Question

When using Electron app, "Authorize Device" only available in 3D mode

sehrgut opened this issue 8 months ago · comments

For some time now, I've thought Via was just broken and so I've been using Vial in Via mode for my Via keyboards, and just using Via for the keytester. Today, I randomly enabled 3D mode, and when I went back to the home tab, the long-missing Authorize button was there! This is completely reproducible, both as regular user and administrator. Once authorized, either render mode works for managing the connected keyboard.

Version: 3.0.0
OS: Windows 10 Home

I'm seeing the same on macOS 14.0, Native Via 3.0.0. Thanks for pointing out that fix, I imagine other are affected too.

Thanks!!! This worked for me as well! See here: the-via/releases#267 (comment)

Does anyone know an active dev/maintainer we could ping on this?

@GitMurf I'm glad that workaround helps you! Looking at the commit history, it seems @olivia is the primary maintainer.
