Hello, I have questions about Touchpad Driver in E7440. (Windows 8). Generally, i talk about DellTouchpad.exe, not DellTPad.exe.
(First of all, thank you for driver update- "- Fixed the issue that 3-finger flick stop working suddenly." is very important)
But in this update, there no longer works (i think it could be toggled in settings-gestures- One finger gestures) "Swipe from top" gesture to open options bar in metro apps. Why was it removeed? Will it be brought back?
Second, and more important:
Compared to the E6430 touchpad driver (in Windows 7), there are (for me ) missing capabilities:
There is missing entire tab like here (title could be in English Zoom & scrolling)
frome here)
>. so I am missing
1. Circular Scrolling
2. Zooming by left edge of touchpad (which is more comforatble than pinch zoom for me )
I also note, that the scroll settings (one-finger) in right and bottom edge are avaiable in DellTPad.exe, not in DellTouchpad.exe
Is it caused by that this is version for WIndows 8? These capabilities are inhibited in Windows 8? Is the only solution to downgrade to Windows 7?
I also have another tips for improvement:
-enable corner coasting in scrolling. (If you scroll, doesnt matter by two finger or one finger gesture - and you reach end of the active area and stay here, the scrolling continues). In linux synaptics driver (and working on vostro 1310 also) it is possible since 2010 at least.
-Poinstick middle button - combined function. For the middle button i like the scrolling function (*holding* middle button and scrolling with pointstick). But i would also prefer use it like regular middle button (*click*). But these two options are exclusive. It could be solved by taking advatage of the fact, that for scrolling you need to hold the button, but for middle button click you need to click it - so it could be distinguished (omitting the middle button hold capability.)
