How to strip OS to bare minimum to run iMovie only?

I recently bought a Powerbook G4 1ghz laptop for the purpose of iMovies only. What is the bare minimum OS I need to make it only run iMovie and not all the rest of the system stuff and still operate?

If you use a version of iMovie that was designed for the G4, and you are editing SD video such as miniDV, you should be fine. Video editing was certainly possible with the G3 iMacs and the G3 PowerBooks that CNN handed out to field reporters, so it's possible with a G4. But you must limit yourself to SD and low-res webcam stuff.
The problem is that the G4 won't run today's iMovie very well, and cannot play back, or edit, HD video at all.
The G4 can easily play back the not-very-compressed QuickTime movies of its day, and of course it can also play DVD movies like the G3 could. But again, you'll never see a G4 play an Blu-ray or HD YouTube video because it just doesn't have the power.

Bare minimum include files/project settings for a photoshop plugin

Hi, I've been reading the documentation and gone through some samples in the SDK and I'm starting to feel comfortable with the whole plugin environment (though there is still much for me to learn).
The question I have is "what are the bare minimum files I need to include, libraries to link, etc in order to compile a photoshop plugin?" I apologize if this is a repeat question, I did my best to search for an answer.
The motivation behind my question is that I am ultimately interested in developing plugins for both Windows and Mac with the least amount of hassle. Ideally, I'd like to be able to run a single script (probably on a linux machine using gcc/mingw) that compiles all of my most recent code so I'm trying to find out how can boil down the SDK to the minimum components to make this as simple as possible so my programs don't have relics/artifacts from the example code in them. I'm also not certain how to accomplish what I just described but that's probably a question for a different forum. Any help is much appreciated!

The (GPL) sample code on my site shows how cross-platform plugins can be built for any Photoshop platform - these days, most commonly Win32, Win64, and OS X Mach-O. There are dozens of projects represented, mostly File Formats and Filters:
http://telegraphics.com.au/sw/
Makefiles are provided for OS X gcc, Microsoft Visual Express (running on Linux/WINE) for Win32 and Win64, and mingw32 (as a cross-compiler from Linux or OS X).

How to get a scroll bar for nodes?

How to get the scroll bar to work with the javafx.scene.layout.container.
I tried putting in one but the SwingScrollPane requires SwingComponent.
How do I put my fx nodes inside it.
I could not find any way to cast the node objects into SwingComponent.

Hi,
Here's a little sample with custom scrollNode
You must modify the code but you can start with it.

Adobe illustrator is opening with bare minimum

I've had CS6 installed on my laptop for at least a month now. Just recently, illustrator has been opening with only the bare minimum features: the document that I've opened; the application bar without any tools; and the dropdown menus with limited functions. For instance, I can't even print.

Hi Mike,
I'm on a mac, OS X.
I'm also getting a missing plug-in error, saying that I don't have "Stroke Offset Live Effect (Adobe Illustrator.app). This is probably important, but I don't understant how something that seems so insignificant can have such a large effect on the program. Unless, this missing plug-in is a symptom of a bigger issue.
I recently uninstalled creative cloud after trying it out. Is it possible that CS6 and creative cloud shared a common pool of applications/plug-ins? I'm pretty sure I was able to properly open up files with CS6 illustrator after uninstalling creative cloud a couple weeks ago though. The problem's been more recent.

How to keep the Navigation Bar to a certain # of pixels?

I'd like to know how to control the Nav Bar so that it always remains a certain number of pixels wide. I looks like I can set the Navigation Bar Width to a value, ie 150 pixels. But if the window grows, so does the Nav Bar. The configured width appears to be the minimum the Nav Bar can shrink to, not the max it can grow to. Is there a way to control the max width of the Navigation Bar?
Portal version is 3.0.8

Hi,
I thinks that you should use your navbar in a dedicated area, where you can specify the width in pixel or in percentage (default option).
I hope this can help you !

How to Insert a Status Bar to my application

Hello all
I use JBuilder v9 and would like to add a status bar at the bottom of the main
frame in my program. I checked the manual pages but there is no such class as StatusBar or JStatusBar.
When I type StatusBar (or JStatusBar) sb = new StatusBar (or JStatusBar) ();
it gives errror message.
Does anyone know how to add a status bar to a frame?

A quick a dirty example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class StatusBarDemo extends JFrame
private JLabel statusBar;
public StatusBarDemo()
    JMenu menu = new JMenu("File");
    JMenuItem item = new JMenuItem("Open");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Open a new file"));
    menu.add(item);
    item = new JMenuItem("Print");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Print the current file"));
    menu.add(item);
    item = new JMenuItem("Save");
    item.addMouseListener(new StatusBarUpdator("Save the current file"));
    menu.add(item);
    JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
    menuBar.add(menu);
    setJMenuBar(menuBar);
    statusBar = new JLabel(" ");
    statusBar.setForeground(Color.black);
    statusBar.setBorder(new CompoundBorder(new EmptyBorder(2, 5, 2, 5),
                                           new SoftBevelBorder(SoftBevelBorder.LOWERED)));
    Container c = this.getContentPane();
    c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    c.add(statusBar, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
public static void main(String[] args)
    StatusBarDemo frame = new StatusBarDemo();
    frame.setSize(400,300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
class StatusBarUpdator implements MouseListener
    private String hoverText;
    public StatusBarUpdator(String text)
      hoverText = text;
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e)
      statusBar.setText(hoverText);
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e)
      statusBar.setText(" ");

How to setup a sound bar on LED TV 42SL417U

So I've been trying to figure out how to setup a sound bar that uses AUX Left and Right cables onto my LED TV 42SL417U. I've been trying to connect the cables into every possible port on the TV and nothing works. What do I do???

Hi -
What make/model of sound bar are you trying to connect?
The only "outputs" for sound to an external device from this TV are the Optical and HDMI connections. Page 18 and 19 of the Owners Manual talk about connecting to an external audio source.
Hope this helps.

How to stop the tab bar from automatically hiding itself?

ive only found how to stop the address bar from disappearing and everyone with the tab problem seems to have posted this over a week ago and still hasnt been fixed yet if noone has a fix im out and done with firefox they can suck a fat one
why add this feature! i can understand the address bar but not the tabs all you have to do to hide it was push the tab button again and its gone was that so fucking hard that you had ruin a perfectly fine browser

Hello,
In Firefox 23, as part of an effort to simplify the Firefox options set and facilitate future improvements to Firefox, the option to hide the tab bar was removed.
Fortunately, this can easily be resolved if you desire the keep tabs hidden. You can install "[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/hide-tab-bar-with-one-tab/ Hide tab bar with one tab]", an extension hosted on Mozilla's add-ons site, which will restore the ability to hide the tab bar.
Thank you and I hope this helps!

Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now ?

Is their any tutorials on how to make a navigation bar with drop downs in Dreamweaver CC now that they do not have the spry option?

bbull2005 wrote:
Preran, why wouldn't Dreamweaver include it's own menu/navigation bar widget?
I can't answer on Preran's or Adobe's behalf, but I think you'll find at least part of the answer here: http://wiki.jqueryui.com/w/page/38666403/Menubar
Adobe decided to discontinue development of Spry in August last year, and Dreamweaver CC made the switch to using jQuery UI widgets and effects. One reason for dropping Spry was that it failed to work correctly in some browsers. Judging from the fact that the jQuery UI menubar is now "on ice", creating a flyout menu that works reliably across all devices is proving more difficult than originally envisaged.
Because all other widgets in Dreamweaver CC use jQuery UI, it's a reasonable assumption that Adobe hoped the jQuery UI menubar would be ready in time, but it wasn't.

How to use a progress bar with java mail?

Hi, i'm new here.
I want if someone can recommend me how to show a progress bar with java mail.
Because, i send a message but the screen freeze, and the progress bar never appear, after the send progress finish.
Thanks

So why would the code we post be any different than the code in the tutorial? Why do you think our code would be easier to understand? The tutorial contains explanations about the code.
Did you download the code and execute it? Did it work? Then customize the code to suit your situation. We can't give you the code because we don't know exactly what you are attempting to do. We don't know how you have changed to demo code so that it no longer works. Its up to you to compare your code with the demo code to see what the difference is.
