xtraa Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Hi, after several attempts of trying to control FrontRow via Salling Clicker or Romeo I gave it up and thought it might be a better idea to simply take the thingy that is always in my Hand when I am in front of my puter. Edit: works with all kind of mouse vendors, you can modify oit your way Functions: Every mousebutton will work as normal if frontrow is not active. Up&Down via mousewheel (also volume control) Left&Right via thumb buttons (also next fwd title) Left mouseclick is Enter, and Right is Escape Instructions: 1. install iKey 2. drop in my script (see attachment here) Note: Keep in mind that I made this for a Logitech MX700 but it should work with every USB mouse, no matter what is in between (Bluetooth, Cable, IR or Radio). Also, if you don't feel comftable with the config, you can take a look in the script with the iKey editor and it will approximately take you about 10 minutes to get your mousebuttons set up the way you want. Also it seems to be a little laggy sometimes but I don't care // EDIT: updated attachment: I hope you like it FrontRow2.ikex.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtraa Posted May 22, 2006 Author Share Posted May 22, 2006 Sorry for the naive of my question but.,. how do i drop it?Ikey doesnt have a dock icon... Cheers Hi, sorry for not making that clear: You can click on the iKey symbol in the menubar and select iKey editor. then simply drop it in the open window. Or - classic way - open iKey, located in programs, and then do it via File>Import. Tell me if this works for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtraa Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Hi mates, have you entered you usb mouse IDS in the profile? No, this is not necessary hey mate it only half works with my MX1000 the thumbbuttons work, but then the left and right click wont :S Ok It is really easy, for example customizing your leftclick: - open the iKey editor 1. in the list, doubleclick on "Type Return" (this is what the left key should do 2. in the new window under "launchers" doubleclick on the entry 3. now simply press your desired mousebutton (iKey displays the autodetected mousebutton) - click ok and quit the editor 1.2.3.: You can do this procedure with every mousebutton you want. Note that it is sometimes better not to click on ok in the last window, but to hit enter instead. otherwise it will detect your mouseclick again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ipod_man Posted May 24, 2006 Share Posted May 24, 2006 i assumed thats what i was meant to do, but problems occur, when i go to usb reciver... nothing happens when i click or do anything with the mouse. somethings wrong there, and there is no "type return" in your script, but no biggie, thats all fixable. but the reciver thing is a shame are you using logitech control centre for your mouse? maybe the drivers are clashing?

aleszylder Posted May 25, 2006 Share Posted May 25, 2006 Sorry but when I try to drop the script, it seems it's empty, no commands in it. I have managed for the enter and esc key, but don´t know how to configure the mouse wheel, is there any trick? Anyway thanks for sharing this info!

xtraa Posted May 26, 2006 Author Share Posted May 26, 2006 are you using logitech control centre for your mouse? maybe the drivers are clashing? Hmm, no I used to have the logitech Mousecenter installed but I deinstalled it for two reasons: 1. it does nothing better than OSX 2. You won't be able to run FrontRow with the FrontRowPass.kext, because it takes control over your USB HID Device. Sorry but when I try to drop the script, it seems it's empty, no commands in it. I have managed for the enter and esc key, but don´t know how to configure the mouse wheel, is there any trick? Anyway thanks for sharing this info! Hmm, strange. What iKey version do you have? This one is new: Version 2.2.1b2 Improvements: - add support for more usb devices (sorry 4 the stoopid question, but talking about the empty script: did you unpack the zipped file before dropping?)

aleszylder Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 sorry 4 the stoopid question, but talking about the empty script: did you unpack the zipped file before dropping? Of course, Safari does that automaticaly... I have the latest version of iKey (downloaded yesterday)... It's weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird Ok guys, now i know... iKey is a little stupid, or I was I had to mark every task and then click on export, so I uploaded the script again, and also updated the first link. So try this, It should work now: (see attachment)FrontRow2.ikex.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfriki Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 hi there, i have a problem, when a run ikey it says me: "unable to find the usb receiver" usb device. and so despite the fact the script is installed, is not working. any tip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vassalle Posted May 26, 2006 Share Posted May 26, 2006 yerp.. same here with me.. well, it could be because of my setup i guess. i have a mx700 connected via ps/2 socket and a mx 510 @ usb. Could that be the cause for me getting the "unable to find the USB receiver" error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is important because otherwise iKey won't be able to find a HID device, too. So no PS2, if possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
