Re: Getting Trackpad Support in before feature freeze?

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
Since the pinch part still needs to be developed for wxWidgets, it
doesn't have to be in at the moment (my vote anyway). For zoom, the cmd
+ and cmd - will do fine, as long as the panning is both sideways and
up-down.

Zoom tends to be sensitive anyway. Having only panning as two finger
trackpad gestures would be easier to 'handle'..

FWIW

Bernhard, that is a good point.  If Wayne et al are reluctant to patch
wx for pinch-to-zoom, we can pull in just the panning changes.

I have had Nick test on Linux--I seem to remember he said there wasn't
an impact to him, but I am not sure if the changes are too subtle to
notice.

Basically, at this point I am shining the Waynelight up into the
clouds.  Wayne--what do you need to make the call on this?  A branch
to make a build on your own tree?  A quick summary of how it impacts
non-OS X?

    Hi,

    would be really great.
    I use it since Garth provided his branch and merge it regularly
    into my builds.
    Currently I only use the panning part, because you still have to
    patch wxWidgets for the pinch-to-zoom.

    I didn’t see any showstopper on my MacBook (TouchPad) and my
    desktop (Mighty and Magic Mouse).
    So, in my opinion question is only about non-OSX impacts.

    Wrt to pinch-to-zoom there seem to be changes in wxWidgets trunk.
    I don’t know if we would like to patch until it has completely
    landed (wxWidgets needs to be patched anyway for OS X), or just
    wait with that until it has arrived in official versions.


    Regards,
    Bernhard

    I locally merged Garth's code a week or so ago and had
    difficulties - don't know if it was his files, my dependencies,
    or something else. Attached is the log of my merge - it was
    against r5431 and shows the names of the merged files.

    One of my problems was that after I built KiCad,  after awhile it
    did not respond to clicks on the red go-way button (top left of
    window). I had to Force Quit.

    FWIW

    Super!!!

    I can do testing as needed. I have magic mouse and MacAir with
    trackpad - running 10.10.2

    Hi folks,

    Can we start a discussion on if it would be appropriate to get
    Garth's trackpad support in before the feature freeze?  If it
    is possible, what needs to be done, and who can do it?

    (Please, folks, this is not a thread for bug reports or
    debugging builds.  If we're going to have any chance to get
    this in, it'll be a focussed effort!)

    Thanks!
