MACNEWS  Still getting services error with 3.0.2. I *do* have a services folder in my user library, and there never has been a CocoThumbX service in there. I'd love to be able to get this to work, but it just won't. :(

OCHYMING  Great.

But it would be great if the icons are more discernible.

Like movies with that vertical black bars with holes for example.

So the file extension would not be necessary to be on.

B0B  An Error Occured

Can not install or register the new CocoThumbX Service. Please go to ~/Library/Services and delete the CocoThumbX service manually.

Then restart CocoThumbX

on launch after updating from an older version. I don't have a ~/Library/Services folder on my Mac. Where is the service installed?

OSX 10.4.9

SJK  Simple workaround for that error:

• Manually create ~/Library/Services

When you relaunch CocoThumbX after that it'll copy CocoThumbXService.service to that folder.

HENRIKTEKNIK  I like this!

I just wish I had an option to save the icon thumbnail when you choose the Save Icns option.

That way you would not have to go back to CocoThumb and choose Add Thumbnail once again, on the just saved .Icns file.

This would replace Iconverter completely for me.

COLOURGRAVITY  Great app - really useful - but broken since the Quicktime 7.1.3 update. Hopefully the developer's working on a fix...

SVEN JANSSEN  Broken?

i have not received any emails that CocoThumbX does not work with QT 7.1.3.

And i've got no problem on my own iMac G5 using CTX with the newest QT version.

And please do not post any feedback about crashes here. Send me an email with the crashreport to my account.

PECOS  really great work ! previously i used PictoIcon or ThumbsUp, or even Pinki... but this is definitely the best app for creating thumbs icon right like photoshop icons, I.E. with beautifull shadows !

reasonably fast, and it works perfectly well on macintel under rosetta (macmini OSX.4.6...)

thanks for this work, and maybe an universal binary release for soon ?

DECKEDA  magosilvan --- Yes of course you could always later replace QT 7.01 with QT 7.04.

Everyone --- Despite what Sven says, the crippled CocoThumbX 2.2 update for 7.04 users still results in a crash when an image or folder is dropped on it..

But I got it to work with QT 7.04 by first launching CocoThumbX and UNCHECKING "Run task in Thread."

SVEN JANSSEN  i don't know, but with some installations from Quicktime 7.0.4 on some user Macs, QT does not return the version string. So CocoThumbX can not figure out what QT version installed on the Mac.

So CocoThumbX can not disable the option by it self.

But as you can see, after disabling the option, CocoThumbX works without a crash.

I don't know why Apple has made this change, but IMHO thois s...

Hope that Apple will readd this option to QT 7.0.5

Best
