Thumbnail view/Icon association change in Windows 7 with CS4

I just put CS4 on a virgin Windows 7 build and I'm struggling with a couple of things...
1. How do I get Windows 7 to display the proper file association icons for image files? With XP it was easy to change an icon so that my JPG files uses the Photoshop JPG icon. But in 7 I have not been able to figure it out.
2. Thumbnail view with an image preview is not working. No matter what size I resize the icon in 7 I still get a big fat "PS" icon and not an image thumbnail. If there's a "switch" somewhere that I need to flip, I haven't been able to find it.
If anyone can shed some light on these issues, particularly #2, that would be great. I'm amazed at how much a hard case Windows 7 is with file associations and Photoshop CS4. I got BMP, JPG, PNG, and others to open with Photoshop but it did require a bit more effort. With the "default program" list, Photoshop isn't even mentioned and I had to hunt the executable down to tell Windows which application to use. What's amazing is Quicktime is listed as a "default program" but CS4 is not.

OK, sounds like you found the File Type Association.
As for the display, for some years, the old psicon.dll has been gone from Windows. For a few versions, one could just add it to Windows, but I do not believe that has worked since Vista. Instead, use Bridge, and not Windows Explorer.
As this has been an issue for years, it could well be that MS, or Adobe, will rewrite the psicon.dll to work with Win7, or that someone else will take up the challenge of doing so. Could already be out there, and I have just not heard of it.
Good luck,

Safari is missing the thumbnail view icon.

I just updated my iPad to iOS 5 and now Safari doesn't show the thumbnail view icon in either landscape or portrait?

Yes, we want what we already had (wizard of oz style)....it's not about how it is, it's how it was (and isn't now). I wished they'd spent more time on trying to get the app store and the iBooks store to remember where I was searching and not go back to page 1 after many, many pages!. Not waste their time on changing the whole kit and caboodle in a massive upgrade that gives us, original iPad/iPod users, something that we didn't want. What we had was fine...just needed a few tweaks and a few extras (maybe?)'not a copy of a computer screen...that is way bigger to view in any case!

Windows 7 with CS4 and PSD Icons

Hi,
I have Windows 7 64bit, Photoshop CS4 and Photoshop 7 (for back-up).
I know that Photoshop 7 allowed thumbnail previews on PSD's but that was taken out so CS4 is just a custom icon, but Windows 7 doesn't seem to really get what to do with either of them, and you can't force a certian icon on a certian file type like you could in XP because Microsoft basically got rid of the ability to do so now.
The attatched image shows two PSD's in the same folder, one with a defaul windows "unknown" file icon, but with photoshops logo on it to represent what it will open it with anyway, and the other has a preivew although it has never been opened in PS7 (both fully created in CS4, nothing else). For the sake of organisation, is there a way to either get them all to be previews of thumbnails or all one generic icon (preferably not the one it has made it from windows).
Thanks,
Ricky

Hi Ricky
In Windows Explorer (Windows 7) if you right click on a file icon a menu pops up offering your the choice under Open with->Choose Default Program. If you select Photoshop it will change the icon to the Photoshop and open the file.
I notice that the file extension is not showing in your example I suggest you turn this feature on just to make sure both files are .psd.
As to the thumbnails, I found Windows Explorer so inadequate, I bought a program call Directory Opus, I think you can get a free 30 day trial if you're interested at http://www.gpsoft.com.au/ it has many features left out of Windows Explorer including a really good thumbnail feature.
Good luck with it.

Unable to view camera RAW files on Windows 7 and CS4 - Have tried updates

All working OK until 8 days ago, then bridge just disappeared completely. Looked like it had opened but would disappear when I clicked on the icon. Re-installed, Bride now visable but unable to view .CR2 files in camrea RAW or in Photoshop, comes up as "unable to open". Have tried to install the 5.7 camera raw update, extract files, click on application, then photoshop opens and advises "invalid file type". Not sure what to do now and have a large number of weddin files slowly building up .... PLEASE HELP!!

When something works one day, but not the next, then something has changed. The task is to find out what that is.
Have you installed new hardware?
Have you installed new software?
Have you had any major updates installed?
Those are but a few things to ponder.
You might want to create a new System Restore Point (on a PC) for today, and then boot to Safe Mode, choosing System Restore, and choose a point, from at least 8 days before. Reboot, when prompted, and test. At the least, you have only lost a few minutes, as you can Restore to today's System Restore Point. The Mac has something called Time Machine, and I would think that it could do similar, but just do not know, as I am a PC-only guy.
Good luck,
Hunt

CR10 viewer : Error ODBC Access on Windows Vista with multi-JOIN

Post Author: Stephane
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi all,
I've got an error using a report in CR10 viewer on Windows Vista + Access 2000 :
"Echec de l'ouverture d'un jeu de lignes. Détails : 4200:[Microsoft][Pilote ODBC Microsoft Access] Erreur de syntaxe dans la clause FROM."
wich can be translate :
"4200:[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in FROM clause."
This error only appear on Vista + Access, not on Vista + SQL and not on XP + Access.
The SQL query of my report (see details below) contains lots of INNER JOIN and 2 LEFT OUTER JOIN. If I replace those 2 LEFT OUTER JOIN by 2 INNER JOIN, the reports displays (but is wrong).
Somebody knows this problem?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Stephane.

The airport icon (upper right portion of the screen) says I am connected to my airport; but, I don't get the icon on the Itunes window (rectangle with a triangle at the bottom of it) that allows me to select the stereo that is connected to my airport?

If the modem is also a router, either use the modem in bridge and run pppoe client on the TC.. that is assuming ADSL or similar eg vdsl. If it is cable service.. and the modem is a router, then bridge the TC.. go to internet page and select connect by ethernet and below that set connection sharing to bridge.
Please tell us more about the modem if the above gives you issues.

Can't dbl left click JPEG icon on desktop - to then open Bridge CS4

In CS3 I was able to dbl left click any JPEG icon on my desktop and it would open up Bridge (with view of my Desktop files). Now with CS4 I've set default "opens with" to Bridge CS4 and when I dbl left click on the icon nothing happens?!? Note that PSD files on my desktop have automatically changed to the new CS4 icon - and when I double left click on these PS CS4 opens up. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi bkbl?
Welcome to Apple Discussions
First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

How do I change my PDF files on my desktop back to the THUMBNAIL view & not the adobe icon?

How do I fix this problem ? When I turned on my laptop yesterday all my PDF files on my desktop have changed from the thumbnail view (which I need) to the adobe icon ? I don't know why it changed ? But I'm having major problems trying to change it back....!!! Can anyone help me please ??
I'm using a PC & I use Windows 7

Please don't post the same question mutliple times! I have deleted your duplicate post.
Have you tried a System Restore to a time before the change occurred?

HT2506 Change the Thumbnail view in Preview (Mac)

Hi everybody!
I am wondering if there is the chance to change the thumbnails view in order to display pdf pages on two or more columns, the same as in acrobat it is increasing or decreasing the size of the thumbnail window or zooming in/out in the same window.
Thank you for your support!
Best regards!

Minimally, are you aware that Artists view has an Artwork Size slider under the View Options menu item? These preferences stick with the application.
I mucked around for a while before I realized that View Options items change for each view. Still smallish in the Artists right column at maximum, but better than nothing, and I would have expected to expand the graphics view all the way up to a full window in Albums view, which doesn't seem possible.
Also, I noted there doesn't seem to be a way to view full size album art other than selecting the art icon of the currently song, up at the top. Still there under Get Info in the song record but I couldn't figure out how to view anything larger but through the icon at the top. Not a big deal overall, but I have occasionally opened multiple album art and tiled them to check details side by side.
Alsoalso, I thought I could put the album art full screen like an audio slide show and blot out the background, but that seems to have disappeared. Again, not that important to me, but odd.

PDF Thumbnail view in windows explorer

Hi guys, hope you can give me a hand! I`m about to lose my mind here.
I have 4 machines with adobe reader 8.1 installed and in those 4 machines I can see my pdf files as thumnails (they´re books, so I see the cover of each one of them). On my 5th computer not only have I adobe reader 8.1 installed but Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. But when I select thumbnail view in windows explorer it just does not work.
I`ve tried changing the default program to open pdf files but again all I see it´s a thumbnail alright but it only displays the adobe logo not the first page of the pdf file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Martin

This is a question for the Acrobat or Reader support forums, not here...

Sort order switches when changing from List to Thumbnail View

I can't seem to get the Thumbnail view to "lock" to the same sort order as the list view. I arrange by file name (or ingest date, or reverse media duration, or any of the other sortable metadata fields) in list view, but then when I click to the thumbnail view, the order seems to arbitrariliy change to some sort of preset. What's worse, it appears to be changing to something that's in a jumbled order.
This isn't a big deal if I only have 10 clips. If I have 100, or 1,000 clips though, they have to be in a sortable order for the thumbnail view to be of any use.
Thanks,
Eli

Hi,
Thanks for your post. Our current design doesn't support keeping order between list view and icon view. It would be good if you can drop that as a feature request / bug into the the forum.

AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer

Does anyone at Adobe think it might be a good idea to enable AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer again, uh, I mean, we're GRAPHICS DESIGNERS, and we, uh, need to browse IMAGE FILES in AI and PS. I know there are $19.95 third-party apps out there, but we're paying good money (thousands of $ over the next few decades) to get the BEST SOFTWARE ON EARTH, neh? I thought my brand new Windows 7 machine was bro-ken when all I saw was dumb-icons boo...

Lol. Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years. Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity. Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed. Then came Acrobat 9. And now "X". Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

Tumbnails replace with icons in thumbnail view

When looking at my collection of jpg's and tiff's the view has suddenly changed. Now, instead of seeing my thumbnails, I get a tiff or jpg icon. In column view when that file is displayed, the thumbnail is shown but when going back to thumbnail view in finder the image is back to a icon. However, images that have been edited or cropped with photoshop display correctly. And idea's. I have delete finder.plist but without any help.

Sorry for the waste of space but I solved my display problem. Thanks if you looked.

Windows folders and thumbnail views...

Hi there.
Is it possible to instruct Director (MX2004) to open a folder
residing on a
CD/DVD-ROM and ensure it's displayed in "thumbnail" view
(Windows)?
I was thinking something along the lines of utlising Buddy
API if at all
possible; if anybody out there could possibly let me know
either way it
would very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Mark.

Hi there Dave.
The thumbnail view is very important and is pretty much at
the heart of this
particular project - is it something that could easily be
switched on and
off at the registry level?
I'm fairly comfortable with the prospect of registy changes!
With respect to it being the registry - is it something that
can be acheived
at non-administrator level?
Many thanks and kind regards, Mark.

Is there a way to change the icon associated with icloud account?

Is there a way to change the icon associated with my iCloud account? It's currently a rose and i do not like it.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Are you referring to your iCloud account picture or your user picture?
It looks like you are referring to your user picture. To change it, open System Preferences > Users & Groups, press the picture box and choose the user picture you want from the ones that came by default. If you want to select a different picture stored on your Mac, drag that photo onto the picture box.
If you want to change your iCloud account picture, open http://www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID. Then, press your name at the top right of the site and press the user picture. If you put the cursor on the picture box, you will see a button at the top of the box to change your picture
