Re: Taskbar icon fix fails with Windows 10 - 8 years agoAh, I was wondering if that's what happened. StrokeIt wins the usability category when it comes to building actions, so I certainly can understand the confusion!by CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Taskbar icon fix fails with Windows 10 - 8 years agoElfenSky Wrote: > You are a life saver.

I haven't released any updates nor have the desire to do so, so as I swore from the beginning, I've released the source code. I'm sure there are many programmers with far more expertise than I who can transform S+ into something which really can become the bby CapersL - General Re: Strokeit on newer touchpads ("clickpads") - 10 years agoFrom my experience, most of these new touchpads, while not having a visible button, will respond to pressing down firmly in the lower corners; lower right for right mouse button for example. My wife's laptop has the same thing, but if you press firmly in the lower right corner, it's the same as a right click and you can draw on the touchpad while holding/pressing the corner.

Thanks for posting, though, so I know in the future!by CapersL - General Re: For Windows 8/8.1 users, I recommend to use StrokePlus. - 10 years agoOut of curiosity, to what conflict are you referring?by CapersL - General Re: Issuing Commands while In Mozilla FF - 11 years agoWhen Flash is interacted with (like you clicked the play button), it becomes the target for all keyboard input until it loses focus. So if you watch a video and draw a gesture which sends keys like CTRL+W (to close the window), it won't be acknowledged by Firefox because the video player is receiving the keyboard input. You have to click somewhere outside of the video player first, then keystby CapersL - General Re: Floating Gestures? - 11 years agoI've actually just added (beta) support for Synaptics TouchPads in StrokesPlus (using 2 or 3 finger gesture capture)...it seemed relevant to your requests. No touchscreen or stylus/pen support at the moment, though. http://www.strokesplus.com/forum/topic/621/open-synaptics-touchpad-supportby CapersL - General Re: Prev App on Win8 not working - 11 years agoI can't get it to work either. I tried putting delays between ALT_DOWN / TAB / ALT_UP (which is what is needed for it to work consistently with S+), disabling UAC completely and running as administrator from under Program Files, etc...nothing seems to work.by CapersL - General Mouse Gestures Community - 11 years agoHey all! I've created a mouse gestures community on Google+. While I am the developer of StrokesPlus, I don't intend for it to be only about my app, just about mouse gestures and programs in general. I feel like we mouse gesture people are part of a unique clique. Of course, I can't say I'm sure what there is to fill up a community with in terms of discussions; but youby CapersL - General Re: CPU priority - 11 years agoIIRC = if I recall correctly. I was referring to how StrokeIt (SI) currently works...as far as I recall, that is =)by CapersL - Improvement Requests Re: StrokeIt and AquaSnap 1.6.3 - 11 years agoYou're most likely suffering from the gesture draw window overlay (video graphics related). Not that I expect you to run this way, but just out of curiosity, what if you try disabling the gesture drawing (uncheck Draw Gestures from S+ tray icon) and see if you have lag. Also uncheck the Aggressively Manage Memory check in Preferences. S+ handles drawing the gestures on-screen differently tby CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: StrokeIt and AquaSnap 1.6.3 - 11 years agoCerberus Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > (or whatever; what causes the > unreliability of Stroke It never became entirely > clear). I have some speculation about that. When looking into your issues on XP (the flickering, etc.), I looked pretty closely at what SI was doing to figure out the difference. In doing that, I noticed that it appears the moby CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: StrokeIt and AquaSnap 1.6.3 - 11 years agoI'm certain it's faster than S+, but not by wide margin. Since every action, even minimizing a window in S+ loads up and executes into the Lua engine, there's a lot more overhead. Plus there's a hit with the additional options for application and ignore qualifiers; each event processes more code than SI, but has more flexibility. On top of that (this is based on pure speculaby CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: StrokeIt and AquaSnap 1.6.3 - 11 years agoAhh, well not sure what to tell you. It's not my intent to steal SI users by visiting this forum, but S+ is StrokesPlus, my gesture app. Of course, I didn't extensively use AquaSnap for a long period of time with S+, so it could be that AquaSnap is deciding not to forward hook messages at some point or something...not really sure.by CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: StrokeIt and AquaSnap 1.6.3 - 11 years agoIt appears to be some kind of hook conflict. If AquaSnap is running and I start SI, AquaStretch doesn't work. But if SI is running first and I start AquaSnap afterward, AquaStretch seems to work fine. Though, it can't be a pure hook conflict within Windows since the order of these programs starting doesn't matter when using S+, AquaStretch always works. I'm not sure if SI isby CapersL - StrokeIt Bugs Re: Not compatible with Windows 8 RTM - 11 years agoJeff will need to update the gesture draw window with the correct styles; I had to do the same with my program.

Open Task Manager and bring the SI process into view, then start drawing a really long gesture so you can see if it changes while drawing. Robby CapersL - Improvement Requests Re: different gestures for middle button and right button - 12 years agoFYI, StrokesPlus supports multiple instances (with only one non-surprising caveat): http://www.strokesplus.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=186by CapersL - Improvement Requests Re: opposite to "ignore gestures by pressing"? - 12 years agoFWIW, I've introduced this functionality in version 1.1.2 of StrokesPlus, thanks to reading this very posting earlier this afternoon! Though I'm leaving it as an undocumented feature (though full details in the link below) as it isn't for the average user. http://www.strokesplus.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=99by CapersL - Improvement Requests Re: Abandoning StrokeIt - 12 years agoAs you can see, I just slapped the forum up there, so I hadn't gone through the details of its configuration. I enabled category and forum subscriptions, appears to be a small icon on the far right of each row. So basically, you're presenting me with a challenge to make StrokesPlus so good that it will compel even you to switch? =) I keed, I keed.
