Quickly disable all Elephant functionality?

Hello,

Is there a way to quickly disable all elephant functionality so I can use the built-in windows zooming and then quickly re-enable elephant?

Also, Elephant doesn't seem to show up in the taskbar and I'm finding it a bit buggy in Windows 10. Sometimes I have to restart it to get it to act normal and I have to go to the task manager and kill it there, then re-launch it. Can it be made to show in the taskbar with a "suspend" or "pause" and/or "relaunch" feature? Thanks...

EDIT - one of the bugs happens when I change sensitivity, it always slows down and when I try and up the sensitivity it only stays slow. I have to restart Elephant and once I do that the sensitivity is back to normal. As soon as I try and change it, it gets slow again. So it basically works as long as I don't change sensitivity.

EDIT 2 - the other bug happens when I use the middle mouse button press to temporarily enter vertical mode scrolling. That often messes the whole functionality up and I have to reboot Elephant. I'm using Bitwig 4.4.1

Hello,

Thank you for reporting the issue. Unfortunately, I have not been able to reproduce the problem you described, and we have not received similar reports from other users. To address a bug, we need to be able to replicate it consistently.

I'm using Windows 10 for testing, just as you mentioned in your setup. Please ensure that your system and application are fully updated, and consider if any specific configurations or external factors might be influencing your experience.

Could you provide any additional details or steps that might help us replicate the issue? Any screenshots or logs you can share would also be helpful.

As soon as I have any updates or require further information, I will get back to you.

Thank you for your cooperation.

I am also interested in quickly disabling the Elephant Functionality in some way. Is there a way via the Menu?

I have an idea maybe works and finally we have a quick disable/enable feature.
Where the disable is ultra quick and reenable take some seconds.
I work on this in the next days

@savethehuman5 This would be absolutly great, because I am using one Software (Staffpad), where the Surface Dial is mapped very well and this Mapping is destroyed, when I use your really great Elephant Plugin. So it would be great to have this enable/disable Feature.
