Hi All,

I wonder if anyone out there can help me.
Since installing Tiger on my Ibook G4, the preview does not work anymore. Even when if I do "ctrl Click" on a photo for exemple, the menu offers me Preview as the first option, I click on it and nothing happens.
Would anyone know how to fix this ?

Thanks,
Redmaddiver

Search for Preview (Apple f) and trash the plist. If that doesn't work, can try downloading Pacifist and grabbing Preview from your install disks and replacing the older version.

When I do plist in the finder (apple f), I found hundreds of .plist whould I delete them all ?

You only delete the preferences file for Preview (called com.apple.Preview.plist).

If you search for Preview, you get only one plist. That's the one to trash.

it's not there unfortunately...I can see a com.apple....for most aplication but not for preview....

When I do Apple f "preview" I find the Preview application. You don't want me to delete this...?

Then you should try Pacifist and extract the application from the install disks.

Ok I will. One last question ? what is Pacifist ? and where can I find it ?
Thanks a lot for your help.

No worries, I have found it ! Did it all and preview is working again !
Thanks a lot for your help on this. Preview is a really cool thing when it works....
