closing this bug, because we'll be replacing the current video library with another sometime later this summer. as such, i won't be doing any more bug fixes on the current video library. in the meantime, we recommend using gsvideo, opencv, or one of the other video libraries that are available.

You can't do that from the AWT event thread. You need to do a -performSelectorOnMainThread to do that on the AppKit event thread.
Please see <http://developer.apple.com/mac/library/technotes/tn2005/tn2147.html> for more information, particularly the section about "Calling AppKit from AWT/Swing".

_ using Capture.list() before size() sometimes works
_ also placing OpenGL inside the extensions directory
_ serial.available() broken with video
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=829
_ first few frames of OpenGL sketches on Windows run slowly
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=874
_ sometimes not launching
_ this seems to be a threading problem, like an NPE on load/open
_ probaby related to the other load/save sync errors
with casey
_ specifically add "eclipse" to integration description
_ link books and sample chapters from the "getting started" portion of the faq
_ keep examples.zip in a zip file? (5000 files @ 30 MB instead of 15 MB zip)
_ mark examples as untitled (rather than read-only)
_ maybe even pull these directly from the zip file?
_ load examples from zip files
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1049
_ disallow add file to sketch, export, export application
_ pretty much anything inside the sketch?
_ but don't do this with untitled, cuz it kinda stinks
_ this is too weird--just put examples into individual zip files
_ mark example files as untitled
_ though will that require the sketch to be saved before export?
_ find in reference issues
_ if() and for() don't work, they look for for_.html instead of for.html

_ discuss i18n issues and proper system (?)
_ look through 404 issues on the site
_ TRIANGLE_STRIP not highlighted for "find in reference"
_ nor is it listed on the reference page

libraries and classpaths [1.0]
_ versioning info

_ java.ext.dirs for /System/Library/Java/Extensions
_ http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/extensions/spec.html
_ can set java.ext.dirs to something else
_ on osx, just ignore anything in /Library/Java/Extensions (but not others)?
_ native lib stuff, use native.txt in lib folder, then:
_ String osName = System.getProperty("os.name");
_ String osArch = System.getProperty("os.arch");
_ add control for dependencies (i.e. svg needs xml), needed for export
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=518
_ add "pretty menu name" to the export.txt file
_ move export.txt to xml? (nah, it's only flat information)
_ need better platform designation setup for libs
_ library installation should use the sketchbook folder, not the p5 folder
_ actually enforce this, give users a warning about other libs
_ need to deal with classpath conflicts
_ avoid garbage that people have installed on their machines
_ antlr.jar in the classpath will cause trouble..
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=SoftwareBugs;action=display;num=1138652326
_ jogl jar files, or jogl install will cause trouble
_ /System/Library/Java/Extensions or /Library/Java/Extensions
_ the /System one contains qtjava
_ the /Library one is empty (by default), maybe skip it?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1259
_ another problem with opengl libraries
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=1570
_ when a conflicting library is found, need to report it
_ altho prolly only when it's actually different (md5hash it?)
_ this seems to be causing a lot of trouble with recent releases
_ (opengl changes and whatnot)
_ jar files like the bad aiexport plugin will cause serious problems
_ need to ignore processing.core classes showing up in other jar files
_ tougher than it looks, because it all depends on what java wants to use
_ i.e. even if not specified, the stuff will be in the classpath
_ need to make classpath code be less promiscuous
_ the order of adding libraries to classpath should be opposite
_ the important local libraries should be first in cp, user contrib later
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=321
_ java.extension.dirs has the library/extn stuff
_ can probably set this blank
_ the jar from which a class file has been loaded

Exception in thread "Thread-2" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:

generally, that error means that something is missing from the
CLASSPATH. the NoClassDefError gives erroneous feedback about *what*
class is actually missing, as of java 1.3+ (yay!)
so perhaps conflicting versions of a library in the sketchbook (solve
this by setting to an empty sketchbook temporarily) or files might be
installed in the CLASSPATH variable or something conflicting in
/System/Library/Extensions.

_ the way to do it (will improve later) is to use some undocumented features
_ 1) you have to use the OPENGL renderer
_ 2) use textMode(SHAPE);
_ 3) use createFont() (which you already are)
_ this will convert all the shape data from the fonts for writing.
_ it will be *extremely* slow, which is part of why it's not documented yet.
_ but it will work with beginRaw().
DOC / Discourse Board
_ auto-close threads when not posted to for 30(?) days
_ add basic guidelines for posting to the board
_ 0. be polite. going on about how much something "sucks" or is "stupid" will make you look like an eight-year-old.
_ 1. don't double (or triple) post
_ 2. if you're having trouble, first see the troubleshooting page
_ 3. if you have a bug, first search the bugs database
_ 4. first check the FAQ
_ 5. use the search bar at the top of every page
_ 6. read revisions.txt
_ someone wrote up an initial version of this
_ how to put [code] around blocks of code
_ also mention contributed plugin for formatting
_ also the reference page on the bb commands
_ i don't answer to instant messages
_ i don't answer email
_ use the bugs db instead of the bugs board
_ use the search box (not the forum search)
_ read the faq, read the faq
_ read the reference.. right-click on a word and choose "find in ref"
_ non-processing posts will be deleted (not a java discussion board)
_ no duplicate posts - find an area and post to
_ explanation of what the areas are
_ be sure to look at the reference, especially the extended reference
_ questions like 'how do i do x' are often solved by looking at the api
_ for instance, to get the framerate, use framerate()

_ make history folder, and a zip (not gz) file for each entry
_ history causing trouble - super slow with a huge sketch
_ could instead be gzipped and appended to history.dat
_ along with another file that is actually a table of offsets
_ no need to make the thing a gzip stream
_ checkbox on menu for 'record history' ?
_ history converter option?
_ only first 20 entries visible?
_ shortcut to walk through history, ala photoshop (ctrl-alt-z)
_ zlib file becoming corrupt (not flushed after close?)

_ code is already in, need to add window and test with multi-monitor setup
_ some code already written in PresentMode.java
_ option in preferences to set the jvm used to run? (osx only?)
_ this would take care of nasty macosx 1.4 vs 1.5 issues
_ /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.3.1/Commands/java

PDE / Sketch & Sketchbook
_ don't reload sketch on "save as"
_ this can result in loss of data (undo is lost)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433
_ ArticulatePrint-070103a.pde from ArticulatePrint-070103a loads ok
_ but when opening the sketch, it leaves out the file
_ because there's a dash in the name
_ and instead only loads StemCell.pde
_ show progress dialog during export and save
_ slow save/new because of large sketchbook
_ this is a total cluster, the rebuild is being called incessantly
_ startup is very slow on g4
_ show progress bar while rebuilding sketch menu?

_ in 0125, only rebuilding on rename or save as, but still a problem
_ don't re-scan all jar files whenever rebuilding sketch menu (cache)
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=579
_ in rebuild sketch menu - disable subfolders working as libraries
_ if a sketch, don't allow subfolders
o or maybe just that libraries must be in the root?
o nah, cuz that would mean can't make subfolder called "libraries"
_ is the 'hide' option for code dumb? i've never used it
_ should it just hide the code, not actually remove it?
_ do we finish the tabs thing for 1.0? yes
_ could probably be done in a reasonable simple way.. ala eclipse
_ show additional tabs in the dropdown list? show all?
_ robert's tunnel example, why does tunnel not show up as leftmost tab?
_ hitting ESC on "create this, move file, continue" opened anyway
_ may need a progress bar for "save as"
_ or just the file copy function in general
_ since it may take a long time (i.e. 1000s of screen grabs)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=82
_ "save as" shouldn't always show save as dialog
_ unless that's the current mode that's being used
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=83
_ handle renaming with case changes (currently ignores case change)
_ see notes/bitching in Sketch.nameCode()
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=85
_ setting sketchbook to a folder on a network mounted drive
_ does this work? test on both on mac and pc..
_ or if not, should recommend people against it
_ (i.e. folders disappearing if net has trouble)
_ http://processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=87
_ some type of sketch archive format for posting examples (.psk?)
_ would be nice to open a sketch directly from a zip file
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=88
_ maybe just open from a zip file, since psk doesn't help anything
_ also have a means of importing sketches

_ add more information about multiple camera inputs
_ add info about "access" errors being quicktime errors
_ documented in faq, add something to the lib "camera not installed"

_ need to add resize method to capture object
_ http://processing.org/discourse/yabb_beta/YaBB.cgi?board=Syntax;action=display;num=1150227643
_ figure out what's up with the qt error handler
_ is this what's preventing the errors from being caught properly?
_ shutting these off for 0116 so hopefully the messages improve
_ (could this be a mac issue with errors not making it through?)
_ need to prevent multiple QTSession open or close
_ static method shared across the lib, or some such
_ reading movie is really really slow (2-3 fps)
_ possible improvement from qtjava list added
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=40
_ Movie needs the crop() functions ala Capture
_ tearing and incomplete updates on capture?
_ putting read() inside draw() seems to eliminate this?
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=114
_ when drawing large video, the two triangles for the rect are out of sync
_ only shows up in P3D
_ pause and frameRate aren't working
_ framerate does set the frequency which movieEvent will be called,
_ but it is not setting the "available" field corrrectly.
_ in fact, speed() should be used to set the rate, not frameRate
_ sketch .zip file in casey's email message
_ http://dev.processing.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370
_ wrong device name for video capture will cause a crash
_ couldn't get req'd component also happens when the capture isn't ready
_ may also mean that no camera is plugged in
_ also, don't mention winvdig on the mac
_ include a separate video class to handle just playback
_ video playback can be much faster if not messing with pixels
_ could instead use texsubimage in opengl, etc
_ only supports tint() (to set alpha or color) and drawing? just drawing?
_ stop button won't kill a video sketch (bug 150 example does this)
X although ESC seems to work? (not sure, didn't test)
_ or audio won't stop even after hitting stop
_ when an exception comes through during cameraEvent, not printed
_ need to show an actual stack trace (InvocationTargetEx)
_ because otherwise it's impossible to debug this stuff
_ video library not working on export to web

_ instead of "show sketch folder" method, use:
The com.apple.eio.FileManager now has two new desktop interaction methods, revealInFinder(File) and moveToTrash(File). You can use revealInFinder() to open a Finder window in the parent directory of of a file and select it. You can use moveToTrash() to move a file to the most appropriate Trash directory for the volume that contains that file.

LATER
_ rename location is awkward, do it on the tab?
_ method of including/excluding data files in the JAR
_ or at least a boolean for the whole folder?
_ should open() not return a Process object? (exec() instead?)
_ pro: can write out error messages (or output)
_ con: loses cross platform ability
_ but: open() is platform specific anyway, ppl can use exec()
