BetterTouchTool & SecondBar » BetterTouchTool http://blog.boastr.net Great Tools For Your Mac By Andreas Hegenberg Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:09:57 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 I finally got a donate button :-) http://blog.boastr.net/?p=2098 http://blog.boastr.net/?p=2098#comments Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:53:57 +0000 Andreas Hegenberg http://blog.boastr.net/?p=2098 You may have noticed that I currently don’t have very much time for the development of SecondBar and BetterTouchTool. I’m student and need to pay for a little apartment, food, some creditcard debts etc..  Therefore I have two jobs. Unfortunately those jobs take quite some time (and I’m also still studying ;-) ). Until now I couldn’t place a donation button on this blog or in my tools because of silly tax stuff and other regulations. Those limitations are gone now :-)

I don’t know if anyone will donate s.th. but I hope that a few of you will consider it. Think of it as buying me a coffee/beer :-) I hope this will allow me to spend more time for development.

Everybody who donates ANYTHING is guaranteed to get a free license of Secondbar and BTT if I somewhen should decide to charge for them. (they’ll stay free for now but I’m not entirely sure what I’ll do with them in the future)
So here you go:


Thanks a bunch to everybody who decides to donate even if it’s just a dollar / euro.

I’ll provide statistics of how much has been donated in a few days

Please stay tuned and don’t be angry if I don’t answer your email etc.. I’ll read through them in about a week.

  • Some crashfixes

  • padding can now be disabled for maximizing windows
  • rightclick with the touchpad should be possible again by holding two fingers on the trackpad and clicking with the thumb
  • different bugfixes
  • should improve the two finger tap on the magic mouse (less false positives!)

    • //edit: I hope 0.605 fixes a crashing bug which was introduced with 0.603

    download

    //edit : haven’t found a reliable solution to make three and four finger clicks work again on early 2008 macbooks PRO. If you have such a macbook and want to test mail me (bettertouchtool [at ] boastr.net)

  • Two finger tiptaps and normal tiptaps can be used with predefined action start/stop moving and resizing now. So you perform a tiptap, leave one finger on the trackpad and move it in order to move the window under the cursor.
  • the window moving and snapping features now support a padding (I hope this is the correct word).

If you activate it the normal doubletap to drag will automatically be disabled. If you want to use both of them at the same time, download and start this: DraggingReenabler (as always, snow leopard only)

    //edit forgot to mention: this one currently doesn’t work on magic trackpad

I’ll fix this soon. Thanks for everybody who reported that.

  • allows you to use the new three finger dragging while BTT is running. I still don’t recommend using it though because it conflicts with some gestures. But at least it’s possible now.

    • So with BTT it’s now possible to use the 3 finger dragging while maintaining the navigation features. E.g. you can map the four finger swipes to do the navigation.
