double click and middle click problems #153

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
I'm having these problems : 

the middle click on the taskbar no longer launches the taskbar properties
the double click on the taskbar no longer launches task-manager
even thought the options are checked .. they used to work in the previous 
version. 

a third problem I'm having is I'm unable to turn off this feature : doubleclick 
on desktop opens explorer ... I tend to accidentally double click on the 
desktop a lot and I'd like to turn that feature off. 

in the previous version I used to uncheck that option, but whenever the program 
restarts ( exit and open again or log off) it would be checked again on it's 
own. 

in this version that option isn't listed but yet it's working and i can't seem 
to turn it off... I made a new event for the desktop double click and left the 
run field empty so no application would launch if i double click the desktop. 
this worked until the program was restarted ... 

thanks in advance :)

window always on top go ?

I see that middle click doesn't open the taskbar properties any more, but 
launching the task manager works for me.

You can turn those features off in the event list. You may use the search box 
at the top if you can't find it.

There was a bug in minimize/maximize features unfortunately, but always on top 
should work like before. You can now edit all those features in the event list. 
If you don't see any events because you deleted them or because they didn't 
load properly for some reason you can import the xml files from Events 
directory.

Here's what I get : 
the event list when i launch 7plus for the first time is empty 

I imported the xml called windowhandling and others ... many events show up in 
the list now some are checked and some aren't 

I checked the ones I wanted and unchecked some others : like capslock feature 
... it gave me a few errors like : error : 
non existant hot key. the current thread will exit 
specifically : $Capslock
--> 17350: Hotkey,%key%,off  

but after a restart of windows they seem to have worked : double click on 
taskbar, minimize to tray is also working and always on top. 

However I can't get rid of the double click on desktop feature ! :S 

It wasn't in the events to begin with but it was active if i double click on 
the desktop it runs explorer. I imported it to the events unchecked it ... 
deleted it .. tried to change its action ... but whatever i try once 7plus 
restarts ... it is active again. 

is there anything i can do to make it stop doing that ? 

I'm on windows 7 btw.

The error about the nonexistant hotkey is a known bug and will be fixed in next 
version.

I'm not really sure why you're seeing this behavior, as I can't reproduce it 
myself.
Turning off the "double click desktop" trigger works fine for me. Maybe you 
accidently imported that trigger twice or so?

mm no i didn't import it twice when i first got this version i removed the 
older one and the events list was empty.

the doubleclick on desktop was working eventhough i didn't check it or 
anything. 
it wasn't in the events to begin with or in the list of features ... i imported 
and changed it's action in hopes it would stop it ... it does until the program 
is restarted. 
i tried to not have it in the events list, to have it but uncheck it, to have 
it but correspond it t another action, still once the program restarts it's 
reactivated. 

i had this problem in the previous version, is there any possibility that i 
have something left over from that version that is causing it ? does 7-plus 
store any files in any other folders or modify the registry ?

Actually, I stand corrected. I just looked in the code and noticed I forgot to 
take out some of the old code. I suggest editing your Settings.ini file while 
7plus is not running and setting DoubleClickDesktop=. Don't delete the line, 
just put an empty value there. This should disable explorer getting launched.

Thanks for noticing, this will be fixed in next version!

I'm sorry I know this might be getting old ... 

at first i couldn't find the settings.ini file .. it wasn't in the same folder 
as where i put 7plus on D:\ .. it was in C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\7plus\ 
along with Events.xml

i opened the file but the line DoubleClickDesktop=.  is no where to be found. 
yet the doubleclick desktop feature is active. 

I'm attaching the settings and events files ... thanks for ur help.

The dot does not belong to the line. If you can't find the definition of 
doubleclickdesktop, just add that line anyway.
