Pinch always out

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi ! Sorry if the issue has been raised before, I did not see anything on this 
site (maybe in Spanish, but even being a French, my understand as some 
limitations... ^^)

First, thank you José for your job with Touchegg, it's a very nice software !

I did managed to get Touchegg working pretty well (SVN-173 version on Kubuntu 
12.04 and disabling 2 and 3 fingers in Synaptics before launching Touchegg, 
everything is fine).

However, when I try to pinch, Touchegg always pinch "out" whatever the 
direction of my pinch. This is true for 2 and 3 fingers (did not test further).

Rotate seems to work OK, but I can't use for the zoom it because it is messing 
up with drag for 2 fingers...

Is there something I'm doing wrong ? Thanks in advance for any help !

Looks like is a problem with the last 12.04 uTouch changes.

(tecnical details) In previous versions the direction of the pinch was 
stablished on the "start" event of the gesture. Currently it looks like is 
neccessary to check again in the "update" event. 

I'll try to test this bug (and others) this weekend in Ubuntu 12.10...

It looks like geis always returns GEIS_GESTURE_ATTRIBUTE_RADIUS_DELTA > 0

Same problem with Ubuntu 12.10. In Gnome Shell 3.6, touchegg doesn't recognize 
2 finger moves. I also disabled all 2 finger moves in the systemsettings.

Do I have to disable anything else?

The same problem with 3 or more finger gestures??

No, only 2 finger gestures are not recognized.

I got it. I found this in this thread 
http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/issues/detail?id=171

synclient TapButton2=0
synclient TapButton3=0
synclient ClickFinger2=0
synclient ClickFinger3=0
synclient HorizTwoFingerScroll=0
synclient VertTwoFingerScroll=0

Now, only the 2 finger pinch doesn't work (2 finger scrolling in all directions 
works very well now).

...and also none of the following gestures works (2-5 fingers):

- rotate
- tap & hold
- double tap

Maybe this all comes from the same bug?

About tap and hold and souble tap ensure to set the composed gesture time (in 
your configuration file) around 700. This is the time that you have between the 
first tap and the second tap/drag.

I'll test the rotate gesture.

Thank you for this hint. Now "Double Tap" and "Tap & Hold" is working. Now I 
tested some more. What's not working (summary):
- pinch in (fingers 2-5)
- 4 finger tap, double tap, tap & hold 
- rotate (fingers 2-5)

4 finger drag is working right. And also 2,3 or 5 finger tap/drag is working - 
strang...

Can you attach your configuration file please?

No, my notebook is out for repairing now. I will give you more feedback when 
it's back. Sorry!

I can confirm that "pinch in" does not work, but rotation and 4 finger tap 
works. Make sure that you have an action with this gesture configured in your 
touchegg.conf, otherwise touchegg doesn't recognise it.

Hi,
I've got the same problems. Rotate isn't recognized. I got it to work, when 
there is no drag gesture for the corresponding finger count, so it seems that 
both gesture are disturbing each other. But, it does not work anymore. I don't 
know why, it just stopped working.

Looks like this was caused by Geis commit 253.2.3 which was made to fix: 
https://launchpad.net/bugs/986215

It looks like the new behaviour is intentional, so 
GEIS_GESTURE_ATTRIBUTE_RADIUS_DELTA should now be handled as a ratio.

Not sure why this his timed out, but the issue still exists for me in Ubuntu 
13.04 with synaptic driver.
Pinch out works, pinch in not - will always pinch out. Everything else seem to 
work as expected.
Using Apple Magic Trackpad.

It's supposed that the bug is now solved. Please, try the new SVN code:
$ svn checkout http://touchegg.googlecode.com/svn/touchegg/ touchegg

I just rebuilt from svn (had to change all qt5 to qt4 in the makefile) but I 
still can't get a 3 finger pinch in to shrink. It sometimes causes the window 
to grow but that's it. Pinch out sort of works. I think one of my problems is 
that I have 3 finger pinch and drag and the gesture looks like both. However, I 
temporarily disabled the drags and it did not help the pinch operation.
