How do I keep transparency when conversion of a file in indexed color?

I thought clean my office today and even create some custom icons for the folders that I left after cleaning. I found a folder on the web which is a png image and open in Photoshop icon. I then customized a bit, but now I can't seem to save it as a png with transparency preserved in the shadow at the bottom of the file. When I try to convert the file in indexed color, all the options that I have try turns the shadow of a solid, dark mass. Instead, I try to use the "Save for web" option and save it as a png-24 file, it seems to work, but when I try to replace the icon of one of my desktop with this new file folders it turns into the generic icon of 'Preview '. What I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance!

Indexed color doesn't support transparency, or layers. You will need to use PNGs you've discovered. I'm not sure to replace icons. Those who might be images bitmap and pngs won't work. Do you know what the original file type is for them?

  • How do you keep Windows automatically passing the entire file name when editing?

    When I copy a file to a folder and rename the file, that I right click once on the file name to select it and again to place the cursor where I want to change the name in the name of the original file.  However, until I'm able to start typing the computer automatically highlights the entire file name, so that when I start typing deletes the original file name and replace it with what I typed.  Is there a way to avoid this and allow me to change the name of original rather than delete it and start from scratch?

    If I press ESC to restore the original name and follow the same steps again, that it allows me to change the name of the original file as you wish.  That is to say, I see only this product the first time I try to change the file name.

  • Keep transparency when copying object displayable?

    When I use Bitmap.draw () to copy a displayObject - do I lose transparency? In one case I could be copying a .png file which had transparency and in another case I copy a composite image made up of several DisplayObjects. It seems that the resulting images are bitmaps without transparency.

    Is it possible to duplicate the .png in memory files, preserve transparency and have unique items for use in different places on the screen?

    This brings us to the use of the draw() method.  I just used your png and the resulting bitmap has transparent png.

    I used the following code:

    var vfdata:VideoFrame = new VideoFrame (0,0);  I posted your picture to the VideoFrame class
    var vf:Bitmap = new Bitmap (vfdata);  This is needed to get the width/height of the image used below
    var bmpd:BitmapData = new BitmapData(vf.width,vf.height,true,0xffffff);
    bmpd. Draw (vfdata);

    addChild (bmpd);

  • How can I keep 'creation date' to copy the files?

    I copy a lot of files to cd and dvd on an external/portable hard drive to save them, but I've found that the 'creation date' and 'date modified' options (in Windows Explorer) are displayed as yesterday's date (the date I copied them to my external hard drive, and not when they were actually created and modified years ago).

    I really need the files, once they are copied, to display the original "creation date", and if possible 'date modified', can anyone tell me how to do what you please?

    I read that I can Zip, copy and unzip them and it should maintain the original dates, but this seems to be a kind of long-term to do things. Y at - it maybe a checkbox somewhere to confirm that you want to keep the original dates before copying them? Also, I am running Windows XP Professional, Version 5.1 (service Pack 3).

    Thank you very much.

  • How to speed up composition when you work with files open exr?

    The main issue is covered by the title, but to help give you some background, here is a concise summary of my workflow:

    I hope someone can help.

    I produce 3d animations composited .exr files saved out of 3ds max with vray.

    I usually use separate .exr sequences for each of the items to make... rgb, reflections, the hardware ID etc... rather than recording a sequence unique .exr with all items incorporated in each frame.

    I do it for flexibility, but I'm open to the idea of using the second approach above - certainly easier search and replacement of files sequences fact.

    I find the somewhat slow Extractor plugin loading several exrs sequences and even a single sequence is so much slower that other files formats I can watch other floating point options.

    I tried the new cache for exr CC 2014 files options, but it is still slow.

    Files are stored on a single 2 TB internal sata hd drive but performance seems no different when the composition of a flash ssd drive internal or ssd in another pc on the network.

    Strangely, an external drive plugged into usb 2 or 3 seems faster, after several trials but way still slower than png, tiff etc...

    Any suggestions on improving my workflow for faster feedback from EI?

    Thank you very much

    I stuck with 16-bit when possible. This has the advantage that 3D programs themselves make a conversion to integer values, and there is so little about consistent across formats and applications based on standardized assumptions like that and space sRGB and Gamma. 16 bit TIFF is quite powerful in AE. Problems with float TIFF and HDR files are pretty well planned, because all I know is no interval of fixed value defined in the file format specifications and everyone uses their own mishmash. Inevitably, you can't completely eliminate EXR, but you can book it for things you actually need as usual or motion vector passes. in my workflow certainly hacky inflate a 16-bit to 32-bit file never made much of a difference of 32-bit native files, but of course you can use subtly lit scenes al lthe night where it could be more relevant than for my reasonably evenly lit technical visualizations and motion graphics all...

  • How we prevent confirmation prompt when you delete the files of the system, i.e. thumb.db

    Whenever I try to remove a crease, a boring confirmation is poped by asking if I really want to delete a file system, I know it's just thumb.db.

    I tried the solution, but is all about how to prevent the creation of thumb.db. I want thumb.db caching to speed up the fold views, but don't want to see the dialog box remove the file system. Is there a group policy or the registry to disable the confirmation of deletion of file system?

    It is also well informed that you're going to get.  :-)  It would be the only way to disable to disassemble Windows code that handles of deleting the file change there, then replace the code in an executable file.  IOW, no.

  • How to remove buttons highlighted when viewing the PDF files in a browser?

    Hi all

    I am trying to create an interactive PDF that should be visible in a web browser. My problem is that when I view the PDF file in the browser, all the buttons are highlighted in light blue. I need this removed as a huge part of the document will be interactive. It's probably somewhat option that should turn off, but I can't seem to locate it! Any help please?

    Thank you!

    No, this is not the strong points that I want to talk to, and I guess it's part of the Chrome PDF plugin. In this case I don't think you can do something.

  • How do you keep users from creating directories deeper than 260 characters of the root of the drive?

    In Windows, it seems impossible to create/join the files with a path longer than 260 characters.

    Well, not completely: you can create these files if you create a shortcut or point a reader shared inside the path, but that's exactly how this problem gets so bad: a user creates a share X: pointing to \\myserver\longdirname\evenlongerdirname\verylongdirname\etc\verylongfilename

    then it creates a file in X:\evenlongerdirnamethanYouHaveEverSeen\SuperLongDirNameJustLongEnoughToBe260FromTheRoot

    Note: the names of directories must be long, you can also create a shorter longer string of names of directories (a\b\c\d\e\f\g...)

    now, someone trying to open this file of \\myserver fail miserable. In fact, windows behaves a bit ridiculous and sometimes silently ignores files. I've seen this happen when people copy a folder of installation deep inside a fileshare: the installation program is a DVD or CD and a subscription contains 1000 directories, some are more than 260 tank when opened from the root. Then you get really weird behaviour: files ignored!

    As 260 characters was probably very well when the disks were<10GB but="" if="" you="" have="" 1="" tb="" drive,="" it's="" not="" too="" hard="" to="" end="" up="" with="" directories="" that="" are="" way="" deeper="" than="" 260="" characters.="" so="" i="" predict="" that="" there="" will="" be="" a="" time="" soon="" where="" ntfs="" needs="" to="" be="" adapted="" to="" be="" able="" to="" use="" large="" disks="" decently.="" this="" is="" also="" made="" worse="" because="" people="" create="" files="" with="" really="" bad="" names="" (e.g.="" a="" outlook="" msg="" files="" will="" be="" called="" the="" same="" as="" its="" subject="" line,="" fun="">

    Don't tell people don't do that, I see it in my everyday environment, and it breaks a lot of programs (and then the bad programmer is blamed for drawback of Windows: "you can't even open a file named a.txt")

    Question: How do you keep the users to create a file that is > 260 characters if we take into account the root of the drive, rather than a part under?

  • When I create a photo album, how can I keep the photos to reorganize when I move it?

    I create a photo album and I move them in the order I want them.  But when I move the album to a flash drive or yet another album, they reorganize in a different order, probably by date.  How can I keep them in the same order?

    You are missing that the files have no order - the order is provided by the spectator

    In an album, the order is provided by the kind you choose photo - on a flash drive the order comes from the look at a program that on a Mac, is usually the finder - with the finder you can life files in many different ways dont par nom, date de creation by name, date created, date modified, size, etc, etc.

    So life files in a specific order, you must set the correct settings for the files and then set the viewing program correctly - the best way to see the photos in a specific order is to export (File menu ==> export) using the name sequential option, then view them by title

    My iphone 5 iOs 9.2 my photos off wifi have tend to be blurry how can I stop this to keep download when I reconnect to wifi?

    Hello Mikecici,

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    I understand that your photos will look blurry, whenever your iPhone is not connected to the Wi - Fi.  This indicates that you probably iCloud library enabled with the option of storage optimize.  If you have cellular data disabled for Photos, which would prevent photos life-size uploaded without a Wi - Fi.  To learn more about iCloud photo library, please take a look at the information in the link below.

    Can I use iCloud photo library to save space on my device?

    iCloud photo library automatically keeps all of your photos and videos in the original version, in high resolution. Follow these steps to choose how you store your photos and videos on your device:

    • On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > pictures or settings > Photos & camera, then select a storage parameter.
    • On your Mac, click on Photos > Preferences > iCloud, and select a storage parameter.

    If you turn on [device] Optimize storage, iCloud photo library manages automatically the size of your library on your device, you can make the most of your device storage and access photos more than ever. All of your original photos, full resolution and the videos are stored in iCloud while unit size versions are stored on your device. You can download original photos and videos over Wi - Fi or cell phone when you need it.

    If you turn on download original, iCloud photo library will keep your original, full resolution photos and videos on iCloud and on your device. Download the originals is the default setting for iOS devices with 5 GB free storage plan and all Mac devices.

    You need an Internet connection to access a photo original or video that is stored only in iCloud.
