No actions in Ubuntu 11.04 Natty Narwhal

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello,

I haven't tested it in Natty (is an alpha version!) but it should work... 

Have you made any change in the configuration file? Change the driver to evdev? 
or now synaptics have support in Natty?

Really I don't know why don't work in Natty. It could be because Natty have 
troubles in this phase with uTouch or because I need to update the code to run 
in this Ubuntu version...
What version of utouch-geis are  you using?

Greetings!

As far as I can tell I am using the evdev driver (see xorg.log) and I am using 
libutouch-geis1-2.0.1-0ubuntu1 (libutouch.log). I see the exact same behavior 
in Maverick with the precomplied touchegg .deb.  I haven't touched the config 
file at all yet.

Thanks!

Hi!

Really I don't known why can fail... When Natty will be avaliable I will test 
it.

I would like to try it now, but the work that I make now may end up in the 
recycle bin because Natty is now in Alpha phase and many changes can appear.

Sorry

Alright, I got this fixed, it was actually a combination of problems.  First, 
src/touchegg/util/Include.h in the source tarball is missing "#include 
<X11/extensions/XTest.h>"  It is present in the svn repository copy though.  
This will probably require adding something like xorg-dev to the dependency 
list as well. Second, it looks like geis has changed gesture names, from, for 
example, "Drag" to "Drag,touch=2" so the files in 
src/touchegg/gestures/implementations needed to be updated.  

Hope this helps someone!

Yes, try this:
$ sudo apt-get install libxtst-dev

Cause I really would like to be able to use the great touchegg in Natty

Hi

Sorry, I have been completely forgotten to warn you about the problem was 
solved :/

The Touchégg source code is port to Natty... The GUI must wait a bit because 
I'm working now in the last feature before freeze the code (diferent actions 
for diferent windows) I think that this week or next the Touchégg code will be 
freeze for first Natty release and I'll start to work on the GUI... I'll keep 
you up to date about the diferent changes.

You can download the last code in the SVN:
$ svn checkout http://touchegg.googlecode.com/svn/touchegg/ touchegg-read-only

Then compile and install it 
(http://code.google.com/p/touchegg/wiki/CompileSourceCode), and please, report 
any bug that you found!

This is the actual changelog:
- Added compatibility with uTouch 2, and therefore, with the Synaptics driver
- Improved CPU usage, now  Touchégg only processed gestures with associated 
actions
- Touchégg allows to interact with all windows, not only active windows.
  Now the actions are applied to the window under cursor.
- MOVE_WINDOW now don't moves the desktop window
- RESIZE_WINDOW now don't resizes the desktop window
- CLOSE_WINDOW now can be used with drag or tap&hold gestures
- RESIZE WINDOW now is adapted to the angle of the pinch
- MOVE_WINDOW allows to use Kwin/Compiz effects like "Wobbly Windows"

Added support for the following gestures:
- PINCH - With 2, 4 and 5 fingers
- DRAG - With 5 fingers

Added support for the following actions:
- MOUSE_WHEEL_UP and MOUSE_WHEEL_DOWN actions now are VERTICAL_SCROLL
- HORIZONTAL_SCROLL

And this the actual avaliable actions (probably you will need to change it 
manually in your ~/.touchegg/touchegg.conf):
    MOUSE_MOVE              -> Settings: SPEED=[1..10]
    LEFT_BUTTON_CLICK       -> No settings
    RIGHT_BUTTON_CLICK      -> No settings
    MIDDLE_BUTTON_CLICK     -> No settings
    VERTICAL_SCROLL         -> Settings: SPEED=[1..10]
    HORIZONTAL_SCROLL       -> Settings: SPEED=[1..10]
    MINIMIZE_WINDOW         -> No settings
    MAXIMIZE_RESTORE_WINDOW -> No settings
    CLOSE_WINDOW            -> No settings
    RESIZE_WINDOW           -> No settings
    SHOW_DESKTOP            -> No settings
    CHANGE_DESKTOP          -> Settings: DIRECTION=LEFT/RIGHT
    MOVE_WINDOW             -> No settings
    RUN_COMMAND             -> Settings: COMMAND=Command_to_run
    DRAG_AND_DROP           -> No settings
    SEND_KEYS               -> Settings: HOLD_DOWN=Key1|Key2|KeyN:PRESS=Key1|Key2|KeyN
                               To see available keys check /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and use it without the "XK_" prefix.

Greetings! And if you found any bug that you want to fix before the next 
version or any feature (action/gesture, etc) that you want, this is the time to 
tell me!

PS - Probably you will note that after the latest updates of Qt in Natty, the 
Qt-based programs now consume more RAM than usual... In Touchégg case from 
1.9MB to 21MB... I think that this problem would be fixed after the final 
version of Natty, else I'll remove all Qt dependeces of Touchégg :/

Do you know how to disable the uTouch gestures in Unity? ie: three fingers drag 
moves a window, and four fingers drag brings out the dock. If I set any 
three-finger gestures in touchegg it's conflicting and doing more than one 
action at once.

I don't know, but you can ask here to the unity developers:

Hi!

Now you can use diffrent actions in different windows, the config file format 
is now XML, a simple example:

    <gesture type="TWO_FINGERS_TAP">
        <application type="ALL">
            <property type="action">RIGHT_BUTTON_CLICK</property>
            <property type="settings"></property>
        </application>

        <application type="Nautilus">
            <property type="action">MINIMIZE_WINDOW</property>
            <property type="settings"></property>
        </application>
    </gesture>

You can see the specified app type running Touchégg from a terminal.
Greetings!
