Whatever happened to file icons as attachments?

Whatever happened to file icons as attachments? Now, whenever I attach a document to my email, the entire document appears in the body of the message. Can I turn this off and just have the message show the file icon?

Any document including a Word or another word processing application document?
The Mail.app shows all image/picture and smaller PDF documents (1-2 pages) inline or viewed in place within the body of the message by default which cannot be turned off. This should not occur when attaching a Word or another word processing application document.
You can control-click on a viewed in place attachment and select View as Icon but regardless, Mail.app attachments are sent as true attachments to the message and depending on the recipient's email client and available preference settings, such an attachment may appear inline or viewed in place when the message is opened by the recipient (as with the Mail.app) or as an attached file only which must be opened separately for which we have no control over.
You can also use a 3rd party plugin for the Mail.app called Mail Attachments Iconizer.

  • IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend's

    IPAD3/IPAD2 :PDF files/ attachments  sent in an email  displayed inline ( embedded within the main email) in the message text on both my Ipad2 and Ipad three, however the same email displayed the PDF File icons/ attachment on both my Iphone and a friend’s PC. How do i get both my IPAD devices to display the PDF icons/attachments? Bearing in mind if i open the same email over the internet the PDF Icons/attachments display OK!
    Has anyone come across this? Your advice/help would be most appreciated

    This happens to me all the time.
    If is a one page PDF it seems as though it comes over already open and inline in the body of the email. Multiple page PDF files show as the PDF icon.
    I can't find any official documentation of this - other than based on my own experience with PDF attachments in my various email accounts.

  • Whatever happened to the File: Place: In InDesign Script?! I want it back!

    Whatever happened to the File: Place: In InDesign Script?! I want it back!

    I think Configurator will happen for InDesign CC, just not yet.
    For now, you could write a startup script.
    I only suggest these as alternatives. It would have been better if Adobe had made it an option. Very heavy handed and another thing that is going to P loyal users off.

  • Windows 7 File Icons

    I am very frustrated because I upgraded to CC from CS6 and now my file icons are missing AGAIN. I had this problem when I upgraded to InDesign CS6 and it consumed a significant amount of time to get the correct icons to appear (I believe I may have had to uninstall, download and reinstall the software). I know it doesn't impact functionality but it looks unattractive and it's BROKEN. I have seen a lot of people mention having this problem, especially with CS6, I can't believe an upgrade came out with the same broken functionality. It blows my mind. I really want my icons to appear as they were intended.
    Is there an easy fix for this? My internet is too slow to reinstall.
    As you can see, the indesign and photoshop icons are both missing... the illustrator icon is the only one appearing correctly. All programs were upgraded the same way, at the same time - through the adobe creative cloud desktop app (the icon on the bottom left, not sure how people refer to that program/app).
    please help
    thanks in advance.

    This happened to me, too, after I had set files to open on default with the 64-bit versions of InDesign, Photoshop, etc... I got these ugly white icons with the corresponding program icon in the middle--I hated them, they looked horrendous. I tried reinstalling the programs and deleting the icon cache file, multiple times, and none of it worked.
    After weeks of searching for a fix, however, I think I finally got one that works!
    Run regedit through CMD+R
    Back up your registry, just in case this doesn't work or something goes wrong (File > Export...)
    Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion \ Explorer \ FileExts \ .file_extension
    replace .file_extenstion with whatever file type is having a icon issue, i.e.: .indd for InDesign, .psd for PhotoShop, etc...
    Under the file extension there should be a key/folder named UserChoice, delete it--this is your culprit!
    Repeat steps 3-4 with each file extension that has an icon issue
    Refresh your icons by:
    restarting your computer, or
    force refreshing your icons:
    Start > Default Program > Set your default programs
    Select your web browser, email client or any other item in the list
    Click Set this program as default
    Click OK
    I hope this works for you! Good luck!

  • Problem with the PNG file icon

    Hello. This is the first time I'm posting something here, so please be merciful. :) Yesterday I saw that the file icons of the PNG files are not the blue ones (like we all know them, after installing Photoshop CS3), but the default Windows (I'm using Windows XP SP3) icons. I mean like when I don't have a program to open a given file, that is how it looks like. But when I double click on the PNG file it opens right away, so in my eyes there is a problem, of some kind, with the ICO file itself. The strangest thing is that this ICO file is not missing, deleted or moved! This happened only with the PNG files. All other Photoshop related files are ok and have their respective icons. Can someone tell me how to change the PNG file icon, so I can choose manually the ICO file.

    @roshlioto This is a windows issue NOT Photoshops. So wrong place on the Internet.
    However, you right click on the shortcut/icon whatever, (in Windows) and choose the icon/app you wish to associate with a given file.

  • InDesign files take long to open when clicking file icon

    Ok, I have a weird problem with a Windows XP machine running InDesign CS6. Whenever the user tries to open an .INDD document by double-clicking the file icon itself, it takes 3-5 minutes, literally, before the document will open. This is with InDesign running already. It happens with .indd files on servers, locally on the desktop, files with content & links, and even completely new & blank documents.
    However, if the user simply drags the file into InDesign, it will open up right away. No problem.
    This behavior is not being seen on other WinXP machines, nor is it being seen when trying to open other documents in other applications (i.e. MS Word) on this particular computer.
    Any ideas? This machine had Windows XP and Adobe CS6 reinstalled from scratch yesterday.
    Thanks!
    William

    Sad that this issue was never addressed or responded to, for I am having the same exact problem with InDesign CS5.5 and with files located on a network server. I tried the above suggestion of dragging the file directly into InDesign but that doesn't work everytime.

  • 'Browse For File' icon not working in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hello All.
    Ever since upgrading my copy of Dreamweaver from version 8 to CS4, I seem to have accounted an annoying bug (?)
    If, for example, I want to change an image on a webpage, I would click the image in question on the screen and by using the Properties panel would select a new image by clicking the 'Browse For File' icon in the 'Source File Of Image' section of the panel.
    Then I would select the new image, hit 'OK' and the image would be changed.
    Now when I do this nothing happens - the original image remains and cannot be altered.
    I now have to manually type the link of the new image into the 'Source File Of Image' field, which is a pain.
    I have even disabled my firewall and anti-virus just in case these were somehow conflicting but still no change.
    Any ideas anyone please?
    Thanks,
    Jon
    Using Dreamweaver CS4 on Windows Vista Home Premium SP2

    If Dreamweaver is behaving in an odd way, it frequently means that there is a corrupt personal configuration folder.
    Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
    When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.  
    For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ.
    Hope this solves your issue.

  • Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector

    Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you

    When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file.  Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

  • My Illustrator file icons don't match what the actual file image is. How can I fix this?

    I'm using Illustrator 5.0 with MAC OS 10.8.4 and the Illustrator file icons are different thatn the actual file image. It's using the same image for 5 different files. THey all started out the same, but I edited them and then did a save as, but the file icon image didn't update. How can I fix this? I tried resaving the files and copying the files, but it didn't work.
    Thanks
    Michelle

    Are you on CS5 or the very old AI5, which a few vinyl cut shops may have?
    Do a save as , and enable PDF Compatible. That usually helps if the icons are blank, but may help you.
    If that don't help do a command I on the file, select the icon, and hit the delete key to see if anything happens.

    Hi aadeshs
    This problem is on my laptop  running Vista ( Business) on Adobe 10.0  ,   for many years I did NOT have a problem with this . No forum Pages on this. 
    Also i would like to know how screen readers can better interact with PDF as my wife has difficultys on some email attachments on her laptop , again there seems no easy avenue for someone in her situation surfing websites and forums  for Hours maybe ok ok for sighted people, but not if you are blind & use a screenreader.  No Support Help from Adobe is available.
    thanks

  • Folder/ file icons are different sizes from one window to another!

    Hi there
    I am having an extremely annoying problem where all my folders and files (in icon view) are totally different sizes from each other from one window to another. For example, I might click on a folder that's icon is small sized (64x64), but when that folder opens up, the icons of the subfolders inside are huge (276x276) and need to instantly be resized and re-arranged. Then if i continue to open one of these subfolders, the file icons inside it are now medium sized (96x96). Each new folder that I go into on my hard drive will be differently sized and I end up spending ages resizing and re-arranging them before I can do my work. This problem never happened in Leopard and Im despairing of what to do.
    Is there a way of setting a default icon size and spacing that can then be applied to every folder and file on the hard drive? I have used the 'Use as defaults' option on the 'View options' window but this doesn't apply it to anywhere else besides the current window you are on.
    Surely, Im doing something wrong as Apple could never have overlooked such an obvious problem like this?
    Can anyone advise?
    Many thanks
    Dan

    The Finder will (theoretically) remember the view settings for each individual folder that you visit. If you have not opened a particular folder before, you should get the default view settings, but once you have changed the view then that is what you will get on subsequent visits. You can erase the previous settings by deleting the (normally invisible) .DS_Store file that is created in a folder when it is opened, but this file can contain other Finder metadata.

  • Flashing file Icon

    When I open my mac book there is a file icon with a question mark that flashes all the time and I can't get onto the desktop or into the system - help, please!

    Hi croyde;
    May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
    It is admirable that you had so much faith in your MB but as you now know backups are critical.
    May I ask do you have any idea as to how full your hard drive might have been? If you had the hard drive too full that can cause file corruption. Usually the file corruption is in the directories because they are being changed so frequently.
    Having said all of that, file corruption can just happen for no apparent reason. It is not a common occurrence but it is possible.
    If you could not boot nor perform a safe boot that indicates the corruption on your hard drive was in a most critical position.
    The best suggestion I can give you is to develop a backup plan for the future.
    I certainly hope you do not let this episode sour you completely on your MB.

  • Nano scollling through files icon and apple icon, won't restore

    Help, this is troubling.
    When plugged into the computer my nano scolls though three screens: apple, file icon with exclamation point and then www.apple.com/suuport/ipod and then flickers back and starts over. The sceen seems quite dim also. And I can't get it to reset, restore or to go into disk mode when plugged into the computer.
    If I plug it into the wall it just goes to the icon file and the web site view. Then I can get it into disc mode (no other modes though) but when I unplug it from the wall to plug it into the computer it seems to fade a little bit and as soon as I get it plugged into the computer it starts its three page cycle again. So the computer won't recognize it and it won't stop cycling. It is only a few months old so I don't see how it could be the battery.
    Any ideas at all??

    Hi Tom, thank you for responding. I have had the same problem using 2 computers, one is an HP Compaq nx8220 laptop running Windows XP Professional Version 5.1, the other one is a LG Tablet also running XP Professional. I have downloaded the latest version of iTunes on both. The problem originally happened when I was updating the iPod on the LG, I left it charging and when I returned a few hours later the iPod didn't work. I then went through the 5 stepts as per the web site which resulted in the iPod needing to be restored. I hope this helps.
    Cheers, Tony

  • File Icons have changed

    I just noticed that all of my pdf file icons have changed to the iTunes icon.
    Would anyone have any idea why this may have happened and how to change them back?
    There are no problems with opening or viewing the files - they still open in Preview - but in the Finder they show up as the iTunes icon? Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    AK

    Great suggestion - thanks! It did change the icon globally - but then when I switched it back to Preview - it went back to the 'iTunes' icon.
    Where can I go to change the Preview icon (which is probably want's broken)?
    Preview icon is kept inside Preview application package. control-click on Preview.app and select "show package contents". go to Contents->Resources. the file is called preview.icns. However, there is no way that file got substituted by the itunes icon. Morte likely something is wrong with the Launch services database.
    Try the following. delete the file homedirectory/library/preferences/com.apple.LaunchServices.plist and log out/in. if that doesn't help run the following command in terminal
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
