Touchscreen issues

Post by kwelch007 »

Hi all,

(Using version 3.5.7)

So, I had to upgrade laptops for gigs. While I was at it, I decided to buy a touch-screen "convertible" laptop (HP Envy x360 15.) I was setting up the touchscreen 2 interface, and ran in to a problem.

So, the buttons I have set up for my cuelists and various other functions work fine. But, when setting up for Override buttons that are "Flash" buttons (aka, press and hold,) they don't work well at all. If I hit them 7 or 8 times, sometimes they work, but that is not acceptable for my application. I'm certain this isn't an issue with my touchscreen because all other buttons work perfectly, and even the "flash" buttons work, just not every time.

It is entirely possible that I've set something up wrong or something, but I've searched the forum and it seems that others have had the same problem. Not a huge deal as I can still use keyboard shortcuts to run my shows, but since I have this touchscreen, I want to use it. Could we please put this on the bucket list of things to look at during this development iteration?

Also, it would be super nice to be able to resize the Touchscreen buttons (there are a couple functions that I would like easy/blind-man access to, so a giant button would be cool.) Maybe there's a way to do this and I just haven't found it. Guidance would be very much appreciated!

Thanks!
Kendell

Windows thinks if you hold down the button on a touchscreen that it goes to right click mode. You can change the settings in your touchscreen preferences

changed settings and tryed evrything in settings but still not working, whit touch interface 1 flash buttons dont react at all

BTW flash buttons worked fine when i had 15'' one touch touch screen, thats the main reason why i upgraded to multi touch touch screen, to be able to press multiple buttons in touchscreen interface

this brings up another question, does freestyler touch interface support multitouch ?
