When you try draw with the surface pro pen the cursor have a huge offset, see video https://vine.co/v/O7PeIjM3Bpt Cheers! Reproducible: Always Testing in a Surface Pro 3 with windows 8.1
More info: the pen it´s working with the WinTab_Setup_x64_1.0.0.17 driver
putting this in tablet support.
Hm... That' strange, since surfaceproartist (and some others) reported that Krita works perfectly with an Surface Pro 3. I guess I need test hardware...
I can confirm this , as per my other post: Version 2.9 Pre-Alpha (git 63888ac) Pen offset Krita tracked correctly with Krita_x64_2.8.3.0. But is broke with 2.9 Pre-Alpha (git 63888ac). All my other art/graphics program are working with N-trig WinTab X64 v1.0.17
I'm trying to get a dev unit out of Microsoft. I tried reproducing the bug with my wacom and win7 by setting desktop scaling to 150%, but that didn't trigger the bug, so it's something surface/ntrig/win8 specific...
Okay... It _is_ Ntrig's fault. Following http://www.wacomeng.com/windows/docs/Wintab_v140.htm, we have: lcSysExtX, lcSysExtY: Together specify the extent of the screen mapping area for system cursor tracking, in screen coordinates. On this 3200x1800 screen, n-trig's wintab driver returns: 1280x720. This needs a workaround, obviously, but it's just as obviously wrong -- wacom, yiynova, huion and uc-logic provide the correct values. I've contacted n-trig about this.
Git commit 138a21578c2de3fd02125fe1702a7949d6040b43 by Boudewijn Rempt. Committed on 04/12/2014 at 13:50. Pushed by rempt into branch 'master'. NTrig's wintab drivers work differently than other wintab drivers when desktop scaling is enabled, so make the process aware of desktop scaling before initializing the driver. This shouldn't make any difference with other drivers M +6 -1 krita/main.cc http://commits.kde.org/calligra/138a21578c2de3fd02125fe1702a7949d6040b43
Here's a special windows build to test on the surface pro 3: http://files.kde.org/krita/windows/krita_x64.2.8.79.24.zip On my device, the offset is gone, but I have a kind of weird problem when pressure exceeds some level the line stops. Please help testing this build!
Initial testing: So far tracking is working ( tested at 11x17 inches @ 600 dpi), and I am not having any "weird" pressure problems. I test for 15 minutes with large brushes ranging in lines starting hair thickness to full 500 wide. Though I did have an issue: I was not even using a keyboard and I lost my left sife menu ( brush, color, layers, etc). I can't seem to find the menu combo to bring it back. Is there a reset to restore Krita back to the original UI?
Okay, that's good news. As for bringing back the dockers: check whether you have accidentally pressed tab so you got into canvas-only mode. If that's not it, and you still have the top toolbar, press the right-most button and select "Default workspace".
I did my first real sketch with the Surface pro 3 build and tracking is working with numerous resolutions, brushes, and line thickness. This is a great starting point to move on and incorporate into the actual build.
I'm so happy to have this ready in time for 2.9 :-) The fix will also be in the next dev build, provisionally expected tomorrow.
