Thumbnail b/g request.

Is there a way to change the thumbnail image b/g default from white to grey/black similar to how Preview manages files? The reason I ask, is that white .png files default to a white b/g, and you I can't view them. I have to toggle between Bridge and Preview.
After creating a transparent layer and adding a white text layer on it, the saved file is completely white in Bridge. It happens also to a PSD file so it has nothing to do with PNG but all with the inability of Bridge not capable of showing a transparent layer as transparent. Opening the same layered file in Preview is showing only the text layer in a correct way.

Sorry for misreading the original post, I now see what you mean and after creating a transparent layer and adding a white text layer on it the saved file is completely white in Bridge. It happens also to a PSD file so it has nothing to do with PNG but all with the inability of Bridge not capable of showing a transparent layer as transparent. Opening the same layered file in Preview is showing only the text layer in a correct way.

JSP Thumbnail View

Hi All,
I'm working on a photo gallery application in JSP and have encountered a problem trying to create thumbnails from large photos.
Basically I'm trying to create thumbnail images on the fly(image file
should not save to the hard disk) to serve up to the users via the JSP
script.
Is it possible to do in jsp(with html)?
Does anybody has idea or source? Please let me know.
Thanks in Advance,
V. Prasath

possible to do in jsp(with html)?Of course it's possible. But when you state 'jsp(with html)' I'm concerned about how you perceive JSPs. Remember JSPs are server side components, they generate the HTML that makes up the final page that is rendered by the browser. Also, it is recommended to use JSPs as a 'View' (MVC architecture) only and not perform any business logic processing in a JSP. Use a servlet for that.
Basically I'm trying to create thumbnail images on the fly(image file
should not save to the hard disk) to serve up to the users via the JSP
script. I dunno if this is a good idea. You'll be processing the original image to create a thumbnail for every request and then keeping it in memory while the request is being served. Seems pretty inefficient to me, especially once the number of requests and number of images ramps up (I'm thinking of a page with thumbnails of many images, kinda like the Google Image search results page). Unless you plan to have a cache. That'll save you processing, but in which case you still need to consider memory requirements.

How to retrieve iPhoto 6/OS 10.4 thumbnails that all disappeared during or after thumbnail rebuild requested by the software?

While working in iPhoto, I received a request to rebuild thumbnails and clicked "yes."
At some point (I was coming and going from the project and may have closed down and thenr re-opened iPhoto, but I don't recall), the thumbnails disappeared. In the meantime, I had emptied the IPhoto trash.
All the photos still seem to be there. I closed and opened iPhoto a couple of times and then also restarted the machine. I can scroll through the photos but cannot figure out how to call up the thumbnails, and I gather from other discussions that perhaps I should try to rebuilid library.
Is that the only option?
If I try to rebuild the library, how do I back it up?
Many thanks,
S.

If you find you can't rebuild the library with iPhoto you may have to rebuild it with iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Sending thumbnail of images to client on request using servlet/jsp

hi
can anybody tell me how can we send thumbnail of more than one image to client using servlet or jsp just the way we thumbnail of images in google

Then create a servlet which uses Java 2D API to rezise the image and writes it to the outputstream of the response. Call that servlet in the <img> tag along with an unique request parameter identifying the image.

Feature Request: Group episodes of a show in thumbnail view

So I've bought a couple episodes of Battlestar Galactica from the iTunes Music Store, and I've been busily converting episodes of Robotech from DVD to mp4 files in my library. I like to view video files in the shiny "thumbnail" view (or whatever it's called). One complaint I have about this though is that if you have lots of episodes of a show, what you end up with is a very looooong display of the same cover. I think it would be rather cool if iTunes would consolidate all of the episodes of a show into a single icon in the list, by season. So instead of showing 13 episodes of Battlestar Galactica, it would show just 1 icon for Season 1. The icon would ideally look like a stack of DVDs. Clicking on the icon would then filter the window to show all of the episodes for that season (but it would not show other videos in your library). Hopefully I've explained this sufficiently.
Also, I think rating should be displayed in the thumbnail view.
Whaddya think?

Already did that. I posted it here as well in the irrational hope that maybe if others thought it was a good idea, and if somebody from the Apple team happened to come across it, it might stand a better chance of seeing the light of day. One can dream right?
BTW, they should also change that form to "Give Feedback" rather than "Request Music". The link in iTunes to provide feedback goes there, and the page title seems a bit misleading, IMO.

Image preview (thumbnail) help request

I'm a recent convert from PC to the new imac *LOVE IT!* However, I'm very accustomed to the beautiful little option in windows to preview thumbnails of image files within their folders, WITHOUT opening them in a program to view them... this does not seem possible in OSX. Is there another program I can get to help with this... er something. I'm a digital artist, and I have MANY resources files (i.e. textures, vector files, etc.). I need to be able to preview what they are without having to open 8,000 images in another program just to find the ONE that I need.
* iphoto is NOT the answer to this. It does not read my .psd or .ai files properly to preview. *
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN!
Thanks,
Charli

Sorry to tag in, but I have wreid question hope you can help:
This is post on this forums on Oct-05-2007, but nobody since has any suggestion.
I have the following:
A. MBP is Intel base Core 2 Due.
B. All the software version are the most updated.
C. Canon IDsMKII, with all Canon software up to date on July-2007.
D. PS3, il3.
E. No other image program.
My old iMac is ok to copy Canon Raw file directly from the CF card and have correct thumbnail orientation. But not now anymore!
Before Aug 2007, not exact date, I import, download or copy from the CF card with following method to my new MBP:
1. Copy direct from the CF card, which don't have the correct orientation thumdnail.
2. So I use Canon's CameraWindow to import the RAW file, which can creata correct orientation thumbnail. Also have a very tiny preview icon in the colume list.
3. But this couple days all the Raw file for JPG that I put in the MBP only have landscape thumbnail. The previous import file still OK with correct thumbnail orientation.
4. For JPG, I need to open and save by PS3 without modify then it will have correct orientation thumbnail. But no luck for Raw file.
I tried to re-boot the MBP with hold down the apple + control + P + R as suggested by Apple to clear up whatever in the memory. But no luck.
However, any file that I stored in NAS that was copied previously with correct orientation thumbnail will have the following effect:
1. I copy them back from NAS to MBP's desktop then the thumbnail will become landscape.
2. If I move them from the desktop to a folder, then the thumbnail will back to their correct orientation. Then I move it back to desktop, it shows correct.
So I think, somehow the update OS 10.4... do not read the data from the Raw file.
Any comment.
MBP Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Feature request : color fill vector mask thumbnails in layers panel

I find that the color fill vector mask previews within the layers panel are not as helpful as they were in CS5. Having the vector path along side the color swatch worked better.

You should know that others have requested this, starting with the public beta. I happen to agree with you on this, showing the color and shape separately was more useful. But it must have been difficult for new users to understand or something.
There's a known bug that causes the shape icon to be hidden sometimes behind the little overlay. Adobe is looking into fixing that, and with some luck in an update we'll see the shapes become more visible, but of course this doesn't help with the shape of things like thin lines that you can't see at that scale, and complex coloring (e.g., gradient fills) doesn't show at all.
It would be great if they'd offer an option to display an additional color icon - if not in the Layers panel then in the Properties panel!
Oh, and I suppose it should be pointed out that fill layers with PIxel masks (vs. shapes, which are fill layers with vector masks) still look the old way. I don't know whose idea this was, but it seems a little half-baked.
Unfortunately, Adobe does not have a habit of changing functionality in any significant way after release. I think we're stuck with what we have, save for maybe that bug fix I mentioned.

In Pages 5, why are page thumbnails different sizes?

So I'm using 5. And I must say I think it's brilliantly done after a long period of ******** about it. I guess I'm not asking of it anything it doesn't provide and what it does it does very well - though I'm puzzled by the behavior of selecting text via the keyboard.
Anyhow, that's not my question. I'm working with a long text document. I notice that as I work the page thumbnails become different sizes. It's subtle but it's clearly intentional. I reckon it's trying to tell me something but I don't know what. Haven't been able to find any info in the manual and was wondering if any of you clever people here might know. Thanks.

This is what I meant about how rude you are though. Your answer DOESN'T EXPLAIN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOUR myself or the other person were reporting. The only assumption that I can make is that you posted here for the sole purpose of implying that we are both mistaken or stupid.
How is this helpful at all?
How do you have 32,485 points when you are obviously more concerned with insulting people than helping them out? It puts the lie to the whole idea of "Apple Support Communities."
Also, I specifically informed you that your comments were insulting and unhelpful and politely requested you not post on this thread anymore or at least until you had some kind of actual information, yet here you are. Posting again, with no content other than the implied insult.
I'm not stupid. I know what a section break is, I know what a page break is. I'm a writer who has used innumerable word processing programs over the years and have been an IT worker for 10 years now.
I have a Pages document. It has no (or only one depending on your point of view), section(s). It has page breaks only. The pagination is set to start at "1" on the first page and proceed normally to the end of the document (300 or so pages). I am using Pages 5.5.2 on a brand new iMac. I have NONE of the previous or older versions/types of Pages on my computer.
The pages thumbnails on the side, do actually CHANGE SIZE randomly as I am editing the document. These differing sizes are NOT CORRELATED WITH THE BEGINNING OR ENDING OF SECTIONS. These size changes are also NOT CORRELATED WITH THE PAGE BREAKS (in case you were about to argue the similarity of page breaks and section breaks). As I work through the document and scroll up and down editing here or there, the size of the thumbnails RANDOMLY CHANGE SIZE. Sometimes this is correlated with me working on a section, sometimes I can work on a section and no change happens at all. The thumbnails that change size often change back again when I scroll back to them later on.
So please ... Try to act like a decent human being and either help out, or go away. STOP POSTING THAT WE ARE WRONG, when you DON'T in fact know we are wrong. STOP INSULTING ME by assuming I am stupid.
Why are you even here if you don't want to actually HELP anyone?
To anyone else reading this: I am having a real bad time with this fellow who is just the most insulting person I have met for a while, however many of my posts about him are being deleted. If anyone knows (including the mods of this forum) of the proper way to REPORT or get rid of a troll/abuser like him on Apple Support Communities or a place to report his behaviour, please let me know.

Not seeing a DataType.ICON request when browsing with Adobe Bridge?

Hi All,
I have followed the instructions in the "Customizing the UI->Displaying Thumbnails" section of the Adobe Drive SDK documents, but I have a problem. When I browse through my drive with Adobe Bridge, I am not getting the expected request for DataType.ICON for any of my items; when I call item.getDataTypes() from my
IGetAssetsHandler, I only see the DataTypes [BASIC, ASSET_PROPERTY].
Any ideas as to why this might be is happening?

In your ConnectHandler implementation, add the following capability:
capabilities.add(Capability.READ_XMP_METADATA);
I spent a week to figure it out.

Some thumbnails do not show up in organizer

I have created a catalog with all my photos. There is a folder listing at the left of the screen. Some of the files in those folders do not appear in the thumbnails. They are all jpg files. If i try to import the files that are missing I am told they are already in the catalog. Still cant see them. I am also having trouble navigating the forums. New to this.

If I understand this correctly, you are reporting that you have images in your Featured News' target frames and some of those photos do not show up in the published site.
If so, I would like you to confirm if the widget works fine in Preview within Muse? Are the images missing in all browsers, even after clearing the browser cache? Can you provide a link to a published site? If required I may also request your source Muse file to investigate further.
Thanks,
Vikas

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.

The following server error message comes up "The request (CalDAVAccountRefreshQueueableOperation) for account “iCloud” failed." Been to Apple Store - no luck instore, or with Super genius over the phone when with genius in store, taking data in real time via ethernet!
I had to do a full wipe of my system because of time machine back up issues 2 weeks ago, and the error has only occured at some point since then. I only did a drag and drop of my user account folders/files into an External HDD rather than a copy of my user account (advised by the staff in store at Apple to do this) and when reimported, the Mail folders are all present but each message is in a sub-sub-sub folder that is numerically named. I do not have a mirror image of the hard disk prior to the wipe, only a time machine back up from 2 weeks prior to it being done. I am uncertain if this reinstall has caused the issue.
I am not happy to upgrade the software in my iPhone until I have the calendars working. I have purchased Mountain Lion, but again am concerned about upgrading until the issues are sorted.
I have tried the other solutions on here with no luck. HELP please.
Many Thanks.

Progress Update.
I made a back of what existing phtos and Videos I had on my Iplhone. I used Image capture to do this making an entire back up of photos and videoa that were still intact on the phone.
Image capture is god for this purpose, as it does exactly what you ask it to do without applying any rules or squishing the files back into iphote (which might also be corupted)
Image capture wil do the basic function of retriving the contents of the phone and save them as native files on your hard drive.
Once I did this I erased my iphone, and re intitialised it restoring an older back up from icloud.
As the retore was happneing - I did retreive the missing files that cuased the intial beviour as above, and I could play the videos that were missing in the above scenerio. The wierd ting was however that even though the source files were now back on the device, the thumbnail previews were missing. Where I ahd balck thumb nails for server portions of the resotred content.
I then went to bed as the restore is a long process. When I woke up the library had library had cleaned itself up. Mysteriously the prcess had deleted the files missing the their thumbnails.
This is very perculiar and bad behavior.
I am now repeating the process, and will attempt to download the missing content as it is restored and prior to the phone trying to fix itself.
Here are the lessons learned.
DO NOT rely on Photo Stream to keep back ups and synchornise videos from you IOS device. IT DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS CAPBILITY
DO NOT rely on iCloud Back Up alone - always fd an occassional iTunes back up or more reliably still always take a back up of photos and video files using Image Capture to be doubly sure that you a have backd up any content.
DO THIS NOW - dont wait to loose your phone ofr have your phone repaired by replacement at the apple Store. (I did both :-(

Aperture not building thumbnails

Having a problem right now with generating thumbnails in Aperture 3.5.1. Originally had another issue with iMovie seeing very few movies in my Aperture library. I was able to import all files from all cameras into iMovie, and can see them if I import a sampling of them into another library. Apple support suggested I rebuild my library, which revealed a few more, but still less than 5% of the total.
Apple then suggested I create a new library and import my existing library. I was watching the progress bar near the end when Aperture crashed at completion. I repaired the library and it began building thumbnails. The process has been slow, with Aperture running at 100% CPU (one core--single thread?) and very low I/O on the disk.
The status freezes on one image when Aperture processes roughly 1000 thumbnails. It says "Generating Thumbnails for [image]" "35,323 Remaining". At first I thought Aperture may still be processing in the background, seeing how Aperture's CPU utilization remained in the 100% range and disk usage continued. But when I quit Aperture and restart, it shows barely more progress than what was indicated in the status before quitting Aperture. The particular images listed are fine, and the thumbnails are generated when Aperture is launched.
At this point, Aperture will not quit cleanly, or with a Force Quit. Occasionally I've been able to use this suggestion:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3881
In other cases, Aperture seems to quit, but the entry remains in the Activity Monitor, with all accumulated stats, but 0% CPU. I'm unable to launch Aperture at this time and must restart. If I try to kill the process, the OS says it can't find it. Could this be a Mavericks eccentricity?
When restarting the OS and Aperture, thumbnail generation continues from where it left off, and processes another 1000 images or so. I did try repairing the database, and thumbnail generation continued, but eventually failed.
Occasionally, the com.apple.MediaLibraryService stops resonding in the Event Viewer. This had not always correlated with the frozen progress bar. In fact, thumbnails have continued to process when I've seen that hang in Event Viewer. But it always has meant I need to take Aperture down forcefully. Oddly, I do not have sharing previews enabled (set to never for now).
There are a few early articles, but they don't seem to offer any suggestions I have not tried, except to persist and restart Aperture each time this happens. Could take 2-3 weeks at this rate if I need to restart every time the progress bar stops. I have also tried clearing user and system cache a few times.
Apple second level support has been slow to respond, and I'm over 9 days into this process. Has anyone experienced anything similar, or can offer any suggestions?

Is it only your current Aperture library, that is causing this trouble?
Or do you see the same problem, when working with a new test library?
Although otherwise operationally sound, some video in my original library was not viewable in the Media Browser (including iMovie), even after a repair and rebuild.
I created a new, empty library and imported my original library. I described that process. Aside from the crash near the end, it appears to have all my assets. The project and image counts are the same.
The issues described about building thumbnails is in this new library. Upon importing my original library, the new library began generating all new thumbnails.
If the thumbnail generation is only hanging for your current Aperture library, you may have imported corrupted media - image files, videos that cannot be processed, sound files.
I know exactly what you're talking about, and this was my first assumption as well. As an Aperture 3 early adopter, I saw this issue countless times from failed imports. But I have examined over 8 files that it has apparently hung on. The thumbnails are fine! I look at the assets, directly, and they are in perfect condition. I expected to find corrupted TIFF files or bad thumbnails. Neither were true. If I request to generate it again, it works just fine.
Have you tried to remove the images from your Apeture library, that are shown in the message? Inspect them in the Finder and check the media type - jpeg, raw, video and check, if other Applications can open it.
Yes.
I do not have previews generated for nearly 2/3 of the images in my library, although I haven't seen reports about how this could be a problem.
UPDATE
Since my first post, I found a suggestion to regenerate all new thumbnails. Days of time lost, but I restarted. Still had a crash after about 1000 thumbnails. com.apple.qtserver or something was hung. Seemed only to launch occasionally after I restarted. Thought this might be responsible for generating thumbnails for video. So I did a search for all video files and let Aperture build these as I browsed through, page by page.
Since that time, Aperture has been building thumbnails for 10 hours, the longest run yet. Thumbnails are still generating VERY slowly, but I haven't seen a crash since.
Could it be the back and forth between images and video as it's generating thumbnails?

Is there a way to change the thumbnails for movies/videos?

This may be more of a Leopard question, but I'm wondering if there's a way to change the thumbnail that OSX and Front Row display of movie files. I think this feature is awesome but would love to have more control over it so I can pick a frame from the video that relevant to me. Imagine Front Row's menu for movies with a bunch of thumbnails that are title screens or your favorite scenes from your movie collection (rather than a random thumbnail that may or may not even be identifiable to that movie).
I've already included this request to Apple in a suggestion I sent along including a few other Front Row requests/suggestions I had including movie/video playlists, album art support over streaming/shared libraries, and music that doesn't stop playing when you return to the main menu.

It appears that "saving" doesn't impact the quality, but wraps the file up in the .mov format (size and quality appear to stay the same). It worked ("saving" instead of using the save as a reference movie seems to fix the starting playback from the poster-frame issue). However, now a new issue has come up... I like to save the files to DVD as the original .avi so they will play on our Philips DVD players. However, being wrapped up in .mov means I have to have two versions of the file, and if my HDD ever dies or fills up I'll have to always correct the poster frame, and save another copy from the .avi original. Kind of frustrating... I wish Front Row/Quick Time would let you easily change the thumbnail and not have to change the format, etc.
Thanks everyone for your help. Hopefully some of this feedback has helped others with similar questions.
