Thumbnails no longer display.

[liquidtrance123]

Ok last week everything was fine. Tonight I just noticed when I goto my Desktop Pictures folder, none of my wallpapers are showing up as thumbnails. I remember a few days ago I had to reset the default opening program back to "preview" as another application took over. Preview was faster so I set Preview back to default application. Well now some wallpapers show thumbnails but most do not. Like 3 of my 20 wallpapers are showing thumbnails. I looked at permissions, and settings under "Get Info" but I can see no difference. Did I change a setting somewhere and it killed some thumbnail association somewhere?

Thanks

Try opening the files in Preview and closing them again.

The solution rainman gave you just works with one picture at a time... a little slow is you ask me .
To get them all fixed: right click (or ctrl click) on the picture, select Open with - other ; you'll get a list of programs. Select Preview, and check the "Always use this application" box that's on the bottom. Then hit Accept, and that's it.

Here's how to fix this:

step 1: go to user's library and remove launchservices.plist
step 2: go to system's library, then caches and remove any and all launchservices files
step 3: reboot
step 4: ...
step 5: profit.

I owe you a beer thanks a bunch
I wonder why the files started opening in ColorSync Utility to begin with?! hmm

Thanks again!
