As Manu said, selecting de selecting onion skin is the hardest to do with a tablet in ASP.

I haven't hooked up my tablet in a good year or so. Maybe I'll reinstall the drivers and try it again...

I'm going to change my vote (not the vote itself as I voted YES anyway) but over the last few days i've been using my tablet with AS - it's less tiering on the hands.

I agree with Gilles though, there's something wrong with the onionskinning controls, i always have to click 16 times in quick succession to actually get it to turn off...

The reason it is so hard to turn onion skinning off with a tablet is that, when you touch the stylus down on the tablet to register a click, it is very hard not to also move it slightly, which AS interprets as a click followed by a drag. What happens is, the initial click turns off the onion skinning, but the drag instantly turns it back on again! This is a bug, pure and simple.

The fix would be to ignore the drag until the cursor gets dragged over to a different frame than the one that was initially clicked in. If this got done, perhaps it would mean that onion-skinning could get left enabled and we wouldn't have to re-enable it every time we restart AS.

I actually use my laptop's touch pad, so this is a non-issue for me since the button is completely separate from the touch pad, but I still remember how annoying it was when I used the mouse on my desktop.

I just ordered the new pen and software to install it again so it should be coming soon and I'll install the 12'' beast once again.
