Slow Start-Up / Slow Detection to double click

Hi,
My ibook has been ok until my friend installed a 1 GB fonts into my com, and this resulted in a slow start up to my ibook, even though ive already uninstalled it.
Secondly, the com also seems to be slower in detecting double clicking.
Anyone can solve the problem???

Hi, Angela. Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Have you tried resetting the PMU?

  • Incorrect detection of double-clicks in layers and channels windows. (Mac OS X 10.6.8)

    Photoshop will detect a double-click in the layers and channels panels even when there are different modifier keys held down on the first click vs. the second click.
    I have never intended to double-click and accidentally changed the modifiers I was holding down between clicks.  I often perform an action requiring modifier keys and immediately follow it with an action that requires no modifiers (or different modifiers).
    I realize that the conventions for what constitutes a double-click are platform dependent and not particularly well documented, but I do expect Photoshop to work the way that my operating system does (Mac OS X 10.6.8)).  I know older versions of Windows detected double-clicks even when modifiers were changed between clicks, but I believe the latest versions behave similarly to OS X.
    Examples:
    Start by having a document open with multiple alpha channels and layers in it.
    Select an alpha channel by clicking on it's thumbnail in the channels panel.
    Quickly hold down the control key and click again.
    Result: this brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: should bring up the channel's contextual menu.
    Bonus extra nitpick:  The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
    Create a non-blank alpha channel.
    Hold down the command key and click on that alpha channel's thumbnail. (loads the channel into the selection)
    Quickly release the command key and press the mouse button.
    Result: Brings up the "Channel Options" window. (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: Start a drag operation on the channel.
    Click on a layer in the layers panel to select it.
    Move the mouse pointer to a different layer.
    Hold down the shift key and click to select multiple layers.
    Quickly release the shift key and press the mouse button.
    Result: Brings up the "Layer Style" window.  (as if you had double-clicked)
    Expected result: Begin a drag operation.
    Bonus extra nitpick:  The window opened on mouse-down, not on mouse-up.
    Interestingly the layers panel does the correct thing when control is pressed between clicks, but the channels panel does not.
    The options windows opening on mouse-down instead of mouse-up has never bothered me, but I believe it goes against convention.
    Thanks.

    Very detailed report, Jay. I was able to see exactly what you're talking about, and reproduce this using my trackpad. I'm wondering if this is an OS issue, or something that can be tweaked in Photoshop. Even with files in Finder, you can activate a double-click even with a slight hesitation, which is similar to the behavior in Photoshop.

  • Detect a double click event

    Hi,
    In my plugin , I'd like to detect a double click event in an annotation.
    I've already found how to detect a single click by using avPageViewClickProc and AVPageViewIsAnnotAtPoint but I don't know how to proceed for a double click.
    Thanks in advance...

    your click proc gets the number of clicks, IIRC.

  • Why does computer reacts slow when I double click.

    It seems I have trouble double clicking on something while online or scrolling, as if the cursor isn't "grabbing" the scroll bar.

    The exclamation point means iTunes is no longer able to locate the track and the location specified.  See this article for more details.

  • How  can I start my Java Application using double-click  in Windows XP?

    I hava developed an editor in java. The file made by this editor is saved as the .cte format. so, I need to associate this file with the editor, which means that when you double click the .cte file ,this file will be opened in the editor just like the notepad.
    I know that Jbuider has used the JNI to achieve this way to open a project. So, will you kindly tell me the details about this technique or give me some document? My E_Mail is [email protected]
    Best Regards,
    Maria

    I think this can be done from a batch file which you can execute when you install your application.
    There are two commands which you are interested in, and they are:
    assoc - Displays or modifies file extension associations.
    ftype - Displays or modifies file types used in file extension associations.
    You should use assoc to associate an extension with a file type, and ftype to associate the file type with an application.
    E.g. jar is associated with this on my machine:
    .jar=jarfile (from assoc)
    jarfile="C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_06\bin\javaw.exe" -jar "%1" %* (from ftype)

  • How to start a java application by double clicking just like windows gui?

    Hi,
    I want to open the user-defined file in my java application. The way is like the notepad in windows:1.double click the file name 2.the file is opened in the java application 3.if this file has opened at the same time ,then the last opened will be read-only.
    Could you tell me how to carry it out ? Thank you
    from Maria

    !!! Please give me a help! i am thirsty for itSo, to get this straight, you have a Java application in a jar. For some reason, you do not execute this directly. Are you aware that you can execute a jar directly without the need to write a C++ exe to do it?
    Anyway, for some reason, instead you have a C++ application which launches the JVM with your jar main class.
    Well, you want to do two things. First of all, on Windows level, you need to associate the file type of your user file with your application. Note that they have to have a specific file extension that you choose. To associate the file type with an executable, you open a windows explorer, go to View, Folder Options, File Types and add an entry for your file type and specify it to open with your application. If you do not know how to do this, google for "windows associate file type with program executable" or something alike.
    Now, if you double-click one of your user files, the associated exe will open, and it will receive the file name as a command line argument. In your C++ application, you will need to pass this argument, a file name, to the Java application where you launch it.

  • JTable - detecting double click

    i'm trying to detect double click on a row in a JTable and then find out the row number. i can get it to detect the double click with the table disabled but the row always comes back as -1. if i try setEnabled(false) it doesn't detect the double click at all.

    I think your table should be enabled. Put a mouse listener on the table like:
    myJTable.addMouseListener(new ClickMouseListener());
    class ClickMouseListener extends MouseAdapter
        public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
          if (e.getClickCount() == 2)
            Point pt = e.getPoint();
            int row = myJTable.rowAtPoint(pt);
            System.out.println("Mouse clicked on row " + row);
    }If you also have selection enabled then the row will also be the selected one so that would be another way of determiing the row number.

  • Double click detection

    Hello,
    I have a JTree and I want to detect mouse double click over some nodes. I am using the following code in my JTree (which implements MouseListener) :
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
    if (e.getClickCount() == 2)          
    // MY ACTION
    the snag is that it also detect double clicks when it does not occured over a node. In that case I would like no action to be launched.
    How can I do it ??
    Thank you.
    Sylvain.

    Hi,
    I achived the following way to get the things working like you would to. Take a look:
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
      if ( evt.getClickCount() == 2 ) {
       TreeNode node = (TreeNode)ree.getLastSelectedPathComponent();
       if ( node.isLeaf() ) {
        // Go ahead
    I hope this help you.

  • A better way to Double Click

    I have been wondering if there is a better way to detect single clicks Vs double clikcs than the model currently implemented. I am sure all of you have run into the problem of even though an event listener detects a double click eventually, it detects the single click first, so often you have to compromise the quality of your software to account for that. I have considered writing my own custom handler using threads and such, but it seems to me there must be a better way out there that I just have not been able to find. I need a way to detect double clicks, and fool the machine into believing no single click has occured. Must I re-invent the wheel?
    AC

    I agree that GUIs should have some uniformity to
    them..especially as we enter an age where computers
    are ubiquitous. But there are some situations where
    customized behavior is preferrable. If you have ever
    worked with movie special effects software, some art
    software, music software, especially, you know that to
    make a GUI intuitive, sometimes liberties must be
    taken with the 'standard' gui design.The application determines the standard not the OS nor the GUI.
    And to say 'Your code is not standard, therefore the
    fact that java cannont accurately distinguish between
    single and double clicks is your problem' smacks of
    nonsense to me.
    We all know that Java is a great
    language.Java is not just a language it is a platform and a philosophy.
    It is quicker and easier to program in,
    than c++, but it is not at full maturity. Every c++
    development environment I have ever used had the
    ability built in to distinguish between a true single
    click and a double click.As does Swing..
    I love Java, but most
    programmers could fill a page with the enhancements
    that it needs. Not all enhancements are practical.
    Like many I balked when I first started with Java at
    the fact that it did not have true multiple
    inheritence. I now realize that
    I never really needed it anyway. But some things, eg
    templates, I definitely could still use. That being,
    said, thanks for the dialog. Templates are a complicated horror, unless you really need your software to be truly adaptable you will never use them. Even MS, Sun and IBM disposed of that need a long time ago.

  • Since upgrading to iCloud double click not working

    Since I've upgraded..I can no longer open applications or mail directly by clicking on it.
    for every message I want to open and read..it won't let me open..I have to go up to the FILE    
    in the top menu and then drag down to the 'OPEN' to open anything..
    any suggestions?

  • Master pages won't open with double click

    What am I missing? I've used Indesign for years. Have CS6 now. When I double click on a master page, it won't open. This happens with old documents and with new ones as well.
    Barb

    I realized that I can't open anything with a double click, not just InDesign. In searching for an answer, I found an answer. When I installed a new mouse, I turned the speed on everything to high, fast, super speedy. When I slowed down the double click speed, I could open anything. Whew!
    I solved the problem.  If you go to System Preferences > Accessibility > Mouse and Trackpad -  You can set the speed of the double click to be much slower.

  • In Piano Roll, double click on note opens List editor. CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

    While editing in the Piano Roll Editor, double clicking on a note opens up the List Editor.
    CAN I TURN THIS OFF?

    I realize that it is my way of working that causes the editor to open up. When I work fast and with the zoom out a little to far, some times when trying to move a note it fails to move and when I try to move it again the List Editor opens up. I am very set in my ways after 20 years of non linear and 30 years of midi programming. I was just surprised that this is not a preference.
    I really don't want to slow down my double click settings. I like them fast to avoid this very thing, false double clicking. Maybe I'll try making them faster.
    Does anyone know where the support Feedback is located? I would love to request another pref be added.

  • How to handle a button double click

    I know how to define and IBAction and link it to a control by (Click-Drag)ing.
    But that does not make me chose what action (event for x-Microsoft) in the control am I linking to.
    By other words, when I click-drag, I dont mention, anywhere that I want this action to be linked to the "Click" event of a button. So what if I want this action method to be called when a button is double clicked for example, or when the mouse moves over it.
    Thanks

    Hi Tony, and welcome to the Dev Forum!
    The good news is Apple provides thorough documentation on tracking, interpreting and handling Cocoa mouse events. The bad news is the info is carved into pieces that are scattered all over the library. The challenge is to identify the docs that contain one or more pieces of the puzzle, and then to fit everything together.
    As to double clicks, there's no NSControl equivalent to the double-click notification that many Windows controls send (e.g. BN_DOUBLECLICKED). Also, as you've seen, when connecting an event to an action method in IB, there's only one event to choose from (Cocoa Touch is different in this regard, btw. You'll have a choice of several events when connecting a UIControl object to an action method in IB, though "double-touch" isn't among them).
    So how do Cocoa programmers detect a double click in, for example, an NSButton? The default action message for this class is generated by a NSLeftMouseUp event. I.e. when the left button is released while the control is tracking the cursor.
    One crude but effective solution is to have the listener (the action method connected to the button) set an ivar and start a one-shot timer on the first message. If a second message is received before the timer method resets the ivar, we have a double click. Otherwise we have two single clicks.
    A more general solution is based on two methods you might easily overlook. Firstly, [setContinuous:|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Refe rence/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSCellClass/Reference/NSCell.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000074-BBCCCEAA] allows you to configure the associated NSActionCell object to send a stream of messages to the button's target instead of just one. The stream starts with the mouse down event that initiated tracking and ends with the mouse up that ends tracking (also see [trackMouse:inRect:ofView:untilMouseUp:|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/ documentation/Cocoa/Reference/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSCellClass/Reference/NSCell.html#//appleref/doc/uid/20000074-BBCCJAFJ]).
    The next piece of the puzzle is the [currentEvent|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Refere nce/ApplicationKit/Classes/NSApplicationClass/Reference/Reference.html#//appleref/occ/instm/NSApplication/currentEvent] method of NSApplication. This returns the NSEvent object the started the current event cycle, i.e., the event which caused NSButton to send the current action message.
    Thus the listener has access to the stream of event objects which represents the mouse activity from the start of tracking to the end. Using the position and time stamp data from this stream, the listener can distinguish between clicks and drags (hovering is detected differently; I won't try to cover that topic in this post).
    A couple reference links that might help with the rest of the puzzle:
    [Handling Mouse Events|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Ev entOverview/HandlingMouseEvents/HandlingMouseEvents.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/100 00060i-CH6-SW1]
    [Control and Cell Programming Topics for Cocoa|http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/Con trolCell/ControlCell.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/10000015i]

  • Why does double-click no longer select a whole word?

    I am on the beta update channel and currently using FF 8.0, latest update as of the moment of this posting.
    I am not sure when it happened - I think since I started using 8.0 - but double-click no longer selects a whole word. It's the same effect as a single click - simply positions the insertion point where the mouse cursor is located.
    This is very aggravating. I thought it may be a bug in the new version (I already posted it to Bugzilla, but hasn't been confirmed yet), Unfortunately, I don't have the old version to cross-check (can I install both versions on one machine?)
    Or is it some configuration issue? Or conflict with something else? I've searched and not (yet) found any other complaints about this issue from other users.
    Note that I do not have the problem in any other app nor in other browsers that I have installed (e.g., IE, Chrome, Opera, Safari). In all of those, double-click on a word selects the whole word.
    Thanks in advance for any suggestions or guidance.
    Best,
    Yosh

    OK - I found the culprit. It seems that the Answers.com '''1-Click Answers''' utility had changed its behavior. In its Options on the Activation tab is an option to activate it when using double-click in a browser. I don't remember turning it on, but it ''was'' on. When I turned that option off, the problem went away. Apparently it is not compatible with FF8, since double-click was apparently intercepted, but 1-Click Answers was not activated - the double-click simply became a no-op.
    Now that I've turned off that option, double-click in FF8 is back to the way it's supposed to work for quickly selecting a whole word or sentence.
    If anyone else encounters this problem, I hope this information will help to resolve it.
