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. :(

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.

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

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 Sven Janssen

SVEN JANSSEN To Every one: This happens because my webprovider has some problems. CocoThumbX looks at software.stalkingwolf.de/cocothumbx if there is a new version available. Disable the option "Check for Updates" in the preferences. i'm going to fix that for the next version.

M One of the best free apps for OSX! I use it everyday. I have a few suggestions though :) Would it be possible to put a button in the toolbar that collapses the window down to just the "Drop your files here" section. Most of the time I use the same settings on the right side of the window, and it would be less intrusive on the desktop if it were possible to hide these options. Also, I know that you listed 10.4 as the requirements, but I thought I'd let you know that it works on 10.3.9 as well - the only problem I've found is that it often crashes when I drag images onto the dock icon. Aside from these issues, it's a great program. Keep up the good work! (ibook, 1.2 GHz G4, 10.3.9)

(Version 1.9.1) | |

ARVIDTP really coool, but one thing that would really make this app stand out is if it just left layered photoshop files in a folder alone, instead of replacing their already nice icons with the white "Saved without a composite image" screen haha. None of the other thumbnail apps do this, and I would like to be able to just drop my pictures folder on cocoathumbs with no worries that it would effectively remove the icons from all my layered photoshop files. Thanks!

ANONYMOUS I'm really happy you implemented icon creation from text files, but I'm rather disappointed in how you changed the way it hands .pdf files. Prior to 1.7, PDF icons would show the ENTIRE first page, like Preview does in the drawer, but now it's just a small snippet of the upper left hand corner. Maybe you could keep text file generation in everything the way it is, but return PDF files to how they were?

ANONYMOUS I'm not expecting anyone do this, for it would be too difficult (I only assume it would be, I'm not developer), or too CPU intensive: Allow it to make thumbnails of text files and .doc files, etc. How? It opens the file for a split second, takes a screenshot of the file within the window, closes the program, and shrinks that image to 128x128. That'd be great. :-) P.S. You would owe me royalties if you did that, it's my idea ;)

PAUL It doesn't always get every one of the images I tell it to. When I repeat the function with the image it didn't work on, it says it works, but there is no result in the finder. I also remember a time when I was converting an image back and forth, and suddenly, it changed to the Mac OS default thumbnail, and wouldn't be allowed to convert again. What's the deal with this behaviour; is it the finder or CocoThumbX? Anyone?

SVEN JANSSEN Sometimes the Finder behaves very strange. So maybe after restart the Finder will show the Icon. But maybe the file is read only. So CocoThumbX can not change the icon. Enable the error log in the preference panel. And create the thumbnail again. Or please create an archiv of this file and send it to me via email. Sven Janssen
