If you work with Adobe Photoshop, even half as much as you say you do.. I’m sure by now you may have noticed that you are unable to view thumbnails of PSD files in Windows Explorer. For some unknown reason, Adobe has decided it’s best to just remove this particular functionality for Photoshop users. How amazingly thoughtful of them.
So, if you’re like me and decide you don’t want to have to open a Photoshop, or the Adobe browser, everytime you want to view a thumbnail of a PSD file.. read on.
Here’s a quick, and easy, method of adding the ability to view thumbnails of .psd files without opening (or heck, even installing!) Adobe Photoshop.
- First, you need to download the necessary PSD Thumbnail Shell DLL file.
- UnZip the psdthumbnaildll.zip file you just downloaded, and copy that file to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Shell\ (if it doesn’t exist yet, create it).
- Download and run this registry file. It will add the necessary changes to your registry to allow the Shell to access the new Adobe DLL.
- Restart your system.
- …
- PSD THUMBNAILS!
If you run into this error:
cp: cannot stat `compile/svscan’: No such file or directory
Look in the src/ directory of the Daemontools folder. Open the file called error.h.
In that file, look for the line…
extern int errno;
Change it to say…
#include <errno.h>
Now go back to the Daemontools folder and run package/install to install.
If it’s successful you should see:
Creating /service…
Adding svscanboot to inittab…
init should start svscan now.

After recently upgrading my 1.1.6 version of SMF to 1.1.9 and having issues with that upgrade, I decided to just go ahead and upgrade to 2.0 RC1 since I’ve been running it on several forums with great success. After a successful upgrade, I tried testing the registration process and the captcha images were not showing. A few minutes later I tried a test post with an attachment and the result was a blank page. I posted another test post without an image and tried modifying it afterward and loading an attachment. That resulted in another blank page. After searching around, I found this code snippet that cured both issues.
