Windows Explorer Thumbnail View
Hi guys
I am making a photo gallery system software in the main window I want to show images in thumbnail view. however I see people that they use JButton to show each thumbnail I think that's unconventional so I am trying to create something like Windows Explorer thumbnail view but I don't know how do it. I have a class named thumbnail which will get an image and resize it to thumbnail and put a border around it but i don't know where to put that thumbnail. I think JTable is a good place since you can select the cells but then again i don't know how to add an image to a cell
thank you
Thankx actually I kinda got it working however there are two problems
1-how can i add images dynamiclly I mean I want start with zero row and and whenever someone imports an image to system I want to show the thumnanil of that in the table. meaning adding that image to next avaialbe cell
2-if i have 6 column and 10 rows that's 60 cells but imagine if i have added only 51 images added so that take 51 cells and 9 cells are empty which a row and half and the system has option to select all thumbnail (like explorer) but the problem is it will even select the cells that are empty since it is a table
if someone know how to do this or give me a hint i appreciate it
thanks

How to enable Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?
Hi,
I am using Adobe Photoshop Extended CS5 (64-Bit) on Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate (64-Bit).
When using Windows Explorer to browse through file folders, I notice that the Photoshop files (.psd) do not display a thumbnail preview, like other graphic files do. How can I enable the Windows Explorer Thumbnail Viewer to display PSD files?
Thanks for your help,
The MiJiTAdobe software doesn't provide a 64 bit codec and as far as I know there is no freeware to do it on x64 systems.
There are two pay-for applications that I know of: Mystic Thumbs and Ardfry's PSD codec

Windows Explorer Thumbnail View and 7D Mark II RAW Files
I am running latest version of PhotoShop CC on Windows 8.1 Toshiba laptop. Prior to purchasing my Canon 7D Mark II, I could view Canon RAW files as photo thumbnails in Windows Explorer. Since upgrading cameras, I get generic thumbnails when I view a folder full of RAW files from the 7D Mark II. Is there a fix? I use Irfanview as a general file viewer and Adobe Camera RAW to open files in PhotoShop, but I seriously miss the ability to find a specific photo quickly in Windows Explorer.
Hi billyray1usa ,
may I suggest that you try to use Bridge to view and navigate between the thumbnails with the possibility of having the large preview of each image in more than Adobe Bridge updates with PS and Camera Raw. -
JPanel Scrollable mimic Windows Explorer Icon View
I am developing an image viewer application, and I want my thumbnail image JPanel to mimic MS Windows Explorer's layout in icon view. However, I have not been able to accomplish this. I have searched high and low, finding many others with my same problem, but no solution. To see exactly what I want to mimic, go to Windows Explorer and take a look at Icon View.
Windows Explorer seems to be using a type of FlowLayout, and the icons get wrapped to the next line. If the number of icons exceeds the viewable space, the vertical scrollbar appears. Note that there is no horizontal scrolling; only vertical scrolling with the FlowLayout. If the user adjusts the SplitPane, then the layout adjusts the scrolling and icons accordingly.
============================================================
QUESTION: How can I get my JPanel to mimic Windows Explorer Icon View?
============================================================
10 Dukes to anyone who can get this to mimic Windows Explorer. Ideally the solution would not be too involved.
P.S. I think it stinks that JPanel, by design, does not implement Scrollable Interface. Even then, it doesn't work the way I want it to with my FlowLayout and only vertical scrolling. Does anyone understand why it doesn't implement Scrollable, like JTextArea, JEditorPane, etc. do?
Thanks
WayneThanks camickr! I didn't try your layout manager since I managed to find another one which seems to do the trick as well. Here is the link from which I found it:
http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=c43ovb%242db505%241%40ID-76750.news.uni-berlin.de&output=gplain
It seems that in the source there is a small bug which is easy to fix. I think the boolean parameters in minimumLayoutSize and preferredLayoutSize should be changed.
So in minimumLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, true);and in preferredLayoutSize():
return computeSize(target, false);After that fix, it worked just fine for me.
Here is the complete source (author Babu Kalakrishnan):

I have a massive amount of folder with pictures inside each folder, is there a way for the folder icon to show whats inside, like how windows does it.
Hi Tweedy -
No, you can't use the .NET code directly in DIAdem. I'm not sure what the point in suggesting it was, as it would take significant modification to be able to use similar code in DIAdem.
Have you tried using the VIEW Legends? Expand the legend for each graph and then double-click on the legend, at which point you can configure what information shows up about each curve. By default, the legend will show the Curve Name, Curve Units, X-Position (of the cursor), and Y-Position (of the cursor). Feel free to augment or contract this as needed for your preference.
After expanding each legend, switch to the Curve Cursor, and you should be able to see the Y-Position of each curve, completely synchronized.

I have a long stream of iMessages on my iPad from messaging friends, and I can view messages by scrolling to the top of the screen and clicking 'Load Earlier Messages' and it loads about 20 or so previous messages. But where are these messages being stored and how can I view them? I occassionally need to access messages from a while back but I don't want to keep scrolling up and loading from my current point one click at a time. How can I view these iPad files?
Thanks a lotThe only way to do it is the way you are doing it now. You can take screen shots of them as you are viewing them and edit those together to keep on your PC if you want to do it that way.

PSE9: No thumbnail images of PSD files in Windows Explorer
Win7 x64 SP1
PSE 9.0.3
When using Windows Explorer to view a directory, *.psd files are shown with a generic PSE icon rather than as thumbnail images. PSE9 is set as the default program for *.psd files.
Is there any way to get thumbnail images to display in Explorer?
KenYeah, I've heard that too, but I'm not buying that excuse:
It's not MicroSoft's responsibility for making someone's thumbnails work. MS provides the documentation (I assume) for developers to write code for a DLL to display thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It's up to the developer to do it.
Other software programs which use a proprietary image format do supply those DLLs. Three examples that I use on my PC are:
a. Corel's CorelDraw and PhotoPaint install the appropriate shell DLLs to display their native files as thumbnails.
b. Xara also provides a 64-bit DLL which, when manually registered, displays their native file format as thumbnails.
c. The open-source Paint.Net group registers the DLL to display their native format as thumbnails.
God knows that those three, and especially the Paint.Net group, don't have the hundreds of millions of dollars and hundreds of developers that Adobe does, yet those three chose to do the right thing and provide what I consider to be an essential feature.
Apparently this has been going on for a long time -- certainly long enough for Adobe to write the darned code, if only Adobe had the will to do it.
PSE9 is the only Adobe product I currently have purchased and this issue just sticks in my craw. Other than that, I've got nothing but praise for the program.

No TITLEs displayed in Detail view in Windows Explorer
The following pertains to Windows 7 Professional 64-bit vs. Windows XP Professional 32-bit.
In Windows Explorer, when viewing the file list in 'detail' view, you can also add the 'title' attribute for display by right-clicking the attribute bar above the file list. However, in Windows 7, no titles are displayed for PDF files that have this
information which were displayed under WinXP. Also, if the file properties are displayed, the PDF tab is gone.
I cannot find any info on how to re-enable this feature. If XP-style PDF title attributes have been removed or disabled in Windows 7 Explorer, it is a MAJOR omission for our corporation. We have a massive collection of corporate
and 3rd party PDF documents where interdocument links will not work if the filename is changed. The TITLE attribute in detail view is used to display the document title, not the filename. If any other view is used, e.g. icon view, the bubble
popup displays the title in WinXP, but this again doesn't work in Win7. Without the title attribute working as it does in XP, we may have to forego moving from XP to Windows 7 on our desktops (we're skipping Vista, of course), and find an alternate
desktop OS (Linux?) that still supports this feature.
For example, every IBM software/hardware PDF manual has a cryptic filename which does not reflect anything about the title of the manual. These filenames support inter-manual links, so renaming the PDF manuals to reflect the title is absolutely
not an option. However, the PDF attributes of the file do contain the title, and these were visible under both Properties (the PDF tab), and the TITLE column in Detail view under WinXP. However, both of these features are gone in Windows 7,
and to say it's a PITA is a gross understatement.
We want (need) this feature back in Windows 7. I'd call it a show-stopper in moving to Windows 7 if this isn't fixed, and soon!
Btw, Microsoft, we have over 45,000 desktops currently running WinXP, plus 100's of Win2003/Win2008 servers in our corp. Are you listening?Here's what seems to be going on.
As part of the Adobe Reader download, Adobe provides a shell extension called pdfshell.dll. On 32-bit Windows XP, you'll find it in the C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX folder. On 64-bit Windows 7, you'll find it in the C:\Program
Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Acrobat\ActiveX folder. But, on either system, it's a 32-bit shell extension. On 64-bit Windows 7, Windows Explorer will only run as a 64-bit program. According to numerous web forum posters, this was a change
between the last "beta" and the "RC" version of 64-bit Windows 7. There is a 32-bit version of Windows Explorer in the C:\Windows\SysWOW64 folder, but if you try to run it you get another instance of 64-bit Explorer. The (first)
problem is that 64-bit Windows Explorer won't load a 32-bit shell extension.
You can see the 32-bit pdfshell.dll "working" on 64-bit Windows 7 in the File Open dialog of any 32-bit application (such as Adobe Reader). To see this, first open an Explorer window and navigate to a folder that has some PDF files like your
IBM manual. Right click on the file and choose Properties. Look at the tabs in the dialog and note that there is no PDF tab. Now, OK out of the Properties dialog and double-click on the same file to open it in Adobe Reader. Now press
Ctrl-O or choose File Open to get the File Open dialog. Navigate to the same folder, right click on the same file and choose Properties. Look at the tabs and see that you now have the PDF tab that was missing in Explorer. In that tab, you
can see the Title that pdfshell.dll has pulled from the file. This works because 32-bit Adobe Reader has loaded a 32-bit common file dialog which *will* load a 32-bit shell extension.
But you're not out of the woods yet. The common file dialog has many of the features of Explorer, and you can select Details view and right-click on the column headers to choose to show a Title column. This will show Titles for several document
types, but not for PDF files. This isn't a 64-bit versus 32-bit issues, it's a Windows XP versus Vista and later issue. What Adobe implemented in pdfshell.dll is an ActiveX interface called IColumnProvider, and Microsoft dropped support for this
interface in Windows Vista (replacing it with something called the Property System). You can glance at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776831%28VS.85%29.aspx and just read the first line after the page header: "[This feature is supported
only under Windows XP or earlier. ]". So, the PDF Title column feature didn't go away with 64-bit Windows 7, it went away with 32-bit Windows Vista.
The best solution to this problem would be for Adobe to update pdfshell.dll to provide the Property System interface that Vista and Windows 7 require. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb776859%28v=VS.85%29.aspx if you care for the details.
Then Adobe should release 32-bit and 64-bit versions of pdfshell.dll implementing the new interface, and we'd get both the PDF tab and Explorer columns like Title for PDF files in 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Windows 7 (and Vista).
Alternatively, some enterprising developer could presumably write a shim that would present the Property System interface on its upper side (callable by Explorer) and the IColumnProvider interface on its lower side (capable of calling existing versions of
pdfshell.dll). It would need to deal with interfacing between 64-bit Explorer and a 32-bit pdfshell.dll ... I assume that this is possible somehow, but I don't know.
A kludge that might be (barely?) usable would be to use Windows XP Mode to run a 32-bit Windows XP Explorer and use that to navigate using the PDF Titles and possibly launch them. Perhaps you could come up with a way to make Windows XP Mode's Explorer
launch Adobe Reader in the host 64-bit Windows 7 OS.
A third-party solution might be xplorer^2 (http://www.zabkat.com/index.htm) which claims to support the interface that Microsoft dropped in Vista (http://www.zabkat.com/blog/07Feb10-column-handlers-revived.htm). I know nothing about this program, I
just found it while Googling for "column handler". It says that it has a 21 day trial, is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions and costs $29.95 (presumably US dollars). There is a "lite" version that is free for non-commercial
use ... all of this info is just repeated from their web pages, I have no connection to the company and only know what I read ... I haven't tried it.
It's worth noting that life isn't perfect with pdfshell.dll and 32-bit Windows XP either, depending on your PDF files. Some documents don't have Titles (depending, partly, on what software produced them). Some have Titles long enough that they
won't display in an Explorer column (though they show up truncated on the status line and un-truncated in a tooltip). I have a file called "GEARaspi Security Information.pdf" (http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/GEARAspi%20Security%20Information.pdf)
that has no Title, created by OpenOffice.org 2.4 according to its PDF tab. I have another called "319124.pdf" (http://www.intel.com/assets/pdf/whitepaper/319124.pdf) which has the rather wordy title "Intel® Extreme Memory Profile
(Intel® XMP) supporting Intel® X48 Express Chipset with DDR3 White Paper". Despite having a Title, no Title is displayed in a Title column in Windows Explorer in 32-bit Windows XP, though a truncated version appears in the status bar and
the tooltip gets the whole thing, wrapping to two lines to do it. Intel's file was produced with Acrobat PDFMaker 7.0 for Word according to its PDF tab.
This post is based on what I could figure out, I hope it's helpful (if discouraging ... you won't fix this with a registry hack). -
I have now had two error messages - the first one looked for this script: Script: resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm:258. The second one (today) looked for Script: resource://gre/components/nsPrompter.js:68.
I have reset my word template, also reset word registry for data and options (as per Microsoft's help pages) for both those 'fixes' there was an initial improvement, but the problem happened again after I reposted on my blog today and then went to Windows explorer to view my files. It seems to 'seize' as I select a file, so that the preview does not appear (for up to 15-20mins).
I see on the internet using the second script as a search just now that one other has had a similar problem and one also since Mozilla 4 upgrade. My problems have also been pretty much since I upgraded.
It happens (apart from my fixes) every time I go to look at a word document via Windows explorer. Excel files are less affected.
One web suggestion is to clear the cache, but I am hesitant to lose all my passwords unless I have to.I still have the problem although I uninstalled Mozilla (clearing the cache didn't work and neither did Word diagnostics), so have ended up thinking it could be Norton (the manual update worked x1) or Windows. Today I found an answer: disable the preview pane in Windows Explorer - there's a history of problems with this view.

IOS 8.2 Error of the Day on iPhone 5 - Multiple Drives in Windows Explorer
iOS 8.2 was recently installed on my Apple Certified iPhone 5. As is Apple's custom, a brand new problem has appeared with 8.2, which I've never seen in all the previous, inadequate versions of iOS 8.x running on my iPhone 5: In Windows Explorer while viewing the phone's camera folder, multiple, unnamed, mysterious, unnecessary and confusing drives appear. In addition to the photos I've transferred off the phone. Who has a fix or workaround for this new problem? Thank you.
Apple had graciously and completely ineffectively replaced my previous iPhone 5 which was in excellent condition, because it didn't want to own-up to the many problems iOS 8.x has caused with the iPhone 5, including mine. So Apple continues to ignore its customers and further alienates them to their own detriment.theonlycutmaster wrote:
Thanks Ralph. For sure already tried this (and I'm sure bgl_iMac does also) but doesn't change. Seems this is a bug in iOS8 with Photos store with pre-applied filters.
WHen asking a question in these forum it saves time and is more helpful if you describe those troubleshooting steps you have already taken. Since you didn't mention the reset in your original post I provided the first troubleshooting step that seemed appropriate. -
PDF Thumbnail view in windows explorer
Hi guys, hope you can give me a hand! I`m about to lose my mind here.
I have 4 machines with adobe reader 8.1 installed and in those 4 machines I can see my pdf files as thumnails (they´re books, so I see the cover of each one of them). On my 5th computer not only have I adobe reader 8.1 installed but Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard. But when I select thumbnail view in windows explorer it just does not work.
I`ve tried changing the default program to open pdf files but again all I see it´s a thumbnail alright but it only displays the adobe logo not the first page of the pdf file.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer
Does anyone at Adobe think it might be a good idea to enable AI CS6 thumbnail views in windows explorer again, uh, I mean, we're GRAPHICS DESIGNERS, and we, uh, need to browse IMAGE FILES in AI and PS. I know there are $19.95 third-party apps out there, but we're paying good money (thousands of $ over the next few decades) to get the BEST SOFTWARE ON EARTH, neh? I thought my brand new Windows 7 machine was bro-ken when all I saw was dumb-icons boo...
Lol. Adobe has known about this stupid problem for about 4 years. Since Vista x64 started gaining popularity. Acrobat 8.x was the first version where people really started scratching their heads wondering why & when the problem would be fixed. Then came Acrobat 9. And now "X". Still not fixed, well, I'm sure next year we'll have Acrobat 11, so keep holding your breath.

Viewing thumbnail in Windows Explorer
On my desktop PC running Vista, in Windows Explorer I get a thumbnail showing the content of a pdf file. On my laptop running Windows 8.1, I only get an icon with the pdf logo. Is it possible to get the thumbnail view in 8.1? If so, how?
Not sure what you mean. There are no visible PSD thumbnails in Windows Explorer or whatever you are referring to. This hasn't been the case qor several versions now. It existed once, but then the compatibility issues became to great and ever since Adobe has not pursued the matter further. Use Bridge to browse your files.

Can't View JPEGs in Windows Explore Because of QuickTime Picture Viewer
A couple of weeks ago I had some film developed in our local drug store. I had the photos put on a CD. The CD came with its own software and you had to install the software in order to view or take off the photos. I wanted to use my own editing software program to edit my photos so I copied the photos to a folder on my HD. Imagine my surprise when I discovered that all my JPEG files had been turned into QuickTime Picture files. Not just the ones that I took off the CD, but every JPEG file on my hard drive--over a 1000! I did what you usually do whenever you want to change an association for a file in WD 98--I right clicked on a JPEG file and chose the option that said always open these type files with ACDSee, the photo editing program I wanted to use for my photos. All this did was to allow me to open all my JPEG files into my favorite photo editing program, but still would not allow me to view my JPEGs in the Windows Preview pane on the left of my screen in Windows Explorer! When you have as many JPEGs as I do, even if they are all organized and labeled, you still need to be able to view the thumbnails in Windows Explorer so that you won't have to open up every photo to see what it looks like. There is no way you can remember what every photo looks like when you have that many files even with them all labeled. I went in to the Preference option in Quick Time and unchecked every thing that had to do with still photos. But it did not help. I right clicked on every folder and checked the option that says View Thumbnails. I went into the Folder Options in Windows Explorer and tried every folder option that was offered and none of it solved the problem. I have searched the knowledge base on MS web site and could not find an answer. I have posted this problem in numerous Tech bulletins and no one can figure out how to solve this problem. I checked my Program's list and I also noticed that I had something there listed right under Quick Time that said "Quick Time for Windows" and don't remember ever seeing that before and don't know if that has anything to do with my problem or not. My Quick Time version is: 6.5.2. The "Quick Time for Windows" is not listed in my ADD/REMOVE program. I am so totally frustrated after working on this problem for 2 weeks, almost 8 hours a day, that I am about to uninstall Quick Time just to see if that will solve this problem. I would hate to do that, and that is why I joined this forum before I perform such a drastic measure. I figured that since this forum is all about Quick Time, someone here will know the answer. I have to leave the house for a little while but will check back here when I get back home and see if anyone has posted here. Thank you in advance for any help that you offer.

PC Windows 98 Pent lll, 500--RAM 256-Firefox-AVG
Windows 98 Pent lll, 500--RAM 256Well, it seem no one here knows the answer to my problem either. I appreciate all the people who have looked at my problem even though they did not know the answer either. Because no one on the Internet seems to know how to solve this problem, then I am going to have my husband reformat my hard drive and then I know for sure the problem will go away.
I probably should do that anyway since I have never had to reformat my hard drive since I got it 8 years ago. I always said if something is not broke, why fix it and now it finally seems to be "broke", so I might as well clean it up as well as fix it. Thanks to everyone who looked at my problem.
