Title: Bug in WinCab?
Post by: JustMichael on October 27, 2006, 07:36:46 pm

I am running XP.  I tried changing my keyboard to "United States-Dvorak" in the "Regional and Language Options" of the "Control Panel".  Every other program acts just fine (sees the proper keys) but WinCab still sees it as a "QWERTY" keyboard.  Any ideas why?

Try this: UnZip the attached file into your jukebox directory and add the following to jukebox.ini:

Code: [Select]

[system]
keyboard = dvorak

Does that help?

WinZip says it is not a valid archive.  So does WinRAR.

Odd.  My WinZip opens it.  That one was created with XP's built-in ZIP capabilities.

This one was done with WinZip.  Tell me if it works...

Strange...downloads corrupt in Firefox (cuts off early each time) but downloads ok with IE.

Tried adding

[system]
keyboard = dvorak

to the jukebox.ini, then to the skin's ini and no luck with either.

Ah.  I should have expected that.  I'm reading the keyboard at too low a level; this is what allows me to see Shift and Alt as keys and not modifiers. Hmm.  I'll have to work on it.
