Re: [Gimp-user] Huion tablets compatibility check request

[Richard <strata_ranger hotmail com>]

About the only people who can truly help you are those running GIMP (similar version) on Windows (preferably 
10) with a same/similar brand tablet as yours ... and there probably aren't many on this list who do.  That 
leaves the rest of us just guessing at answers...


For starters, GIMP is indeed configured to have the stylus pen assigned to Airbrush and the stylus eraser 
assigned to Eraser by default, both of which are separate from the tool associated with the core mouse 
pointer (Paintbrush, I think).  This IS configurable, however ... under Edit > Preferences > Input Devices, 
you can allow GIMP to save the device->tool mappings upon exit or you can manually save them so it will start 
with your preferred tools per device.

Glad I didn’t update beyond 2.8.18.

You didn’t mention what OS you use. This would be useful for diagnostics, and so it could be determined 
whether this was a Windows, Mac, or Linux problem.

I’m on a Mac, OS 10.12.6, running Huion driver V11.1.8. Works fine with GIMP 2.8.18. It would be a disaster 
if I upgraded and suddenly couldn’t use the tablet.

In my configuration, GIMP always wants to see the pen set as airbrush at startup. I usually have to select 
another tool three times before it takes. Thereafter it’s fine.
