Thumbnail problem ... WHY ?

On FCP7 I keep losing thumbnails in the timeline and on clips in the browser. I know how to get them back by deleting 3 thumbnail cache files but does anyone know WHY this happens and how to prevent it?

When I save as a PSD file, I get this blue thumbnail every time. What happens when you save as JPEG?
PSE uses the system fonts. They should be in Control Panel>Fonts. Can you access the "missing" fonts in another application?

Also, when you access the type tool, highlight the font name, then use the keyboard arrow keys to scroll through the font list. Are the fonts displayed via this route?
Hatstead,
Are you having the same problem with the tiny icon inside the white paper too? Did you ever try to get that fixed?
Anyway, JPEG and PNG files show up fine, this is what JPEG looks like:
I just looked through my Fonts ( >Control Panel >Fonts) and 2 fonts that I used a lot, Monotype Corsiva and Balloonist (to name just a couple) are not there. Then, I opened my Editor and scrolled down through the font list and fonts are displayed ok, but those 2 are not in there either.
Before I sent my laptop to HP, I copied everything I had (Docs, pics, info, etc.) to a USB drive, then I had to delete everything. I did copy some fonts too, but only the ones I had downloaded plus a few that I had purchased, about 100 total. I had a little over 400 fonts in there! I thought that all fonts were inherent to Microsoft... appears that's not the case. *big sigh*
Anyway, I'd really like to have my blue PSE thumbnail back. If you or anyone else can help me solve this mystery I would really appreciate it.

Has the duplicate erroneous thumbnail problem been resolve in the current Elements software?

I have used both Elements and Lightroom in the past, but have dropped both because of the redundant thumbnails of the same photo when they are moved from one folder to another. Since the complete file only resides on one place other thumbnails are present but only serve to complicate finding the actual file.
I purchased a new Lightroom, but the problem still exists with the current software.
My questions regard the handling of files within Elements. I have 50,000 photos in my inventory and with a work flow that requires moving existing photos from one folder to another, I can not afford to generate erroneous thumbnails with each subsequent move.
Has Adobe addressed the duplicate and erroneous thumbnail problem in the current Elements software? Does the use of Bridge avoid this problem? Is Bridge available within Elements? Is Camera Raw available within Elements? What is the annual cost of Elements if procured thru Creative Cloud without access to the full Photoshop program?

Jerry,
I don't understand your problem. Moving files from within either Elements or Lightroom doesn't create redundant thumbnails.
There has been problems in older versions of Elements where the 'Folders' view was corrupted and did not show the real content of the folders.
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Folder_Location_view
If that's what you have experienced, the problem is solved since PSE11.
Without knowing exactly your workflow, it's difficult to understand your problem. Moving files from folder to folder require taking into account the possibility of files with the same name already existing in the destination folder. Do you get files renamed with a suffix in the destination folder ?
- Bridge is not available with Elements
- The camera raw version in Elements is limited to the 'basic' and 'detail' panels
- Elements is not available in the Cloud subscriptions.

Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

Punch in problem-Why does cycle mode activate and snap to somewhere else when I set up a punch?

Because whoever programmed it must be ********, I've dealt with this issue long enough. I've sent Apple feedback on this issue long ago and nothing has been done yet. The only work around is to try and remember that every time you double click in the punch line to hit the c button to turn it off before you start recording or you have to drag your punch line around all the time, what a pain in the ***.

Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

Thumbnails do not show up after importing clips into Premiere Elements 12 Organizer. I've tried right clicking on a clip and telling it to recreate the thumbnail but it doesn't work. I've tried refreshing and repairing the catalog. I've even started a new catalog and reimported the files. The system says it's creating thumbnails but they still do not show up. Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

listiak
That is one of those questions best answered by evaluating Elements Organizer13 with your specific files in your specific computer environment.
Each of the Elements Organizer versions often appears to carry along its own baggage.
One of the things that came up about Elements Organizer 13 thumbnails recently was a problem with files with MPEG2
video compression. The Adobe word on this was that this is only an Elements Organizer 13 tryout issue...supposed not to exist
in the purchased version.

Problem: Why does this only work for powers of 2?

I wrote this program to create a golf league schedule for, ideally, eight players. However I want it to be flexible enough to permit for other denominations, such as 10 or 12. When I run the program it works perfectly for any number that is a power of 2 (2,4,8,16,32,etc...) but it will not work for other even numbers such as 6,10, or 12. If anyone has any insights it would be most helpful.
*(This is my first post on this forum so if anything looks not quite right or if this post isn't worded exactly how it should be then I apologize in advance)*
Here's the three classes.

Ah, I have discovered the problem. The reason for the infinite loop was because of the resetting of the counter/index after every successful match entry back to (a - 1). This was causing matches to be put into weeks where they didn't belong, which caused the program to infinitely loop because it couldn't find an appropriate week to place it's next match. The only time the count should be reset back to zero is when a new player A is being processed or the last valid array index has been referenced before an out of bounds exception would be thrown. I'm still not entirely sure why this doesn't occur on powers of 2 but theh again I haven't put too much thought into it having solved the initial problem! :)
Anyways thanks for the input all who posted, much appreciated.
Happy programming!!!!

Photo fails to open when I click on a thumbnail. Why?

Many photos which are visible in a thumbnail - from an Event - will not open. Instead I get a black screen, on which is a black/grey exclamation mark. The date is visible but not the image. Why is this and what can I do?

That exclamation mark is an indication that iPhoto has broken the link/file path to the original file. If you're running iPhoto 9 or later dp the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

User-defined object problem,why can't I use?

as follows:

public String getNum()
return num;

System.out.println(U[i].getNum());
error:
java.lang.NullPointerException
why can't I use?please tell me why?thanks.
ps:in Test.java's comments can run./**/.

Please use code formatting tags in future! http://forum.java.sun.com/features.jsp#Formatting
It would be easy to find the problem yourself if you printed out a stack trace e.g.
public static void main(String args[])
try
UObject U=new UObject();
U.setNum("Squall");
System.out.println(U.getNum());
UObject[] U=new UObject[5];
for(int i=0;i<U.length;i++)
U.setNum(String.valueOf(i));
for(int i=0;i<U.length;i++)
System.out.println(U.getNum());
catch( Exception e )
e.printStackTrace()
}Tho code doesnt look lke it compiles to me!

Thumbnail problem

since my last update, I see on my thumbnails several times the same old picture.
When I click on it, the old picture dissapears andI can see the original ones. When I open full screen view, the pictures do not show at all. Anyone experienced this? How can I revert it?
since my last update, I see on my thumbnails several times the same old picture.
-version of iPhoto : Iphoto'11 version 9.1.5
- What version of the Operating System. Mac OS X version 10.6.8
- Details. What were you doing when theproblem arose? Appeared after last software update
- Did it ever work properly? Yes
- Are there error messages? No
- What steps have you tried already tosolve the issue. If I drag en drop the picture to desktop and delete it from Iphoto and then re-enter it in Iphoto by dragging it from the desktop into Iphoto the problem is solved. But I am talking about thousends of photos, so almost impossible to repeat this action for all these pictures
In full screen view of the thumbnails, the old picture dissapears and a blanc picture is seen, as you can see on the screenshot
Thanks for your expert help
JC

I have tried what you said, backed up with time capsule and relaunched iPhoto.
It says after a while "rebuilding library; 20179 versions restored" but than stops, nothing happens.... (even after 7 hours!)
I have tried to find back all my pictures on the time capsule, and in library>pictures>iPhoto i cannot find them!!! I only see the icon of iPhoto and it calculates 49,3 GB on disk but how can i get them back in iPhoto....
please help....
thanks
