Hi all,

I am pleased to announce you the new release of Ginn, the gesture
injector to support Legacy apps.

You can find a video of it used with some apps here:

And the project is hosted here
https://launchpad.net/ginn

it's also packaged in the utouch team ppa.
I am waiting for your feedback, tests and your videos showing your own
use of it !

thanks for the great work!

This is really cool and greatly extends the usefulness of maverick until natty comes.

I'm adding some stuff to the wishes.xml (i.e. firefox pinches to shrink / enlarge) which are obvious from the other examples in it.

I don't see any flick examples. Will ginn recognize flicks and could I use a downward flick in evince or firefox to start autoscrolling, for example?

Also, we still need a way to get a right mouse click. Is it possible to write a ginn rule that would detect a touch that doesn't move for a second and trigger a mouse click 3 (right click)?

I only have a 2 touch screen (cando) and it would also be nice to enable the window switcher by touching the bottom edge in the middle to activate it. I know I could config compiz's command to activate it on the screen corner, but right now compiz requires you to be closer to the edge than I can get with my finger. I guess a mouse can go all the way to the edge, but my finger has a few pixels offset. It only activates about 1/2 the time, and sometimes it repeats.

I know I can use the compiz ctrl-w to activate the switcher, but how can I write the ginn rule to sense the touch of a certain point on the screen?
