Touchpad Gestures Messed Up

[mreitenb]

System information:

• Windows OS version: Windows 10 Home 1909
• ImageGlass version: 8.0.12.8
• Brand new Asus Zenbook laptop

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Enable touch gesture support in Settings -> General (enabled by default)

Actual behavior:

Two-finger left/right swipe has no effect.
Pinch-to-zoom displays the previous/next image.

Expected behavior:

Two-finger left/right swipe should display the previous/next image.
Pinch-to-zoom should zoom in/out.

Please show your current settings for "Mouse wheel actions" in Settings -> Image.

Microsoft has combined touch and mouse wheel behaviors; if any of your "Mouse wheel actions" settings are configured to "Previous/next image", try switching to "Zoom".

Does Asus have any custom drivers / controls for touch / touch-pad behavior?

[mreitenb]

It didn't work with the default mouse wheel settings (which I forgot). I set the regular mouse wheel action to "Previous/next image" and the other three to "Zoom". The results are: 1. Pinch-to-zoom works, 2. Two-finger up/down swipe cycles through the images very quickly, 3. Two-finger left/right swipe does not work.

Windows Device Manager shows that an Asus driver is used, but there is no custom control panel for touch-pad behavior. Two-finger left/right swipe works OK in other apps, such as Chrome.

I forgot to ask ... Does single finger swipe work for previous / next?

Here's what IG had at the end of 2019:

• swipe left/right for previous/next picture
• rotate in either direction (90-degree)
• zoom in/out at a location via spread/pinch
• zoom in/out via swipe up/down

Can you explain why specifically two-finger swipe?

Thanks!

My comments refer to a touchpad, the type that every laptop has, not a touchscreen. Single finger swipe doesn't make sense for a touchpad, since single finger movement just moves the cursor.

@mreitenb
Can you try unchecking Enable touch gestures support as reported at #709
However, ImageGlass does not officially support touchpad gestures (#305).

[mreitenb]

Unchecking this box does not make a difference.

I had to remind myself about gesture handling and the relevant IG code. Looks like a bug, sorry about all the back-and-forth.

First, IG's gesture handling is coded to be supported only when "Enable touch" option is ON.

Second, the code "should" have worked for touchpad, but obviously is not. IG's gesture handling code needs to be revisited for touchpad as well as touch.

OK, thanks for looking into it. I will keep my eyes open for future commits.

Would like to know when the next release comes out to fix this

Sure, that would be great.    Markus On Saturday, April 17, 2021, 06:15:39 PM MDT, BrandonKMLee ***@***.***> wrote: Would like to know when the next release comes out to fix this — You are receiving this because you were mentioned. Reply to this email directly, view it on GitHub, or unsubscribe.

Touchpad is also not working for me. So I can't use Pinch to Zoom functionality.
