Potential bug: Using Mac OSX + Magic Mouse

Post by krisr »

This is a weird one. When opening up MLV, and trying to open up a log file (I keep all my logs on Google Drive), when trying to click through the folder structure, I can highlight the folder but it's like the button click isn't recognised. When I use the Macbook Pro's track pad it clicks through fine though. Has anyone else experienced this with a Magic Mouse before?

Also, I just tried a normal USB Logitech mouse and similar issue it seems.

Hi I just tried to "recreate" this problem youre having by using my Magic Mouse and everything functions as it should on my setup. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro 15" running Sierra and my MegalogViewer is up to date. Maybe it has something to do with either Google drive or something with your settings in the OS.

Folder browsing in MLV on OSX is cumbersome. None of the regular OSX keyboard shortcuts work like "cmd-D" for jump-to-desktop or "cmd-crsrUP" for going one directory higher.
For this I've arranged my setup so I don't have to change folders to load logs.
When I want to check out say, someone else's log, I just copy it temporarly to my own log folder, just to prevent having to work my way to my downloads folder with MLV.

Sometimes certain things can work better if you change the look&feel to something else.

Yeah now i'm not sure if the latest Sierra update fixed it or what is happening, but I can now traverse the folders when trying to open logs, very bizarre! But hey, if it works it works.

Thanks for looking guys, appreciate it.
