Peering into the settings for the magic mouse i have found out what looks like support for 3 finger tap gestures for Dashboard and/or Expose control , namely :
“Dashboard” – three fingers tap
“Exposé All Windows” - three fingers tap to expose all window
“Exposé Application Windows” - three fingers tap to expose app window
“Exposé Desktop” - three fingers tap to expose desktop
These look like the options you would see in a dropdown list from which to select one action associated with a 3finger tap.
Currently you do not have a mouse system preferences option for 3finger , only “One Finger” and “Two Finger” sections are available for now.
Another thing to note is that a 1 finger swipe action is also referenced , and that “Mighty Mouse” still remains as as string reference , if you search for that in system prefs the mouse icon will be highlighted , this could show that apple was really in a hurry on this , sloppy or understaffed , either way here is the system preferences movie for the magic mouse:
Who knows if 3 finger tap functionality was planned but not finished or removed , but it was not entirely built and disabled either , because it can not be enabled as it is.
EDIT : I released a free app to enable adding middle click , expose , dashboard , desktop , spaces , both button holding , etc , the works in my app MagicPrefs
unable to sign jar: java.util.zip.ZipException: invalid entry compressed size
99% of the time what that means is your jar is already signed
However jarsigner has no way to remove signatures from a jar , but you can do that manually since a jar file is a zip archive all you have to do is extract it , delete the META-INF directory and repack it.
Personally i use muCommander , you have to do this : shift+F6 (rename to .zip) > enter > del META-INF > enter > shift+F6 (rename back)
It treats archives as standard directories so it automatically handles the unpacking and repacking of the archive transparently
If you are a terminal lover you can run this for the same results:
zip -d YourJar.ext “META-INF*”
deleting: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
deleting: META-INF/CERT.SF
deleting: META-INF/CERT.RSA
Which is going to result in this :
deleting: META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
deleting: META-INF/CERT.SF
deleting: META-INF/CERT.RSA
The reason why i have to go into all this is because unlike Eclipse , Netbeans has no way of building a unsigned android apk (unless you mess about with -sign in nbproject/build-impl.xml) but this should apply and work with any kind of java package signing scenario (except the Maven jarsigner which blissfully has a unsign feature)
Personally i think a gesture enabled mouse is a great move , and am looking forward to seeing it implemented in more mice , besides the mighty mouse i have been using a Logitech Air mouse which has a touch scroll with momentum which i miss dearly when using the mighty mouse , i am sure the same will be true about gestures.
But for now i want to touch on some issues with the magic mouse , when it was announced i was hoping a old issue with te apple mouses might have been addressed , that is the inability to hold down both buttons , the mouse registers a left click when a user clicks with both the right and the left fingers pressing.
While the swipe functionality alleviates this a bit there are still a number of 3d applications , games , and browsers that need the old “poorman’s swipe” a left swipe being similar to pressing and holding the right button then pressing the left and vice-versa , but this way of clicking can not be entirely replaced by the swipe feature as you can not swipe and drag for example.
What i do hope is that software developers will start to be aware of gesture enabled mice and of mice lacking 2button hold functionality , or even better mice manufacturers start making mice that implement both features , in any event here is a osx application i wrote for the purpose of testing mouse functionality.
