- Some bugfixes for the new gesture (should conflict less with orignal apple 3 finger swipes etc)
- added left and right (but currently only for touchpad) too
- Renamed the gesture to TipSwipe Left Finger Up/Down/Right/Left
- fixed a problem where some programs froze for about 2 seconds after dragging

- //EDIT: sorry download link was broken tonight, should be fixed now (… 10 minutes later NOW it should really work)
- added a new gesture, it’s currently called “3 finger touch, left finger swipe up/down” (if you have better names please suggest
) I think this image should explain this gesture:
- (it’s currently a very basic implementation. If it works I’ll add right and middle swipe too)
- some bugfixes
- this gesture currently counts as 3 finger swipe, so if you don’t mind scrolling while you use this gesture you can activate scrolling by activating it in the swipes section for the three finger swipes

- btt shouldn’t restart after sleep anymore and shouldn’t quit randomly anymore.
- added a pressure slider for the two finger click, if you had problems with unwanted two finger clicks you can try raising the value of this slider.
- disabled the windows 7 style window moving for adobe apps because it seems that this caused some problems with dragging (@adobe please support the accessibility api better)
//edit: 0.5165
- the windows 7 style moving can now be disabled for normal window dragging and only be used for the window moving stuff using predefined actions
- added a very first implementation of restore old window size. So if you e.g. maximized a window it will resize to it’s old size after you drag it away again. This is currently only for testing, you have to activate it if you want to try it.
- some fixes
//edit: 0.5166
- now it’s for each edge (left/top/right) selectable if they work only with the predefined actions start/stop moving and/or with normal dragging (if you had disabled this you’ll have to disable it again – sorry!)
- the preview window color can be set to white
- separated the window snapping stuff in a new tab in predefined actions.
- fixed problems with restoring original window size
I’ll now go through all bugs etc. you reported and try to fix them. Also I’ll work on the interface and make it easier and I’m going to create a much better Documentation which will be kept up to date if it’s finished. I’m thinking about creating s.th. like a learning mode which checks which pressure you usually use etc. and trys to find optimal values. This would make many of the sliders irrelevant.

Wuhu! Have to do some work now but in my spare time I finally have time to work on BTT again. So expect new version by the weekend.
Ah and if some of you are looking for a great online backup/synchronizing solution with support for undeleting files etc. I’d be happy if you’d use this link to register at dropbox.com https://www.dropbox.com/referrals/NTEwMDI2NTM5 (you and I will get 250MB extra space
//Old EDIT: I needed some break today after an exam and fixed one or two little things for relaxation (one of them was a problem with dragging in some apps, the others were some window moving stuff)

- fixed bug with window moving on multiple monitors
- windows 7 style window moving (resize windows if cursor at the left /top/right while dragging) now possible with normal dragging (you don’t have to use the btt moving features anymore to use it and it should even work with every mouse and touchpad, not just the magic mouse)
- various little fixes
if you don’t want the w7 stuff disable it (left edge, top edge, right edge)

//edit: 0.5160 should care about problems where dragging the scroll bar in e.g. firefox also resulted in a resize

As I didn’t want to learn the last half hour I tried to fix a few things.
- tried to improve two finger tiptaps on the magic mouse (sometimes the first tiptap after a while was not recognized correctly) and it sometimes triggered three finger taps
- you now don’t have to lift your fingers after doing a custom four finger swipe on the touchpad, so you can directly swipe back in the other direction
- three finger touch top disabled other three finger gestures, this shouldn’t happen anymore.
- may solve problem with three finger tiptaps and apple four finger swipes

//edit: if you want to really alphatest you can try this alpha which tries to enable the window 7 style windows resizing for normal window dragging too. (so you don’t have the btt window moving in order to resize / maximize the windows)
Ah and if you wonder which gestures I use…

some people reported that the 3 finger click on the magic mouse stopped working with the last release. I raised the size / pressure needed for the 3 finger click in the last version a little bit (in order to prevent false positive clicks) and I think this may cause those problems for some of you.
Could you try if it works with this version for you? Download & use at your own risk.
In this version the higher pressure is optional (Preferences => Mouse => Clicks => 3 Finger Click)
//Edit: added a new section to this page “HowTo Videos“. There isn’t much stuff in it yet, but I’ll try to care about every aspect of BTT using those videos sooner or later.

I still don’t have time for anything (see last blogpost) but here a testing version with a few bugfixes. (it’s not on alpha update, you have to download it manually)
- rotate & zoom sensitivity for touchpad should now work (but you may have to change the default values)
- fixed various bugs & conflicting gestures, especially on the touchpad. (e.g. 3 finger tiptaps, 2 finger tiptaps, five finger click etc. sometimes triggered accidentally or conflicted)
- tapping with the magic mouse should now work even if you are touching the touchpad at the same time
- window moving & resizing bugs, e.g. windows should now be brought to front correctly if selected
//edit: testing3, may fix problem with 3 finger swipes introduced in testing1
//edit: testing4, adds single finger touch top for window moving or resizing and should fix some bugs.
//edit: put it to autoupdate as 0.5156 (0.5156 should fix problem with standard zoom events passing through)
