Thumbnail view in picture folders???

I don't use iPhoto, because I have entirely way too many pictures, so therefore I store them all in folders on my external hard drive. When I open a folder, all I see is a bunch of J-PEG files and the only way to view them is to select all and open with preview. Is there any way to get a thumbnal view of these images?

This works for me. In Finder open the folder you wish to view. Click in the finder toolbar the icon view. Now you should see icons in the window. Right click anywhere in the window. Pick *Show View Options*. When the *View Options* window opens choose *show Icon Preview*. This should make all the picture thumbnails change to a picture thumbnail.

Change Thumbnail View of Picture Library to Show Specific Fields

Hi
I am looking for an example to add other fields than Title and Name as in this thread but from other fields in my list ..
Thread
Can anyone supply me with an example ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Erik,
First of all, you should get item ID using F12 in Thumbnails view, then use JavaScript to retrieve information of list items. Then you could fill in the fields you would like. Here is the reference for retrieving method:

Modifying hover over information in thumbnail view in SharePoint 2013

I am looking for a solution to be able to change hover over information in thumbnail view of the picture library in SharePoint 2013 replacing the Name/Title caption with a different field ( in my case it is "Source ID").
Can any one help me with that?

Hi Paul,
please refer the thread
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/b8fdb57c-2a24-49ba-ae9d-905da3652ebf/modify-thumbnail-view-of-picture-library?forum=sharepointcustomizationlegacy
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\IMGLIB.JS
and saw that InsertItem called the CItem function/constructor, and that the Item object that it was creating had a Caption property. So I changed that property from "this.caption=baseName;" to "this.caption=titleStr;".
After restarting IIS and refreshing my page I was now looking at the Title field instead of the name field in the Thumbnails view of my Picture Library.
Anyway, thanks to all who contributed... i've been working on this problem for a long time and am glad to have finally solved it. Hopefully this post will be helpful to others.

Thumbnail View of Photos

I have added some photos into a file under my document library (I can switch them to a image folder if needed), and I want to be able to see a thumbnail preview of the image. I am having issues finding how to make the thumbnail view an option.
I am new to using Sharepoint and could really use the help!
Thank you!

Firstly use Picture library for uploading photos and then use the view -
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/work-with-photos-in-a-picture-library-HA102841687.aspx
There is a good discussion on this on this forum discussion- http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/b8fdb57c-2a24-49ba-ae9d-905da3652ebf/modify-thumbnail-view-of-picture-library
Alternatively use Asset library, which uses thumbnail view by default -

Adobe Illustrator thumbnail view in a Picture Library?

We are using Adobe Illustrator and we need to see the thumbnails in a picture library. All of the other images work, but not the AI files.
We got the 16x16 icons added for AI for the details view, but we haven't been able to figure out where the thumbnail's are generated from. Searching the internet hasn't worked yet, (must not have the right combination of search words), so I'm hoping
that someone here can offer some suggestions.
If anyone knows how to do this I would greatly appreciate hearing it.
Thanks.
Ted

Hi,
According to the description, I know the .al files generated by Adobe Illustrator cannot be displayed in thumbnail view in a SharePoint Picture Library. Please correct me if I misunderstand.

Problem with scrolling pictures in thumbnail view!!!

In thumbnail view, when I scroll over the key picture, other pictures come up that are pictures NOT from that event, but others. Anyone know why that is and how I fix it so that the correct pictures scroll?
For example, if I have 3 events, when i scroll over the key picture and ther other pictures that come up are those of events 1 and/or 2, along with some from even 3.
Any help would be appreciated

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

My images will not show in the Finder Pictures folders, but just display as jpeg thumbnails. I have to open each one to see what photo it is. This has just recently started to happen.

I made sure the 'Show Icon Preview' box was checked. This is about all I can do, really, Frank, as i don't know enough about the workings of these machines to start fiddling about.
Strangely the images show as previews in some folders, yet not in others, even though they come from the same sources (my camera and my phone).

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.

Lost thumbnail view in iPhoto Library

I've been working on a very large iMovie project which is not going so well and somehow I lost my thumbnail views next to the iPhoto Library Source. I have tried everything, and like when I click on "View" I cannot highlight "show thumbnails". I have researched topics and found one that talks about the Pictures Folder & what folders contain what, and nothing on how to get my thumbnails back. It is almost impossible to organize without them. Help please, I don't know what happened.
Thank You,
Marge

Marge,
In the view menu, "show thumbnails" is only an active option when you are in one of iPhoto's edit modes: it refers to the horizontal strip of thumbnails that can be shown (or hidden) across the top of the iPhoto window. When you are viewing your library or an album, it is normal for this option to be gray.
That being said, what do you see in the iPhoto window? Are any of your photos visible? Do you have blank gray squares? Have you tried using the slider in the bottom right of the window to change the size of the thumbnails (if this is all the way to the right you will only see one photo at a time).
Have you ever used the Finder to change anything in your iPhoto Library folder in any way? (This includes renaming and moving files or folders.) This causes big problems, so if you have, post back with some details and we'll try to help you repair the damage.
If iPhoto is acting quirky you can delete its preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Find it inside Home/ Library/ Preferences. Then when you launch iPhoto your preferences will be reset to their defaults, so you may need to reset them back to your liking.
One more thing to try is a database rebuild. Hold the Command and Option keys while launching iPhoto. Check the first 3 options and let it work. It can take a few minutes. This process allows iPhoto to recreate its database file, which can improve performance and stability if that file was causing problems.
Post back with some of the above info, and we'll go from there.

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.

Slideshow & Thumbnail views inconsistent

I updated to IPhoto 6.0.3. Next time I started, it recommended rebuilding the index. I had done this after previous upgrades with no ill effects. However, now the thumbnails for individual Libraries show incorrect file names for a number of the pictures and show pictures that were not previously in that Library. But if I run the slideshow, it shows only the pictures that I had placed in that Library and the proper file names. Also many of the pictures in the thumbnail view are now distorted. How can I fix this?

Old Toad,
Thank you for your assistance. Your solution worked perfectly. But for anyone else reading this, a few caveats are in order.
1) To delete the Data folder an the thumbnail files, you have to use the Finder.
2) If you have a very large Library (I had over 5,000 images) the process takes a VERY long time (over 12 hours for me).
3) The process also uses up an immense amount of hard disk space. I had to move some other large folders off the main drive to an external drive.
4) While the process completely restored the Library and all Folders, the sequencing in the Folders was lost. Not a big problem, that can be fixed fairly quickly.
I will use the IPLM to reduce the size of the main Library to reduce the possibility of future disasters. Thanks again for a great tip!

In Photoshop Express, cannot sort images in album by filename in thumbnail view (for slideshow)l.

In Photoshop Express, I want images to appear sorted by filename. In the "view as a table" it sorts fine. When I revert to the thumbnail view, the arrangement is random. The dropdown "show" list does not offer an option for showing by filename. If I select the"custom" option, it means I would need to sort 300 images by filename MANUALLY (!!!), a job that a computer does in milliseconds. Anyone with a solution? Thanks.

fwiw, with my images in the 'Folder Location' view the photos are in order by their Windows filename. That is the same order as the hardcopy album the photos came from. So I then created a PSE Album. I selected all my photos and moved them into that album. The order of the pictures was retained in the Album. That worked out great. I wanted my PSE images to be in the same order. I thought I would do it with tags. But creating an album seems to work just fine.

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.

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.

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!
