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...

Resize windows and manage files in save/open dialogs?

1. How to resize windows by dragging any border or corner?
2. How to manage files via a Save/SaveAs or Open dialog (rename, delete, copy other files, etc...)?
My search on these two things only comes up with comparisons and debates about Win vs Mac. Not relevant to the questions! I already run Win XP in Fusion when I have to for work. I don't want to run Windows; I just want to eliminate a couple Mac shortcomings since Apple hasn't. Yet. Maybe it has to do with patents...
Anyway, does anybody know of a utility or other way to enable these functions in Mac OS 10? (I've tried Pathfinder; it doesn't quite do the trick.)

I believe you will find a couple of third-party utilities that provide some enhancements for windows. As for file dialogs I can only recommend Default Folder X. You will find these at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

Resizing Windows and Mac volumes

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

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.

Resizing windows and components

Hi, i've been reading the swing tutorial on springLayout but i still haven't figured out how to do it.
Basically I want a jTable in a jScrollPane to resize itself whenever i resize the window. The window would also have other buttons, which positions I want to stay relatively constant to the borders (ex: always in the middle, or always to the left, etc. etc.), however i do not want to resize them. any ideas?
Thnx
Rickszyr

Don't use SpringLayout. Assuming what you stated is all you want in the window, my suggestion is to do the following:
1. The main window's content pane uses BorderLayout. Stick the JScrollPane containing the JTable in BorderLayout.CENTER.
2. Create a second JPanel that will contain your buttons. Add this JPanel to your content pane wherever you want (e.g. BorderLayout.RIGHT if you want it to the right of the JTable, BorderLayout.SOUTH if you want them below, etc.). The LayoutManager you use for this second JPanel depends on how you want the buttons arranged.
Basically, don't be afraid to nest JPanels with different LayoutManagers to achieve the layout you want. You'd be amazed with how much you can accomplish with BorderLayout and GridLayout, and sometimes a little bit of BoxLayout.

How do i drag icons and how do i resize windows

this is my first laptop having been used to emacs before. I can't figure out how to drag items or resize windows when not using a mouse and can't find such simple instructions in the manual.
thanks.

In addition to the method described by Jim, you can set options in the Keyboard & Mouse preference panel (in System Preferences) that allow you to get mouse clicks and click lock using the trackpad. Check out those options, many people find they make the trackpad a lot more useful.

Resizing an Applet window and components.

How can I resize an applet window and not compromise the layout of components in the applet's panel? Can i get the components to resize as the applet's window resize?

Try using GridBagLayout as your LayoutManager. Then use GridBagConstraints to specify the components behaviour on resizing.
Hope that helps.

Unexpected performance of Firefox in Windows 7, namely minimize/maximize/close buttons not working and unable to move/resize window.

I have been using FF for a while now. My main computer was WinXP-32, though I recently bought a new laptop with Win7-64 installed. This problem was never experienced on my WinXP machine.
Brief description of problem:
After a time of having FF up and running, the minimize/maximize/restore/close buttons in the top-right no longer work as expected and, if not maximised, I cannot move the window around my desktop nor resize the browser window. When clicked, the buttons will
rapidly flash on and off continuously without appearing to perform any noticeable function other than temporarily hogging CPU cycles. I've found that clicking (sometimes double clicking) in the main browser window then mousing over the buttons again seems
to stop them flashing, though does nothing else.
To minimize/maximize/restore/move/close the window(s), I have to right-click on the relevant tab in my taskbar and pick the desired option. Occasionally, however, even this doesn't work and the right-click menu will disappear as soon as I move the mouse
over it after right-clicking. 'Show desktop' is a temporary fix for minimising windows and 'ALT + F4' or 'CTRL + W' for closing windows or tabs. This isn't satisfactory and to move or resize a window, I have to close the window in question (sometimes all other
windows too), reopen it and do what I need to do, though sometimes even this is only a very short fix. If I have to close all the windows, FF will sometimes keep running for a while afterwards, even though no windows are actually open - simply ending the process
via the windows task manager will fix this though is only a work-around, not a fix.
One thing I have noticed is that if I manage to move the browser window (when not maximised), for a short period afterwards I can often resize the window successfully. This is more likely to occur if the browser window is not flush with the edge of my screen
once moved.
I've tried to include as much information as I can - most of which was determined after several minutes/hours of playing around with different scenarios, trying to manually reproduce particular problems or simply through sheer luck of happening to click
in the right place at the right time! I hope there is a reasonably fix for this at some point in the not-too-distant future.
I noticed in some of the threads at another site where people have voiced problems similar to mine, that a link to 'ObjectDock' was discovered in some cases. I do have 'ObjectDock 1.90 Plus' installed on my machine and use it in many ways and so decided
to see if I could find a connection between the two. I have uninstalled, tested, and reinstalled both programs in a multitude of ways, though could find no conclusive correlation between having both bits of software running or installed at the same time and
the problems I am experiencing. In my case, at least, this does not appear to be an answer.
Also, in another thread on this site, someone suggested there might be a link with AVG Anti-Virus Free (I have version 9.0.819) though I've tried uninstalling it and its various add-ons in several different combinations, with no noticeable improvement.
Sorry for such a long question... If you need to know anything more, just let me know!
- James

Hi Kossa,
You can also check if the issue occurs in
Clean Boot. If the issue disappears in the Clean Boot environment, you can continue to narrow down which entry is causing the issue.
Besides, uninstall it and re-download
a fresh copy of FireFox to check the result. If the issue still exists, create a new user account to see if it occurs.
If the issue persists, you can contact Mozilla Support directly and use Internet Explorer (IE) during the time.

[Request] Move Windows Control Panel applet from "System and Security" to "Programs"

The "Flash Player (32-bit)" Windows Control Panel applet should be moved from "System and Security" to "Programs" where the Java applet is.

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.

Resizing a movie in a window and it's sprites

I'm working on a kind-of slide show project. The 'show' runs
in a resizable window. The projector (created with Director v10)
has a lot of sprites (>60). Most of them should not be resized
and should stay at a fixed position (e.g. at the right margin),
other sprites should be resized (e.g. the 'slide'). It is more or
less as the Director authoring environment window where windows are
docked.
My question is if someone has a concept on how to deal with
this. I appreciate any help.

Hi,
I have a set of behaviours for that.
They make a sprite keep its distance to the edge of the
stage, and you
can choose which edge (Left, Right, Top, Bottom). And then
there is
one other that sets a sprites position relative to the
centre.
I wrote them years ago for Dir 8, and are still in Lingo not
Javascript.
I could post them here, but they are not difficult to write,
and
besides, what is the fun? ;)
Basically it goes like this:
- store the starting position of the sprite or the offset to
its
reference (left edge, right edge...etc) on startmovie or
beginSprite
- detect the resizing of the window and send all sprites a
message
(sendAllSprites()).
- in the sprites' handler, calculate the new position of the
sprite
and put it there.
If you want to have them anyway, send me an email info
looping nl.
Good luck,
Richard.

Sharing a link to Facebook, the "share" button is not available in the window and I can't resize to access it. How do I make it work?

I have Windows 8.1, touchscreen. When responding to an issues email that then gives me the option to share on Facebook, the resulting share window does not format so that the share button is accessible to click or press. Thus, I cannot share anything. I have tried resizing the share window, but it just jumps around and never makes the button accessible.

I understand that the share button on Facebook jumps around. Does this also happen in safe mode?
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>

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.
