There was a problem hiding this comment.
I'll test this when I can.
Do you remember what the downsides of moving these were & why we pivoted to udev only?

I believe we always used pure udev + chmod hiding with InputPlumber and only moved the device nodes back with HandyGCCS. If I remember correctly, there was some pain points with the nodes not being restored when HandyGCCS would stop. |

This change updates the device hiding logic to move the devnodes into
/dev/inputplumber/sourceswhen a device is hidden. It also includes a better fallback mechanism for detecting thechmodandmvbinaries for the udev rules.This change should be tested against many devices to ensure this logic doesn't cause any regressions.
Fixes #502
