That's strange. Is the window created during recording/replying or does it exist before? If created during recording, use: --recall-window-position if not, use: --xnee_replay_offset (will be renamed to '--replay-offset' in coming 3.0.2) > It seems that Xnee is recording absolute mouse positions.

This would eliminate the problem mentioned above. It would be hard to implement and I am not sure it's worth it. What window events should belong to what windows. Let's say that we move the mouse over a window while recording. During replay you say we make the window active (by clicking?). Then we interfere with the recorded session. I think there's another problem with your proposal (correct if I am wrong!!!). Let's say we have two windows there were created during recording, A and B. Window A was created first and B second. So when we replay Window B is created first since something strange happened that slowed down A. Now, we'll end up with A's events being replayed to B and vice versa. - Wouldn't he same thing will happen with --recall-window-position? Yes :( > Would my solution be possible? Not sure. I may lack coffee at the moment (actually I need to put on some more) so I may be wrong :) > Would my solution be desirable or I am just missing something? A solution is desirable... so let's keep talking until we find one! /hesa _______________________________________________ Xnee-devel mailing list Xnee-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/xnee-devel
