Add ability to change height of Adjustments Panel

The Adjustments panel is a great addition! However, I'm finding its fixed height to be hogging scarce screen space. I would like to be able to resize the panel as I can do with other panels such as Layers/Paths/Channels. I would often hide the window showing presets. In fact, perhaps simply a control, "Hide/Show Presets" would work. I don't want to close the entire panel because I want the collection of adjustment icons to be visible. I'm using them often. I do not use the presets often (yet).
On my 15" laptop, by the time I have the Adjustments and Layers panels open, there is no room left for essentials such as Histogram/Info/Navigator.

For those of you bothered by the new Adjustments Panel, I just want to let you know what I am doing and see if you might want to try it.
I pulled the Adjustments Panel out onto my image and I leave it there. I condense it to the mini-icon when I don't want to see it but the interesting thing is that most of the time the mini-icon doesn't even show.
If I select a new or existing adjustments layer from the layers panel, the Adjustments Panel just pops back up on top of the image. For me this is a good compromise between the way it used to work and the way it works now. I have the benefits (being able to change blend mode with the adjustments dialog still up, for example) but without the penalties (space in my panels area). I think it is also a good option for dual-screen users and users who like to have things like Curves right on top of the image where they don't have to be shifting their eyes.
Anyway, thought I would share. :)

Setting a fixed width and a changing height for a component within a panel

Alright guys here's my next question. I'm now having trouble trying to figure out how to only resize the height of a JTabbedPane yet keep the width fixed. In other words, as the JPanel its in changes in size, I'd like to have the width of my tabbed pane stay a certain value yet let the height of it adjust to the panel's height as it changes. Is there a way to somehow extract the panel's height into a int or something and then when using the setPreferredSize() function simply implement this retrieved value into the function's height parameter? I've tried messing around with Dimensions and getHeight() functions and the sort but to no success. For instance, within the constructor of one of my JFrames using System.out.println(this.getHeight()); prints 0, when of course this is not the case in reality for the frame's height. The panel's changing size is due to the user resizing the window its in. In one of my previous threads in this forum I learned how to use a GridLayout (it was 2 rows and 1 column in size) to keep the height of the top area in a BorderLayout fixed, yet as the user resized the window, the layout would stretch the area width-wise accordingly. However, that was because I had 2 cells in the layout to control, and I know this wouldn't work with only 1. Any ideas?

You still apparently haven't read the tutorial on using Layout Managers to understand the capabilites of each Layout Manager.
For instance, within the constructor of one of my JFrames using
System.out.println(this.getHeight()); prints 0, when of course this is not the case in reality for the frame's heightComponents don't have a size until the GUI is visible on the screen. That is until you've done a pack(), or a setVisible( true ). You should never be using setSize().
Layout Managers use setPreferredSize() ,setMinimumSize() and setMaximumSize() as suggestions for determining the layout. Although most layout managers don't use all the suggestions, which is why you need to read the tutorial to find out how the layout managers work.
I'm now having trouble trying to figure out how to only resize the height
of a JTabbedPane yet keep the width fixedWell, I don't understand the requirement. The preferred size of a tabbed pane is equal to the preferred size of the largest tab added to the tabbed pane. So I don't understand the concept of artificially changing the vertical height.
Anyway reread the tutorial on "How to Use the Border Layout". Two of the 5 areas respect the width of the component but alter the height to fill all the available space.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

Change Height of Web Resource to Get Rid Of Blank and Scroll Bar

Hi, I am a junior CRM developer. I'm using CRM online.
I wrote a HTML web resources. In Web Resource Properties, I set the Number of Rows as 20.
But the problem is: If the form window are maximized, there will be blank under web resource; if the form windows become smaller, there will be a scroll bar on the side.
I want get rid of blank and scroll bar, automatically change height according to the size of the window.
I tried checkbox "Automatically expand to use available space", but it didn't work.
I don't think add CSS to my HTML will work, because CSS in HTML will change the html height, not the container in CRM.
Thank you in advance.

How to add a Description Column in the Content Panel (Bridge CS5)

Hi,
Is it possible to add a Description Column in the Content Panel. If so, how?
I'm talking about the Description from the IPTC Core data and I'm using Bridge CS5.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

This is the screenshot of the Metadata Workspace with the Content Panel (not Metadata Panel). As you can see it shows Name, Label, Keywords etc. but it's not possible to show Description in that list as a column.
I still agree that it would be a big bonus if you could alter this workspace with description field (even with more lines etc) but what Curt shows you might be an alternative. I couldn't help noticing that you have not created your own custom workspaces.
Try and play with this. You have the option to divide the window in 3 columns max but you can create different panels as a row in 1 column.
Grabbing a tab and move it to a new location until a single blue line appears (between the borders, a bit tricky). A vertical blue line means as a column and a horizontal line means a row. A surrounding blue line means same panel but adding as a tab. You can rearrange the tabs by dragging to left or right. under the menu window you can select which panels are visible or use right mouse click menu on top of a panel to choose.
Sadly enough only 3 columns and only one panel of it's kind per workspace, but you can resize the panels also to your own workflow needs.
In Bridge preferences you can change the colors for background in the general tab and in the metadata tab you can select what info to view in certain sections. Personally I have set my IPTC to view only description, keywords, date created and a few other subjects.
That is the nice thing about Bridge, creating custom workspaces, save them and being able to recreate them without problems :-)
I attach some screenshot of my daily workflow (with the luxury of having a 30' screen) but there are plenty of other options possible, don't forget to name and save your workspace.

PanelStretchLayout: change height of the top facet

Hi,
I've defined a panelStretchlayout panel. In the top facet I've placed a ShowPanelHeader. What I now wanted to do is to change the height of top facet each time the showpanelheader is disclosed. Just to show some data.
I've defined a disclosurelistener and I check when the disclosure event isExpanded() then the height should change.
This is code:
if (disclosureEvent.isExpanded() == true)
{ getPanelStretchLayout1().setTopHeight(300);
getShowDetailHeader1().setInlineStyle("height:200px; width:300px;"); }
else
{ getPanelStretchLayout1().setTopHeight(55);
getShowDetailHeader1().setInlineStyle("height:55px; width:100px;");
However nothing happens. Does anyone has a idea how it should work ?

UIManager.put() is changing height of all tabs but i want to change height of only selected tab. Then you probably need to write your own TabbedPaneUI.

Aperture 3.3 after recent upgrade doesn't show icons in colour and I noticed the adjustments panel seems a bit different from the previous update.

I updated about a week ago an now all the icons are no longer in colour (ie, project, smart album etc) Really liked to see them in colour because it helped me sort more easily. Also, I seem to be missed my quick adjustments panel like auto adjust. I checked the aperture preferences but could not find anyway to correct.
Any suggestions?
Melissa T.

Thanks Frank. Once I posted, I was able to find all the other discussions regarding this. I don't have time to manually change what Apple should have put into preferences. Will manage with it the way it is and send a request to Apple for future updates.
Best regards,

Adjustments Panel Useless Now?

Ive been using cs6 at work and at home and I used to use adjustments panel a lot. However it doesnt really do anything anymore (i use layers window for creating adjustment effects anyway) now that property window is available. Should adjustments window be taken away? Or should properties? None? If so why?
Also while im here i should also say that theres a bug i get at work on cs6 but now at home. I try to create a color balance adjustment layer and it will keep creating a levels. I think this is only one a file by file basis though because sometimes it does work.
One last thing, it would be nice to be able to pan around the canvas anytime I want. Cs6 auto snaps everything to the center of the canvas even more so than cs5. I can only pan if I zoom in first.

Noel, that is interesting indeed. So your main monitor is completely clean other than the Options bar? What aspect ratio is your main monitor? Mine is 1920 x 1200, and with the options bar reducing the height, I seldom have an image file that needs the full width of the screen, so I have a number of panels on fly-outs top right corner. The tool bar is probably more useful as a visual reference than to be clicked on, because Iike most everyone here, I use shortcuts, or Shift shortcut to toggle through a tool's options. Plus I have removed the shortcut from those items I never or rarely use, so I can toggle through the others more quickly. You can free up some shortcut letters that way, like H for the Hand tool (because we always use the Space bar) so H becomes available for an Action or similar.
I don't see your Adjustments panel, but I remember you saying you use the pop-up at the bottom of the Layers panel. That still leaves me wondering why your Properties panel is so far away? You've got more screen real-estate for your Histogram than for your Layers! I use my eyes for colour, and sometimes wish I had more than the full screen height for layers, (I often have a hundred plus) but I am stoked with the new layer filters. Thanks for that Adobe.
Actions. I seldom use them, and know I should. Something like expanding a selection is an irritating number of clicks, and something I use a lot. But I am far to much an image control freak to trust to one click solutions most of the time.
I'm looking at your navigator panel, and thinking I don't need the navigator tool, but I have never thought to use it as a full image preview. Now that would be useful. At the moment when I need to see full image preview while working at high zoom ratios, I have the same image tiled twice on my main screen. I have played with the idea of installing an extra graphics card so I could have a third monitor. Just a little 17inch one that could sit on my seldom used picture printer (I use an office printer for everything else).
Yes. Thanks for the ideas. I go to a lot of conferences through the various community organisations I work for, and always think the networking and exchange of ideas, is more useful than the main program.
[EDIT] I'd love to hear/see other people's ideas about workspaces and workflow.

No longer have ability to change artboard size...

Hi,
Hope you're well.
I'm working in CS6.
As I recall, you used to be able to change the artboard size when you first hit shift + O. There was a window for it at the top of the screen. Now,..for some reason that option is not there. It only gives me the ability to change the x and y coordinates. I have to double click the artboard tool to change the size of the artboard(s). How do I get back that ability?
Thanks!

So, to clarify, you simply do not have the width and height boxes shown below?

Navigation bar changes height randomly

In the last few days I've noticed that my navigation bar is changing height at random. It has increased in height (my Back arrow is now an oval) but it will blink back and forth to its correct height at will. I haven't added any extensions lately...using Windows 7, 32...FF4.0.1.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
In Firefox 4 [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
* Tools > Options > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.

How to decrease the height of the panel added at north using borderlayout m

hi!
i have problem decreasing the height of a panel that i have added in a frame at the north position uising the borderlayout manager
thanx and regards
Deepak Saini

How much do you want to decrease the panel height?
There are two limiting factors, namely the minimum computed size of its components and the layout-dependent computed size. Window resizing will 'clip' the panel, but its dimensions remain the same once this limit has been reached.
With respect to the first factor, there are only a few things that can be done: change the font or image sizes of internal components, change the spacing between components, change the borders around and within the components (where applicable).
With respect to the second factor, there is some flexibility, but it depends on what your app requires. The only way to reduce the height of a BorderLayout.NORTH panel is to force its size down by adding other panels BorderLayout.CENTER and/or BorderLayout.SOUTH in such a way that at least the CENTER panel expands out and causes the NORTH (and possibly SOUTH) panel(s) to compute to their smallest dimensions. Otherwise, the computation will expand the NORTH panel as far as it can or divide between the two or three equally (for example, if each panel only contains buttons with text). Nonetheless, by default, the CENTER panel occupies the largest region, pushing the others to the borders as tightly as possible. Do you have a CENTER panel added?

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash?

System Preferences quits suddenly. I have lost the dock, including the trash and ability to change desktop image. How can I replace this part of System Preferences? Where can I find Trash? All other aspects of System Preferences work.

just that that is one method, and lacks provision for working boot image and for an emergency - Lion gives a small minimal emergency boot environment but may lack all the utilities you need to use and run, even some drivers that your mac requires for add on PCIe.
Just grab and look through Help in Carbon Copy and SuperDuper, both excellent and each has their use - together - for cloning.
And do you have two TM backup sets? ought to consider that also, rotate daily or make a weekly set. Otherwise you are putting all your eggs in the proverbial one basket.

Flash jumps when javascript change height of container DIV

Flash jumps down, when you change(make bigger) the height of contaner DIV.
I've narrowed the problem down to the simple code
<div id="layer" style="width:700px; height:45px;" onclick="
this.style.height='225px' ">
<embed src="test.swf" wmode="transparent" width="100%"
height="100%"></embed>
</div>
No matter what SWF file is used, if you click on the flash(DIV) the
javascript will change the height of the DIV and the flash will jump
down.
The quick fix is to remove the wmode="transparent", but if I need the transparency I cannot do that.
Example - http://f-source.com/firefox4_flash_bug/

You need to add 'px' to the height:
<pre><nowiki>function resize() {
height = document.documentElement.clientHeight;
imgheight = Math.round((height / refheight) * 530);
document.getElementById('Image1').style.height = imgheight+'px'; //background height
setTimeout("resize()", resize_delay);
}</nowiki></pre>

How do you add an application event to the Applications Panel

How do you add an application event to the Applications Panel.
My previous post referred to .ashx files, and the problem seems that Firefox, by default, does not recognize a .ashx format being read by Adobe Acrobat.
Therefore there needs to be a way to add Applications and Events into the Applications Panel under Preferences

Gotcha... But actually its limited to 9 icons in the L theme as the Profiles icon is always present. From that screen hit the Menu key to display the bigger list of icons. Arange them so the first 9 icons are the ones you want to see on the L theme.

Is there a way to make the flyout window for the adjustments panel close automatically?

The flyout window for the tool on the adjustments panel is OK, although I'm not thrilled that it takes up space inside of the image. Is there a way to either make it open within the panel the way it did in CS5 or close automatically when you have finished making adjustments?

Just to help with terminology in the future...
The Adjustments is not in itself normaly called a ''flyout window'', and it operates like other panels and responds to the settings R_Kelly has mentioned.
There's a menu sometimes called the ''fly-out menu'' that you get when you click the little icon at the upper-right corner of the Adjustments panel.
I just wanted to mention the distinction because experts may at first be confused if you describe a panel itself as ''flyout'', even though that's what they do.
