AutoKey 0.61.0 released

[Chris Dekter]

A new version has just been uploaded to the PPA. The highlights:

* Mouse class - your scripts can now send mouse events (relative or
absolute).
* The "Record Keyboard" function is now a record macro function. It no
longer just inserts the key codes into your script. It will produce an
instantly runnable script that duplicates the actions you recorded.
* Errors occurring during the execution of a script are now captured
and there is a dialog where you can view them, to help you debug your
scripts.
* Few other minor tweaks (should work on Gentoo now).

Hi Chris,

thanks for uploading the new version, but it does not work for me.
When I am starting autokey I get this error-msg. It worked yesterday
very well :D

Does anybody has an idea what is going on here?

Bye

Looks like this is caused by a bug in the pyatspi package in Karmic.
The autokey package doesn't install fully as a result. I fixed it by
running this:

sudo apt-get -f install autokey

or if you are using the gtk version:

sudo apt-get if install autokey-gtk

Nothing happened in my case.

-----schnipp-----
apt-get -f install autokey

autokey ist schon die neueste Version.
0 aktualisiert, 0 neu installiert, 0 zu entfernen und 0 nicht aktualisiert.

But I installed the package you were talking about by hand.

aptitude install python-pyatspi

It installed a bunch of things, but autokey won't work either and brought me
the same error-message, than in my last e-mail.

Thanks for helping ...
Marcel

Mhm, it is to weird!

After a while having autokey started it stops working. No
errormessages, no nothing, just don't replacing my shortcuts...

Quitting it and trying to restart it gives me the upper posted error-message!
Reinstalling in with:

aptitude reinstall autokey

makes it starting, but not working again. That is weird isn't it?

Maybe the daemon is dying. Can you post the contents of the log at
/var/log/autokey-daemon.log?

Well done, you found the first bug in v0.61 :P I'll put a patch out
tomorrow. In the mean time, you can avoid it by not pressing the
middle button on your mouse...

New Version works fine, even if I press the middle button ;)

Thanks a lot
