1/1/2023 0 Comments Magicprefs not opening![]() Meanwhile, there are other 3D modeling applications which do provide support for apple magic devices so people that have tried these other apps know it’s possible to do in sketchup… and that’s what the feature request is asking for – for sketchUp.app to obtain support for apple trackpads and mice. This is sketchup’s ‘official’ feature request forum and a trimble developer is directly engaged in the thread.Īnd my point is more to them instead of you that magicprefs (nor better touch tool nor any of the 3rd party utilities that i’ve tried over the years ) is not capable of offering a proper solution to the problem of navigating a sketchup model with apple’s hardware.Īnd also, a little more history since you’ve just joined yesterday and have only posted in this one thread- this forum is the 5th(?) incarnation of an official or semi-official sketchup forum… i can’t link to the old topics as they’ve disappeared but i’ve been asking for apple trackpad support in sketchup since my 2003 powerbook… the support hasn’t come in 10 years time and maybe it’s just a bit frustrating for someone to come along and say ‘hey, here’s one word and it’s the solution!’ when really, it’s not the solution… i’ve tried 3rd party offering (probably more than you) over and over with each new release and none have worked well yet… I get it that you think i’m attacking you or being a jerk or whatever but from my side, there’s more to it than that. I used to be a designer yet I found this to be a very rewarding experience so I suggest giving it a go.And, i’m sure you see that “magic mouse” are the first two words of the thread title.ĭidn’t realize I should only be reading the first two words of a thread title. Apple left out certain settings from the System Preferences for a reason. Just be sure to think twice about what you are toggling before you hit the "Run" button. The trick is to find the setting in the ist file that toggles the scrolling, if one exists. Open the file in BBEdit and look at the ist file, which contains XML (albeit a bit wonky). If you want to write something from scratch, then near as I can tell from a quick search, /System/Library/Extensions/AppleMultitouchDriver.kext is the file that holds all the settings that you can change. Search for "Mac OS X defaults" in your search engine of choice and you're bound to find what you need. There are a number of tutorials out there and lists of settings to toggle if just know where (and how) to look. To turn it off, then you need only change the last word to no and re-run. ![]() I'm not at my Snow Leopard machine at the moment, but if you want to do this now, then you'll need to put on your programming cap for a minute.Īs an example, if you wanted to enable momentum scrolling, then you would write an Applescript like this: do shell script "defaults write .mouse MouseMomentumScroll -bool yes" ![]() The reason why this is so difficult is because Apple doesn't like it when people futz with system preferences like this, but they do have a shell command called defaults that lets users toggle all sorts of stuff. That might actually be what you need to sort out your mousketeering issues. There is also an application called MagicPrefs that will help unlock and set a bunch of hidden features of the mouse. I'm sure there is one for vertical scrolling (though I'm not sure why anyone would do that, designer or otherwise). I did some digging around, and there is a command for turning off horizontal scrolling: defaults write .mouse MouseHorizontalScroll -bool NO ![]()
