APh 2.1 - not respecting right click on pen when in Windows Ink mode

[cgidesign]

APh 2.1

Win 10 22H2

Pen display Huion Kamvas (I tried two models: Kamvas Pro 20, Kamvas 24 4K)

When the pen input method is set to Windows Ink in APh, then the right click setting of the pen is not working.

When set to either low or high precision then right click is working.

I have cross checked with Windows desktop and Krita: in both the right click is working with Windows Ink.

Hi cgidesign,

Could you show your settings for both your Kamvas and windows ink?

This isn't a tablet I have access to unfortunately.

Sure:

 

 

And a hint from Krita (in Krita the right click works as expected).

I've tested with a Huion Inspitoy Q11K, Right click works fine on this particular tablet.

My driver options do not have the "use mouse events etc...." option, have you tried disabling this?

It is not a driver setting, it is in the painting software called Krita. It seems they identified, there needs to be some cool API trick to get right click working in Windows Ink mode.

The Inspitoy is a graphics tablet not a pen display - maybe there is a difference in the driver architecture.

I tried a bunch of other software (ClipStudio Paint, Krita, Rebelle, Davinci Resolve, XNView, ...) - right click is working everywhere except Affinity.

Maybe something to be looked into in the future - in end it is not a big issue. Affinity right click works in wintab mode which is good enough in most cases. Windows Ink is just better for me at resolving pen tilt and very light brush strokes. But that is subtle and I need it only for detailed painting, which I continue to do in dedicated software anyway.

Hello everyone.
I can confirm the problem as cgidesign described it.
This problem is not new, it was also reported in version 1 as far as I can remember.

I use a Huion Inspiroy 1060P.
In all other programs, such as Krita, Photoshop, etc., the pen works perfectly.
There is another problem with the high precision.
Draw a line with the brush, undo this line with CTRL,
one point remains visible. (where the brush was applied)

 

Cheers
