Using Preview to view multiple images in their own window

So I'm using OS Tiger with Preview 3.0.9 and have selected "Open each image in its own window" in the Preview preferences. And this works, at least for the first 20 or so images. Then it automatically starts to open all subsequent images in the last window as little thumbnails that can be clicked on. When using my newer computer with Snow Leopard I am able to open (seemingly) unlimited windows, each showing its own image. However on this older maching, even with the correct preference setting, I can't view more than a few images at a time in their own window. I hate having all of the images grouped in a single window as it makes it very difficult for me to compare things. I have to keep clicking back and forth, back and forth. I want everything to be in its own window and I will choose to hide or have them floating onscreen, etc.
Is there a limit to how many this version of Preview will show?

Hi Steve, in 10.4.11 I just dragged 223 jpgs to Preview, all opened on one long page or series of pages.
I'd get GraphicConverter, all 223 opened in a seperate window, but you can use it's powerful Browse function to preview & open the ones you want...

Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpegs?

Using Preview, I export multiple page PDF as jpeg and results are the first page only as jpeg. Can I use preview to export multiple page PDF as jpeg for every page?

Automator is great for this if you need to export many pages to JPG, or just have to do this often.
Two other quick and dirty way sto get it done:
(1) Enable thumbnail view, click on the ONE PAGE you want to convert to jpg, then choose "export." If you choose more than one page, only the first will get exported to jpg.
(2) Create a copy of the file, delete all the pages except the one you want to export to JPG, and export that page. You may be able to "undo" the delete, get all your pages back again, and re-delete all but the one you want to export, etc. I would not recommend doing this on the original version of the file because of Preview's autosave so-called "feature."

How do I view multiple images in one window?

How do I view multiple images in one window? I want to compare images side by side, not in tabs.

Thank you, Barbara. I found that I had to close the program after I turned on "allow floating documents" and restart, before I was able to go to "float all in windows".

When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish

When I use Preview to view a PDF in Hebrew, I cannot search in Hebrew nor copy or paste instead I get gibberish.
Is there a way to fix this?

Do you have an example that someone could look at? I wouldn't be surprised if most PDFs you found were gibberish. PDF is a print format and is really only designed to be printed out and read by a human. Constructing a PDF with real Hebrew Unicode would be a rare find. Here is one example I found by passing the Hebrew word for "Hebrew" in Hebrew in Google. This is a valid PDF. I have no idea what it says.

Displaying images in their own format.

I wrote the following code to store a path of an image into a textbox:
declare
filename VARCHAR2(255);
begin
filename := GET_FILE_NAME(NULL,NULL,'All Files (*.*)|*.*|');
:infiles.letterpath := filename;
end;
Then,
I used the following code to read an image(bath) from "letterpath" textbox and display it into an image item:
Read_image_file(:infiles.letterpath, 'gif', 'infiles.letter_image');
Now, what i want is to show images in their own format, not to dispaly them into an image item.
Can someone please tell me how i can display images in their own format.
For example: lets say i store a path of a word document in a textbox then when i click an open button, i want that document to be displayed in MS Word.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
you could use an OLE container in Forms and associate this with the externmal viewer that you would like to show the source. This however works for c/s and immediately stops working once moving your app to the Web. There you would need to investigate in a Java Bean solution to do this.

How can I make multiple quizzes with their own results slides within one project of Captivate 7?

In one Captivate 7 project I want to create multiple quizzes with their own results slide.
Currently I have 5 quizzes that all are linked to 1 results slide.
Is there a way to give each set of questions their own results slide?
(I saw a response to a similar question for Captivate 5 from 2012, but I couldn't get much use out of is and I figured there was an easier way in Captivate 7).
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply Lilybiri!
I checked out the link and it's useful, however your other plan might work better for me:
Either you link to separate CP-files that have each their quiz, or you can show intermediate results slides (see link below), but you have to know that the score that will be transmitted to a LMS is the total score of all the quizzes.
But how exactly do I link separate CP-files? Do I have to publish them first and then link them, or can I link them before I publish?
If you could shoot me a link or some advice I'd greatly appreciate it. I'm finishing up a huge project that is due at the end of the day and this quiz issue is one of the last things keeping me from being finished.
Thanks!

Opening image files in their own windows in PS4

Before PS4, I could open image files in their own windows. In PS4, when I want to open more than one file, these open with tabs and any new file I open is added to the tab queue. It is annoying to right click on each tab so each file is in its own window. Is there a universal preference to change this annoying behavior?
Using a Windows environment with Photoshop CS4 Extended.

see the tabs setting in the preferences. you can turn that off.

How to open multiple mail messages in their own windows

All:
Anyone know of a keyboard command to open several Mail messages in their own windows? For example, I can't highlight all messages in the Inbox and then double click one of them to open them all in separate windows.
Surprisingly, Mail lacks an Open... command.
TIA,
Mike
Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Just select multiple messages and hit Return.

Finder suddenly started opening folders in their own window

Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if anyone knows what might cause Finder to suddenly start opening folders in their own window even though the Finder preference to do that is unchecked? Before this started happening, all folders would open in the same window (the default behavior).
This happens whether I have my external keyboard plugged in or not and I've verified that the Command, ALT & Control keys are not stuck in any way on both the MBP keyboard and the external keyboard. I've also shutdown the MBP and restarted just to be sure.
Ideas? Is there a command line setting that I should look at or some config file that would tell me if it's incorrectly set?
Rey...

Two things to try:
1) check the box in Finder > Preferences > General tab, then relaunch Finder, then go back and UNcheck that box, and relaunch Finder again (to relaunch Finder, hold the option key and click-and-hold the Finder icon in the dock, then select Relaunch, or use Apple menu > Force Quit)
2) trash the file ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.finder.plist, then restart (the OS will recreate the plist file; sometimes they become corrupt)

How do I get playlists to pop out into their own windows in 11?

I Think I could live with 11, if I could get playlists to pop up in their own windows. That How I create playlists, I have it side by side with my library.. there has got to be a way where you can still do that, right? I'm terrified of going back a step, because I don't want to reinstall 80,000+ MP3's and if I lose my hundreds of playlists, that's 8 years work down the drain!

You will need to connect from the headphone out jact to the input for the speaker on the monitor. The Video cable does not carry audio.

I can't view multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6)

I can't set up multiple images in tabbed panels in photoshop CC (do not have this problem in PS5 or 6). Has anyone had this problem with CC and if so do they know the fix?

I just discovered something really weird. If I open the images in
photoshop (and the tabs are not showing) and then open another window on
top of photoshop (for example word or safari) , then the images and tabs
show in the photoshop window. But if I move Pshop to the front screen then
the tabs disappear!

How do I view multiple images from different projects at the same time?

Hello
I've been trying to find the answer in the user manual, but no luck so far.
I did find how to open 2 projects at once, but I can only see one image at a time in the viewer and I have to keep going back and forth between projects to compare images. (These are scans of old photos and I want to eliminate the ones that are poorer quality, so need to compare numerous images from 2 sets of scans)
How can I view an image from one project at the same time as an image from another? I know that it can be done in the same project by apple-clicking the second, third etc image, but this doesn't work if the images are from different projects.
Thank you
Elizabeth

Thank you again Tony
I've now created an album, independent of the projects, and dragged test images into it and it does just the job I needed. Now i just need to keep my brain sorted with which ones are which while i'm working

How to view the image(blob) to smaller window

Hi Friends,
I am browsing photo data (BLOB) column using SQLDev.
But the display is too big Its not so comfortable to view.
How do I resize the display window to something like 2"x2" ?
Thanks a lot

It all depends on what you are doing. You asked how to resize the window and I said that you can drag the window size to enlarge it to see the photograph. If this is not useful then having an additional column of thumbnail images is an option. I don't know what you are building or what your app is. SQL Developer is a GUI that helps you look at your data. For a blob it provides a window for you to see the image[i] as it is. I typically save images in their original format and in some instance I create thumbnails (http://sueh.visualblogging.com/) Yes, this is a manual process, and yes there are 2 images. In your case this might mean changing the table structure and so not what you are after.

How to make pictures not resize when opened in their own window.

I just upgraded to Safari v3 and despite all the good changes I've found one frustrating thing. In the old version when I opened a picture in its own window and it was bigger than what could fit in the window it wouldn't resize. It just came up as a full-resolution image. But with the new version, it does the thing that I hated with internet explorer and resizes it to fit the screen. It's not a big deal but it's enough to bug me.
I've searched the preferences menus and this discussion board, but I still can't find a way to change it back to the old way of not adjusting.
Is it even possible or will I have to get used to it?
Thanks!

All windows/applications keep minimizing on their own Windows 8.1

Hi. I turned on my laptop today and suddenly found that all my applications (Chrome, Skype, Norton, etc.) keep minimizing on their own approximately every 1-2 minutes. The mouse is constantly doing this twitch thing (it flickers every second and the little
loading circle comes up). It doesn't seem to be affected by typing, it occurs with and without keyboard/mouse interaction. I've installed nothing new that I'm aware about since last night, when this problem did not exist. I've manually turned off and turned
my laptop back on, I've restarted it, I tried to run a scan but Norton is being a pain (am currently running a quick scan). Usually whenever my computer is acting up (unusually slow), I just restart it and it's fine. But I've tried to restart/turn off and
on three times now and I can't find a fix.
This is on Windows 8.1 (please no Windows 7 exclusive answers. They're all I can find). I have not recently updated to Windows 8.1. I updated a few weeks ago (it was a forced update).
And I don't think I have ioBit.
Update: This thing called whiteskyservices (http://services.whiteskyservices.com/addons/chrome/install.aspx?id=eeihfhnbnfemlajfadhbpdfiipncebl) popped up asking for a Constant Guard update (I never update Constant Guard, it's horrible). I x'ed out and the
mouse flashing I mentioned has stopped, but the random minimizing has not.
Update: I tried to disable Superfetch, that didn't work either.
Update: Sometimes, it minimizes and then returns back to the window.
Update: My mouse has erratically begun doing the flickering thing again.

Hi itzarah,
I can’t open and test the link you provide, please check. Share us a screenshot if you willing to.
Please explain a bit about the following questions to avoid misunderstanding:
1. Do you mean that the Windows 8 automatically upgrade to Windows 8.1 a few weeks ago?
2. Is this computer domain-based?
3. Does everything minimize on their own? Windows explorer, desktop apps and metro apps?
4. What is the result about the Norton scan?
Please take the following steps for troubleshooting:
1. As this is a laptop, please check if the mouse flickering caused by the touchpad. Please update the touchpad driver to the last version from the manufacturer website and check if this issue still exists.
2. Unplug the mouse and check if this issue still exists
3. Run the Anti-virus software to scan malware.
Best regards,
