• display icons instead of thumbnails for images Vista

  About a week ago Windows stopped properly building and then display thumbnails for all my photos.  I am running Vista 64 bit SP2.  I tried all the answers that I could find on the internet.  My FOLDER OPTIONS are all properly to show the pictures and icons, etc.  I also deleted and tried to rebuild my miniature database through Cleandisk and also removing the stamp (PD4) file.  Nothing seems to work.  When I open a folder to view Windows will show thumbnails for a second 1/2 approximately and then return to show only icons...  Everyone finds another fix for this?  I also tried a restore until this problem is occurred and who also had no effect.

  Make sure you have your opinion... overall set for tiles.
  This setting is the Folder Options / tab / apply to all folders...

  No guarantee... but the following article may be worth a visit:

• Xperia z3 foto widget display the broken image icons instead of thumbnail/preview image

  Initially, I used my Z3 without SD card. Any word very well: album AND the foto widget that allows to navigate through the photos.

  After

  -installing an SD card,

  -changing the location for newly taken photos on SD card

  - AND by moving some pictures of other directories-

  - AND the creation of a number of files .nomedia on these directories to make these photographs appear not not in the album, nor in the foto widget.

  foto widget displays an icon of a broken image for all photos taken prior to this change. All new photos appear in the widget and app album.

  I delete the file data and the album (in album settings - all apps) cache-.

  It does nothing (so far).

  How can I force the app/widget album to recreate its database and preview/thumbnails?

  Thank you very much.

  M ~.

  Working solution for the following:

  Order the soft MediaStorage
  Settings > Apps > all > storage media (FROM: Medienspeicher) "App Info" > stop App

  Data deleted from the App MediaStorage
  Settings > Apps > all > storage media (FROM: Medienspeicher) 'App Info' > clear data

  Restarted the application (via MyPhoneExplorer) or by rebooting the phone.

  The process appears in the form "android.process.media" in the list of processes (not sure, I guess) android

  To provide a treatment could turn the endurance mode or add "MediaStorage" to the list of exceptions of runing apps background even in mode stamania.

  (> a) how long it would take to recreate the database and photos? The directory of the main image (DCIM on the SD card) contains > almost 1000 photos).

  A: it is __NOT__ take very long. For my 1000 + pictures and a few videos is was a matter of minutes to see the widget started foto avatars correctly and see the album recovers very quickly. If you reach a corner of the album or the photo images widget still not recovered, the image appears rather quickly.

  (>) b where residing the .thumbnails directory? -After accepts the SD - be - it in/storage/sdcard1/DCIM or > in/storage/sdcard0/DCIM as it was before the installation of the SD card?

  R: it seems that the .thumbnails directory still resides on the internal memory (i.e./storage/sdcard0/DCIM). This is at least the case for my phone.

  It also seems that .thumbnails files are ONLY used for the foto widget for the App album someone could confirm?

  (> c) how to either force the media scanner to run and update the widget photos foto and the album database / see/check that

  > it runs.

  Stop the MediaStorage process, clear data from this application and start it again again and keep visiting the widget from the album and or foto.

  See you soon,.

• Windows 7, I get icons instead of photos on the photos

  I have two programs 'Cricut Design Studio' and "4 D embroidery system" both of which show the program icon to the thumbnail instead of the thumbnail image itself.  I spent 4 hours on the phone with HP support yesterday (since my copy of Windows 7 is an OEM product) - they were unable to correct the problem.  I encounter this same problem on my new desk that has Windows 7 on it.  I tried all the usual bugs - eg. in folder options always unchecking "show icons not thumbnails" and both checking and unchecking "Display the file on the photos icon" - also in the control panel under advanced system, system, Advanced tab settings, settings of Preformance, make sure the 'show thumbnails instead of icons' is checked.
  I have XP on my old desktop computer - program icons display the photos on the thumbnails correctly on this computer.
  I can load these files on a USB stick, plug this jump in my Windows 7, and the files on the jump show thumbnails correctly.  If I transfer the files on computers with Windows 7 on them, they become icons of the program (instead of photos of the file).  In Windows 7, I have all the updates, and both programs I can't see pictures on the thumbnails have the latest updates also and are fully compatible with Windows 7.
  It is a real problem for me because I work with these files (more than 10,000 of them) every day.  Many file names are numbers only, so without the pictures, I can't say which file to open.  Help, please!

  The size of the icon file must be medium or large for the thumbnails to display. Small icons won't show generic thumbnail of the thw.

  There must be also installed codecs to generate thumbnails for file types.

• My new Photoshop elements 12 has a RAW plugin file, but when I try to OPEN a photo, there is only generic icons instead of pictures - I can't say one photograph of another! How can I remedy I can't tell what picture I want to open?

  PSE 12 is expected to open these files.

  If get you just one, it opens in the dialog box camera raw in the 12 PES Editor?

  If you use file > open in the editor of PES 12 and click on one of the files you see a preview at the bottom of the open dialog box image?

  You can also install the microsoft camera codec pack, so you can see the thumbnails in windows Explorer

• Since the update of the 16 to 17, shortcuts to office created by dragging show generic Windows icon instead of the Firefox-page icon.

  During the upgrade of the FF 16 or 17, I can always drag the icon that is to the left of the url on the desktop (or even quick launch of XP, shortcuts to files, etc.) to create an internet shortcut to the current page. However, with 17 this method produces a shortcut that shows a generic Windows icon instead of a Firefox-page icon. Even if a generic Windows icon shows normally "no associated program," these always open with FF when double-clicked. But it does not look good. (BTW, all of the shortcuts created by this method in FF 16 or less preserved the FF-page 17 updated icon.)

  No idea why this has changed and how to fix it so that it looks the same as before?

  Pending the resolution of the present (and another question) I went back to 16 FF, and it works normally again. However, shortcuts that were created while I had 17 always display the generic Windows icon.

  fixed in Firefox 21 - this old thread from blocking

• photos, pictures are icons instead of photos. How to fix?

  When I write e-mail using WIndows Mail and to include photos, I choose Insert, file - and then the file opens with all these pictures.  I see small thumbnails to know what image I want to send.  I do not know what setting changed, but now when I look at the files, they are not thumbnails of my photos, but just the photo number and the icon (of any program is defined by default for images).  Should what setting I change to recover my thumb nails?  Thank you.

  (1) open your my pictures location, click on organize in the upper left corner, click folder and search options, click the view tab and uncheck the top option, always display icons and never thumbnails, select apply and save.

• How to make a slideshow with points of flipping instead of thumbnails?

  Just try to understand how this is done.  I used no Muse in a long time and it looks like I'm missing something. So far all I've found is you just to move the tile out of the mask, and then change the mask to a multi-state button.  Is this correct?

  Hello JeffSeal,

  You are right. I can think of these 2 options mentioned below.

  Option 1:

  • Create slide show widget.
  • enable thumbnails of the widget options panel.
  • Select the thumbnail > Double click on the tile and the tile will be surrounded by the red border.
  • Drag and drop it on the page.
  • Now, select the transparent thumbnail and change it as a point.

  Option 2:

  Use a composition rather than the slide show widget where you will be able to create the trigger and the tile.

  Points instead of thumbnails in slide shows

  Kind regards
