> is there any hope for tablet (with pressure sensitivity at least) > support in win port of the gimp? The issue isn't in the Windows port of *GIMP*. I am rather certain the problems are in the Windows backend in *GTK* (GDK). It needs to have some loving care applied to its tablet support. If it would work better, the existing tablet support in GIMP presumably would work fine as such also on Windows. It's mostly a question of inspiration and resources (access to a tablet and time). I do have a tablet (have had for a long time), but to tell the truth I rarely use it. I might have the inspiration. But, very seldom do I have time for one of those several hours long concentrated intense hacking sessions that I assume would be needed. And when I have such time, there always seems to be some other, more urgent, bug that needs fixing ;-) --tml
