The MyGesture Editor will not display any gestures to edit until detecting which FingerWorks product you have connected. Your product should appear in the 'device selector' toolbar shortly after it is connected. If you have plugged in more than one FingerWorks product, use the device selector to choose between them.
Offline Editing
If your FingerWorks product is not available (plugged in) but you still want to do some editing, click Device->Offline Editing->Your 'ProductName'. The configuration for your product will then be loaded into the gesture tree just as if you'ld chosen it live in the 'device selector.' If you've never run the utilities with your FingerWorks product on this computer before, your product may not be listed, and your offline editing choices are limited to the iGesture Pad or TouchStream MacNTouch (Demo) product configurations. Of course, you cannot transfer edits to your product when editing offline, but you can save to XML or create configuration binaries for use in the Device Firmware Upgrade utility at a later time.
Whenever a new device is selected, the editor reloads the default gesture libraries for that device, then reloads any XML customization files that you have already opened. The XML customization files hold the differences between your personal gesture configuration and the factory-default configuration.
If you're just getting started with the editor, you won't have any customization files to open yet. Just start editing from the default configuration. Once saved, the XML customization files will hold the differences between your personal gesture configuration and the factory-default configuration. If you've saved to a customization file and exited, that file will be re-opened automatically next time you restart the editor.
If you want to abandon all edits and start over with the factory-default libraries, click the (leftmost) 'Home' toolbar icon or the File->Restore Factory Defaults menu item. This will re-initialize the Gesture Editor from the FingerWorks 'Factory-Default' Library. 'Transferring' after restoring factory defaults *should be* equivalent to running the Device Firmware Upgrade Utility.
