Thumbnails disappear in Grid

I have used LR since v1.0 with every single update in between and never had any major issues with LR including out-of-memory erros, upside-down red text on pics, adj. brush performance, now ahve run into this problem.
Thumbnails disappear just before the final high-quality pass. Scrolling out and into view make them redraw, just to disappear again together with the three dots. The neweste thread on the topic I was able to find was dated Sep, 2007: Grid thumbnails disappear after 1/2 second . It didn't solve my problem.
Some observations:
The problem only affects JPEG images, all other work fine.
Filmstrip is not affected, only grid view.
It's only when the thumbnail info includes the file extension, both in compact and extended mode. (see screenshot 1 and 2)
Metadata panel info is not shown for affected images. Keywording panel is fine.
Synchronize folder fails (does nothing) if the folder has at least one JPEG.
Exporting to a new catalog doesn't cure the problem.
Importing images into a fresh catalog does solve the problem.
Trashing prefs, TranslatedStrings.txt doesn't help.
Since the only thing that helps is a fresh catalog, my conclusion is catalog corruption. Unfortunately this is not an option for me: too many collections, VCs, flags and stacks lost. I need to cure the catalog. Binary, the catalog seems to be fine — it's been optimized and it passes the integrity test. Also I have opened it with 3rd party utilities (SQLiteSpy).
I attached a small catalog (change extension from .txt to .zip, sorry) with 1 image that exhibits the problem. It was exported form my main catalog.

Actually, though she will likely pass them on it is Daniel Tull at Adobe that has been investigating and repairing Catalogs. He can be contacted at dantull at gmail.com to see if he will still take one and how to send it.
That's what I did and, voila, my catalog is healty again! :-)
For the record, Daniel found that this behaviour was caused by a null value in the sidecarExtensions field of the AgLibraryFile table in the catalog. It has to be an empty string ("") rather than null, otherwise Lightroom goes nuts. Why was is null? Because I did it myself, stupid me. Too much fooling around with my own catalog.

  • Strange Problem -- Thumbnail disappears and I can't open the photo.

    Please help. Just upgraded to V1 last night (a few bumps but everything's up and running, lot of work to do still reorganizing my library) and one of my five-star rated photos is acting strange. I can see the thumbnail in the library when I scroll through the folder, but as soon as I try to open it it disappears and blank space is left in the grid where it once was. if I remove the cursor and scroll, the thumbnail shows up again, but I can't get that picture selected! I though it might need to be reconnected so I tried to reimport, but it told me the image was already in the library and asked me if I wanted to open it. When I said yes, it showed me the thumbnail but then the thumbnail disappeared again when I tried to open it!
    any thoughts? I need this picture.
    many thanks.
    Dave

    mine are raw. i don't want to delete the folder because I have lots of edits on other images in the folder that I don't want to lose. fortunately, I was able to find another image in that sequence that suited my purpose so I re-edited that and used it. one nice thing is that with cloning/healing I didn't have to go into photoshop at all! :) but that other image is still acting strange....

         Hi Frank.
         I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
         However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
         Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

    After adding a logical standby database through Grid Control for a RAC database, I noticed sometime later the Data Guard configuration disappeared from Grid Control. Not sure why but it is gone. I did notice that something went wrong with the standby creation but i did not get much feedback from Grid Control. The last thing I did was to view the configuration, see output below.

    Specify file location staging area on standby node
    At the end am presented with a review of the selected options and then the standby database is created
    Has any body come across a similar issue?
    Thanks,

    Any resolution on this?
    I just created a Logical Standby database and I'm getting the same warning (WARNING: No credentials available for target ...) when I do a 'Verify Configuration' from the Data Guard page.
    Everything else seems to be working fine. Logs are being applied, etc.
    I can't figure out what credentials its looking for.

  • My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

    The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
    Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

  • Thumbnails disappear

    why  do the thumbnails disappear in iphoto for the iphone 4 when you put the privacy mode on sometimes is it a glitch or its a way to do it

    The thumbnails have not disappeared.  In the first screen you have displayed the apps for which there are privacy settings on your phone.  You have then tapped on PHOTO and the second screen gives you details of settings of apps on your phone for which you have not allowed access to your photos.  I do not see a problem here

  • Iphoto thumbnails disappear with each reboot

    My iPhoto thumbnails disappear any time I reboot or log out of iPhoto.
    I use the rebuild command and get them back, but they don't  stay.
    Is this a problem with iPhoto or the address where the thumbnails are stored?

    My iPhoto library is in the correct location on my laptop hard drive.
    This all started with editing photos.
    I backed up to time machine, then deleted @350 photos from a recent download.
    iPhoto froze up with this, and I did a force quit.
    Re opening iPhoto came back with all black thumbnails.
    I option-command opened iPhoto and rebuilt the data, and the thumbnails.
    The photos are there, but every time I log out of iPhoto, the thumbnails are gone again, and I have to rebuild.
    So...  I restored from a journaled copy of iPhoto photos, from time machine.  The problem persisted.
    To restore however I had to move my iPhoto library (30 Gigs)  to an external hard drive because I did not have enough
    room on my hard drive to restore from time machine.
    The data is all there, but the thumbnails just won't  persist. 
    I think it is haunted.
    thanks

  • IMovie '08 Thumbnails disappear

    I am a recent Mac convert and defintley need some help figuring out how to troubleshoot anything on this machine.
    When dragging clips longer than 5 minutes into the top (project?) screen all the thumbnails disappear... randomly. If I adjust the interval of the thumbnails (from 10s to 5s or from 10s to 30s, for example) they sometimes come back, but it is definitly not a reliable solution. In general it is a HUGE pain when editing my videos. i can drag my mouse over the area where the thumbnails used to be and it plays the video as if the thumbnails were there... but i can't see them. I'm left feeling around in the dark trying to drop my clips in the correct place. So frustrating!
    Help!
    I had this problem on a couple different machines, my brother's MBP and my new iMac. Is there a way to get rid of it for good, or am I going to need to upgrade to Adobe premier or final cut to avoid this ridiculous glitch?

    I still have not downloaded the huge OS update. In the meantime the following (forcing iMovie to recreate the thumbnail files from scratch) may help (I had some slightly different problems so dont count on it):
    Close iMovie.
    Go to the Movies folder for the user with the missing thumbnails. Go to the iMovie Events folder and then the specific Event folder for the event(s) with the corrupted thumbbails. There should be a "Thumbnails" folder - move this (ont delete it yet kust in case this does not work).
    When you restart iMovie it will spend a few minutes (or more if you had a lot of clips) recreating the thumbnails.

  • Grid thumbnails disappear after 1/2 second

    I have an odd problem on my laptop: the thumbnails in the main window of the grid initially display but after a short period (maybe 1/2 second) they disappear - what I see then is tiles with the image number and file name plus the borders but the rest is gray. If I scroll or PgUp/PgDn or change the thumbnail size the new photos that come into view have thumbnails briefly, then they disappear too. Loupe, develop, navigator preview, Compare view, Survey view,and filmstrip all work normally, it is only the grid thumbnails that are odd.
    Additional information: if I press the J key to cycle through the different types of grid display I find that the problem only occurs in the "expanded cells" mode and only when the full info is toggled on.
    I have LR1.1 and I have the latest video driver (Mobile Intel 945 Express chipset version 6.14.10.4859). The problem also occurred with LR 1.0 before the upgrade. The laptop is Toshiba Portege M400 with 1GB RAM, the processor is Intel T2400 18.3GHz. Windows XP sp2.
    Any ideas?

    That seems similar to, but not exactly the same as, the problem I've been having for the past 2 weeks on only one of my 2 computers:
    metamatt, "missing text / thumbnails / many Lightroom UI elements disappeared" #, 18 Aug 2007 3:08 pm. I too find that the problem in Grid view depends on the view options I've selected, but for me, the thumbnails are either always present or always missing, for given view options -- they don't appear then disappear.

  • Thumbnails in alternating grid

    I am working on a wordpress site with a gallery.
    The gallery is generated dynamically by the Nextgen gallery plugin.
    So the user adds pictures and the program makes it into a gallery.
    The way the gallery looks can be styled throught  CSS.
    I am trying some things out here:
    (looks a mess but it is just a test)
    http://www.littlewings-wanbetaler.nl/wordpress/zuskookt-voor/
    But what I would like is to lay out the thumbnails  in an alternating grid, like so:
    http://www.littlewings-wanbetaler.nl/thumbgrid.png
    Is this possible at all with some really clever CSS ?
    Apart from a class all the thumbs get an id which is created dynamically, everytime you add a picture .

    This could be done fairly easily with a CSS styled Zebra Table.
    Simply
    add more <td> columns to the one shown below:
    Ok, but creating tables (or HTML) is not going to work, since the HTML is output by the gallery, which is created dynamically.
    So i have to do it with the CSS, I think. My sourcecode looks like this:
    <div id="ngg-image-41" class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box"  >
        <div class="ngg-gallery-thumbnail" >
        <a href="http://www.example.comnIMG_1066.jpg" title=" " class="shutterset_set_5" >
        <img title="IMG_1066" alt="IMG_1066" src="http://www.example.comnIMG_1066.jpg" width="85" height="85" />
            </a>
            </div>
    next thumbnail will be the same, only the id will be different: ngg-image-42
    Found an example on the webs : http://www.jimdavis.org/test/checkerboard.html
    which does what I want. It uses a blank div after the last picture on the first line and a blank div before the second line.

  • Thumbnails in library grid view won't load all the way

    Anyone else getting this in LR 3.2? Kind of frustrating to only have half or so of the thumbnails in
    grid library view load. This also happens in the scroll bar view.
    Win 7 64 bit

    Are these huge files?
    Are you generating standard or 1:1 previews?
    If 1:1 try switching to standard to see if that helps.

  • Thumbnails disappeared in Pages panel in InDesign CS4

    The thumbnails that show the page spreads and the master pages have disappeared in the Pages panel of ID CS4 (on Windows XP SP3). I can't figure out (a) what caused them to disappear or, more importantly, (b) how to get them back. In the Panel Options, I have Show Thumbnails checked for both Pages and Masters, and all 3 of the Icons options checked. Any suggestions on how to get them back would be appreciated.

    In followup, I tried to reinstalling ID4 -- a painful process. That didn't solve the problem. So I tried unchecking display thumbnails vertically. That worked in that the thumbnails for both masters and pages displayed correctly horizontally. I then rechecked display vertically and they disappeared again.

  • IPhoto thumbnails disappear - missing photos

    iPhoto crashed a few days ago, and I had to rebuild the library. After this was done, my events were all out of order but the photos were still in tact. However, there were about 100 photos in one event that were missing. They were represented by black squares. The thumbnails would show for an instant while I was scrolling through the event, but then the thumbnails would disappear and turn black. When I selected a photo, it showed a black exclamation warning sign.
    I back up to Time Machine, so I tried to restore my iPhoto library from an older backup. Those same 100 photos seem to be corrupt in every single backup since the photos were taken. To make it even harder for me to understand, I actually viewed these 100 photos in iPhoto last week and they were fine, so I know they haven't been corrupt since they were imported to iPhoto.
    Are these photos recoverable?

    The exclamation mark is an indication that the link/file path between the thumbnail and the master photo has been broken. Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - apply Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • Black background disappear on grid, stack.

    when i click my stack which show as grid, the black background disappeared. Directly showing the desktop background, anyone help?

    I am having this same issue. No more grey background for a stack or fan. Just totally transparent. Also the little 'Abbey Road' lines separating the apps from the stacks come and goes at random. Not cool.
