The problem: the painful double release of brush bundles… Some graphic tablets offer tilt and some don’t. Right now, advanced bundle brush makers often release two bundle packs: one for tilt, another for a non-tilting device. It’s hard to create, maintain and release. It’s also confusing for users t…

OK, good news I guess, this turned out to be really straightforward to implement. Heh, working on Krita is so unpredictable :stuck_out_tongue: Sometimes I want to fix “a simple” thing and I get stuck for days, or another time it looks like a lot of work at first, but then I breeze through it. Anyway…

I see what you mean. Assuming we can reliably detect if the device is supporting tilt or not, it should probably be doable. I haven’t touched this area of Krita at all so won’t comment further :slight_smile:

[image] YRH: Assuming we can reliably detect if the device is supporting tilt or not, From a quick glance it looks like there’s no way to know if a device supports tilt, just whether tilt is 0 or not. The calligraphy tool (KarbonCalligraphyTool) seems to keep track of this, setting an m_devic…

Barrel rotation is another such feature apparently only supported by some Wacom pens and to make things worse on linux the Wacom library picks it up but Krita does not recognize the signal. So, in when you thought you installed the correct bundle because your tablet has the feature it might not work…

Maybe we could use a hack… ahem, “heuristic” – if tilt is ever reported to be != 0, then the device supports tilt. Not sure how reliable it would be, however.

Or a checkmark for the input devices, like you have the speed setting, you can have a tilt checkmark. It’s up to users to try, if the tester doesn’t detect tilt, switch it off. That is, if there’s no more elegant solution.

I proposed something similar a few years ago: [image] Feature request: Global brush angle offset for tilt direction Feature Requests Hi everybody! I decided to write this as a feature request as I think I have a defined problem and possible solution, but foremost I would…

Here are some breadcrumbs if anyone would like to implement it (I’m a bit low on free time lately). This exact UI functionality “Angle Offset” is implemented for Rotation > Drawing Angle, so there’s a lot of good example code to work from. What is missing is a condition that would enable this offse…

I agree with you about the merging those topics, after reading all the info that both collected, its the same goal that you wanna get with this Global Brush Angle Offset for both Rotation and Tilt direction. Both parts win in this merging. [image] Feature request: Global brush angle offset for t…

[image] THE_CULT_OF_BERSERK: What do you think about this? @Deevad are you ok with the merging? Thanks for reading, but I don’t think merging them is a good idea. I read @wojtryb 's request carefully before opening mine. His request is for a global option, at the settings level. It’s a usefu…

There’s no problem implementing both without merging the topics. The topics are just to keep the discussion more relevant. Given that I already made some research, I’ll try to work on this next. Can’t say though when it will materialize.

I proposed something similar a few years ago:

There was some interesting discussion there, and a bugtracker wish was made, but it never made to krita. Maybe those topics could be merged.
