Web archives, thumbnail images on
If I make a web archive of a page ("Save as...") that has thumbnails which you can click on to see the full-size image, and the original page is eventually taken off the web, will I still be able to access the full-size images? It seems that a click causes the page to run a script and retrieve a separate jpg...so maybe I should use a site-archiving app, that downloads separate jpgs, rather than using Safari's built-in feature.
Thanks for your help,
The Mozilla-based browsers, which includes Firefox or Camino, save a web page as an html document with a folder of all the images so that it can be viewed in any browser at any time. There are also various utilities listed on VersionTracker to download multiple layers of a web site.

Search Query Web Part thumbnail image link broken
Hello,
I have 4 farms spread across the world and I want to pull news from Farm 1 (headquarters) into farm 2, 3, and 4. In SharePoint 2007 I did this with content deployment by pushing only the news site out to the other 3 farms. However, from
reading content deployment guidelines in SP13 I feel this is no longer a supported configuration.
I am trying to use the search query web part to accomplish this now. I have a search query web part that I am using to roll up articles from SharePoint at farm 1. So far it is mostly working, the articles are pulled in and I can see
them. When I click the link it takes me from the current farm (farm 2) to farm 1 to read the article. The only problem I am having is that the rollup image does not display at farm 2, 3, or 4. I believe this is happening because the image
URL at the source is getting saved as a relative URL. Even if I try to override the relative URL to the image with an absolute URL then it just forces the URL back to a relative URL because clearly SharePoint is smarter than I am and there is no reason
I should ever want an absolute URL.
I should add that to get this working, in my search settings, I had to configure an extra content source (to farm 1).
So my question is what is the best way to handle this? Is there an option in my search configurations on farm 2 to override URL's for a particular content source? Am I even headed down the right path trying to do this with the content search
web part?
Thanks,Hi Tom,
I have been trying to figure out what you mean when you say I am using 'Page item' instead of 'Picture'. I don't understand what you mean.
When I set up a page that will be published I have actually been using an 'Article Page' content type for the news item I want to share on all of the farms. After creating the page there is a section at the bottom for a 'Rollup Image' I specify
the URL in this rollup image but the actual image is stored in an 'Assets' Library. I have no problem with the article page itself showing up on Farm 2, just not the image. The "Rollup Image" data type is Publishing Image - "Rollup
Image is a site column created by the Publishing feature. It is used on the Page Content Type as the image for the page shown in content roll-ups such as the Content By Search web part."
Question 1: Are you saying that I need to somehow replace that rollup image field with a custom site column field?
Question 2: If I set up a new column then do I need to worry about connecting catalogs?
In your post from December 9th it sounded like you had this working in your test environment.
Question 3: Did you have it working using a different configuration there?
Question 4: If so, did it require having a separate web application just for Assets, or were you using a custom site column there?
In Farm 2, after I connected my catalog from Farm 1, I found that a Pages library at the top level of my site collection contained some strange entries. I have files in that library called
CatalogItem--1684387697
CatalogItem-364050575
Category-
Category-1211-4576
The first CatalogItem gives me an error "Sorry, something went wrong". The rest seem to contain images from Farm 1. However, news articles still are not finding those images. I suppose that is because the 'Rollup image' link is
still pointing to a different path than that connected catalog. Anyway, those items were checked out to me and were not published. I checked them in and published those Category/CatalogItem connections hoping that would work, but
that didn't help either.
When I set up my catalog in farm 1 I only checked 'Enable this library as a catalog'. None of the other fields seemed to apply since I am not publishing to a public site (Anonymous access) and also since I am not trying to tie identifiers to catalog
items (Catalog Item URL fields). Additionally when I connected to my catalog I tried "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_fullConnection">Integrate the catalog into my site" with the setting "</label><label
for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_rewriteDecisionSection_noURLRewriteRadioButton">Make URLs point to source catalog". I also tried "</label><label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_connectionTypeSection_manualConnection">Connect,
but do not integrate the catalog". Both of those settings sounded like they might force catalog items to look to the source (Farm 1). Neither worked. There are a lot of other settings but none of them seem to apply to my situation.
I'm not trying to configure Navigation Hierarchy, Category Pages, or Item Pages. Maybe I need to do something with "Catalog Item URL Format", but I'm not sure what settings I should try.</label>
Questions 5,6: Do you have recommendations for my catalog/catalog connections to get this working? Obviously my current configuration is not right or else it would work, but am I even close? -
Thumbnail images corrupt after saving for web
I am working with CS2.
Whenever I choose "Save For Web," the thumbnail preview on the desktop doesn't show the full image. Half of it is grey. This only happens when I choose save for web. Sometimes if I single-click the thumbnail, the entire image appears. But most of the time, it stays half grey. I'd appreciate any help on this, since it's been going on for a year now, and re-installing didn't help.Save For Web generates an icon of the image on both my home Mac and work Mac. I've changed the preferences in PS to "Never Save" Image Previews. That has done nothing. So maybe it is an OS glitch, but I can't find anything to change. And again, this only happens when I choose Save for Web.

If you click on the link below to one of my website pages, you will notice how some of my News entries have thumbnail picture images by them. I just figured out how they are added and what I was doing wrong. What I need to do is to have someone tell me how to rectify the ones that don't have the thumbnail images.
http://web.mac.com/dfreis/Freis/News/News.html
From what I have learned, you can either delete the picture page holder and drag your own photo in the space left blank, which results in a thumbnail of said picture NOT appearing as a thumbnail on your main archive page or leave the place holder image intact and then drag your picture on top of the image and the thumbnail of your pic WILL show up on the main page.
How do I get the pictures to show up as a thumbnail on the ones I did incorrectly the first time without having to redo the whole page from scrach?

Thumbnail images will not appear for downloaded videos!
Until about a month and a half ago, whenever I downloaded a video to my computer, a thumbnail image always appeared on the video menu. But now, all that appears is the logo for the media player I have installed.
From the web pages I have read, it seems that the installation of the one of the recent versions of Adobe Flash Player has caused this problem, but I don't know this for sure.
I have tried to uninstall and then reinstall both AFP and the media player several times already, but the problem still exists.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this problem? All answers appreciated. Thank you.You *might* want to try one of the solutions listed here:

I'd recommend googling a bit for "enable flv thumbnail windows explorer" to see what you can find.
Thanks,

Thumbnail images in Forms6 client/server
Hello,
Some help would be greatly appreciated on this matter. I would like to be able to display a thumbnail image of a picture on the web in an oracle, NON-WEB enabled form.
For example, when I open a form dealing with product details, I would like a piece of magic to retrieve a thumbnail image of the product from somewhere on the web, and display it on the form. Please note, in my situation it is not viable to store a scaled down version of the image int he database. The image must be located somewhere on the web.
Some research into this has pointed me to OLE, but I can't seem to find anythng relating OLE to images in forms.
Any ideas?
- A Developer Scorned.Denis,
I followed the instructions in the link you gave (how to put animated icons in forms in which you instructed how to use an activeX control to display images in client/server forms.
I would like to thank you as it works beutifully, however there is one more question - Is there a way to get to image to scale or 'fit' to the size of the activeX control on the form

XML scrolling thumbnail, image loader, & Buttons [halfway works]
Intro:
I started a flash-based website a few years ago. Back in 2006 I was able to get a xml scrolling thumbnail, image loader to work without a glitch.
For numerous reasons I had to put the project on hold until now. [one was that my 30 day trial of flash expired and only recently was I able to purchase the Adobe Web Suite CS4 as well as a new computer which could run the apps.]
Last Friday saw a bump in the road in the development of my site as two, rather straightforward task, turned into something short of a nightmare as I have been unable to get past these two, seemingly, relatively simple task.
I have posted in 4 other flash forums the issues, in detail, that I am facing - and have quite a bit of interest/views in the topic as the numbers suggest - yet no response/answer as of yet. [Which confirms other messages I have seen which seem to state that working with buttons has become increasingly difficult with the newer version of flash - something Im a bit surprised with actually from Adobe. - I would have thought there would be a palette where you could set parameters...]
Screenshot of Site/Timeline:
Before getting into the two questions I have, I would like to post an image of the site as it looks whenever an swf file is saved out, as well as a piece of the timeline in the back for reference.
Issue #1
As of now when the swf file is saved out you get exactly what you see above:
a: A scrolling thumbnail
b: ...which loads a large image when clicked on it - PEFECT...
BUT...
1a: I need for the buttons to load in this action, not for it to just load on its own.
[i.e., the silk_paintings gallery is what is open, so I need the "silk_paintings" button to call up this action]
note: Initially I had attacked this problem by taking out the actions layer you see above and applying it directly to the individual buttons with some crude MouseEvent Listener/Handerls... that did not work - at all.
Im sure it may be "easier" to make an array out of it, but with my coding level it may be "easier" to apply it to the buttons.
1b: How I currently see it, I would take the xml-list and duplicate it for the number of galleries I have.
[I would then re-name the xml-list to reflect the name of the galleries they are to represent, i.e. "silk_paintings"]
[also, I would have to rename the folders to "thumbnails1,2,3, etc., & "images 1,2,3, etc"
From there I would duplicate the actions and paste it into the buttons, changing the xml-list name to that of "silk_paintings", etc., as well as write in the MouseEvent listener Handler to make it work. [ah, ha, but what is that magic phrase, I have tried to implement various code from other tutorials, and all in vein.]
Issue #2
At this point I would be tickled pink just to get this to basic function to work.
However, once the buttons are working and calling up the xml, etc., then I need the buttons to stay on the semi-transparent blue color it is whenever in the 'hit' state. [note: NOT pictured above.]
With the way the buttons are currently set up, and with wanting to use scripting to get them to interact with the thumbnail gallery, it will have to be some miraculous code to tell that button what color to stay as whenever its clicked, and of course it going back to white when another button is clicked.
Conclusion:
Since this is an Adobe Forum I would like to make a few additional statements in hopes that the developers, etc. may take heed.
Adobes products are not cheap, and when I went to purchase the websuite I went in as a designer needing a program as not to need to program.
I understand the flexibility that coding gives, but something as simple as linking buttons should not be in the realms of rocket science. [yes, for many its not...but my brain just does not operate that route despite all the tutorials thrown at me.]
Again, it would seem that there would be a button panel where you could drag options like scrolling thumbnail slider, loader, and then parameters would come up. [much like Apples iWeb. - but before the argument of one being pro and the other for non-pros, I see it differently. Software should not be the limiting factor in how flexible you can design, or rather ones lack of programming shouldnt be. With all the talented, and I say this in all humility and honesty, programmers working for Adobe, Im sure something could be programmed like what Im asking for.]
note: Director is a good example, back in 1997 I knew nothing of multimedia and in one week I had assembled a portfolio, clicking buttons, speech, movies, and all. - and no, I dont have the money to buy more software!
At this moment I am at the mercy of someone who reads code like its a nighttime tale they are telling their kids, and who can see the exact issue I have and can share the appropriate, correct code. [as I have noticed, it has to be on target - naturally - but this target changes with just a slight change in the design.]
Thank you,
peace
Dalen
p.s.
The actionscript: [note: This is only the current working/good code that Im trying to get the buttons to call up.]

DalenThe issues with the buttons calling up the scrolling thumbnail panel have been resolved, as well as keeping the buttons in their hit state once clicked, thanks to Rob.
Those that have been following this thread, or stumble upon it in their searches later, may appreciate to see the final solution to this particular issue.
[Hopefully I will be able to update this thread with a url in the future to show the site in operation, which may help somebody with their project in the future if its set up similarly.]
Alas, it would be nice if future versions of flash had a more direct, flexible, user friendly method for creating navigation.
[We may see development beyond the flash ads which everyone seems to loathe... and more creativity with flash in terms of games, web interactivity, & animation.

Thanks for reading. I have a number of web archives saved and understood them to save whatever was shown, notwithstanding future changes to the page. Am I correct in my understanding?
Trying to open some (not all) of these pages, I get "There was one opening error... choose Activity from the Window menu." The pages will not open.
Choosing Activity shows-
"file:///Users/martin_bell/Documents/Documents/Finances/Sandys%20Tax/Sandy's%20 return%202006:2007.webarchive 1 of 2 items (1 error)".
These were saved on a previous iMac and transfered using target disk mode. Any ideas?
Thanks.Hi Martin
safari & webarchives is a little err, less than ideal... although most of the images/items are stored in the archive - they don't always seem to get displayed by safari if they're no longer on the web - hmmm.
web archive folderizer extracts all stored items from the webarchive into folders, but doesn't produce a nice, easy to click icon that displays it all in a browser - however, it might let you find the items that don't show up. -
Opening Web Archive files in WebCT
"This document is a Single File Web Page, also known as a Web Archive file. If you are seeing this message, your browser or editor doesn't support Web Archive files. Please download a browser that supports Web Archive, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer."
This is the message I get whenever I try to access the page for class outlines, ect. They are usually powerpoint type things, but they open in Word (on Windows).
I have tried using Firefox, Opera, Safari, Internet Explorer, copy/paste into Word, and saving it as a PDF. It works perfectly on Internet Explorer when using Windows.
Is there anyway I'll be able to access these kinds of pages while I'm on a Mac?
Macbook Mac OS X (10.4.8)When viewing brought Safari the same picture ca only be saved as a Web Archive file format.
That's because you're not saving the pictures you're saving the page that contains them.
Drag and drop the images from the Safari Window to the desktop and then import them from there to iPhoto.
iPhoto is not a web browser and cannot read web archives. -
Hello, I currently use Automator on Mac OS 10.4 Tiger. I most often use this program to create thumbnail images for easy web upload. However, I plan to upgrade my operating system to Leopard soon, and I was wondering, will my Automator workflows that I've created in Tiger work on the Leopard OS? If not, is their an equivalent automation on Leopard that will output thumbnail images?
without knowing specifics it's hard to say anything definite but leopard automator includes everything Tiger automator had and a whole lot more. the action to create thumbnails is certainly present. you might have to remake the workflow from scratch but it will certainly work.

No thumbnail images when viewing pictures folder via desktop & screensaver
When I go into system preferences and then Desktop & Screensaver I chose the pictures folder. It does not show any thumbnail images of any of the contents of my Pictures Folder, yet clicking on a blank area of space applies a desktop???? I have never seen this before anyone have any ideas?
There may be some minor issue or glitch in the system; and perhaps even
starting up in SafeBoot and using Disk Utility's repair disk permissions, then
quitting the utility, and restarting normally may help repair this situation.
Some file types, in some cases, may not appear in icon or thumbnail view;
and there are a few image editor applications whose custom icon thumb-
nail views actually appear as a generic icon w/o an image; but an original
import from a camera will have the correct thumbnail captured by Finder
and/or Preview (or iPhoto) by first-contact with the image from the camera;
but Photoshop or other third party shareware or freeware may not show one.
For a normal situation where a thumbnail image icon should be present:
Open up a finder window and do like this: from Finder=View=Show View Options
=Show Icon Preview. That will give you a thumbnail view of whatever document it is.
You can select to do this setting for all windows
Apparently your situation is different in that there may be a permissions or other
issue going on in the system; so try routine maintenance and also see if the images
are in the correct location for the system to see them. If the system is really messed
you may have to consider repairing it; try booting from the native disk utility in OS X
boot/installer disc, repair disk and repair disk permissions; then reboot using Startup
Disk in the boot disc's utilities menu (in installer menubar) and immediately press &
hold the Shift key on startup to engage SafeBoot; and re-repair disk permissions
from the System's hard drive located Disk Utility to re-correct these permissions, as
they will probably not be proper for the fully updated system running in the computer.
Then restart normally.
There may be file damage, so if that is discovered through additional troubleshooting,
you may have to consider a new system folder, as in "Archive & Install" then update.
Repair disk permissions between all update & install steps of system and other software.
If you have and use a utility interface tool such as OnyX (runs free, is donationware) from
Titanium Software, download from their site; and run all the checkbox items in Automation,
and then restart the computer - or set its preferences to do that also, automatically - this
may help general system health. It may not be able to fix something deeper in the system;
but a third party disk utility such as DiskWarrior or Drive Genius2 may help in other matters.
In some cases, depending on what images are involved and where they came from, be
they a chosen set of personal images you've directed the system to use as background
desktop images in Finder, or a set of Apple-supplied images, the results can be different.
I use a folder of camera created scenics as desktop backgrounds and use ToyViewer to
edit and rotate at a most basic level, since I try to make photos in the camera and not edit.
Sometimes, these will have generic non-image icons and not thumbnails; there is a way
to work around the issue should a whole folder of them go bad or change over w/o notice.
Hopefully someone who has fixed this problem will write a follow up; it is getting late in my
timezone and I am running on empty per this topic, among others... You may resort to an
Apple help or Apple Support documents search for a matching topic. That's a huge library.
Good luck & happy computing! -
Google search results shows no thumbnail images in Firefox as compared to IE or Chrome.
When doing a google search, I see no thumbnail images for things like youtube video's or an image that would typically come from authority site. Is there a setting in FireFox that is inhibiting this?
Compared to IE or Chrome which does shows a little image in Google search results.Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.

Download webpage archive - no images + layout lost
Dear Apple and Safari forum,
I love working with Safari, no popups, tabbed browsing, nice look etc., but without being able to download a webpage archive with all its content, including images, original HTML layout etc., it is all but useless to me.
I am using Safari 1.3.2 on an iMac G3 Snow, 56k dalup, 640Mb ram, 30gig HD and OSX Panther 10.3.9
There are no options in Safari 1.3.2 for inc images or links in a webpage download. Dragging images to the desktop is NOT a viable option.
I can't install Safari 2 because it requires Tiger, and even then it may not solve my problem.
Using I.E. does solve my problem - full web archive with original layout including active links to a depth of 5 if neccessary.
Being a devoted Apple/Mac user for 25 years, I'd prefer to use Safari.
Is there a fix for this?

iMac G3 Snow Mac OS X (10.3.9) 640 ram, 30 gig HDUse "Report Bugs to Apple" under the Safari menu to send feedback to Apple - there is no guarantee that anyone from Apple will see your post in this user-to-user discussion forum.
A web-archive feature was added to Safari 2 which is only available for OS X 10.4.x. The web archive can only be read by Safari 2.x.
You can use either Firefox or Camino, both of which can save a web page as a standard html file (which can be read by any browser) with a folder containing all the images.
There are utilities listed on VersionTracker that will let you download web sites up to a number of layers deep. -
What determines whether or not a thumbnail image of first page of PDF is shown in Win. Explorer
In the bottom details pane of Windows Explorer, the PDF can be shown as either just a PDF icon or a thumbnail image of the first page of the PDF.
What aspect of the PDF file determines what is shown, and how is this changed (if possible) in Acrobat?Neither PDF (the file format) nor Acrobat / Adobe Reader are involved with the "preview" an OS file browser might provide. When present it is provided by the OS. To learn more about the whole thing some web searches will yield a generous population of links to information.
Be well...
