No Thumbnails in List View

When I click the list view button or use the keyboard shortcut for list view it switches views but no thumbnails or metadata show up. The window is empty although it gives the number of images displayed at the bottom. The browser view and viewer work just fine. I have already tried the permissions repair, verified my disk, deleted permissions, and finally re-installed Aperture and update to 2.0.1 all with no effect.
Aperture does work just fine on my Mac Pro however. Any suggestions?

Yes, I tried all of that. I had to delete everything but my Aperture libraries and re-install to get it to work. I think it was something wrong with something in the Application Support folder for Aperture. Whatever it was it works now. The first time I re-installed I left the Application Support folder for Aperture alone it still had the problem. There are some .plist files there and undoubtedly something was amiss.

Thumbnail vs list view resetting

Every time I round trip from Premiere to Speedgrade my bins change views. If I'm in list view when I get back to Premiere it resets to thumbnail. If I start in thumbnails it shows up in list view after Speedgrade. Am I just lucky or does anyone else have this feature?

I guess what I am trying to say is that I want this to be a preference that
stays with the bin.
What I want is for the bin view to be a in a constant state unless I
specifically change it.
So if I put it in frame view with in a certain order I want it to stay that
way until I change it. If I turn thumbnails on, I want it to stay on until
I turn them off. If I set a size I want them to stay that size until I
change it.
It seems like every time I change bins or open a new bin I have to set it
up the way I want it.

Search results of product to be displayed in thumbnail not list

Im looking to set up the products search result should display in thumbnail not in list view, how is that possible?

Can we have ur screens hots of the app before upgrade and after upgrade.
As per my knowledge of WDJ, SPA by default always had Overview screen and, users had option to click edit and fields will show up for edit.
For making read only we have to make explicit changes, from personalization or from self service admin role etc. May be ur team did some explicit changes through personalization and self service admin role.
To make the fields readonly etc, you can try in these ways:
1. Personalization
2. From V_T588MFPROPC settings
3. V_T7XSSPERSUBTY for the infotype you have to check "Data must be displayed in read-only"

Scrolling Thumbnails - Dynamic List

Can you point me to a source for creating a scrolling
thumbnail movie where the images in the movie are either populated
from a database, or from a file structure?

OK, so I've tracked down the code that's causing it. I use
attachMovie to attach the thumbnails to their holder clip. What is
causing the glitch with the gradient mask is the code on the border
of the thumbnail. The problem is the _visible=true code. It's in
onEnterFrame, so _visible=true is called on each frame iteration,
and each time it's called, it applies the mask again (resulting in
a solid block because the gradient mask is applied so many times.)
If I just remove all the _visible references, it works fine, so it
seems like a bug with gradient masks when you set masked content's
_visible state. Here is the code on my thumbnail's border: (I
realize there are many ways to do this more efficiently, but the
point is that calling _visible=true shouldn't reapply the gradient
mask to the masked contents.)
onClipEvent (load) {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false;
onClipEvent (enterFrame) {
if (curProjectThumb == _parent.id) {
_visible = true; // every time this is called, it reapplies
the gradient mask to this thumbnail
if (_alpha<100) {
_alpha += 20;
} else {
_alpha = 100;
} else {
if (_alpha>0) {
_alpha -= 20;
} else {
_alpha = 0;
_visible = false;

Styling thumbnails

Hi,
Hope this finds you well.
I am new to dreamweaver. As a test exercise, I am putting some thumbnails on a page in the footer. I would like to space them out properly so there is enough space between them and so they look good and align them right.
I'm assuming I do this in CSS Styles. If so, how?
I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you soon.

I just created the footer as a div. I've been taught to enter the images first and then style them afterwards.
That's what I call putting the cart a little ahead of the horse...   I grabbed a 2-column CSS layout from this site (watch the screencast to see how it works): http://www.ez-css.org/css_templates
I added an unordered list to the #footer division.
Inserted some image placeholders.
Styled the #thumbnails list with CSS.
Copy and paste the following code into a new, blank HTML document:

Workflow improvements for thumbnails, files, archives, etc

I hope this does not duplicate previous requestes - I am a relatively new user of bridge. Maybe the features I wish are part of bridge but I cannot find them :-( These requests are useful to improve the work flow immediately after a process a large number of images (maybe a few thousand) from an event such as a wedding, speed skating competition, dance production, or car race. The objective is to rapidly allow the selection of images that are to be grouped for edit/delete/copy by examining thumbnails and slide shows.
1. Thumbnails are too small on a 1280x1024 or larger screen. It is difficult to compare adjacent images. It would be nice to allow the user to specify thumbnail size. The thumb data base should match the chosen size. However, it would be adequate if only new images added to the data base have the new size. It is difficult to use the Preview window for judging when images are separated.
2. Rename of files should allow the use of the EXIF date/time created. Time is important if multiple cameras are used in a photoshoot and it is desired to put all images in time sequence. The present rename only considers a file attribute of year/mo/day and forgets about the EXIF date/time shot.
3. A simple "select" or "tag" of images (such as the CTL/S key) would be useful that does not update information as does Labels and Ratings. Typically, this would be used for selecting files that are to be deleted, copied, etc. Teamed with the larger thumbnails and the slide show, this would be a very convenient tool for selecting images for editing / processing purposes. Yes, you can CTL/CLICK to do this in windows, but that is inadequate (see point 5 below).
4. If the slide show is used and then exited with the ESC key, the thumbnail directory list should be positioned to and highlight the last viewed item. This highlight should be different than "select" - it is a position reference only. For example, I could be selecting images by viewing thumbnails but use the slide show (see 5 below) to view/select a series of images. The logical place to show where you "are" is in the thumbnail view.
5. Any Labels, Ratings, or "select" (as in point 3 above) should be settable from the current image viewed on the slide show. The slide show is nothing more than a "giant thumb view".
6. The thumbnail data base, if saved in a mounted directory, should be accessable and viewable in read-only mode even if the actual disk drive containing the images is not on-line. For example, it would be nice to view all thumbnails from my four archive hard drives even though they are normally turned off.
It would be even nicer if BRIDGE could sense the fact that the drive has been turned on and then allow full image access. A super smart feature would be a prompt that tells which drive label (maybe even a CD label) should be mounted. If this were done, I could receive a print order for image TF123456, look through the always-available thumbnails, click on the desired image for CS2 editing and have it tell me "please mount disk with label 0246-20040315". After I turn on the hard drive or mount the CD, CS2 magic would continue.

>2. Rename of files should allow the use of the EXIF date/time created.
I think you'll find that this exactly what you do get when Date Created is chosen. In Bridge Date Created refers to the time the image was captured, which is the same as Exif date/time created.
You can find a downloadable listing of Bridge and Camera Raw keyboard shortcuts at
Jeff Schewe, "++ Adobe Bridge and Camera Raw Shortcuts ++" #4, 28 Apr 2005 11:10 pm
These should help you with Slideshow and many other features that you can't find via the menus or the interface itself.

Picture thumbnails

I just re-installed my Tiger OS and everything went smooth. One little hitch though was that when I plug my card in from my cameras I only see icons instead of thumbnails of the images. Before the re-intall, I could plug a few cards into a couple of readers and I would see thumbnails of the images which then I could direct to proper directories on the hard drive. Just a small issue but in the big scheme of things this will save a ton of time.
The details: The files are raw images from two canon cameras. The software for the cameras has been installed and if you drag one of the files to the preview it does show the picture. I think the system know what it is however I need the thumbnails.
Thanks...Steven

open the window where the pictures on the camera are located.
Make sure the window is in thumbnail (not list or column) view.
Click View>Show View Options, and select All Windows at the top, then Show Icon Preview.
Good luck!

Show and Share: How to add thumbnail for uploaded by URL

Hi all,
I upload video by URL in Show and Share. Can I manually add thumbnail for video? and how to?
Thank you very much.
Bintasan Mokkamakkul

As per docs, the default behavior for show and share is to assign a
thumbnail based on the length of the video:
Check out:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1079137
TABLE: Please match the # for each section:
If your video is ...
1. less than 3 seconds long
2. Between 3 and 8 seconds long
3. 8 seconds or longer
It uses this frame for the thumbnail...
1. 0 seconds
2. 4 seconds
3. 8 seconds
If you have a video that is longer than 8 seconds, but the title shot only lasts for 5 seconds, the automatically generated thumbnail may not contain your video title. Or, if you recorded a message, the system may have captured an unflattering facial expression for the thumbnail. Use this procedure to correct the situation.
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1079137
The procedure to modify the thumbnail is listed in the link above. You
need to go to your uploaded videos and click "Edit Video" then follow
the instructions above to move the slider where you want the thumbnail
to be.
Please keep in mind that video editing is only possible for some video
formats:
Table 6-1 Video Format Editing Support
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/5_x/5_3/showandshare/user/guide/edit-delete.html#wp1080725
I hope this helps!
Cheers!

Can not see all the clips in large Icon view in my bin

I arranged my clips in a bin in large Icon view but i can not see all the clips in the bin while in that mode. I see the clips when in list mode or when i drag them out of the bin into the main bin. As soon I drag them back in large icon view bin they do not show up, when going back in list view they are there.
Any idea
Also my daughter accidently pulled the electrical plug, which turned my external hard drive off. So the media was off line. I hit reconnect the clip but the clip does not show as connected in the bin it keeps the Media offline icon but putting the clip in the viewer or time line it plays it. So the clip is reconnected
hope anybody can help with those two issues thanks

Nick
thanks for your message it helped to show the clips. Here how I solved it. I put the clips i could not see in large Icon view, to the Project folder. Even in the project folder I was only seeing the clips with Thumbnail in list view. When i hit large Icon view the clips disappeared, and they could not have been lower down as i only have about 5 folders in the project. I then clicked arrange the clip by name and they showed up again. Like that i dragged the clip back in to its bin and it showed up. The reason for going back and forth I arranged the clips manually in the bin before and when hitting arrange by name it spread them to far apart and put the clips not in a sequence I liked.
for the second part I followed Neil's suggestion it worked.

Many communication issues between Photoshop CC 2014 and Bridge since update

Since I upgraded Photoshop to the CC 2014 version, I've had many issues on using Ps and Bridge together. Here they are:
1. Mini Bridge is absent
2. When clicking to "Browse in Bridge" from Photoshop, the window for my Creative Cloud app opens instead with a message asking whether I am sure if I want to update to "this version of Bridge" (image below). I already updated Bridge and re-installed it, but the same problem keeps occurring.
3. This one is the most frustrating one: the tools menu in Bridge does not show the options for opening images in Photoshop anymore. This was invaluable when working with Bridge and Photoshop at the same time.
The thing is that these issues have been going on for a long, long time, and I don't see any messages from Adobe to at least explain the reason for such blunders. There are many people complaining of the same issues here in this forum, so how come no fixes, no responses from Adobe yet?
Please let me know if you've found a fix for this.
Many thanks!

I do not use the bridge often mostly just use it to edit metadata. I never remember tools being available in the right click on thumbnails menu list. Tools a bridge menu in its manu bar when all start-up scripts are enabled Photoshop should be in it.. If the start-up scripts are not enable you must enable them and then restart the Bridge for them to be available. My Bridge CC tools menu after being updated for CC 2014 has the same tools menu option Photoshop with 8 items. Are you writing you no longer have a Bridge CC tools menu with Photoshop and the 8 options? I use windows and though I use Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit version the startup script folder that seems to be used for Adobe Bridge CC 64 bit is "C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" Program File (x86) don't know why and in there there should be a file "bridge-6.jsx" I also see a "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Startup Scripts CC\Adobe Bridge" with the same file in it however Adobe Bridge CC 64Bit seems to use the Programs Files (x86) path for when I put my startup script for X's Image Processor Pro into the Programs Files path Bridge CC 64bit did not list it as an available startup script. Adobe software is far from being bug free. I have no idea where startup bridge scripts reside your Mac use finder to make sure there is a "bridge-6.jsx" startup script...

RAW images ... 0KB

I have just started using iPhoto with RAW images from my Lumix G1... no importing problems so far BUT...
I import a RAW image (with no jpeg thumbnail). iPhoto lists it as RAW at about 14MB. I have set Adv Prefs to save edits as TIFF, so I open the picture to Edit in Full Screen and do some prelim edits. I then close the picture, and iPhoto STILL lists the picture as RAW, but now at 2.7MB (as if it were saved as a JPEG. After a second or two that size changes to 0KB! with the image still listed as RAW, not as TIFF, which is what I thought the prefs had set up!
I now open the image to Edit with External Editor (PS Elements 8). When the picture hits the screen it is titled as .tif, implying that though iPhoto hasn't told me, it has been saved as a .tif after my iPhoto edit. This seems to be confirmed when after an edit in PSE I call to save the image as a .tif, and am asked whether I want to overwrite the .tif that is already there!!! And when I go ahead and do so, the image is now listed by iPhoto as a TIFF image, and after yet another open/save in iPhoto is still listed as TIFF.
Will the image only get saved as an overt .tif after edits by my external editor (PS Elements)? And what is going on after the initial edit with iPhoto? What IS this 0KB extent file that iPhoto is listing as RAW? Can someone clarify to me what is happening? Is my copy of iPhoto working as it should? OR.... ?

FWIW here is some addition information on using a 3rd party editor, Photoshop, from within iPhoto:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.

Adding submenus to an xml driven main menu

Hi there folks,
I have been following and bastardising a computer arts tutorial for a dynamic flash site, its a really good tutorial and I'd like to keep going with that format/style, but I'm pretty new to the whole scripting thing and am finding it a bit of a headache, so was wondering if any kind souls would help me work out how to add submenus to the code below. the main menu button is a movie file(btn_projects_main) consisting of a button (button) and a text box(txt) and is 3 frames long to allow for the different states:
What I'm looking for is a set of sub menus which load horizontally below the main menu buttons, here is the code which has been altered slightly (thanks to Ned Murphy for his help and patience with that) any help would be hugely appreciated :
// Setup some initial variables
// Hide the button that will display a web link
_root.theUrl._visible = 0;
// Hide the image icons in the project loader
// The image icons are simply there to make it easier for you to
// select the movieClip from the main timeline.
_root.img_project.photo_icon._visible = 0;
_root.img_project.img_holder.photo_icon2._visible = 0;
// name of the folder for all thumbs and swf files
_root.imageFolder = "project_files/";
// Create arrays ready for the xml data
namesArray = new Array();
linksArray = new Array();
descriptionsArray = new Array();
filesArray = new Array();
// Load XML doc
objXML = new XML();
objXML.onLoad = loadXML;
objXML.ignoreWhite = true;
// The name of your XML file
objXML.load("ss_flash_testing.xml");
// onLoad XML function
function loadXML(success) {
if (success) {
// If the XML loads successfully, count how many projects there are in the file.
_root.projectCount = this.firstChild.childNodes.length; // PROJECT node in XML file
// Then run a function that builds arrays out of the XML data.
SS_Arrays();
} else {
// If the xml data did not load, show message on stage by populating the description field.
_root.description = "Error: Could not load XML";
function SS_Arrays() {
for (var count = 0; count < _root.projectCount; count++) {

No ideas at al guys?
I just need a couple of pointers as in what to code needs adding and where, I've created a new movie clip with the name subs (instance sub1), surely its now just a matter of connecting that instance to the sub_projects node in the xml - I guess it also needs to be linked to a parent project button + told to only run when that parent is clicked. I've downloaded loads of different code from various sources, but as there seem to be lots of different ways to write the same commands, its feeling really confusing.
Any help or feed back would be massively appriciated

Flash-Web Photo Gallery

I am trying to create a flash web photo galler using the Automate>Web Photo Gallery in CS2.
I want to mix the features of the 2 existing options.
In Flash Gallery 1, the thumbnails are listed as small icons in multiple lines and are magnified when the mouse hovers over them, like the dock in OS X.
In Flash Gallery 2, the meta data listed in the xml file is displayed only if you explicitly click on the info button, and it is below the picture.
I need these 2 options together. The rest of the options are not a problem I can go either way.
Is there another Flash Gallery that will combine these two options?
If not:
Is there a way to modify the flash file to accomodate this?

Google "Flash Gallery Templates", you'll see 2.4M links.
Back to levonk's original question... sounds like you're trying to do what I'm trying to... alter the Flash files used to generate the Web Photo Gallery Flash Gallery 2.
Here's my question, similar to yours:
How do i open the "gallery.swf" file to alter Photoshop Flash Web Photo Gallery?
Built Web Photo Gallery in Photoshop CS2's Automate. It turned out OK, and I made adjustments in the "index.html" and "galleryconfig.xml" files in a text editor (BBE).
Now, I'd like to alter the template's .swf file but can't open it as it's "protected".
It would be nice to be able to set up a new template that does exactly what I intend, without altering the other files. But I can't open the protected "gallery.swf" file to make changes. Can someone help? Does Adobe have an unprotected copy of that file I can fiddle with? Is there some "trick" to open a copy of that file? I could learn a lot and make it easy to repeat results for a site. Any assistance most appreciated!

Web photo gallery, an algorithm?

hi, im makin a site and i want a photo gallery to be on it.
but id like to have an intelligent solution.
so i thought about an algorithm, id select a folder (in code
ofc) and it would automatically make a list of images being in it
(not only once, but every time it is being run - dynamic). then
makin a scrollbox with thumbnails (just resized originals - no
separate images and thumbnails) and when i click on one it shows it
in a frame next to the scrollbox. the images wouldnt have any
separate descriptions.
well, anyway id be happy even from a simpler solution: a page
with all the images in thumbnails, but listed automatically,
depending on the source folder contents, then when i click at one
it just opens it in a blank new window.
could anyone show me how to do it :P? (ima newb in html ;s)

Go here

Image Gallery Magic and Slide Show Magic will do what you
want. They're not
free but they are VERY good and professional looking.
