Well, I found some work arounds that might work till we get this
mouse thing fixed.
It's clunky though.
I can chain actions or spots together to route to a window and then
feed it the right window number and press enter with key values.
This means a setfile has to be loaded too.
But since setfiles seem to always be able to route the mouse to the
right place, this does work for now.
I was able to make a combination of hotspot and setfile to click on
the right spot to trigger than latency slider.
Now I suppose one could chain spots to load an infinite number of
setfiles by feeding the right string to the load setfile hotkey dialoge right?
But we still need a better way to differentiate apps and hotspots
that belong to certain windows or we're going to be in trouble.
Still, this ability to chain spots is a huge step, I don't even think
snowman's scripts let you chain as many actions or spots together, I
think there's a limit and having too many actions in we could get
unweildy, but still,
this is really going to put some good tools in a non-programmer's hands.
Hi gang,
First of all, much thanks to Aaron, Tom, and others who are working
on this, this will make a lot of things possible with we for the
non-programming or scripting crowd, similar to what snowman's script
hot spot clicker does for jaws.
It has a way to go to get that good, but it took years of work for
that package, and I'm just so pleased that something like that is
developing for we.
Ok, I have been working diligently with hotspot and managed to get
sfz for sonar 8.5.2 spotted.
While doing so, I noticed that the mouse doesn't always get put in
the right place, even if you use the use current mouse setting.
But I managed to get the 8 or so spotts done in that app.
I also tried to spot the latency slider in the delta card control
pannel in w7 64 bit, that delta 44 pannel is not nearly as accessible
as the older one, but there is a button which I defined a window
around in a setfile to ramp the latency down but with hot spot I
could never make the mouse go to the right place.
Even when the numbers were right, when I checked the mouse
cordinates, the numbers would always be wrong.
Also there is something else to consider.
We need a different way to get top level window names if not exactly
like jaws hsc does, something more robust than we have and this is why.
I started spotting session drummer 3 which I've done extensive
set files for and also hsc sets and I sell that for a modest price
for access to that plug-in.
But there is no way to separate those spots from say, the sfz spots,
because they're all lumped under sonarpdr.
We need a way to differentiate plug-ins from the main app.
Maybe hard-wire the code to look for a window title or something.
Because sonar can have dozens of plug-ins and your going to run out
of hot-keys or have spots triggering in un-desirable places if
everything is active all the time.
Maybe this can be accomplished by putting all the spots in one place,
but this is the reason I thought maybe doing spots in separate files
might work better, but I'm not a programmer, maybe you could
accomplish the same thing but have sections differientiated in one file.
But regardless of the current limitations, thanks a bunch for
bringing this script along, it wasn't useable before, and at least
now, it works for some things and is getting better.
Now I got a question, since window-eyes native route mouse to window
works very well for exact placement of the mouse, is there a way to
finger a set-file for window cordinates and make the mouse obey that
criteria, and would that maybe make the mouse placement more accurate?
I'm fishing here, but something we does natively gets the job done
better than the script does, and if we could tune in to that somehow,
would it help?
Or could the script immulate what we does?
I have no idea what might be messing the script up from finding the
mouse cordinates in those situations where it does, but it's a thought anyway.
Bye for now, and I'll be giving this script a thorough workout to see
what-else works well and what doesn't.

I was just going to continue and see what would happen if I made
some change to the two measurement boxes and when I pressed enter I
got an error message. I sent it off with my comments. So there is
something wrong with my trying to use the hot spot for my purpose.
I 'll wait and see if there is any feed back from aaron on this.
Maybe it just won't work for me.

good morning,
I am trying to play around with the new hotspot and I am not
getting something right.
I thought I might try to use this script to read an anoying pop up
window but after I get my mouse to the text that is in this short
lived window and press the control alt p to secure the mouse
cordinates the actions exicute hot key is empty.
I am placed in an empty bosx that is a read only and the other two
places here are the mouse direction and the delay. I can't chose
any hot key to excicute.
What is wrong? Why are there no hot keys to chose from. I was
looking for the read current line hot key but there aren't any keys
to chose from.
Have I not done something right?
Shannon
