Sorry, I guess I got config and enable mixed up.
fatfingers, I feel bad. When I started seeing that error and I looked for a way to silently fail, my natural inclination was to look for command line parameters, which led me to find the /errorgui parameter. Turns out you are right - all I needed to do was uncheck my sticks in the ultramap gui, and my problem is solved. So I apologize for inadvertently leading you down a path that was unnecessary. Maybe the ability to specify parameters is useful for other reasons?
(just hoping something positive can come from it)
Now, it appears that there is a significant delay if the sticks
aren't plugged in, presumably because ultramap is trying to find them. I might have to check in with Andy to see if there's any possibility of getting ultramap to not look so hard.
Otherwise I may ultimately implement a mechanism for detecting which swappable panel is installed, at which time it would be cool if I could programmatically disable the mapper plugin.
