Hi,

I would like to hear from people using (Wacom) graphics tablets with
DT. I just got a tablet, and drawing masks works fine, as long as I
don't want to change the brush. The drawing itself feels more
controlled, but the workflow is a bit awkward. So tell me how you
do it, please...

Some issues I noticed:

- I can change the brush size while drawing using the mouse with the
  mouse wheel. I tried to map the wheel up/down to the buttons on
  the pen, but this seems buggy. Sometimes it works (if the pen is on
  the tablet), sometimes nothing happens, sometimes the brush freezes
  and comes back after I chose the brush symbol again, sometimes it
  doesn't come back and I have to restart darktable to get it working
  again. Also I can't use the mouse wheel for brush size while using
  the tablet.

- I tried to have the brush pressure sensitive, to control opacity.
  This works at first, but only so far. After a number of strokes
  darktable crashes with a message "_brush_buffer_grow: memory size
  exceeded and detected too late :(". I reported this as issue #10349.

- I'm still wondering what to map to the funktion keys.

Cheers
  Michael
