregister \-kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user</pre>
    Then press return. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

  • Strange saved file icons are invisible

    When I save a project, there seems to be no icon in the finder. Only the name appears. If I click on it I can see a gray transparent square where the icon should be. Any ideas why?
    Cheers

    From the Finder menu View>View Options check show icon previews

  • How does the icon get created for a saved file

    In my program I allow saving files using JFileChooser and ActionListener.
    In the constructor of the main class which extends JFrame I also set an icon by saying:
    this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage());
    This does not only set an icon on the title bar and the minimized window, it also creates an icon on my saved files. However, the image quality for the icon on my saved files is bad, even though the image quality for the other icons is ok. The size of the icon image I am providing is close to the size of the icon image on my saved files.
    How did the icon get created for my saved files? Is it possible to improve the image quality?
    Thanks for looking at this!

    I just realized that
    this.setIconImage(new ImageIcon("image.jpg").getImage())
    did not create the icon for my saved files.
    So what did create it? I did not program it!
    However, I happen to have an icon file Ananya.ico where I have my java project. I use if for my installation file. Did Java use this icon?
    Please help! Thanks!

  • How to open saved files using 'read from text file' function

    Hi everyone, I am having a hard time trying to solve the this particular problem ( probably because I am a newb to lanbview ). Anyway , I am able to save the acquired waveforms by using the 'Write to text file' icon. I did manually modify the block diagram of the 'Write to text file' icon and create the correct number of connector so as to make my program work. But now I have no idea on how to modify the block diagram of the 'Read from text file' block diagram to make my program 'open' my saved waveforms. Or i do not have to modify anything from the block diagram of the 'Read from text file'? Can anyone teach/help me connect up? Do i need the build array on the "open" page?
    Here are some screenshots on part of my program  
    let me know if you guys would need more information / screenshots thank you!

    Ohmy, thanks altenbach. oh yeah i forgot about those sub VIs. will upload them now. Was rather demoralized after reading the comments and really struck me on how weak i'm at on labview really hope to get this done. But of course i have to study through and see how it works. Actually i am going to replace those 'signal generators sub vi' with ThoughtTechonology's sample code so i can obtain data waveforms real-time using Electrocardiography (ECG) ,Electromyography (EMG ) and Electroencephalography (EEG) hopefully i can find out how to connect the sample code.
    ( ps . cant connect it now unless my program is working otherwise labview will crash ) 
    ( p.s.s the encoder of my biofeedback trainer already acts as an DAQ so i wont need to place an DAQ assistant in my block diagram i suppose )
    The sample code of ThoughtTechnology is named as attachment.ashx.vi. too bad i cant use it and present it as my project

  • Problem Saving Files CS5

    After years of no problems I am suddenly having a problem saving files.  This started with CS4 a few months ago, and has continued with CS5.
    When I attempt to Save As... I get an error message:
         Could not save as "{location & filename}" because the file is already in use or was left open by another application.
    The only place the file could be considered "in use" or "left open" would be due to Bridge.
    I get this error message whether saving as jpg, psd or any other file type.  If I retry saving the file then it will usually save properly after several attempts.  But if I close Bridge then it will save the first time every time.  I get the same error whether saving as the original file name or with a new name.
    I have been using Bridge to preview and select the images I want to edit for a very long time.  But this problem didn't start showing up until a short time ago, so I wonder about a problem introduced with an update??    Those who use Bridge know that it remains running in the background while the image is processed through Camera RAW and PS.  There has never been a reason to close Bridge when working in PS and it is not very convenient to do so just to save a file.
    If anyone has a solution to this I would like to hear about it.
    Thanks,

    Hi Jimcarke,
    My problem is very similar. Just Upgraded to CS5 from CS4.
    Graphic files, no problem.  I can save 80Mb and 30 layered mixed graphic files, even after editing.
    No JPEG's in the stack though. Perhaps I'll have a look at that!
    With simple JPEG's at 1.9mb, after editing, then as soon as I enter 'Save As,' Bingo the great blank screen'
    Problem seems worse if I get as far as rotating the image, then everything disappears instantly.
    Customer services have suggested all the usual remedies and now I can't open a file or edit anything
    I'm back to the insufficient RAM issue.
    I've just 'given up' and back to CS4 again and will try to get some work done for the morning.
    All good fun and an interesting way to spend a very sunny Sunday afternoon. (GB)
    Regards
    John

  • Load files to stack with out file extention as part of layer name

    Ok so as the title says i'm trying to figure out how to modify the "Load Files to Stack..." script so that it doesn't put the file extention as part of the layer name. it makes it a pain to have to go through and remove it when dealing with a lot of layers. I'm using photoshop CS5 on Win 7.
    Also if possible a script that would make Comp Layers for each layer created when loading files to stack it's a bit much to ask but worth a shot

    If anyone is just looking to import files into stack without extension names here's what I did:
    1- Go to your adobe scripts folder:
    64 bit - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts\
    32 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts\
    2 - Copy and paste these 2 files somewhere other than in the adobe folder like the desktop (I had to due to permission restrictions when saving):
    Load Files into Stack.jsx
    Stack Scripts Only\CreateImageStack.jsx
    3 - Rename these files to
    Load Files into Stack - no ext.jsx
    CreateImageStack_noext.jsx
    4 - edit Load Files into Stack - no ext.jsx (I use notepad++) and save
    Line 16 - <name> Load Files into Stack (no extension) </name>
    Line 43 - $.evalFile(g_StackScriptFolderPath + "CreateImageStack_noext.jsx");
    5 - edit CreateImageStack_noext.jsx, insert this line into "line 411" (just above "app.activeDocument.activeLayer.name = this.fName;") and save
    Line 411 - this.fName = this.fName.replace(/(?:\.[^.]*$|$)/, '');
    6 - copy and paste these edited files back into your adobe ...\Presets\Scripts\ folder (overwrite folder), reload photoshop and you should now see in File > Scripts > Load Files into Stack (no extension) available!
    And for the lazy, here are the two files
    load_files_into_stack_no_ext.zip
    drop these in your photoshop scripts folder:
    64 bit - C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets\Scripts\
    32 bit - C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets\Scripts\
    Hopefully this helps someone! Why adobe just doesn't have this as the default is beyond me.

  • Modify Load Files into Stack.jsx

    I am new to Photoshop Scripting so I am sorry if this has already been answered, but I can't seem to find out the answer or figure this one out.   I am writing a script that is doing an INCLUDE using the Photoshop script Load Files into Stack.jsx.  This script seems to name the layers the Filename.  I would like to figure out how to modify this script to not include the file name in the layer and just put Layer 1, Layer 2.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    That may work, but I am not sure what to put into the script and where (sorry, yes I am new at this, this is my first attempt and Photoshop scripts).  Here is what I am doing and what I have coded so far.  I have created a droplet that would move files over into Photoshop do some reformating of the images and then when I get 4 images into Photoshop I am merging the open documents into a separt document and then kicking it back over to an action to do some more formatting with the combined document.  Here is the code I have so far. 
    var loadLayersFromScript = true;
    //@includepath "/C/Program Files/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS5.1 (64 Bit)/Presets/Scripts/"
    //@include "Load Files into Stack.jsx"
    var files = [];
    // declare local variables for close files
    var name = activeDocument.name;
    for(var d =0;d<app.documents.length;d++){
        try{
            files.push(app.documents[d].fullName.fsName);
        }catch(e){
            alert(localize('$$$/AdobePlugin/Exposuremerge/Mustsave=Documents must be saved before they can be merged'));
    if( d > 3 ){
    loadLayers.intoStack(files,true);
    // close documents except Untitled document
    while (documents.length > 1) {
      for (var i = 0; i < documents.length; i++) {
    // close all documents except the active document
      if  (documents[i].name != "Untitled1") {
                  documents[i].close(SaveOptions.DONOTSAVECHANGES);
    doAction("Resize Canvas", "Finish Document");
    The reason I need the Layers to not be names is because the document names change and I can not get the actions to work with the differences in the Layer Names when the new files come in. 
    Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.   

  • File icons not displaying in dock folders

    I'm having trouble seeing File icons in the folders added to the dock in Lion. For example I am used to seeing a file icon that isa preview of the file e.g. for a pdf the icon would show the content of that pdf. For many files (but not all) I just see a black box with a white dashed line around it (see image).Eventually these icons may refresh and display properly and if I open the folder in finder the icon is correct but not in stacks. It's not a file type specific issue because in the attached image some jpegs are displaying other are not. Any advice?

    Solved.
    Reset the p-ram.

  • Indesign File Icon has changed to generic looking icon

    I just upgraded to Adobe Indesign CC and now all of my file icons have turned into a white, generic-looking icon.  Can anyone tell me how to get the icon to look like the Indesign icon again?  Thanks in advance.
    David

    I have a similar question.  We installed ID CS6 a few weeks ago, and when looking at files, I could determine which version of ID to open the files in by the different icons for CS4 and CS6.  Overnight, all of my icons have changed to a white box with a purple/pink square with ID in the middle, no matter which version the files were saved in.  Because we have to proofread any documents that move from CS4 to CS6 before using them (and don't have the time to do that with each document), it was very helpful to know which version to open the file in before opening it and finding that it was opened with the wrong version and having to start over again.  We are on Windows 7 PCs.  Any help you could give us would be appreciated.  We still have both versions of ID on our PCs.  Here is a screen shot that might help:

  • No extenson of saved file

    What am I doing wrongly? I've tried to save a certain set of edited photos (cropped, sharpened, enhanced, brightened, etc.) but they are not saving in proper format. I click on 'save as" choose format as 'jpg" when I go to find the photo, it's icon is a plain white page with no file extension. How can I rescue these faulty saves?

    You can rescue the previously saved files by using Windows Explorer to rename them, giving them a JPG extension.

  • Illustrator cc does save file icon

    Small issue, but when saving a file, it will not save the file icon to show the file type (in this case a illustrator file).

    I attached an example.
    As you can see, the illustrator icon is missing. CS6 illustrator icons show up just fine. Create PDF editable file box is unchecked.

  • How to revert to the default file icon for Illustrator CS4

    Hey everyone,
    It has been a few months now and I've searched most forums on how to fix this issue, but sadly, It seems the problem isn't that common. I'm using a Windows 7 machine and have installed the Adobe Master CS4 suite.
    The problem is that I can't seem to revert the illustrator file icon (how .ai files appear in the explorer) back to its original image. The image below shows you what the .ai files look like in my computer. I was hoping if there's someone who could help rectify this issue.
    Much thanks!
    Var
    p.s. I've tried the default file association tool, and have also tried switching back and forth between .ai's default program, but I still get this ugly file icon.

    This is what an Illie file icon normally looks like.
    I'm using CS3 on a Mac.
    If I understand you right you want to be able to see a thumbnail og the file's content.
    As long as you have saved your file with pdf compatability you will be able to see such a thumbnail in the Finder when you have your Finder window set as Columns and click on the file's icon. You will also see a thumbnail if you use Bridge.
    However saving Illie files with pdf compatability increases their weight enormously, so I usually don't unless there's a special reason for doing so.

  • Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7

    Hi, I ‘am a Graphic Designer and first time working in UAE Windows 7 is basically the only OS here. My PC is:
    HP Elite 7000
    Intel® Core™ i5 CPU 2.67GHz
    4GB RAM
    32-bit
    Now to the problem, not that knowledgeable in IT stuff so here goes:
    1. Problem occurring when opening and saving files in AI SC5 with Windows 7. (You will actually see a “Not Responding” word coming out while opening and saving files, whether small or large files)
    2. Locked layers occasionally are moved accidentally.(Working on multiple layers is normal so we need to lock it specially the once on top. But there are times I still manage to select locked layers)
    3. After typing and locking the text, pressing “V” for the arrow key shortcut is still added to the text that is locked. (After typing I lock the text layer with my mouse and Press “V” to activate the arrow key… yes the arrow key is activated but the text is still typing the actual keyboard pressed)
    I’ve only use the brand new PC and installer for a month now. Not sure if this is compatibility issues or something else I’m not aware of.
    Thanks in advance to people that will reply.
    Cheers!!!

    Well I’m still wondering if it is compatibility issues because I’m also having problem with Photoshop CS5. These 3 are all bought at the same time (PC, Illustrator and Photoshop installers). The problem I’m having in Photoshop is not that too important, every time I Ctrl+O to view files, all PSD are shown in white paper like icons, no preview, and saving as well.
    Or I just purchased a corrupted or pirated installers… Adobe updates are done every time I’m prompted.
