MouseWheel - Reprogram

mike1961 · #1 03-29-2006, 01:59 AM

Hello - it seems that Sage changes the channel when I scroll with the mousewheel. Is it possible to reprogram it to change the volume instead. I have too many times over the last day accidentally moved the mouse wheel when the Sage window has the focus only to lose the "live TV" I was watching.

Thanks,
Mike

Anyone have any suggestions on this?

Thanks,

Did you look in the -Setup details-link commands and see if it is in there or if you can set it there?

I just realized... you can set these properties to define what SageTV commands are fired by mouse wheel motion:

wheel_down_event_code=12
wheel_up_event_code=11

Assign the event number of the command you want, as listed starting on p. 192 of the v4.1 manual.

Thanks - I see that but it brings me to a few more general questions:

1. How do I know when to modify the "client properties" and when to modify the "Sage Properties."

2. When I modify these properties, all too often it's like Sage immediately overwrites the file with either a backup or something else and it's like when I directly edit the properties file it doesn't "hold or save."

Thanks,
Mike

See the top of p. 218 of the v4.1 manual. (First section of Appendix A)

That explains which properties file to edit & the fact that you have to exit SageTV before editing the file.

I exited Sage before modifying the file. The only way it took was if I deleted the backup file first. Not sure why but the wheel now controls the volume rather than the channels which is exactly what I wanted.

Thanks again,

Someone pointed out that if you don't see all the extensions, then you may end up editing the wrong file. I don't know if that applies to your situation. If using Notepad, I always make sure that Format -> Word Wrap is not checked so the file doesn't get messed up.

I may not have exited out of Sage the first time and it could be that it saves to a backup upon exiting and then restored from the backup or something. Seems to work when I tried it again.

Good point about turning off the Word Wrap.

Thanks again,
Mike
