Darned if I know, John, and I don't know what program you normal use for photos, but I've had similar problems with photos showing up in the Finder as just generic app icons. What fixed them for me was to open each one, make an indiscernible change and save. The photos then would show up in Finder as proper thumbnails. Go figure. --- On Sun, 8/16/09, John Maynard <jmaynard1969@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: Not sure if it's a setting somewhere but I have a few thousand photos on my drives, both nef and jpegs. All photos view fine when using preview but just appear as icons with using the icon view or cover flow. I had no problems viewing these before, just not sure what I have done to disable viewing these pictures. --- MUGLO information at <http://www.freewebs.com/muglo> Manage your account options at <//www.freelists.org/cgi-bin/lsg2.cgi>
