Mouse "Snap To" Functionality

[wycliffe]

I am using a MBP running Parallels 3.0 with a XPs2 VM.

When i look under mouse properties in the Control Panel, the "snap to" buttin is checked but does not work when running my VM - anyone else have this issue?

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

5 months and no answer ?

 

[wycliffe]

Nothing. Must be a very low priority item but I cannot believe no one else has complained about it...

 

[dkaleky]

this is a very normal and helpful function- although MAc doesnt have it either-- I had to buy software to do it

 

[wycliffe]

What is the name of the software you used?

 

[dkaleky]

lazymouse is the proggy works good

 

[wycliffe]

many thanks

Hello dkaleky and wycliffe,

Thank you for your reports. I have delivered them to Parallels developers. I hope it is going to be fixed soon. Will keep you informed.

Best regards,
Xenos

Thanks - would be much appreciated -

Hello,

"Snap to" functionality is going to be set in the next Parallels Desktop version.
Please sorry for making you waiting.

Best regards,
Xenos

 

[wycliffe]

when do yout hink the next version will be released - will it be with the version that is fully compatible with Leopard?

 

[Xenos]

Hello Wycliffe,

The Leopard-compatible build is available since the beginning of December:
http://www.parallels.com/en/download/desktop

The work on the next version is going on.

Best regards,
Xenos

When do you think the next version arrives? Or will it just be a tweak to build 5582?

 

[Xenos]

Hello,

The next build is supposed to be released in January. It will include a number of fixes for the build 5582 (copy-paste issue, first of all).
The next version is not expected to come this month, so the "Snap to" functionality is not going to be added quickly enough. Please sorry.

Best regards,
Xenos

Its March and 7 months without a normal windows function since
Wycliffe first asked

this continues to be a simple request - can my six year old try and fix it for you guys at parallels?

 

[John@Parallels]

I can see problem, when Parallels Tools are installed,
Quick workaround is to uninstall Parallels Tools, meanwhile we are looking in problem.

 

[wycliffe]

why would you uninstall parallel tools - won't this strip the system of other functionality?

the real issue is that your company has been promising a solution to this problem for over two years - suggesting that each new build will have a fix in it - simply put, why hasn't it be done and when will it be done?

 

[John@Parallels]

The fix is not really easy, in this case, and we are working to resolve situation

A new Parallels version and still no "snap to" functionality...why is such a simple request so hard to fulfill...we are pushing 18 months on this...sigh
