kami Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 A number of people (I am one of them) set the mouse buttons 4 to DoubleClick. During play, if you press this button and you happen to win the trick and you are the 4th player playing the card to the trick, the next card in that suit is played automatically. BBO software should detect double click and treat it as a single click, as opposed to two separate single clicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRG Posted April 28, 2003 Report Share Posted April 28, 2003 I'm curious. Why would one ever set their computer so that when a mouse button is clicked (i.e. single-click), it acts as if it had been double-clicked? Don't you get applications launched twice if you click in the application launcher? ... and other funny behaviour? Double-clicking is simply two single-clicks, close together. How close they have to be to be considered a "double-click" can be set in the software. Seems to me that a setting that says emit two single clicks close together everytime I click a mouse button is corrupting the interface. By the way, the BBO software has been carefully designed so that it is NEVER necessary to double-click!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kami Posted May 9, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 The reason I raised this issue is that I come across two users who think BBO software sometimes plays cards automatically, when I ask them if they have a double click button the answer is yes. This must be a common problem and is not doing BBOs good HI justice. Unix application launchers use a single click to start application, on Windows you require a double click, hence the popularity of the key. Many HIs regardless of the OPSY use double click for default selection, this includes BBO software file selection (e.g. load CC, save CC, etc.). Please note that 4 button mouse has been round for a while, most people set the 4th button to double click. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csdenmark Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 You don't need to double-click at all. In Windows, all versions, you can set up to handle everything by single-click. And so it acts on BBO too. To speed things a bit up I think it will be helpful if more players would set for autoplay of singletons. Then you don't need clicking such at all, lol Yours Claus - csdenmark ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBO software should detect double click and treat it as a single click, as opposed to two separate single clicks. In the next version of the BBO software the second click of a double click will be ignored. The next version will be released as soon as we figure out how to fix a couple of stubborn bugs...

JRG Posted May 9, 2003 Report Share Posted May 9, 2003 Kami, I misunderstood your original post. I thought you were using "4" to mean "for"! Sorry. Funny though, about 4-button mice, I still prefer the Apple one-button mouse. But then again, maybe I'm just wierd. I hadn't come across 4-button mice under Unix, though most of my Unix experience was HP (HP-UX) which used a 3-button mouse and a little bit of Sun (though using a PC with an X-Term). Anyway, Fred seems to have come up with a fix that will resolve the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
