Bug Report - Hog 4 PC: Can't move/resize directories except GROUP or POSITION

This problem only seems to be occurring in Hog 4 PC. It does not occur on our Full Boars. Have not heard of it on Road Hog 4 and we have not yet had a chance to test it on Hedge Hog 4.

Using Hog PC v. 2.1.2 on Windows XP, Windows 7 Pro 32-bit and Windows 8.1 and all of them exhibit the same issue.

Whenever your select a directory window on the left screen/window in normal Hog PC mode and then try to move or resize that directory Hog 4 PC selects the GROUP directory on the right screen/window and moves or resizes the GROUP directory instead of your selection. If you close the GROUP directory and try again, it selects the POSITION directory and moves or resizes POSITION instead of your selection. The only work-around is to close both the GROUP and POSITION directories and work with the directories on the left window/screen (or external monitor if connected) and then your selections are maintained when you select an option from the toolbar on the top of the right screen/window.

Again this is in normal (full) Hog 4 PC mode. It seems that whenever you select an option from the top toolbar in the right screen/window Hog 4 PC automatically selects the first directory open on the right screen/window and applies the scroll/move/resize/focus command to that directory instead of the one you have selected on the left window/screen or external monitor.

Any help you can provide with this issue would be greatly appreciated. It's been a real nuisance for our Nano users particularly.

  • This exact thing is happening to us at my shop as well. We have a mac mini we are running as back-up console in a network setting. It has all of the mac maverick updates and a new copy of windows 8.1 pro running from bootcamp. It is set to auto-run windows from power on. As i was setting the windows it wouldn't let me move them around like you said. I thought it was the new touch screen we got, used a mouse same thing, but then remembered how many problems hog has and blamed hog... Since it is just a back up console their weren't to many views to set up and i managed to yell at it loud enough to get the few views I did need for if or shall I say WHEN the hog 4 crashes it will keep the vales long enough for the hog to pull it's self back together.
    I've tried installing other 2.0 versions and same thing.
    I am getting the same issues no matter if i start a new show, load a show created on a full boar via USB , or load a show from a networked full boar. It still won't let me move he groups and other directory windows freely

    I am not having any of these issues from my asus laptop in place of the mac mini in the set up.
