Must triple-click to add songs - adjust mouse timing setting

[Mitd9922]

When adding songs from singers list, I have to triple click to get the song in rotation. If I double click and then move the mouse it draws dotted line boxes or highlights the area where I'm pointing. Very annoying.

For a while now, I've had to triple click every time on the first song in a Singers list, but after the first one, a double click adds them to the playlist!

Just wondering if this has anything to do with the settings in your "Mouse Properties"
If you find this from your control panel, from the Buttons tab is a double click speed adjuster, check your settings there, when you have checked that go to the "Pointers Option" Tab and check if you have visibility option box checked for "Display Trails", if so untick that. You can just look over the rest of the settings to see if there is anything else that might improve the mouse or touch pad operation.

Roy,

I use mouse trails and I disabled them and saw no change at all!

I like the mouse trails because it help me locate the pointer at times...

I split these posts out to this new thread as they are what we consider to be "pilot error", not a software bug.

Please do as Roy suggests. I highly suspect the "triple-clicking" is due to the timing setting for double clicking.

This is not a problem reported generally by others (just 3 here), and we don't think the problem is with Hoster.

If you check and adjust your mouse double-click timing setting and this fixes the problem, please post back here so we know it is solved.

Otherwise, if you still feel it is Hoster 5.05 software, please be persistent and give us as much facts as you can to help us duplicate your reported problem.

Admin,

I don't agree that only three of us have had this problem. I have lived with it since the last upgrade I did, and only after I saw someone else was experiencing this problem, did I decide to post a response.

And, since it works fine with a double-click after you triple-click on the first song, I don't think it's a mouse speed problem.

I just accepted it and kept on trucking...

This has happened to me also, but I hadn't upgraded in a year, so thought it was only that version. In 5.05, I don't notice a triple click, only that I sometimes have to double click 2 & 3 times before a song is added. I thought it had to do with my mouse or my clicking properly, so I never reported it.

Skybird74,

After you get the first song added, can you then use a double-click to add more songs from the same Singers file?

I can, but in each time I move to a new Singers file, the same thing happens!

When I have to double-click multiple times it's usually from the Search Window, and occasionally from the Singers Window. I rarely click another song from the same Singer, because they usually don't know what they want to sing next.

We hear you.

Skybird74 reporting that 5.05 didn't require double/tripple clicking raises a question in our minds.

Today we are researching the double-click code, which I might add is a simple function in Windows we enable or disable for some controls. We have never heard of this type of problem before.

Admin,

I answered this in Beta tester forum, but will enter this for the hoster help section... when opening the singer data base / song list the first time in some versions of Hoster 5.05 and a couple of the early betas that we have tested in version 5.06 (unreleased as of yet!)... the first time you click/double click it seems to have to refresh the database, before you can double click and add the song normally... skip to another singer, and you must click at least once to refresh initially, then you can add songs normally from that singers database by double clicking, to add songs to the playlist... this has to be repeated for each new singer / database!

Pleased to inform everybody (Hoster Users) that the latest version that we are testing, v5.06 beta9, doesn't have this problem!

Thanks for your research and post Rick!
