CocoThumbX3.1

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

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

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."

After downloading and installing the ReInstaller for Quicktime from Apple http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/quicktime701reinstallerforquicktime704.html CocoThumbX works as it should. Best Sven Janssen

v2.2 Still Crashes Every Time on 10.4.4!!!!

CT 2.2 isn't opening for me under OS X 10.4.4 -- previous version worked fine.

Each time that I start CocoThumbs I get the spinning beach ball for about 30 seconds. I have repaired permissions, but still no change. OS X 10.4.3, Quicktime Pro 7.0.3, Version 2.1

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)

what i meant is that none of the other apps leave photoshop files alone. They all "erase" their icons. This would be a 'stand-out' addition to cocoathumbs.

Reduced Anti-Aliasing, why?

Nice little app. Too bad, it doesn't look at the meta-data of a file without extension, however.

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?

Started to use it instead of QuickImageCM which takes a while to load from context menu if a number of files are selected. However, the thumbs created with QuickImageCM are decidedly sharper so I'll switch back

Hmmm...someone wanting to collect royalties on a concept idea, from a guy who offers his software for free...? Perhaps this user should buy a PC?

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 ;)

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?

Great software does exactly as advertised, though if it were possible to have .eps support then we would love you. Cheers, Simon
