[ANSWERED] IzzyMap issues with v3 [changed keyboard modifiers on IzzyMap]

mclefferson

I went to use the composite mapping tool in izzy map in version 3.0.1 and I had issues. When I opened up the input menu I was unable to add points to the solid when I pressed the alt/option key on the mac. I tried to do the same thing in 2.6.1 with the same patch before it had been converted to v3 and I was able to create points in the composite mapper. Did the keyboard shortcut change or is this a glitch?

Hi there,

On Windows (Only machine at the moment) I'm able to add points by using CTRL and then click the line of the shape.

Is the same with the output menu?

Assign n and out points work here with right mouse click only

Dear @mclefferson

We changed the modifier keys on some features to try and make Isadora as consistent as possible. One of these was the opt/alt key: it means zoom on the Scene Editor and Control Panel, and we wanted this to be the same in Izzy Map and in the new Stage Setup window.

The new modifier to add points is the command key on MacOS, and the control key on Windows. This may have been left out of the release notes, I'm asking @Woland to check on this.

You can see that it's working because the zoom modifiers shows a hand/magnifying glass cursor, while the command/control modifier shows the "cursor plus" cursor when you're pointing at one of the lines in the shape.

Please try this modifier (while in the Input tab only!) and let me know if it works for you as it does for me.

Best Wishes,
Mark

[EDIT: just booted over to windows to make sure it works on Windows too, and it does.]

looks like the shortcut change slipped past me. I’ll get it into the release notes today or tomorrow.

Best wishes,

[EDIT] @barneybroomer

For purposes of clarifying this post, I have accumulated all of your comments about publishing control points in this single commne, since what you had to say did not apply to the original poster's question.

[NOTES ON ADDING CONTROL POINTS]

Hi Mark, I am running Mojave 10.14.5 on all computers. The functionality in your video is about adding control points, which makes sense, because that was the original question. I was still hanging at publishing control points, that is not working sorry for my mistake!

So adding control points is working fine with the trackpad and mouse in 10.14.5. Publishing points with the trackpad only with right mouse click. I was under the impression this was also Command-click

So I started up both MacBooks , now publishing with right-click trackpad works again, but after 10 minutes or so it doing it again, losing that right click trackpad control to publish control points. Then I uncheck Disable Scroll Wheel Editing of Actors Inputs, and it works again. It is weird behaviour that I can't explain.

About Click Behavior

Mac Pro with a mouse command modifier does not work at all for control points, right click does.
Mackbook Pro I7 command modifier does not work at all for control points, right click does on the trackpad
Macbook ProI9 command modifier does not work at all for control points, right click also not the trackpad

About Relationship to Disable Scroll Wheel Preferences

One thing I find out If you disable scroll wheel editing of actor inputs in preferences it also disables the right click command..... Command modifier works on none of them

TRACKPAD: When uncheck "Disable Scroll Wheel Editing of Actors Inputs" right click (bottom right trackpad in my case) works; When check "Disable Scroll Wheel Editing of Actors Inputs" right click (bottom right trackpad in my case) works NOT

MOUSE: Right click with a connected mouse works on check or unchecked "Disable Scroll Wheel Editing of Actors Inputs"

I've fixed it so that control clicking a point will show the publish pop-up menu for 3.0.2. No need to file a ticket.

But the functionality of control clicking adds a point now? Then you have the same modifier for adding and publishing?

Cmd+Click adds points for me, not control.

Sorry! Today all day behind Windows/Mac makes me confuse, so, control-click publish points and command-click adding points. Thanks

No worries, I only knew that because I went and checked to verify. It's a lot to keep straight in one's head, especially cross-platform.
