Weird Picture Library Folder After Gimp 2.6 Install
Mar 27, 2011
if this issue is Gimp related or not, I just noticed it a few days after installing Gimp 2.6.
Their is a weird folder named "WINDOWSTEMPDIR_FONTCONFIG_CACHE" in my Pictures Library. After searching I haven't been able to determine what this folder is for or why it was created. Is it OK to delete it or should I move it, leave it alone or what?
I used to have folders with a display of pictures on the front. Now I have plain folders, when opened, they have an icon to click and the a large picture shows up. I would like to open the folder and see the thumbprints immediately. Toshiba Satellite running Win 7.
I just installed Win7 and installed the updates (recommended ones and critical ones) then I proceeded to go to sleep.Today I noticed on my biggest partition (I have one for the OS plus the 100+mb one it creates itself and one more for movies, games, etc named K) I have a folder named e8cdef2aaf8f6997dd.I remember this type of folder is left behind when .NET Framework is installed because the installer does not clean the temp folders after installation. However, there was something strange with it - within it there are some installers as well as other updates (please check the image with the contents of it).What I'm asking is, can I delete it? is it really just a temp folder or do I need to install them manually? cause I tried and it said the net framework 4 client was installed previously and that I cannot continue the installation until I clear the other installation and start from the beginning..
Where are the REAL picutes you download stored? I'm confused about the library.. I download a set of pics and the file is named the date. Then when I have time, I have tried to go in and set up folders, by year 2011, Month, or activity such as folder named 'Holiday's that would be in the 2011 folder... when I move the pis to a newly created folder to organize them all, it freaks out and gives me some error message! It seems then the pictures are lost or unaccesable because they were moved. Am I not allowed to touch these, and orgainze once downloaded? those that undestand where I am coming from and can tell me how it work and what to do.
understanding the 50 folder limitation of Windows 7 Libraries. Using Google, I found this:[URL]That post claims that there is a distinction between "parent" folders and "standard" folders (which can, perhaps, be called subfolders). So here are 2 sample Library structures:
Family Photos Library Old Family Photos folder [INDENT]Many subfolders* [INDENT][INDENT]Many files each subfolder* Current Family Photos folder
How can I add a folder on a network share to my library? I get an error saying that the network share needs to be indexed. But I can't find a way to turn this on.
I'm on a domain, and I have my home drive (H, and I want the folder inside called Documents added to my library (and then set as default save location).
I realize that it takes 8-10 seconds to open up a picture when i want to click on it to view it. I do not have such problem with Vista and Window XP. Is this a new problem??
I just loaded Win 7 pro and in my pictures library I have a folder path that goes to no where. It was a folder in my external drive that no longer exists . The problem is when I tried to do a back up it failed and said it was because the folder path was missing. I tried to delete the folder but it will not let me.
Saved it to access it easily, actually it's the email itself (the icon is an nveloppe) I sent to a library folder, i can't delete it. I tried to send it elsewhere, it sends a copy of itself but won't delete: every copy is NOT deletable.
My mother just told me about a problem she's been having accessing her documents folder. I looked into it and could not access anything from the documents library. This is the error I get when I try to open the library: But I found the documents folder in the Pictures library: It won't let me put the documents folders back in the library. How can I do this?
I have a problem when I click on a particular folder in my computer. (I don't have to open it, I only have to select it).I get an error message from Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library saying, 'This application has requested the Runtime to terminate in an unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information'. The application (which I assume is Windows Explorer), has to restart. I have no problems selecting any other folders.The problem folder is on my external hard drive, which hasn't been connected for a couple of weeks. But I then found that the error occurred on that folder's copy on the internal drive. (The two drives are not synced - I had simply made a back-up copy about a month ago).
I logged onto my computer this morning and instead of getting the normal taskbar and being able to do what I want, my Libraries folder popped up and I got no taskbar. I can't use any keys or shortcuts on my keyboard. Only the mouse and open programs through the folder window. There was no error message in the booting process and it was fine last night.
Some picts in my library have gone missing, sort of. One of the folders holds 11 subfolders and the picts in these don't show. The folders show 0 bytes. If I open Kodak Easyshare these picts show for a split second so I know they are somewhere. What can I do to restore them to the original location?
I am trying to share my MUSIC folder on my Windows Home Server (WHS) to my Music Library.
Pretty simply structure, so thought this should not be a problem. If I add the entire folder to the Library only 1/3 of my songs are listed. In trying to understand what is happening I found that only 2 of the 5 sub-folders under MUSIC are included (Songs1 and Songs5).
Starting over, I removed the "MUSIC" folder from the Library and then proceeded to add each sub-folder indivually. What I found is I could add 2 sub-folders (Songs1 and Songs5), but adding the other 3 sub-folders returned an error message, "this network location can't be included because it is not indexed". If I add any new folder under MUSIC I can't add it to the Library either.
I'm thinking this has to be some type of security or user issue but can't think of what it would be since some of the sub-folders under MUSIC can be recognized, while others, including new folders, can not be added. Anyone have any suggestions?
I have my "pictures" folder on a separate disk drive and have set Libraries to include it. However, I still have Microsoft's My Pictures folder and can't get rid of it. As a result, many applications get confused and save files to the wrong folder or I loose files myself.How can I modify the default Library to point ONLY to my chosen folder and not the defaults please? Or alternatively, get rid of the MS default library system completely as I HATE being forced to be organised like this by MS when no alternative is offered that works!
I dont use libraries and dont like the way that you cant have indivual folder views with them. So when I click on the start menu and have the links for 'music, pictures, video etc' i would like it to link straight to the root folder and not to the library
Basically my friend asked me to install seven on his laptop for him so that it would dual boot his current os and seven. Both are 32 bit so thats ok. The laptop is an Acer Aspire 5920, and had two partitions on the laptop when I looked at it. The main one was for vista and it was called ACER. The second seemingly has no purpose and he never used it and was called DATA. So I thought that it would be easy enough, just format the DATA partition and install seven on it.
So I started up the win-7 install disc and installed it to the DATA partition after formatting it with the win-7 partitioning tools. This was ok and at the end of installation it wanted to restart and I let it. It then rebooted and completed setup. This should be it done. So I removed the disc and booted like normal, the windows boot manager came up like ususal giving me the choice of what os to boot into, so I booted into vista to check it was all right. It was. So then I decided I would go ahead and set up his user and all for him so I booted into seven. I managed to set it up and it once again (like normal) wanted to restart. So it did...
But now it boots past the bios screen and nothing appears. Even after 10 minutes nothing loads. Only a single underslash i.e. _ flashes. (EDIT: This is the BSOD!) The bootloader doesn't even appear! Just the underslash! I have never encounted this problem before and I am extremely confused as to why this has happened! I tried the install again but the same result came up.
I Have a Dell XPS 9100, with Windows 7 Home Premium Edition.After I download a pix from my camera, then change the orienation with a counterclockwise turn, i cannot locate the pixture in the folder, it disappears. The pix seems to be there becuase the file count for the folder remains the same, but i cant see the pix anymore.
When I save images they go to my download folder, after a while I then transfer and organize the picture files in my pictures folder.Sometimes though, some pictures have the same file name even though it's not the same picture. And other times there are duplicate files of the same picture. I copy and paste into the folder and usually select manually whether to move and replace, don't move and don't replace, or move and keep both files. But when it's 1000 files it can be tedious. I would like to only have one single copy of a picture.
I literally have no idea how I did this, one accidental click, it said something about folders..? :S I have folders, I thought I managed to successfully get rid of this particular photo folder options but it ended up anhilating all my pictures - and somehow (yes, I see the pattern) I brought them all back, but I cannot get rid of this eye sore - the issue, ever since then, it's slown down my photo saving process, in Photofiltre, it refuses to save certain photos, it's slown down my online photo editing, and even Photoscape.
I go to my library and I see Videos, Documents & Music but NO Pictures. When I save a picture from the internet it takes me to the folder automatically, here I can see all my pictures. However when I try and find the Picture library on my laptop it cannot be found?It was there about a week ago. I performed a SYSTEM RESTORE which did not resolve the matter. I also tried "Restore default Library"
win 7 Paint just doesnt cut muster for editing. i need something that can edit .bmp pixels like XP Paint used to be able to do.(there's this lamp-post i could not avoid and would like to get rid of / old cracked picture needs the cracks doctored)Looking at an expired thread, both Paint.net and Gimp were mentioned.
Is it possible with Win7 to change any picture (Jpeg, png, bmp etc) into an icon file to use for a folder image?I just realised that its not an actual folder... its a shortcut which has a folder as an icon, Its actually a shortcut to a folder on another drive, but I'd still like to change it to an image I choose.
On various pictures, I've seen it read the XMP "Title" tag, the EXIF "Description" or "User Comment" tag, the IPTC "Caption" tag, even Keywords or Sub-categories.
So my question is, what's the limit to it all? I would think that "Title" would only display a metadata tag with a similar name, like XMP DublinCore Title, or, if it could only find its IPTC counterpart in a file, Fixture Identifier. I suppose that when you don't give yourselves all that much space to work with, as is the case with the bottom panel of a Windows 7 Explorer window, doubling- and tripling-up like this can be considered practical. Maybe I haven't looked far & wide enough. All the same, I think that a tooltip or some easily-gotten-at description of the fields in that bottom 3/5 of the window would be more than enough to satisfy one's curiosity.
I won't add mischief to misery and ask "Why was this done?" as I've already partly come up with a reasonable answer myself (available space within the bounds of the window). I'll just ask if anyone else has been curious about this, and if so, invite them to comment here on this thread.
