Introducing Plexer for Mac

[Gadzooks]

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.

Is there a difference between the trial and paid versions? I certainly will buy this regardless. Clonekeys, while it did serve me ok, has too many problems with missed keystrokes. I am looking forward to this very much

The trial version expires after 15 days, the full version doesn't. That's about it.

Makes sense. Though from reading that reply in the thread I figured it wasn't the reason.

Don't know if I will purchase it. To be honest, the translucent black UI is a big turn off for me. And the always on top also. Is there any plans on making a standard UI for it, instead of the current one? Might have to play around with it just Dual Boxing to see how I like.

Thanks for Bringing some love to the Mac side of Boxing though. Needs it. Like one of the previous posters mentioned, would love to see a Mac maximizer.

Keep up the work!!

To each his own. The black UI is somewhat standard, but I get what you're saying.

You can close the window and Plexer will still be in the background for your needs, but I can look into making the 'always on top' an option instead of forcing it.

I do have some plans on redoing some of the UI in a future version, though I don't really know the timeline when that will be done (definitely won't be in the short term).

Are there other reasons why you don't think you'll purchase it? I guess I should up the limit to three instead of two clients. I do know that I need to work on the website for it and get some getting started guides up there.

Thanks for the input,
David

Features: WTB maximizer, click broadcasting! Kthxbye <3

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.

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.
