Unable to Click Macro with Tablet Pen


Recommended Posts

For some reason Affinity Photo (Desktop) is not recognising/registering clicks when clicking on Macros with my Wacom tablet pen. Seems to work fine with my mouse (although I often need to click more than once for it to execute the macro with my mouse). It just doesn't seem to let me do it if I tap with my pen. 

I've noticed the same behaviour when trying to hide panels (double clicking on the panel title). I can do this very easily with my mouse, but it doesn't work if I try to click with my pen.

I've noticed that macros require a double click to execute, similarly panels require a double click to hide.

Could it be that Affinity is not recognising double taps with a tablet pen as double clicks?
Is this a bug, or is there a setting I can change to make it work?

Edit: I've tried double clicking in Finder and other applications with the tablet pen and it works perfectly as intended, just not in Affinity.

Hi @ChristiduToit,

Thanks for your report!

I can confirm this is a known issue when trying to run Macros using a Wacom tablet, and when trying to 'double click' with a Wacom to collapse or expand panels - both of which are logged with our developers so I'll be sure to 'bump' these reports with the team now :)

I believe the issue is that the Affinity app currently incorrectly recognises this as a click & drag action, rather than a double click, hence it works as expected outside of the app.

I hope this clears things up!

Please Note: I am now out of the office until Tuesday 2nd April on annual leave.

If you require urgent assistance, please create a new thread and a member of our team will be sure to assist asap.

Many thanks :)

Thanks for the speedy reply!

That makes total sense. Hopefully the bug will be ironed out soon. 🤞
