CocoThumbX for Mac3.1

I love this app but since is only 32-bit I would like to find a comparable one. Thank you.

v3.1 available here in 7zip to save space: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/447272/CocoThumbX.app.7z

Dead Link. Program is GONE

I'm thankful to see that there are developers such as this that are providing thumbnail creator apps... but... why do the thumbnails for 'full image' preference appear blurry? This never happened when I used QuickImageCM (no longer supported in SnowLeopard).

Tested on Leopard (v. X.5.8 - Intel) and it is working fine here. Many thanks. :)

Fantastic in every way, unfortunately I cannot get it to create Thumbnails for WMV files though I have Flip4Mac installed.

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. :(

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.

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

The only one I know doing it for and from Text-Files (RTF...), too! And it does it in a great way!!!! Thanks a lot!

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.

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

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 ?

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."

I don't understand if I can install again QT 7.0.4 after reinstalling QT 7.0.1. Thank you Sven magosilvan

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.

Seems to be broken by the latest QuickTime or OS update (QT 7.0.4 or OS X 10.4.4). It was working until I updated.

I drop 20 111 images (small jpegs). Not only the soft didn't crash, but it did the job very very well. Bravo !

Download site 2 above file is listed as version 1.9.1??? Love the app btw : )

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

I almost left without saying THANK YOU! As everyone else has been saying... Great piece of software. Brillant and easy to use. Again, THANKS for making this free! Mike

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)

Brilliantly simple. Thanks for great freeware.

WOW, this little app does EXACTLY what you want it to do and it does it quickly, quietly, cleanly and it works like a freakin' CHAMP!!! Get it, use it, and definitely make a donation to this guy 'cause he deserves it, big time! AAA+ rating, big "thumbs up" from me!!! (Get it? It makes thumbnails and I gave it a "thumbs up"! Har! ;-)

BEST ICON TOOL EVER! And a great support! Thank u very much Sven!

really handy and useful tool for creating thumbnails. thanks for providing this free tool. highly recommend this application.

Thank you Mr. developer, for this great and productive application!

Awesome little util. Thanks for the fine freeware!

Great to see HFS Type/Creator support in this version. Works great.

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.

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!

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?

I love it. It works well, it's tiny but really useful ... and moreover free. A great application! Thanks to the author

Works beautifully!

Well done. Support for Adobe's DNG files would be a nice addition.

LOVE THIS APP! Fast, stable and does exactly as promoted. Way to go Sven! many thanks!

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