Turn off icon preview on all folders?

Looking for a good way to turn off icon previews on all folders, especially on a networked drive. 
If I open a folder and choose View > Show View Options, I can turn off the icon previews for that folder, but the others remain unchanged. (Even if I push the use as defaults button)
Is there a script to command that I can run to change this on all folders recursively?

Thanks!!! I had been looking for like 25mins before i luckily ran into this thread!

  • Turn off icon preview for everything except pix?

    I.m.o. it was a step backward in Leopard that icon previews were also made for text documents. This is nonsense. I have to see at the first glimpse what a Pages document is and what's an RTF; it's absurd to show the text preview in an icon! You can't recognize the content of a text document in 48X48, 0,01p size!
    I can only turn the previews on / off for all kinds of files. But then I can't recognize pix either, which is annoying.
    At the moment, I have made all extension visible, but reading an extension is not as fast as seeing a file's icon.
    *Does anyone know an app, hack or anything to turn previews off for everything except pictures?*
    Thank you very much
    Peter

    Baltwo,
    Thanks for trying to help me out.
    To give you some more detail:
    If, for example, in Excel 2004 I do CMD-O, then a window pops up to open a file. Top left of that window I can select the view mode for that window (3 possibilities). Now, if it is ´list´or ´columns´ view I indeed only see generic icons. However, if I select ´icons´ view (leftmost possibility of the 3), I see all icons change into previews. This despite the fact that in finder I disabled icon preview for all view modes (including ´icon´ view).
    Problem is the same in any application when opening files in ´icon´ view mode. A bit annoying.
    Thanks,
    HansC

  • Way To Turn off mpeg preview in Finder?

    I have mpeg videos that are close to 4 gigs in size. Whenever I select "get info" to find out the file size, it hangs the computer for about 2 minutes as it tries to load the video in the preview area.. Anyway to turn off this preview function?

    Try opening an info window on some other file and click on the triangular icon next to the preview header to close the preview. Finder should remember this pref next time round.

  • How do I turn off the preview pane in Mail

    I am trying to turn off the preview pane in Mail - ultimate goal is to stop have mail mark a message as read just because I scrolled over it.  I don't want a message marked as read unless I actually open the mail item.
    fond this thread continually in earlier discussions from 2009-2011 - but othing more recent.  Surely this has been fixed by now.
    Thanks

    Drag the divider between the message list and the preview pane all the way to the right. It will pause about a 3/4 of the way, but keep dragging and it will go all the way over.

    How do I turn off mail preview?

    Hey DogJoey, 
    You can adjust the preview window or completely hide it by dragging the separator all the way to the right. For more information take a look at the article below. It will be for OS X Yosemite, but will be the same for OS X Mavericks.

    Can anyone please tell me how to stop email previews from appearing on my screen. I have turned off the preview option in settings on both my ipad and iphone, but they still keep appearing.  Thanks

    works ok on mine - (5, 7.1.1).  Try again.  with previews set to none, mine shows the sender and the subject line only.  (you cannot get rid of the subject)    with the other settings, you get the sender, subject line and however many lines you selected.

  • Turn off font preview in PS CC 2014?

    I'm attempting to troubleshoot performance issues with Photoshop and one thing I am seeing in Adobe's FAQs is that I should be able to turn off font previews in the preferences in the Type preference panel. However, I am not seeing that option. Has this been removed or moved elsewhere in PS CC 2014 or is it no longer considered a relevant performance tweak... or is something wrong with my install? Screenshot:
    My version of Photoshop is 2014.1.0 / 20140730.r.148 x64
    Running on Mac OS X 10.9.4
    iMac 3.5GHz i7, 32GB RAM, 6TB RAID 0, 1TB startup SSD
    PS. The issue I am actually troubleshooting (if anyone reading this has any insight) is that large doc sizes (~100MB) with many layers (both vector and type) have become largely unusable as minor edits such as resizing or moving a layer results in beachball for upwards of 20-30 seconds with the Console reporting that Photoshop has been "caught burning CPU!" (exclamation point is Apple's, not mine). Anyway, sounds naughty. Hardware tests have come up empty so I am revisiting my otherwise unchanged settings to see if I can fix the issues.
    Thanks in advance for any advice or thoughts!

    Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh... in the Type MENU, not the preferences... Thanks!

    Try a restore. If that does not work, you probably have a hardware issue.

  • TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL.

    TRIED TO DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE ios7.1.2 TO MY IPAD. iPAD FROZE ON THE APPLE PICTURE AND WONT TURN OFF OR RESPOND AT ALL. IPAD MAY NEED MORE FREE MEMORY FOR THE NEW SOFTWARE BUT HOW DO I FREE UP MEMORY IF THE IPAD IS FROZEN. CAN THIS BE DONE ON iTUNES OR THE APPLE SITE?

    Took my iPad to the Apple store today and they were able to unfreeze it with a simple forced reset. This is done by pressing the Off button at the same time as you press the button on the front and hold for about 20 seconds. The new software had successfully installed and the iPad had frozen when it was starting up again after install. Not sure why this simple process can't be part of a FAQ page on the Apple site.

  • How do you turn off email preview

    I have turned off email preview in settings, however the preview still remains.

    Turning off the email preview in settings only removes the lines of text from the inbox list.  Other discussion on this topic indicate there is currently no way to turn off the preview pane (window) that appears behind the list of emails on the left hand side.

  • Help turning off feature that opens all pages and numbers docs.

    How can I turn off feature that opens all numbers and pages documents each time I open the respective program?

    What version of OS X are you using? That information will help in providing a specific solution.
    If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. You can quickly close all open windows in an application by typing ⌘ ⌥ W (Command + Option + W) or hold down the Option/alt key while clicking the red close button.
    Other things you can do to turn off this resume feature:
    In Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks you can set System Preferences > General to close windows when quitting an application.
    Try Mountain Tweaks The option to turn off resume is at the bottom of the left-hand column under Lion. This solution does not work in Mavericks.

    yesterday for the first time i turned on my macpro 2011 model and i got a crazy gray screen with lines all over it ,so i held down the power button and turn off then restarted and all was ok could someone help me with this,what caused this shut down. werd

    Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone?  If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
    Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP.  I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
    Good luck and don't panic.
