Does not seem to work after upgrade to Mountain Lion

[lukas-vlcek]

Hi,

I was using your great TabletMagic on Lion but I can not make it work after Mountain Lion upgrade (10.8.1). Basically, it seems to be able to detect the tablet correctly but the cursor is not moving, in Testing window I can see that it is receiving data from tablet (stream, position, pressure, buttons... etc), the only strange thing is that in Extras the PanicButton is pulsing... not sure why, does this mean something? If I hit it nothing changes...

The following is some info:

Now when I press ctrl + C:

TabletMagicDaemon shutting down

Is there anything I should try? Thanks!

You could take a look at: https://github.com/Hyldahl/TabletMagic/commit/cec7ca5453b7d9e316139c54517eb60ee5d78984

I fixed the issue with the cursor not moving. The only thing I haven't got working is the pressure not working correctly in certain applications (Autodesk Sketchbook ..others?).

[lukas-vlcek]

Do you know if Photoshop works fine?

[Hyldahl]

Nope sorry. Only one way to find out...

[lukas-vlcek]

Hey, I want to find out... please let me know what I need to do. I assume I need to clone your fork and build in Xcode, right? Then I need to find a way how to re-install instead of current TableMagic. Or do I need to un-install current TableMagic first and the install built from your fork?

[Hyldahl]

Building the code in Xcode will install it as well. Just make sure to uninstall / shutdown the daemon if it is running before building.

[lukas-vlcek]

So all I need is to open the code is Xcode (done), build it using cmd + B (done - build succeeded), and that is it? If I now run TabletMagic it should be already upgraded?

[lukas-vlcek]

Hmmm... this is what I now get if I try to enable TabletMagic in System Preferences https://gist.github.com/3624163

@Hyldahl are you no IRC anywhere? My email is lukas.vlcek@gmail.com I would like to help you debug this.

[Hyldahl]

How about Skype?

2.0b17d2 is still our best friend right now while bugs are worked out. 2.0b19 is still in-progress. I just committed all the latest changes including initial (slightly buggy) support for Mountain Lion and old Calcomp tablets.

If anyone feels like having a look-see at changes in the daemon code, have at it. Although the "eraser" is being specified in TabletProximity events, you'll see it's not being picked up in the ScratchPad for some reason.

When you build and run this (Cmd-R), it installs in your ~/Library/PreferencePanes folder. Delete old copies of TabletMagic before proceeding.

My GD-r does the same thing. It works in Testing, but does not move the cursor. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with code and don't even know how to find where what's been posted is. Can someone give me a novice tutorial on how to get it to work in the meantime? Otherwise, I'll have to wait for b19. Thanks

Version 2.0b19 has been released with a 64-bit preference pane and full support for Mountain Lion. http://www.thinkyhead.com/tabletmagic/download
