Where do thumbnails come from?

wondering how thumbnails are generated. I assume the thumbnails I view in windows explorer or adobe browser are generated by the browser and are not imbedded in the original images right out of the camera, or am I wrong about this. This also brings me to assume the when I download an image off the internet that the thumbnail I see is imbedded in that images metadata to establish a link or a connection to that image. If this is the case, how do you create an thumbnail and establish that link? Thanks in advance,

You are right. Windows Explorer saves this data in a file called 'thumbs.db' and Adobe Bridge saves to .BridgeCache/.BridgeCacheT. These files are typically hidden from view but can be exposed in Windows' settings.

Most thumbnails you see on the internet are duplicate files of the larger image, simply saved at a smaller size. Try right-clicking on the thumbnail in the web page and choosing to save the image. Then left click on the tumbnail to access the larger image. Right-click on the larger image in the web page and choose to save the image. You now have the thumbnail and the original image on your computer that you can investigate/analyze.
There are some image file formats where a preview/thumbnail is embedded with the original file.

    Once you're on a spammer's list, there's nothing you can do to stop the flood of e-mail messages. You can either control it, using spam filtering (which is what files those messages in the Junk Mail folder), or you can throw out your e-mail address and get a new one.
    It's sad, but spam is simply a fact of life at this point, and there's nothing to be done about it. Legislation has been tried, with zero success, since most spam either comes from countries with no legislation or from personal computers that have been infected with malware and are part of a "botnet."

  • IPhoto 6 "found" old photos - where did they come from?

    When I opened iPhoto 6 for the first time, it updated my iPhoto library just fine. In the process a dialog opened saying it found 134 photos from somewhere, and asked if I wanted to import them. When I said YES, it created a new album and imported those 134 photos into it.
    The photos ended up being old photos (2-4 years old) that I thought I had deleted a long time ago, many of my ex-wife during holidays and a vacation 3 years ago! Where did they come from? Needless to say, my new fiancee wondered why I had old photos of the ex! I thiought they were gone.
    I used Spotlight to search for "IMG_0...) and found many old photos I had deleted! I do not have an old iPhoto libraray on my PowerBook G4, but the photos were still there in folders, deep inside iPhotos filing system. I deleted all the ones I needed to, all by hand within the Finder.
    What happened?

    I had well over 2,000 photos recovered... Also ranging from 5 years old to this past month.
    There was no clear answer but the photos were recovered in large chunks (300 from December, 400 from March, 600 from January, etc...)..
    The entire time I has iPhoto 5, it never worked properly (always crashed) so a lot of these photos clearly were photos not properly saved in iPhoto 5.
    However, I don't see them in my main library. How do I move them from recovered to the Library?

  • When I click the Sections button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"! Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it. I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back.

    In Pages when I click the 'Sections'  button then click on the 1st page I get  a page that is titled "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet"!  Where did it come from and how do I get rid of it? I have tried deleting and "dont save" but it comes back. It is a full page in some unknown language. The only thing I can decifer is 'cupy uf cak'.   Rdal

    Roger,
    The icon is +Sections, not just Sections, as in "Add a Section". When you click that icon you get a section break and and a new section template, complete with preformatted text called placeholder text. The reason "Lorem ipsum" is there is so you can see what the format looks like. The reason that it is Latin gibberish is so you won't get hung up on, or distracted by, what it says. It's just a display of format. Select the "Lorem ipsum" text and start typing your content.

              Set a request attribute in the source jsp. In Servlet 2.4 containers, this
              will be done automatically; you will find attributes similar to
              javax.servlet.include.* today.

  • What are stray points and where do they come from?

    Just curious.
    CS3
    XP2.
    I recently made a drawing incorporating some elements from Inventor (PDFd and placed). After finishing filling in the details, I drew a marquee around the entire drawing and noticed dimensions of the drawing where 10x what it should have been.  I zoomed out and and saw two pairs of points. one pair right, one left, were showing as selected. I tried selecting just the points and could not. After re-selecting only my drawing, they would show up.  Its like they were grouped but not.
    Anyway, going to select/ object/ stray points and deleting them solved it.
    What are they and where did they come from?  Obviously Illustrator recognizes they can be there because of the built-in menu allowance.

    Stray points can occur in a multitude of ways. They occur much more frequently in Illustrator than other drawing programs because of its basic selection interface.
    However, some programs' exports intentionally place stray points at opposite corners of the page bounds in order to convey those bounds to the importing program. (I often see this in imported DXFs.) That sounds like the kind of situation you are describing.

    Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

  • "Boot OSX" drive, where did it come from?

    I have an intel xserve with 1 80gb drive (for booting) and 2 750bg drives mirrored(via software) as my DATA drive.
    After I initially set this up, there was one "BOOT" drive and one "DATA" drive on the desktop.
    I recently logged into the server via ARD and noticed there was a third drive now, named "Boot OSX".
    I, nor any of my staff, installed or created this drive(volume).
    It appears to be part of the mirror raid, but where did it come from???

    FWIW, I saw this shortly after installing Leopard and initially thought it was an external drive I set up as backup. It was only later that I realized that I didn't have the external drive plugged in when I saw "Boot OSX" on my desktop.
    Tonight, I saw it again, googled, and found this thread. Could this have anything to do with Software Update? Software Update let me know I needed to install some updates. I clicked on details and ended up minimizing the application to install them later. After twiddling around with some other things I noticed the "Boot OSX" on my desktop, again. I went ahead and let Software Update "do it's thing" and after a reboot, like the other posters in this thread, it was gone.
    So ... as I asked, earlier, could this have something to do with Software Update?

  • Where this Beep come from?

    Today I hear "Beep" from my T43, everything else is fine.
    I checked the battery, it's still 99%.
    The only problem I had recently is the fan. I bought a Cooling Pad and put the laptop in it. The first several hours the Cooling Pad seems cooled down the temperature, but after several hours, the Cooling Pad become very hot as if it's cooking the laptop.
    I threw away the Cooling Pad. But when reboot, sometimes I got error message of "Fan not fixed". This message gone when I push Esc and reboot again.
    Now I get the "Beep". How to check where the "Beep" come from?
    Thanks!
