Wacom pen button for eraser won't work
GIMP version: 2.10.14
Operating System: macOS 10.15.3 (Catalina)
Package: Installer from gimp.org
Description of the bug
I have a One by Wacom tablet. Its stylus has no eraser on the back end, but two programmable buttons on the side. In the tablet configuration program I created a profile for gimp and defined one of them as eraser:
In gimp I set everything up under Input devices. Here's an example referring to the Eraser device:
While the Quartz Pen device works as expected, the Quartz Eraser doesn't. When I press that button, the Quartz Eraser device is not selected. Instead, the Quartz Pen device remains selected, so basically the stylus works like a pen rather than an eraser.
I've found a similar issue #1964, but in my case the eraser doesn't work at all.
Reproduction
Is the bug reproducible? Always, wasn't able to erase anything this way.
Reproduction steps:
- install wacom tablet drivers
- connect tablet
- set up stylus buttons using the software installed with the drivers
- define one of the stylus buttons as eraser
- start gimp
- activate wacom hardware under Edit > Input devices
- try to erase something while pressing the button previously defined as eraser
Expected result: The Quartz Eraser device is activated when the button is pressed, allowing to use the stylus as an eraser.
Actual result: The Quartz Pen device remains active.
