VW2009 and Service Pack 2 / [Still no] track pad fix


Recommended Posts

I won't harp about this. It didn't help much last time when Service Pack 1 came out. I am just wondering when, if ever, there will be a fix for the zooming in and out using the Macbook Pro track pad and having the drawing regenerate correctly.

To remedy the zooming situation on MacBooks and MackBook Pros, download the attached file. Rename it "TrackPad_Fix_Pref.vss".

After Service Pack 2 has been installed, please run the VectorScript file from the Menu Bar command "Tools > Scripts > Run VectorScript...". Select the .vss file.

This will create a new setting in your VW user preference file and assign the appropriate value to remedy the situation... At least it worked for me an my 2006 17" MacBook Pro...

Could you possibly post a link (on the SP2 announcement that I can't reply to) a link to the installation notes (rather than release notes). I skipped past a comment/warning about installing Nvidia driver more recent than June 2008 before my brain had time to realise that it referenced a potentially important link. And I am no longer able to find the reference.

strangely, when I try to run this script via Tools > Scripts > Run VectorScript...,

I cannot select it (item is greyed out)

and yes, it is renamed as in the message above.

N.B. I am able to run the script only with the ".txt" extension, item remains greyed out with the extension ".vs"

This script remedies the redraw after zooming issue on my MacPro tower referenced in post:

yes, .vss or .txt both work fine but not .vs

one can easily create a new file in simpletext with the contents

SetPref(10002,TRUE);

AlrtDialog('done');

save as whatever... in my case it was zoom_fix.vss

I added the alert dialog to confirm that the script has executed

Jeffrey... the script doesn't work on a Macbook, intel core 2 duo.

How do you know?

OK, here's another script:

MESSAGE(GETPREF(10002));

If it returns TRUE, the script has worked - which does not mean that it would have had the desired effect...

Apologies for flippancy. I'll go and install the SP into my MacBook.

actually tried your suggestion just for giggles... returned "false"

checked the xml file, definitely read "

"

Jeffery, I clicked on the "attachment" link which opened a new page with only this:

SetPref(10002,TRUE);

AlrtDialog('done');

I copied this, opened Textedit and pasted it and saved it as:

TrackPad_Fix_Pref.vss

I then ran Vectorscript and it only gave me an error report. Any ideas?
