What is Pop-Mouse?
Pop-Mouse is a new way of operating and managing your PC. It's based on an exclusive technology that allows you to trigger a variety of commands either by "touching" the screen borders with the pointer or doing slight mouse movements called "glicks". The four screen borders (i.e., left, right, top and bottom) are activated when you hit them gently with the pointer. After a short time-out (which is adjustable), Pop-Mouse executes a command associated with that borde
You can download a 30 days trial copy of Pop-Mouse
version 3.15 (PopMouse315.exe, 1,89MB) from Pointix web
site. Pop-Mouse is shareware and the register costs $ 16,95 USD). A
freeware version - Pop-Mouse Lite - is also available.
Pop-Mouse is a novel utility that enhances the use of a mouse through an exclusive technology that interprets mouse movements and turns them into actions.
Once installed in your computer, Pop-Mouse works on the background, looking at the pointer as it moves around the screen and detects certain mouse actions which include "borders" and "glicks". A border is detected when the mouse pointer hits any screen border and stays still for a short time. A "glick" is detected when the pointer is moved quickly in a circular or back-and-forth fashion.
Once a border or glick is detected, an associated command is executed.
Pop-Mouse can execute several types of commands, for example: open an application, open a document or www page, launch your e-mail client to send e-mail to a specified address, execute a keyboard macro, pop-up a customized menu containing other commands, etc. etc.
Pop-Mouse commands can be triggered directly with a border or glick or they can also be arranged in menus and floatbars (from floating-toolbars) that pop-up when a border or a glick is detected. Menus and floatbars can be linked to each other allowing you to create a "floating shell" customized to your needs.
Pop-Mouse stores all your resources in a virtual space called "workspace". Pop-Mouse resources can be organized in the workspace in user-defined folders which resemble the Windows Explorer file-folders.
In Workspace Manager you can:
· create, delete and rename resources
· cut, copy and paste resources between folders
· create, delete and rename folders
· import resource files
· load/save the workspace data from/to and external file
Left Pane
The left pane of Workspace Manager allows you to create, modify, delete and perform other housekeeping tasks on your resources. You can use the clipboard to manipulate resources and move them between folders.
Right Pane
The right pane of the Workspace Manager is an instance of Resource Editor showing the currently selected resource.
Note: Resource folders do not exist as physical file folders; all Pop-Mouse resources are actually stored in a single file and Workspace Manager arranges them in a folder-like view to ease management.
Import Resources
Allows you to import a set of resources from an external file. You can use this function to import pre-programmed resources provided with Pop-Mouse, for enhancing the use of some popular applications.
Compact Workspace File Now
Pop-Mouse saves all changes to your configuration in an incremental manner, to minimize the time required by file operations. This increases the workspace file fragmentation each time you make any changes to your workspace. Pop-Mouse will automatically ask you if you want to compact the workspace file when the fragmentation is above 50%. You can also do it manually by selecting this menu option.
Load Workspace From An External File
This option allows you to load a previously-saved workspace file. Warning: The current content of the workspace file is discarded and replaced by the new one.
Save Workspace To An External File
This option allows you to save the current workspace to an external file. You can use this function to take your workspace data to another computer or to make a backup copy.
Always On Top
This option allows you to keep the Workspace manager window on top of all other windows, so that you can drag files and shortcuts within the open resource's area. This option is always set by default.
Close
Saves any changes made and closes the Workspace Manager Window.
