How to add affinity to my Wacom application setting?

[WallowLeaf]

Hello! I have a question regarding affinity 2. I brought the license during its release. I recently purchased a Wacom intuos pro (M). That I wish to use with affinity. But I want to change a few setting regarding the bottoms of my wacom intous. I have attached a picture of what I can see on my setting.

 Thank you for reading my question. I hope to receive guidance on my situation.
      May you all have an amazing day.

Do you have Photo 2 running at the time of your second screenshot? If not, try starting it before you try to change the Wacom configuration.

If it is running, do you see it if you scroll down further in that "running applications" list?

And if that doesn't help (though it might), you could try installing the EXE/MSI version of the V2 Affinity applications:

In addition to Walt's advice, hit the Browse button.

Thank you for the suggestion! I tried this method (opening all three applications: Photo, Designer, and publisher first before opening the Wacom Tablet Propeties). This has solved my problem.

Probably won't help with the MSIX-based version of the apps, as they're in a Hidden folder.

Thanks for that bit of information about Windows' OS. Who designs these things?

Well, Microsoft   However, as I see it, it's not so much that the fact that they chose to hide the files, but that many other applications written for Windows still do not understand how to interact with applications obtained from the Microsoft Store (which is fairly old technology at this point) or the newer MSIX-based applications which are a follow-on to the Microsoft Store applications.

Far too many programs that provide functions like "Edit in" still require you to browse to a file location and provide them with the full path. With MSIX-based applications, they could instead use a Windows Application Execution Alias (simple program name), but most don't let you do that.

Some, at least (like the Wacom case we were discussing), let you point to a running application rather than to the executable file.

So it's in part Microsoft hiding the files (for security), but in a larger part the other applications that are not evolving to keep up with new Windows technologies.
