| Images Open in Quicktime If you have the Quicktime player, you may have noticed that some images open there and will not open in I.E. If the image is embeded in code no problem is noticed but when trying to display the "Raw" image, Quicktime takes over. While lurking around in the groups and harvesting whatever information I can that seems helpful I ran across a post about that very thing. Hopefully this will get your "Raw" images back in I.E...... ######################################## ######################################## Microsoft Internet Explorer in OSX has a bit of a problem displaying PNG files. The seem to work fine when embedded into HTML document, but when you attempt to view them "raw" (e.g. dropping a file onto the window, or browsing a FTP site) they will not load. While at first this appears to be a bug in MSIE, it's actually linked to the Apple Quicktime plugin, which will override IE's default settings! I'm not really sure if this is the fault of Apple or MS, but here's how to fix it. Step 1: Go into the Quicktime control panel in System Preferences. Under the plug-in section, click the "MIME Settings..." button. Expand the "images" category, and deselect the "PNG image file" option. This tells the quicktime plugin you no longer wish it to attempt to seize authority over PNG images in your web browser. Now you are finished with this step, so click OK to save your changes and exit System Preferences. Step 2: Launch IE and go into the preferences. Go to the "File Helpers" category. Sort by extension, so you can find the two (2) ".png" categories (titled "PNG Image [image/x-png]" and "Portable Network Graphic [image/png]"). Edit both these (click "change") in the last category "Handling", change to "View with Browser" for each. Once you have done both, click OK to exit preferences. Thanks to Matthew for this great info!! Do it Raw !! |
