Bug (?): Something is up with Events

[quixote]

I have the generic X10 plugin enabled on my machine and I have not received any related errors. Upon testing it, though, I have found that I am not getting any response. The EXACT SAME PROBLEM as I've had with my keyboard commands.
This is *^%^&%n strange. I thought it was the state settings, but now this. I am baffled. :cry:

Girder 4 now supports so called event modifiers. These are 'key down', 'key up' and 'key repeat'. Remotes like the X10 compatible ones actually transmit these. Girder 3.3 had no way of using these thus plugins had to kludge this information into the eventstring. Since G4 now makes active use of the key modifiers the eventstrings for the X10 related plugins have changed. [down] [up] and [repeat] no longer appear in the eventstring but are a separate part of the event. Thus old eventstrings do not match. Sorry. You will have to relearn these events.

Got it. Thanks.

relearning the command gave me an error and closed girder after I pressed the button to test it. I think we may have to resort to the VNC tomorrow.

I just have to bite the bullet. *wince*

If you can describe (detailed!) what you did I might be able to recreate the error without VNC.

I send volume up / down events from NR to Girder and then to the USB-UIRT to control my Denon amp. Is there any way to make use of this new feature to make this work more efficiently?

I will try it again when I get home from work and post a more detailed description of what I did to crash the program.

A little offtopic...

No, for volume up and down it is not usefull. Volume up and down are two separate events/ buttons on a remote. The modifiers relate to one button, pressing it (down mod.) holding it (repeat mod.) and letting go (up mod.).

I was sent home for a while because they are working on the network.
I tried to reproduce the error and I can't. :oops: Arrgg! I keep looking like a fool.
Sorry for wasting your time on that one. Although, I'm happy it works now.

No worries I am sure that bug is there, it is just taunting you now.
