Bug#360311: Krita lacks all tablet support.
Subject: krita: Krita lacks all tablet support.
Package: krita
Version: 1:1.4.99-1
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I think that this may be a larger issue with Debian QT packages as per
this mailing list for Kubuntu illistrates:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-kimageshop&m=111968589529168&w=2
But I don't know anything about how QT works or anything like that and
the only application that I have this problem in is Krita.
Krita is a drawing/painting program and without having the ability to
draw or paint with a wacom-style tablet is a big problem.
Just so you know I am using a wacom tablet with the correct setup in my
X.org configuration file. I use it in Gimp all the time. Pressure
sensitivity and everything works just fine.
In fact the specific reason the original author wrote this program is
for the tablet support, from what I understand, and that it has very
good support, which I wanted to try out.
Maybe it does have tablet support though and I am just confused. What
happens is that I use a mouse to open it up and select some options and
whatnot. I fill the background with white and then switch to my tablet
pen. I try to select the 'draw' icon, which gets selected but when I try
to draw it is unusable. Sometimes all I get is a dot, other times I get
these realy long lines. Othertimes the mouse pointer is showing a
drawing thing, but when I tap it goes back to the paint bucket (which is
what I have selected under the mouse) and fills the image with a single
color.
What should happen is that you can have different tools selected for
each item. When you tap the pen you have one tool.. You can then flip it
over and maybe select the 'erase' tool with the 'erasor' end of the pen.
Then you can select a tool with the mouse. (note that this is a logitech
mouse that I am using and not the wacom mouse suplied with the table).
Then as you draw you can switch to the mouse and pen and flip the pen
around to quickly change tools. This makes doing artwork and such much
more efficient then would otherwise be possible. As well as other
features such as pressure sensitivity and other related items are
indepsensable for getting the right look.
Please fix this problem or at least point out were I am 'just not
getting it'.
Thank you for your time.
