Hi, There is a really old, and quite long, list of bugs at Qt, take for example: https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-9190
Wacom support is broken, it's in fact somewhere between alpha or beta state, some tablets work some others dont. In OSX they work pretty good, in windows you really suffer. The driver works fine for several non-Qt apps (Adobe Suite works just fine) 0) It's not a driver issue 1) Wacom support is broken in Qt, several bugs are closely related 2) QtCreator, qmlpuppet and every single Qt App is affected by bugs right now 3) There is no official Wacom support 4) Few % of Qt apps are in fact targeting Wacom 5) Nobody cares about Wacom anyway, or the bug should be solved by now (some bugs are 2+ years old) 6) Digia wrote a patch, but it's a hack and was rejected 7) There are examples showcasing Qt's Wacom support but this is not true, Wacom is broken, nobody complains because 5) Another point to consider: 1) Quick 2.0 is the way to go, but it targets designers 2) Designers use mostly Adobe suite and other similar tools (this means probably Wacoms in there) 3) Even with the Wacom unplugged the bugs are present, killing the usefulness of even QtCreator 4) Many scenarios will pop where designers+coders work in the same workstations 5) These wacom problems will become common as time passes Myself have a room with 40+ workstations where the driver is installed/uninstalled at least once a week, it's a nightmare. also, from the IRC channel: <Desert> "Wacom tablets don't work properly in any application that uses QT because the problem lies in the QT library." <thiago> we know <thiago> we just don't care enough <thiago> there's no one with a Wacom tablet who can fix the issue <cbreak> I found that tablets worked ok in Qt on OS X <cbreak> they worked kind of on windows. <cbreak> but only with lots of trouble <Desert> cbreak: this is why im asking some flag to disable that support, to avoid having that trouble for free <thiago> but like I said before, since that's the case, we should just remove support <thiago> we know it breaks every other release <thiago> and we know no one fixes it <thiago> so let's just remove it once and for all <Desert> thiago is right, someone maybe will step in in the future and fix it <thiago> in the nearer future, since no one will, we should just remove it In the very beggining of this I was asking for a commandline switch myapp.exe --wacom or something like a flag Qt::WA_AcceptWacom to keep Wacom disabled and we (99.999%) of developers not caring about Wacom keep our sanity. Is it better to remove Wacom for Qt5? what do you think?
