Plugins for Girder 3.1

[Ron]

I've been trying to keep things backward compatible. So I'm not sure what is wrong with the advanced mouse event plugin. I'll run it on my system to check it out. In theory though all the old plugins should work without modification.

The plugins that where upgraded to the new api are all included with the installer/zip file.

[Ron]

I've tried the Advanced mouse plugin and it worked kinda, but it also kinda worked in girder 3.0 So I'm not sure what is wrong here. I'll do some additional testing to check if it is Girders fault. But I'll release beta 8 first.

[Ron]

If you set the target to foreground window it works. This makes no sense for this action however, thats why i said it kinda works.

This problem is the same for girder 3.0 so its in the plugin :smile:

I'll correct the Girder 3.1 behaviour to set the foreground targetting by default too.

[Ron]

Fixed.

[Ron]

It was in Girder, you'll have to wait for Beta 9. Btw it was purely cosmetic, this did not prevent the plugin from functioning.

I never tested the plugin. I just looked at the command names.

If you find a bug report it detailed. I don't have the time to check everyting.

[Ron]

Please hold on to those files, I do not have time to debug this. Because what you describe sounds like a plugin issue, not a girder issue.

[Ron]

I tested the AlarmTimer plugin (old version, thus using the old API) and this works just perfect. I tested this one because it uses the same functionality as the buttonmode plugin, but I am sure that it has no flaws. I have never used the buttonmode plugin so I do not know what is wrong.

[Ron]

Okay I found the problem with the buttonmode plugin. It assumes that the IrStr in the command structure is valid, but since the change this is no more in use,.. well was. Before sending the command structure to the plugin i now fill it with the incoming IrStr, thus making buttonmode work again.

Fixed in Beta 13a.

[Ron]

There is no spoon

[mitko]

Ron will it possible to point which plugins are ready for the 3.1 version and which aren't and contact the authors to make them compatible with the new version.
I found that MouseAccel and Mark's PopupOSD are OK but AdvancedMouseEvent isn't (or am I doing something wrong?)

Let everybody take his part in this test!

[mitko]

I've tried moving the mouse relatively to it's previeous position and this failed in 3.1 but in 3.0 works fine. So it has to be a problem with 3.1
Can you check this out on your system?

[mitko]

Yes, you are right.
The problem was that when adding a new command in 3.0 it has target automatically set to the foreground but in 3.1 it doesn't so I'll have this in mind

[mitko]

OK that will do it
10x

[mitko]

mac you are right
there is also problem with displaying the names of the selected commands.
Can this be the problem?
Ron, please, have a look at it!

[mitko]

Ron was it in Girder or in the plugin?
which I have to download?

[mitko]

so you mean that the plugin was functioning on your system even before the fix?

[mitko]

I'm not sure where is the bug. I can simply tell the symptoms:
When I configure a Button mode command to execute PlayWave "On Press" and OSDPopup command "When Held down" for 1000ms only the PlayWave command is executed even if I hold the button for a longer then 1sec time.
:sad:
The same thing worked perfect with the same 1.22 version of ButtonMode Plugin in Girder 3.0

If you want I can send you an e-mail with the .gml file and the 1.22 version of the plugin

[mitko]

OK
I understand you have a lot of work to do, so I will leave you
:smile:)
for the moment atleast
I'll wait for the new beta and see if the problem exists I'll contact the author.
I think you should update the download section with the 1.22 version. You can download it from

[mitko]

Any progress on the ButtonMode problem? I still can't make it work even with 3.1.0 beta 12c
Did anybody have success with this plugin and the 3.1.betaX versions?

:sad:
Ron, I apologize for bothering you agin but can you dedicate a few minutes to the problem. I (and probably many others) need this plugin.

I knew you are the ONE!!!

ButtonMode does not work as it should either.

[mac]

I have looked at the ButtonMode and don't see the reason why it does not work in 3.1 while it does in 3.0. As soon as I have some more time for it, I'll make more complex testing.
