TouchControl -
Touchscreen enhancements for MediaPortal
since a longer period i´m working on enhancements for my TouchScreen using it with MediaPortal.
At the (a little longer...) moment i´m working on a plugin for special TouchScreen functions on MediaPortal.
I call it "TouchControl" and this plugin provides "Tap and Hold" and Touchscreen gestures for MediaPortal.
The TouchControl plugin is a process plugin for MediaPortal 1.0 and higher and it works with every skin.
TouchControl is made for using it with bigger TouchScreens like 12" and more.
