Windows folders and thumbnail views...

Hi there.
Is it possible to instruct Director (MX2004) to open a folder
residing on a
CD/DVD-ROM and ensure it's displayed in "thumbnail" view
(Windows)?
I was thinking something along the lines of utlising Buddy
API if at all
possible; if anybody out there could possibly let me know
either way it
would very much appreciated.
Many thanks in advance and kind regards, Mark.

Hi there Dave.
The thumbnail view is very important and is pretty much at
the heart of this
particular project - is it something that could easily be
switched on and
off at the registry level?
I'm fairly comfortable with the prospect of registy changes!
With respect to it being the registry - is it something that
can be acheived
at non-administrator level?
Many thanks and kind regards, Mark.

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files?

How can I quickly view pdf files like I can do with Windows Picture and Fax viewer for jpg files? I need to look at several thousand PDF files. It takes too long to open each one individually. The only thing I could think of is combining them into large groups and then using the Navigation index. But I like the way windows Picture and Fax Viewer does it because you can keep the files separate. Combining PDFs causes loss of individual file names. That would be a problem since I do need to have the individual file names.

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions.
Try to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows, then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog.

Why does my pdf file open in 'windows picture and fax viewer'?

Anytime someone sends me a pdf file, when I click 'open', it automatically opens up my 'windows picture and fax viewer' and of course, I get nothing. So, in order to read a pdf file, I must first save it, then go into my Adobe Reader, and open it from there. Can anyone tell me how to change that? It's only happened since I upgraded Adobe Reader to 8.0. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

Right click the pdf file and click on Properties. In the General tab click the Change button and associate the Adobe Reader 8 program to the pdf file. Click Ok, then Apply.
I assume the connection to this forum is that the pdf file is a Lighroom generated slideshow.

I think the last update did not work, and now I cannot open jpeg attachments with windows picture and fax viewer, it is not listed in the tools/options drop dow

I don't believe the last Thunderbird update worked, there was a very fast error message. But since then I cannot open jpeg attachments in Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. If I go to Tools, then options, the jpeg line is grayed out, and the drop down menu does not show Windows Picture and Fax Viewer. The windows picture and fax viewer still works on my computer, but not for opening attachments.

I did as you said - deleted the entry for jpeg, but when I tried to open one there is not an option for Picture and Fax Viewer in the drop down, and it can't be found by browsing. It's just not there anywhere even though I can see pics in it except in email attachments.

How do I get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer to be the application used to view pics, images? It doesn't even show up in the list of "other applications".

Image files(jeg, gif, etc) are assocaited with the picture and fax viewer in the files options but firefox doesn't see the app, even inthe open with other list

The Windows Picture and Fax Viewer is a DLL and is started via a rundll32.exe call and can't be set as an application to handle images in Firefox 3 and later versions. 
You need to set Windows Picture and Fax Viewer as the default viewer in Windows. 
Then it should be listed automatically in the Mozilla Firefox Browse dialog. 
You can look at an alternative program for viewing images:

JFileChooser and thumbnail view

How can I implement a custom JFileChooser that show thumbnail of image files such as TIFF and PNG?
As before, I used FileDialog on Windows XP for this purpose.
But FileDialog does not support multi file selection and file name filters.
I tried to implement custom FileView. (getIcon() method).
But it was so slow and strange.
Could you guys give me a advice on this problem?

Hi Dhiva,
materialized view is essentially a table that is produced from other tables based on a query. It's results are physically stored in the database and are refreshed either when the user requests ('on-demand refresh') or after commit.
A simple view is just a query stored in the database. It's results are not stored anywhere, they're calculated and returned to the user only when the view is queried.
Best regards,
Nikolay

Why can't I use Windows Pictre and Fax Viewer to view JPG files in Firefox?

Windows Picture.. is NOT one of the Applications "choices" under Options/Applications. Why not?

Uninstalling PS Album 2.0 removed windows thumbnail viewer

After uninstalling using control panel "add/remove" Now unable to view jpeg thumbnails in "My Pictures". Windows picture and fax viewer no longer in the drop down list of options to view pictures.
Anyone know how to re-install/ re-activate windows picture and fax viewer?
Is this a known bug with Album?
Thanks
John
PS: It was on a HP Pavillion A450, XP (auto updated)

Jim,
Thank you, I thought about this and tried searching for it at Microsoft.com and came up empty. I think the thumnail viewer might be an integral part of windows and that during the uninstall it removed a DLL somewhere. Anyone know if it possible or where to download and re-install windows picture viewer?
Thanks for the advise
John

CS6: lost previews and thumbnails

Surprisingly this is not in the FAQ section: how do you folks get around the problem of having no previews when opening a file from Windows Explorer?
I realise Adobe wants us to use Bridge but I'm sure I am not alone in finding this unstable and slow.
Another forum recommends intalling Sagethumbs which is great for showing thumbails in Windows folders, and also shows really tiny thumbnails when opening a file in Detail view.
But I really miss having the preview pane to see full size images when selecting a file to open in Detail view.
Has anyone found a workaround for this issue?

I like the FastPictureViewer Codec pack myself. FULL support for all the functions required of codecs. Commercial software, but quite inexpensive and well worth the price.

Saving Jpeg crashes Finder in Thumbnail View Mode

Hi all.
Anyone have this happen to them?
My finder crashes and relaunches itself when I do the following:
Have a finder window open in thumbnail view mode, open a jpeg image in Photoshop, then resave it. It happens without fail EVERY time I do this.
I do not have the problem in list mode or that other mode (whatever it's called - the one that lets you see the subfolders).
I'm running Panther on a PowerMac G4 and have had this problem from day one. I just did a clean install a month ago and the same issue exists.
B.

Actually Onyx appears only "reset" the Spotlight index, it doesn't force it to reindex or anything else that I'm aware of.
I read up a bit more on Spotlight and tried to trash the index and associated files, hoping that it would reindex and all would be fine. However apon reboot it kicked back into it's old routine of cycling and eating up 99% of one of the CPUs.
I decided to finally just disable the spotlight feature completely using the DisableTigerFeatures program.
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/18182
Although I'm disappointed that I can't use Spotlight anymore (never used it much to begin with though) I can happy report that both my CPUs are mine again, my software and games are running snappier, my firewire hdd, iPod, and secondary SATA HDD not unmount and vertify just fine.
Sad that for months and months I basically allowed my G5 Dual Processsor to be crippled by a buggy (in my estimation) piece of software. Finally I feel like my computer is safe to work on and I'm enjoying it for the first time in quite awhile.
Thanks again Francine, had you not pointed my in the right direction I'd still be running a single processor machine that crashed all the time

Artwork thumbnail view?

Hello,
In iTunes 6.0.1, in the Videos ("display with blue background" icon), it is possible to toggle between Details view and thumbnails view (right upper corner).
Does anyone know the possibility to have a thumbnail view of the CD artworks stored in the library? allowing of course direct access to the music files.
Regards,
Yannick

iTunes doesn't add artwork to thunbnail view in Windows Explorer. Itunes adds artwork to the files or to a folder with links between artwork and music file.

Bridge: Using Thumbnail Viewing TIF Files

Using the Bridge and thumbnail viewing, our TIF files do not provide a preview. What am I doing wrong?

I think I have things configured correctly in dc20 and dc30. I can view tiffs thru the gui (cv03n) and if I select a tiff from EasyDMS , right click , view thru gui and edit thru gui all work.
If I select a tiff and right click then click on "edit file", the file opens in the picture viewer and the little lock icon appears. I can also then check in the file.
The only item that does not work is the "view file" (without using the gui). I see the "Downloading File" box come up and I can see where the file goes into the temp directory, but the application never starts up.
DC30 Workstation application entry:
TIF
TIFF Documents
Archive and File Suffix are blank
.tif,.tiff
image/tif,image/tiff
appl-icon = @ar@
Start Authorization is checked
You cannot rename temp files is checked.
All 3 (view , change, print) DC30 workstation application in network entries are the same
YP
TIF
1 or 2 or 3
TIFF Documents
EAIWeb.webviewer2D.1 %SAP-CONTROL%
DC20 Entries:

I hope this info helps solve the problem.

Thumbnail view in picture folders???

I don't use iPhoto, because I have entirely way too many pictures, so therefore I store them all in folders on my external hard drive. When I open a folder, all I see is a bunch of J-PEG files and the only way to view them is to select all and open with preview. Is there any way to get a thumbnal view of these images?

This works for me. In Finder open the folder you wish to view. Click in the finder toolbar the icon view. Now you should see icons in the window. Right click anywhere in the window. Pick *Show View Options*. When the *View Options* window opens choose *show Icon Preview*. This should make all the picture thumbnails change to a picture thumbnail.

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 MiJiT

Adobe 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

Thumbnails not working in windows 7 and windows 7 RC

When I used to view my security camera video card in Vista I would get a thumbnail view of each 10 second video produced.. This made it easy to skip through each video produced and pick out the ones that I thought would be best to check. This would be watched after about a week or so of videos. Now in Windows 7 and windows 7 RC I cannot seem to find this thumbnail view. All I can see is the media player film type .AVI icon for each video. Is there any way of turning the thumbnail function back on. I have tried all the registry fix changes that have been suggested and they don't work. I have downloaded different codec programs and they don't work. The icon/thumbnail box is unchecked in folder views and that doesn't work. Is there an answer to my problem. Does any one know if Microsoft are working on a change to get thumbnails to work with .AVI files. Hope you can help.

Hi guys,
I found a solution for this issue on windows 7 64 bits !
I'm on the 7100 I couldn't get thumbnail preview for my .MOV or .mp4 files. Sometime I could get one or 2 thumb out of 30 in the folder.
I changed and added a few key to the registry to fix this preview thing:
IN REGEDIT:
_ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where I only had 2 key inside the shellex.
_I looked inside the mpeg shellex ( because mpeg would generate good thumbnails:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
where it had 3 keys
_SO what I tried was to copy those 3 key and replace my .mov shellex 3 key with those.
this is what you can do:
-open regedit
-right click on: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\
then export it ( it will be your backup in case it doesn't work or you mess up something you will just have to click on it to instal it again.
Then,
- remove the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\ "KEY
-open notepad
-paste the following in your notepad file:
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{3D1975AF-0FC3-463d-8965-4DC6B5A840F4}]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{BB2E617C-0920-11d1-9A0B-00C04FC2D6C1}]
@="{c5a40261-cd64-4ccf-84cb-c394da41d590}"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov\shellex\{E357FCCD-A995-4576-B01F-234630154E96}]
@="{9DBD2C50-62AD-11D0-B806-00C04FD706EC}"
-----------------------don't paste this line-------------------------
-save it under whatevername.reg ( be sure to use "all file" kind of type file.)
-double click on the reg file you just saves you just saved , it will reinstal the shellex inside the .mov key here:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.mov
with the right keys and stuff.
-close regedit
-open a folder containing your .MOV, refresh the files several times to be sure, it should be working.
