Show Live View has stopped working after one test to see what it would do. I could see my finger movements in the window. I exited Live View and made a few screen shots of default BTT settings. Then, shutdown the MacBook and later restarted.
Now Show Live View is no longer showing my finger movements. I quite BTT, deleted all Library/Application Support and Library/Preference directories and files for BTT. Reinstalled and still not joy.
Are there configuration or other changes I need to make to restore functionality.
The mouse appears to be otherwise working normally, swipes, doublets, etc. are working. This morning I removed the mouse, rebooted, and reconnected. Still no joy. I also tried the MacBook trackpad and Show Live View does not display my finger movement, if it should. The trackpad appears to function normally.
The left 2/3's of the Live View window is gray with the exception of the information bars at the top and bottom. Block Real Gesture Triggering is off, Area is set to none. Show Unfiltered is off. The Gesture Log on the right is empty.
I did recall I started to test Configuration > Magic Mouse > Ignore Areas, moving the bottom right slider a bit to the left from the default 0.93 value. That's when I stopped to take some starting point screenshots. I had moved it back to the right as close as I could to 0.93. Show Live View was still working then. That's when I deleted BTT to reset the app back to defaults and subsequently lost Show Live View. It's disappointing, setting the edge sensitivity was the primary reason I bought the tool.
Is there an app cleaner tool that may help to completely remove BTT and further test with another reinstall?
Are there other suggestions that may help restore Show Live View functionality?
Update: Maybe Fixed.
This morning I deleted BTT again, this time restoring from a Time Machine Backup from several days ago. Still, Show Live View was non-functional. I continued fix searching for about an hour but still no joy.
Just now I went back into BTT > Configuration > Magic Mouse > Settings > Ignore Areas. One finger and two finger taps were already checked. I checked three finger taps, nothing. I then checked Everything. A macOS notification popped up saying "Login item Added" informing me BTT will open automatically when I logon. The Show Live View window was immediately tracking my finger movements. I unchecked Everything and Three finger taps and it continued to work, but I've not been brave enough to restart BTT.
Could the Show Live View code require that BTT must have a Login entry in macOS Settings > Login items & Extensions?
I'll make another update later today or tomorrow after a reboot.
Show Live View is acting strangely. I left the MacBook on last night. It was no longer working when I logged on. After shutdown and restart of the MacBook it is still nonfunctional.
Checking Login Items & Extensions > By App I now have three apparently identical entries for BetterTouchTool. All three are BetterTouchTool File Provider Extensions. The circle-i icon to their information page are all identical.
Also, the first two File Provider entries appear to be linked. Toggling one or he other on or off also toggles the other. The third entry operates independently.
Turning all three off allowed Show Live View to work again.
File providers are in no way related to live view.
Unfortunately I have never encountered non-working live view over all the years. It is a very thin layer above the system frameworks. My guess would be that something is wrong with the system that prevents it from sending the data to BTT.
I'd try to quit BTT then reset all BTT permissions using this terminal command:
sudo tccutil reset All com.hegenberg.BetterTouchTool
