Libvirt/Qemu KVM
- If your mouse pointer is not in sync with where you tap, you may need to add an
"EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet" to your virtual machine (when it's powered off) and
then power it on. To add the Tablet:
- If configuring through virt-manager, Go to the View->Details section, and select Add Hardware->Input->EvTouch USB Graphics Tablet.
- If running your virtual machine on the command-line, you need an option similar to: "-device usb-tablet,id=input0"

4 stars will become 5 stars when middle mouse events passthrough to proxmox via spice; also implement clipboard support; finally the aSpice menu option on mac toolbar should show a Quit option under aSpice as it is now blank
Developer Response
Hi, thanks for reaching out!Could you please email us (click the Help menu in the app) to send us a screenshot of the Mac Toolbar that is blank?Clipboard integration *should* work, just retested it with a direct SPICE connection where I know the server supports it. Make sure your Proxmox VM is set up to allow clipboard integration.The mouse, honestly, I didn't even think about middle mouse button because I didn't even think the Mac is capable of detecting middle mouse buttons - the programming interface certainly didn't suggest this as even a remote option. I'll look again and see if it's possible.Please do reach out about the menu option that's blank.

interface is clunky and takes experiementation to figure out how to configure. Leaving this a three as I figure out how to connect to a server. I can get to a login screen but keyboard just sounds beep when trying to type (havent figured a way to activate keyboard in window edit: i am more than willing to help test a version for MacOS to that fixes the keyboard problem. The video and mouse works perfectly, even clipboard.
Developer Response
I would really appreciate a more civil approach to support requests. I'm making an effort to respond to your questions and all i get back is silence.EDIT: How can we make your experience 5-stars?
Works!

This worked well for me. I was looking for a way to view a Proxmox Virtual Machine window *including sound* on my Mac. The time saved in setting up a more complex solution justified the cost for me.It would be great to add support for window resizing, like moving from the console to an X11 window.
Works, Easy to use

Came over to Mac from PC. Always used Spice agent for Windows to access Proxmox servers. This was an easy install and just use application. Overall performance is a bit less than Windows, but works well.
