Delay with Jogwheel/Mousewheel in combination with Wacom and TVpaint
Posted: 20 Oct 2022, 20:06
This is something I noticed back when I was using TVpaint 11 on my Macbook Air with an Intuos tablet a few years ago.
When I witched between the pen to draw and the touchwheel to flip there was a delay before TVpaint reacted. The touchwheel I assume functioned as a mousewheel, after lifting the pen it would take several seconds until the wheel registered and was usable again in TVpaint.
I notice a similar behaviour with my Wacom Cintiq 16 in combination with the Shuttle Pro v2 in TVpaint 11 Pro on Linux (Manjaro KDE). I can set keys and use all buttons on the Shuttle Pro device without delay except the Jogwheel. TVpaint only recognizes it when it is set to mousewheel functions (XK_Scroll_Up, XK_Scroll_Down), which are equivalent to Wheel Up and Wheel Down in TVpaint. But I also have to wait a few seconds after lifting the pen away from the screen to be able to use the Jogwheel. The expected behaviour is that TVpaint should react as soon as the input comes after the pen leaves the surface.
TVpaint is the only program that exhibits this behaviour. In contrast Krita, Gimp, MyPaint etc. all switch between the Wacom pen and the Shuttle Pro v2 correctly.
I assume this is related to how TVpaint handles mousewheel interactions, since only those functions are affected. I also get the same result when using the pen and actual wheel on a mouse.
Is this something others have noticed and is there a way to adjust the behaviour?
Technically the device works with TVpaint, though in practice having to wait several seconds to use the Jogwheel for rotation or flipping is tedious.
I use the following package in Manjaro
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/shuttlepro-git
https://github.com/agraef/ShuttlePRO
This is my config (Note: I use a custom layout in Tvpaint):
