Describe the bug
DPI Sliding works normally on M575 back in commit 6d3d3e20. In more recent versions, it seems to be influenced by the absent key in /home/$USER/.config/solaar/config.json.
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Set the
absentkey in config to an empty list. git checkout 6d3d3e2086305f78994efd1003610e4b420fa9e8-
python3 setup.py build; ./bin/solaarWith the following settings, pressing the forward button switches between two DPI options.
Changing the DPI by slide gesture works too. Switching from bluetooth and back, DPI Sliding still works fine. -
git checkout f938d3430eba086b040d8aa9bb8df7ffde67e408(or cb14c2ee) - Switch to bluetooth and back, restart Solaar (not necessary if bluetooth was used in step 3)
Now, the DPI Sliding option is not available.
Additional context
Looking at the diff, I noticed, that this could be relevant
print(absent) prints this:
['hi-res-scroll', 'lowres-smooth-scroll', 'hires-smooth-invert', 'hires-smooth-resolution', 'smart-shift', 'thumb-scroll-mode', 'thumb-scroll-invert', 'report_rate', 'pointer_speed', 'dpi-sliding', 'speed-change', 'mouse-gestures', 'backlight', 'fn-swap', 'disable-keyboard-keys', 'divert-crown', 'crown-smooth', 'divert-gkeys', 'multiplatform', 'change-host', 'gesture2-gestures', 'gesture2-params', 'divert-keys']I have managed to temporarily fix the problem by manually clearing the absent and _dpi_sliding key in /home/$USER/.config/solaar/config.json. Switching to bluetooth, back to unifying and restarting Solaar reverts the absent to the values pasted above, with 'dpi-sliding' included.
