New update breaks some things (update)

The new apple trackpad update breaks quite some things
I’ll try to fix them as soon as possible.

Don’t update if you need the three or four finger click gesture. I may not be able to keep those.

For now the only solution is to disable tap to click if you want the two finger tiptaps etc.

Currently broken:

three finger tiptaps
two finger tiptaps
three finger tap or click

I’ll be able to fix most of them but I think we may lose the three finger click and the four finger click. I’ll post a version which brings back working two finger tiptaps and three finger tiptaps tomorrow at roughly this time.

All my gestures seem to work fine.

But I do have a slight minor problem even before this update.

For switching between tabs in my web browsers, I just one finger tiptaps. But occasionally when scrolling with two fingers, it would trigger this gesture resulting in going to a different tab.

Should I adjust the tiptap sensitivity or is this a bug?

Huh. At first, BTT didn’t work and the normal Apple gestures didn’t either. I closed BTT, and the Apple gestures worked; I then reopened BTT and everything is working again.

Might be something funky with the initial startup after the update?

FWIW, I’m avoiding all the gestures listed above. I have 3-finger dragging on in Apple’s prefs, but all four-finger actions disabled; I am using 4-finger swipes up and down (with and without command) for expose/dashboard actions, five-finger swipes to resize windows (max, left, right, restore), alt+scroll to go to home/end, and tip-swipes to move to the space in the indicated direction (by pressing the key combo I have associated with that in the Spaces pref pane). I also moved my three-finger tap and click to four-finger tap and click for the middle button.

All these are working for me here. I rather like the three-finger drag/click functionality, although I suspect I’ll be hitting the three-finger middle-click quite a bit before I get used to it being four fingers now …

Andreas

Do you think you will be able to keep the gestures if we elect to turn off the 3 finger drag? I’ve actually not downloaded the update because i’m so used to your awesome gestures!

Thanks

I found another issue on my late 2008 15″ mbp after updating

Tip Tap Left in Safari in which I set to be “command – click” works, but differently.

Usually command click would just open the link in new tab. It still does if I deliberately hold down the command key and click or tap on the link.

However if I use the Tip Tap Left gesture, it would open the link in new tab, along with opening the link in the same tab/window where I click the link.

Did that sound confusing? I find it quite difficult to explain.

Yeah, my two finger tiptap left action for middle clicking is sort of broken. It still performs a middle click, but also performs a regular click as well. Strange.

Ich habe einen MBP mit 10.6.4 und dem neuen Touchpad-Update, BTT 0.587, und bei mir tun es 3-F-Tap, 3-F-Click, und 4-F-Tap wie gehabt.

In den Systemeinstellungen habe ich alle 2-Finger-Optionen an, bei 3-Finder “Navigieren durch Wischen” aktiviert, und beide 4-Finger-Optionen ausgemacht.

For whatever it may be worth, here’s the Google translation of Falk’s comment.

“I had a MBP with 10.6.4 and the new touchpad update, BTT 0587, and for me to do 3-F-Tap, 3-F-click, and 4-F-Tap like.

In the system I have all the two-finger options, enabled for 3-finder “Browse by wiping, and identified both 4-finger options.”
