Introducing Plexer for Mac

[lacitpo]

Love the active development. Thanks for the update and bug fixes.

I'm looking at making a bigger version update. This is what I have for items that people want:

- Networking
- Start up applications, size, and position windows
- Growl support
- More customization for keys instead of just the drop-down

I'll be taking new feature requests under consideration. So if you have any, let me know.

Just want to pitch in and say that Plexer is awesome! Could finally move to my Mac for boxing! Looking forward for the "start up applications, size and position" part though - it's the only thing I've been missing so far.

Cheers!

I've had the multiple keystrokes pop up too - a restart will clear it up.

I've been using it a while, it crashed once, but ever since, it's been rock solid.

The two features I want, would be PiP like Keyclone, and mouse targeting, so I can use AOE on my slaves.

Other than that, it's perfect.

Has anyone tried Plexer with more than 2 instances of WoW?

Currently I am trying to run 4 instances with not much luck. Basically from what I have seen, windows 1 and 2 on the list ALWAYS get the keys passed to them. And 3 and 4 only work if they're the currently active window.

I have 2 Folders. First one for the master, and second one with 3 duplicates of WoW for the slaves.

I don't think it's the method of using the "Enable Assistance Devices" or whatever because CloneKeys passes to all 4 clients just fine. And I don't think it's my computer. It's plenty fine running 4 instances.

Any one else experiencing this?

People have done it with five instances. Are you on the trial? If so, the trial is limited to only allowing two instances of WoW.

1) Networking
2) Start up applications, size, and position windows
3) Growl support
4) More customization for keys instead of just the drop-down

Comments on planned features
1) Interested.

I'll soon be sharing 5 instances between an imac and my macbook pro and an all in one solution would be ideal.

2) Very interested.

Window Sizing and positioning and hopefully quick swapping would be my #1 request. I'd pay another $25 for it. Start up is a convenience and would be a nice addition. Any possibility to input password for you?

3) Would be Nice

Just another flourish that would help polish the software.

4) Clarify please

Are you talking about the ability to configure Plexer so that when I press '1' on my main client, it passes 'CTRL+1' on my secondary client and 'CTRL+SHIFT+1' on my 3rd client......

This is a feature I haven't used in multiboxing before because it hasn't been easily available to me. I think it would open up some options to mac boxers that weren't previously available.

New Feature Requests

A: Confirmation dialog when deleting a boxing profile. Possibly a check box in the dialog to allow people to bypass having to confirm.
B: Indicator in the Menu Bar icon whether or not plexer is active or not. Currently icon doesn't change when you activate/deactivate



Thanks again for creating this for the community. I'll be sure to plug it often in my mboxing blog.

For #4 I meant that you could add other keys besides F1-F19 to quit Plexer, for example. I don't really think that the press '1' and change that keystroke to 'CTRL+1' is allowed - yes, I know other programs do it, but to me that is not "one key press equally one key press".

The icon in the menu bar changes from black to blue; I think it's too subtle though.

[lacitpo]

I may just have not been able to find it, but is there an easy to view changelog either within plexer or on the plexer web site?

Since I never used it, I won't miss #4 it not being added. I tend to stay away from interpreting UELA stuff so if that's your interpretation, fine by me.
