Overlapping Windows and Panels Question

Hi, I have photoshop cs5 for the mac and I want to display 2 images of my project. I did this buy going to window>arrange>New Window For "project name" I want to be able to see one zoomed out and just have it displaying in the top corner. I position this new window on the top of my screen, but when I click on my "main" window, the new one just goes behind it and disappears.
My question is can I have my "main working window" tabbed in photoshop, while I have the smaller zoomed out duplicate window floating on top of it?
I would like for the smaller window to always be on top of my "main" working window of my project even while I have the "main" window selected. Is this possible on the mac version?
To solve this, I can make both of them floating windows and position them so that they do not overlap, but this takes up a lot of room on the screen.
I hope this description makes sense. Thanks in advance.

I have application frame turned on and it does not work. The navigator is ok, but its too small and you cannot edit in it like you can in another copy of the project.
I have seen photoshop work in the way I describe, but it was on Windows. Could this just not be possible with the mac os?
Thanks for the quick replies

SAPScript: Overlapping Windows and Print Preview

Hello,
i've got a problem with an existing SAPScript-form.
My Z-form has got an overlapping window where a bitmap prints
"NACHDRUCK" (in english: reprint) diagonally over my MAIN-window.
The responsible person isn't satisfied with this modification, because
in the preview the bitmap overlaps the MAIN-window and so she must
print the document to see the details from MAIN.
Can anybody please tell me,
how i can solve the problem to show the MAIN-window before
the overlapping "WATERMARK"-window in the preview???
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards.
Markus Pawlinka

Hi Stu,
thanks for your answer,
but in CO04 (reprint) with production-orders
the printpreview has got every time the value 'X'.
I mean every time you want to print an production-order
the preview appears. - now without the watermark -
But if you want to print the document afterwards the print routine
doesn't start anymore an so the
document appears without an watermark!
I hope you've got more suggestions?
Kind regards,
Markus
Problem not solved till yet!
Please help.
Kind regards

Resizing windows and panels?

This seems strange to me, but maybe I'm missing something. I can't resize the panels horizontally if the "inspector/library/file browser" pane is shown. At the same time, maximizing the window sends the bottom of the motion window behind the dock, and attempts to resize it just cause it to go away instead of resizing. Is it necessary to hide the dock? or not be able to resize the window and adjust the layout?

Do not even try to use Partition Magic. If you do an operation on your Windows disk using Partition Magic, Partition Expert or any other such program, you will not be able to boot your Windows!
when bootcamp creates Windows partition, it sets this partition as active. thus, Windows sees this partition as C drive, and can boot without any problem. But, if you use such a program, It will corrupt the MBR, C: drive will disappear for windows, and it will not boot. This can even make bootcamp unable to run anymore!
I tried to partition my windows partition like that for installing linux, and it screwed up! I could repartition and install windows+linux (triple boot). But this was really a pain! but right now I am unable to use BootCamp. i manually extract the drivers.
And you talk about resizing OSX partition via Partition Magic. This can even damage hole system! I just tried to divide Windows partition in 2, and I lost Windows and BootCamp. if you try resizing OSX partition, you will lose everything as your MAC does not use old HD partitioning scheme like PCs do!
I suggest you to not try that... It is easier to reinstall windows. So the best way is to use BootCamp for deleting Windows, and recreating Windows partition afterwards. Try getting the Image of your Windows partition before erasing it. Maybe after resizing, you can use your old Windows image, so you will not have to install Windows from scratch...

Several windows and grid questions

Hello, I have a couple of Swing related questions that follow:
Q 1)
Imagine I'm writing a basic GUI that has 2 "windows": the main window and the about box window. Basicly there's a JMenu with a JMenuItem that has an action that will set the about box visibility to true.
My question is: what's the most correct way to do this?
a) declare both windows in the Gui constructor, having the main window's visibility set to true and the about box window visibility set to false, changing that visibility inside a actinPerformed () method
b) declare the main window in the Gui constructor, and then creating the about box window inside the actionPerformed method, when the MenuItem is selected
c) other. please explain
Q 2)
Is there any way to automaticly draw a grid within a JFrame or does it have to be done with Graphics' drawRect, drawLine and so on?
Thanks in advance.

Q1: c, have a getter for the aboutBox and instanciate when needed (also possible with b). If the user never clicks the menuItem, why instanciate and clean up later?
Q2: DrawRect /line

JS CS3: ScriptUI - window and panel loses focus on Mac

Hi,
Have made a script to export selected textframes as text files.
When the script runs on a PC the script window stays in front of the document as intended.
Much to my surprise this is not the case on Mac, On Mac the script loses focus and goes behind the document.
Is this a bug or is there a workaround?
Using the folowing to create/start the UI.
var win = new Window( "window", "Text Exporter" );
win.myPanel = win.add("panel");
with(win){
win.Pnl = add('panel', undefined, 'Textframes for export');
win.Pnl.orientation = 'column';

Something is wrong.
That's not the behavior that I see using palettes.
The only way I can get a palette to become inactive is by switching to
a different document window. Even when it becomes inactive (greyed
out), it does not require extra clicks...
If you want to activate it programatically, it's win.active = true.

Apple Bluetooth Headset - Paring with Windows and Other Questions

Love my new Apple Bluetooth Headset, works great. My first one did have a problem with poor range but this one is a lot better. I've been wanting to use the headset as a mic. Windows XP finds the headset find but I can't tell if it's connecting or not. How do I tell the Headset what device to connect to? It's paired to my iPhone too so it picks up on my iPhone every time I try to connect.
Basically how do scroll through on the Headset what devices to connect to? Usually Bluetooth Headsets can be paired with multiple devices and you do certain button combinations to scroll through the paired devices.

unlike some of the sony ericssons, the apple headset can only be paired with one phone at a time. that doesn't stop you from repairing it when need be, however...

njb,
Why not just run the ThinkVantage System Update and let it install as usual. You can also "un-check" those drivers that you don't want to install.

Smartform Main window and Footer Overlap Issue

Hi,
I have a problem in printing my invoice smartform.
I have to print the footer at the bottom of the main window. If the line items flow to the next page the footer should be printed only on the last page.
I have overlapped the main window and footer windows in first and next page so that the footer window space in the main window is not left empty when there are more than one pages
The problem is sometimes the main window is overlapping into the footer window space.
Can someone suggest a solution for this.
Thanks,
Viswas

Hi,
Solution: The issue faced after overlapping the main window with footer window can be achieved by creating a folder within the main window and using the events to check whether there is enough space to print the footer.
Following are the steps.
Step 1: Create a Secondary window say “Footer” which would be the footer window. Overlap the main window on the footer window as shown below.
The footer window will be behind the main window
Step 2: Create a folder within the main window say “Check_Footer”.
Go to Tab “Events”, select the checkbox “Footer with Height” and give the required height of the footer. Select the checkbox “at End of Table”. Specify the “Minimum height” as required.
Now, go to “Conditions” tab and select the checkbox “Only before end of main window”.
This is basically done to check whether there is enough space to print the footer on that page. The Footer window would then print the output.
Step 3: Go to the created “Footer” window .Under the Conditions tab, select the checkbox “Only after end of main window”. Create a text/tamplate/window whatever you want to display at bottom or footer data.
Step 4: Save & Activate the Smartform and check the output.
regards
Rohit

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Windows control panel routine to designate Elements 12 as my default editor does not list the program. It loaded OK and accepted the key. Your regular help line could not help. What to do?

Hi Robbie,
The editor program is NOT under the organizer path as you mentioned in your last message. The actual editor program is at the location I gave in message #1 i.e. as follows
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 12\PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe"
The one under the organizer is actually the Welcome screen which you have probably set up to go directly to the editor.
If you go to the Open With screen I showed in message #3 and browse to the actual editor as given above, it should show up in your list.
If it doesn't, then Windows is playing up again - and we have to take extra steps.

we have recently upgraded to windows 7, how do i make the toolbars and panel pane larger. They are too small to view

A larger monito is only helpful if the resolution is the same as your current monitor, and they tend to have higher resolutions as you get larger, so don't rush out an buy a larger monitor and expect miracles. If you have a 22" now and it's "HD" (1920 x 1080), you'll see some change as you go up in size, but you'd probably need at least a 27" screen at 1920 x 1080 to notice a real difference.
Right click on the desktop and choose Screen Resolution and you can see the current settings (probably the maximum value which is recommended) and other settings you can use. Lowering the resolution will make everything on the screen larger, but less stuff will fit. Used to be, too that ID did not work will at less than the maximum resolution setting for any monitor.
I did not mean to use the larger fonts feature, by the way, as far as I know that doesn't affect the ID user interface.
The point I was making, rather badly, is that those of us with declining eyesight are getting shafted because there is no way to make use of all the monitor potential and adjut the user interface to make things visible. I just bought a 30" monitor to replace my old 27" which had 1920 x 1200 resolution and was pretty usable, things were about the same size as my old sony 20" running at 1600 x 1200, but even though it is larger in terms of screen size, the new monitor is even higher resolution and things are actually smaller. The only reason I can use it with ID is I know where everything is.

Windows File compatibility, my iPod, and other questions

After years of gripping about doing Video and Photo editing on my PC, I am considering switching to a Mac. But, given I have a heavy investment in PC hardware, I want to make sure I can leverage everything the best way possible. So...
1.) I have a 20GB clickwheel iPod...any problem using this with a Mac? Need to be reformatted or anything?
2.) Can you access ActiveX based websites without problems?
3.) I have a Windows XP machine with 4 drives in RAID format. Could I use this as a common storage network drive for both Mac and PC's at the same time (for instance, store MP3's on it, and access and play them from either the iMac and other Windows PC's without a problem?). What about jpg formatted pictures? Any nuances between PC and Mac formats? (or is jpg really just jpg on either machine...I can open up the same picture on a Mac and a PC and see the exact same picture, without major color changes, etc.).
I realize I need to reformat to FAT, but other than that, are their other problems I should know about? (I would like to use the RAID configuration to make sure I don't lose any data)
That should start for now...
Thanks - Jeff

Mac 10.5 and Windows 7 networking question(s)...

So after about 5 hours of work I finally got my iMac desktop (10.5) to network wirelessly with my Windows 7 laptop. All is well, except that my entire mac desktop hard drive shows up on the network even though I only have one specific folder set to "share" on my Mac desktop. I can't figure out why the whole thing is showing up. Any suggestions? I've checked and rechecked my settings and only the one folder (not the public folder, but a different one if it matters) is checked to share. The user on the Mac that shares info with the laptop is the administrator, if that matters.
Also, I have another apple laptop. Is it possible to share both a windows laptop and a mac laptop with a mac desktop at the same time? I don't think it is because you have to set file sharing to "smb" to network with windows and not use "afp" or "ftp" and I don't think mac can use "smb" between two macs. Is that right? I can't get the mac laptop to network and I assume that this is the reason, but I thought I'd ask.
Thanks in advance.

Mac prints. PC does not. Bonjour Printer Wizard found the printer, so there's some communication between the two (although the printer never came on, but I assume the AX knows what it’s plugged into).
One odd thing is that, after installing the printer driver (downloaded from Brother), Bonjour Printer Wizard listed Brother as a printer manufacturer three times, only one of which shows the HL-2040.
The las time I tried printing from Windows the printer turned on, but did not print.
