Unusable with tablet under Mac os 10.5

by Louis Dozois · in Constructor · 03/07/2008 (10:56 am) · 3 replies

I exclusively use a tablet at home both in pen and mouse mode. Saves me from using that god awful mighty-mouse!
Anyway. Though pointing and clicking works fine, viewport navigation is completely unusable, even using the tablet mouse.
Obviously, this is a huge barrier to my getting into Constructor.

PS:I've only tried Constructor 1.0.3. I'll be trying 1.0.4 over the week-end as suggested by Dave.

The Mighty Mouse forced me to buy a $5 USB Microsoft optical scroll mouse from WalMart. Much better investment than the evil of MM.

Hopefully 1.0.4 works since it is compiled against a later Apple SDK (I think). That console log you sent me was pretty damn scary!

@Louis: I'm not sure 1.0.4 will help, as someone else has reported this exact problem. If you use a regular mouse, you won't have the issue though. Still, you are welcome to try 1.0.4, as it does contain some bug fixes.

@David: Yep - 1.0.4 is compiled with the latest SDK, using XCode 3.

I have a newer version coming soon ("real soon now") with some more changes.

I would love to try this forthcoming version as several attempts at installing 1.0.4 (following the instructions very carefully) yielded a Contructor that would no longer even start up. I have, more or less, resolved to having to buy myself a Logitech or similar mouse for use in Constructor.. Indeed the Mighty Mouse is nye unusable!
