We had some kind of detection before (I personally wrote the code) but I guess it got broken at some point... I will check. |
Created attachment 163510 [details] Tablet settings that do support Surface Pen pressure sensitivity SUMMARY This is a minor thing, but can be major to a new user. The default Tablet Settings (WinTab) mean that Surface Pens do not support pressure sensitivity. The user has to know to switch to Windows 8+ Pointer Input (Windows Ink). Someone already familiar with Krita would know to Google for the solution, but someone just trying Krita could easily think pressure sensitivity is missing on their device. Would it be possible to improve the autodetection of that setting so it works out of the box? STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Fresh Krita install on a fresh Surface device (tested on Surface Pro 9 and Surface Laptop Studio 2 with Slim Pen 2) 2. New image, draw something with a brush that should support pressure sensitivity OBSERVED RESULT Pen only supports on/off, no pressure sensitivity. EXPECTED RESULT Pressure sensitivity should work. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: Windows 11. Tried on several new Surface devices at Best Buy, and also on personal device. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Attached screenshot of Tablet Input API setting that does support pressure sensitivity on Surface Pen.
