EitherMouse 0.75 - Multiple mice, individual settings...

Post by **gwarble** » 29 Aug 2018, 18:13

Thanks for the feedback guys... Sorry I haven't been able to update lately, just moved and boy does that take up your free time!

I will try to get a fix up soon to take care of the "zero device" issue, which will probably solve your Evoluent mouse issue but if not we can work on a solution from there...

As for the false-positive threat issue, its an ongoing issue that I normally respond to users with something like:

Thanks for the feedback, its a known and ongoing problem with antivirus software. Most will let you ignore the detection or add it to a whitelist. You can try reporting the false positive to your antivirus company, but I gave up bothering with that years ago as i never made any progress. To date, since first released in 2009, i have not once found an actual infection of any file from eithermouse.com... and if you run it through virustotal.com you usually get around 2 out of 65 false positives. Personally i assume 2 are wrong and 63 are right, but i guess thats for the end user to decide. I will double check that there are no infections currently and let you know if I'm mistaken. Someday I will buy the license needed to created "signed" executables that may (or may not) help with the false positives, but its not cheap. You can also try downloading EitherMouse.exe directly, or EitherMouse.zip and extract, and skip the setup program to see if that helps.

I'm having the 3rd cursor issue as well with one of my mice; prevents me from clicking with it because the 3rd cursor seems to be held down, so clicking is like clicking or dragging to the 2nd point of a selection box. I looked for a way to disable or expressly say I only have 2 mice to see if that could be a workaround, but there is no such option, heh.

I'm not surprised I had an issue though, because my mouse is an Evoluent v4 ergonomic mouse, so we're not talking normal drivers and I'm mostly expecting I won't be able to do this independent-cursor-per-mouse idea.

However, since you specifically pointed out ergonomics as being on your mind as part of the use for this set up (and exactly fits my case), I figured it was worth letting you know about this, and suggest - if you haven't already - to try to support the Evoluent since it's like a leading / high profile ergonomic mouse (or so it seems to me at least, haha).

Tried downloading it today and Windows Defender blocked the setup file as a threat:

I haven't looked into inverting the original cursor specifically, but at one point I was working on colored cursors like this:

but never really finished it... Need to make colored versions of all the cursors, fine tune the gdi+ replacement for a tooltip, etc... someday I will make the cursors for each mouse fully customizable, just a matter of free time

i still have the "zero" device bug to work out, sorry if anyone is stuck and can't use EitherMouse because of this, please email me gwarble@gmail.com or try an earlier version:

I haven't read the whole thread, so if anyone mentioned it and you gave a reason for not doing it, I apollogize.
Now, on the idea, is there a way to invert the colors on the pointer without using too many system resources on that. It's to distinguish both cursors (the tooltip is a great help, but if I can get rid of it this way, that will be great!)
Thanks in advance

Made another small change to hopefully fix the remaining resume from sleep/standby issues. Please let me know if this helps or if anyone still has the problem (or any problems)

Thanks

Ok I think i finally fixed the lingering cursor when using MultiCursor mode... please let me know if you still have any issues with that.

I also fixed a bug when mice were starting up with empty settings every once in a while

And finally, one user is still reporting issues with resuming from sleep and having to go to the tray icon to force EitherMouse to set the mouse settings properly... I thought that issue was solved, is anyone else getting this issue? Win10? Sleep/standby/hibernate? Administrator?

Thanks:

2018-7-16: v0.753 - tooltip bug fix, update bug fix
2018-7-29: second user reporting problem with lost settings when resuming from sleep, i guess this isn't fixed.

Post by **gwarble** » 13 May 2018, 12:18

Yes, sorry there is a known problem when using MultiCursor mode leaving the extra cursor laying around... I haven't had a chance to find the problem yet, but its on my short list of things to fix.

I believe this version 0.69 is still available and does not have this problem, but some other things have been fixed so you may want to try each version.

I will try to get this solved soon, just have a lot of things distracting me from working on this at the moment.
Thanks,

Sorry I haven't been able to figure out how I introduced this problem. I also haven't had a ton of time to work on it but I will get an update out as soon as I can solve it.

Thanks for the feedback

Hi Guys, great tool! Works well. But I have a problem:
When I enable the multi cursor, say for example, I have two mouses. When I move the mouse there are always 3 cursors on the screen, 2 being the active mouse, 1 being the last position of the moving mouse before it moves. Anyone have the same problem? Also when i disable the multi cursor, there will be two still stay on the screen. 1 can be moved by both of the mouses, 1 cant be moved, and can only be removed from the screen by turning the EtherMouse software off.

@gwarble I registered to express my thanks for developing this absolutely amazing utility. I was looking to write something that switched my sensitivity on the fly since I use different peripherals with greatly varying speeds. I had tried a few scrips, but they didn't work at all, before I came upon your work. I am absolutely stunned how smoothly it runs and switches between the inputs. Amazing job!

Thank you for sharing the autohotkey script, it is much appreciated. Do you have a PayPal? I would gladly buy you a cup of coffee.

This tool is AWESOME! :thumbup:

I have been searching for a tool to let me switch between two mice ever since my new PC came with Win10. I'm an ambidextrous user and recently upgraded to a straight Win10 PC which, naturally didn't have any of the Win7 tools that my previous PC with in-place upgrades used. It's been terribly frustrating to 'make do' with the limited Win10 tool for a single mouse. I'm sooooo happy :dance:

to have found this -- THANK YOU so much for creating this tool! BRAVO! :bravo:

great tool
tnx for sharing

If you download the regular release right now it should be v0.74, try that...
If you still have issues, try "Run as administrator" from the advanced menu...
If you still have issues, let me know again

I'm working on a new version to fix the "Zero Device" issue, or at least allow the option to detect it or not, as this is the worst "bug" I have to address. Anything else?

Yes, this is still an issue on both of my Windows 10 machines when coming out of any of the above. I get a pop-up window about a script error: "Could not close the previous instance of this script." Sometimes I get one window on restart and sometimes two. Was this fixed in one of the betas past the 0.71 release? I may have missed it in the string of messages.

I use it to have separate settings for my laptop touchpad and my external usb mouse.
Sometimes eithermouse recognizes a movement from the touchpad, but no movement is done.. Maybe it is too sensitive?

Post by **gwarble** » 22 Jan 2018, 22:39

Do you mean while moving two mice at the same time?
EitherMouse isn't designed for, or capable of, simultaneous usage of multiple mice. it is meant to apply different settings when different mouse devices are used, and multicursor mode allows a static placeholder for each mouse if desired. If this is what you're after, but still find the changes too fast, i can look into adding in a delay, it may help for when you accidently bump the unused mouse.

Post by **xlw12** » 22 Jan 2018, 06:44

For some reason on my pc it switches rapily between mouse 1 and 2.
Maybe adding a delay would solve this issue?

would you be able to re-introduce the fix?

Yes, sorry, I will take care of this as soon as possible

thamks! and happy new year !!!

You're welcome, and happy new year as well

Guest wrote:This is the greatest utility, I don't know what I would do without it.

In case you were unaware, the version number for this file is stored as 0.68 not 0.69, so I'm confused as to which version it is?
For that matter the latest release files on eithermouse.com are marked as 0.7.0.0 not 0.7.1.0, so that is a bit confusing as well.

Keep up the great work!

Thank you, I'm glad you find it useful. I will fix the version numbering in the next version, but unfortunately its still something I have to set manually as I haven't figured out a good AHK function to make that change to the resource of the exe automatically. someday I will, but in the meantime I will try to stay more on top of it, but everyone should use the version number from the about box to verify what version they are running as its always right, since I will inevitably forget again.

Thanks everyone for the feedback (and emails). Been busy with other things, but I will try to make an update soon addressing some of the issues.

The main issue some people are still having is the "Zero Device" problem
Does anyone still have problems with "resume from sleep/standby/hibernate/etc"?
Any other pressing issues, please report them (possibly again) now so they get prioritized
