Which prefs DB?
Drops,sleep or both?
Post by: Dreambird on July 05, 2003, 05:14:33 PM
I trashed the DropDrawers program's preferences... still need sleep as it is...
Post by: Bill on July 05, 2003, 07:10:05 PM
I'm not in 9 at the moment so I assumed one can trash the sleep prefs also.
Post by: Dreambird on July 05, 2003, 09:05:57 PM
You're right... sorry 'bout that! I couldn't find anything called "sleep" or such but I guess it would be the "Energy Saver Preferences"...
Worth a try... I'll let ya know...

Where are those 'prefs' things that will help this problem? And how does trashing them help with keeping drawers in place?!
Or should I just get more sleep?!

DropDrawers seriously is giving me a problem on the Lombard, but the PB's new owner isn't worried if he can't use the program, isn't hooked on it like I am... myself, I can't do w/o it.
As for droopy drawers, well that's a whole 'nother thing...

Geeesss DB. Hope you didn't hand over the keys without finding the problem?
Whether the new owner isn't worried or is, isn't really the issue.
Post by: Dreambird on July 06, 2003, 01:05:17 PM
the newer owner is my ex, we're on friendly terms so I can get time to work on the Lombard...I have it here today... so yes, if anyone has any ideas please let me know...
Post by: Bill on July 06, 2003, 01:25:16 PM
Well if that's the case, I've got a desktop you can put on it.

Uuuhhmm, I did say friendly "terms" not fire...

DB
Before she went to X, Kris was a big fan of DropDrawers, as I recall. I could be wrong, but if anyone knows that utility well, she'd be the candidate I'd recommend.
(As I recall she took some abuse from Bill when she mentioned it/them, too!)

DickYup... it was Krissel that suggested the program to me and I've been sold on it since...
S'Okay... we "all" know Bill is trouble, and I was feeling goofy yesterday... I kinda figured that subject line was asking for it...

Dream you don't think this would go well with the laptop as a dt.?. <gr>

I can just see it now... some little 12" black and white job...

I'm in 9 for the most part these days, only using X when at my folks or if I fire up the PB (rarely). I can't live without DD and paid for the X version even though I don't much get a chance to use it.
Haven't had a similar problem so I'm kind of at a loss as to what to suggest that hasn't already been mentioned.
I keep all but one of my drawers on the right side so they are less likely to be accidentally opened when using other apps. I only have a process drawer on the left down by the control strip.
I don't know how many drawers you have or how large they are when open but I have 19 on the right side. Each does overlap the others of course if open, but the tabs have only a few letters on them to keep them as small as possible and just fit nicely up the side.
The only thing vaguely in that problem category is my CopyPaste on the PB. The pop open window widget will never stay in the location to where I move it. Upon restart it always goes back to the left side of the screen and I have to move it over to the right side every time. I just got used to it and move it when I have to. Annoying, yes, but I live with it. Doesn't give me that problem on the 9600, though if I move it too far to the right it disappears over to the second monitor which is usually off.

Krissel... I dunno know either, stumped for now! I removed the whole program and I'll try re-installing it when I get the chance, maybe a newer version and see if something does the trick. I have never had this happen so it's a first...
