Trackpad touch events

[maoosi]

Your plugin seems very promising, and if it keeps the promises made in your comparison, then it can be a real alternative to fullPage.js. However, it's impossible for me to implement it before touch trackpads events be supported. Do you plan to implement it soon?

Thanks,

Thank you for the appreciation!

If by trackpads you mean laptop trackpads and Apple Magic mouse, then those are implemented already; if it doesn't work for you, then that should be classed as a bug.

If, however, you mean touch events like those on mobile phones and tablets, then yes those are not supported.

Do you plan to implement it soon?

Currently I am setting up my web development shop in Hong Kong, and so there's a lot of work for me at the moment, on top of client's work. I will have more time available from the middle of June. I will definitely refine this package, as well as my other repositories then.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually yes I think there is a problem when using a laptop trackpad.

It's curious because it's working when I goes down in the page and goes up again, but only the first time. If I try to go down again, it no longer works.

No problem using mouse scroll.

Because smartscroll uses d4nyll/lethargy, it's probably an issue with that. It works the first time because in lethargy, the first 15 scrollevents fired will be considered valid.

The idea is that if you use mousescroll, the events should be valid anyways. If you use trackpad or Apple Mouse, because a lot more than 15 scroll events are fired for each scroll intent, the 15-event buffer will get filled up on the first scroll you make, and so subsequent scroll should only fire once.

I have found that trackpads behave different across devices, so it'd be a great help to me if you can try the test here and share with me your findings. You can find some examples on my blog post, which also explains the logic behind lethargy.

I hope this helps you understand how it works. But to actually resolve the issue, I will have to wait til next month when I can dedicate more time on it! (But it will be done, that you can count on)

@maoosi I have some time to work on this now. If you can tell me which page on the demo does not work, that'd be great. Also, please help me by running your device against this test and posting the image that you get.

I appreciate that you might have used another library in the mean time, but I would like to have your help in refining this package, so any help is appreciated!

[maoosi]

@d4nyll Yes, sorry I didn't get time to do that yet. In order to get it, I will have to rebuild a test page because I switched to something else in between, but I will do that as soon as possible, when I have some time.

@maoosi Thank you for any help you can give. Much appreciated!

Hi folks, I get the same problem with my pages. First scroll up with magic mouse confuses Lethargy. Here are my results with your jsFiddle:

May I know when will this be fixed?

[d4nyll]

With @maoosi's profile, I don't know if there's that much I can do about it, simply because the wheelDelta values are so low, it won't be accurate.

@atelierZuppinger I don't see a problem with your profile, if anyone can help me debug it, I'd be more than happy to accept your help!
