the ini files dont load...what am i doing wrong?
« on: September 04, 2015, 12:29:16 pm »
Purchased the manager from the windows store for $10; followed the link to download the desktop app, I run the app, go to layout, choose the ink file, say like the "left" custom file from this forum, and nothing happens... the layout doesn't change from the simple one...

Hi Manaty,

It could be a few things. When in settings do you see the file selected?

If you load the ini file some of the functions may need to be turned on. I have no buttons on my left.ini file in "float mode"

If you go to the quick panel or right click the taskbar icon and select "fullscreen" that may enable the buttons. (or artist pad mode)

If that doesn't work it could be the opacity is too low, or "auto hide" is turned on (in which case do a 5 finger swipe right and you'll see the buttons in fullscreen)

Let me know if that works. Have you downloaded the latest beta? if not email me and I'll send it to you. You can see beta number in general settings.

I think I have a similar issue, running a surface pro 4, just installed tabletpro2000beta42 and bought the whatever it was from the store page (which seemed to point me toward an older version of the installer for some reason? "tabletpcmouse1965")

I have an art pad ready made and saved out as a .ini file, I can preview it in the layout editor and it's the correct one, but I cannot for the life of me actually load it. I've gone to "Layout" and I see my .ini file there, but if I select it I'm still left with the default artpad buttons.

I don't really understand a lot of this, I'm not interested in the track-pad emulation stuff at all, I just like the look of your art-dock thing. I've fiddled with "full-screen" and other stuff but I'm still left with the default artpad docked to the left. Any ideas?

Apologies for double post, I've made a little head-way. In the "Art Pad" panel of the settings window, I noticed the Layout dropdown menu was set to Medium, I assumed this was icon size, but when I set it to default my custom "ArtPad.ini" layout magically loaded into place. So I've somehow managed to overwrite the default I guess.

Still very confused by all of this, but that's a little progression at-least.
