keyboard functions not working after reboot

Post by twistedsam » 13 Sep 2011, 09:35

Hi


I've been using hidmacros for some while now, got the latest version installed.
All worked well, but after a few pc reboots, when i open the program, i can see all my macro's in the list, but they keyboard won't do them,
I had the same problem with the older versions.

is there a solution for this.
beqouse now i have to asign all macro's back again to the keys.


Best regards, Sammy

I assume program lost link between keyboard and macro definitions. So keyboard name in macro definition is red.
There seems to be a bug in application, but happens only sometimes and I can not reproduce it so it's hard to fix.
But what should definitely help is to assign some names to you keyboards. In Devices tab you can rename the keyboard and set different name than default "keyb1" etc. Experiences show that if your keyboards have some specific names, link between macros is not occasionally lost.
If you have many macros defined in your configuration, you can probably restore the link by editing xml configuration file - giving name to your keyboard and setting this name in macros. Could be faster solution then reassigning all macros.
Hope it helps.

Did you rename the keyboard name?

Sometimes if you unplug the keyboard it loses all the associations but once you put back the original keyboard name the macros return to their correct associations.
