I would like to thank those on the GIMP listserve who were so helpful to me
when I was trying to figure out how to use it. However, I do not intend to
be using GIMP in the future and would prefer not to receive all these emails
in my inbox. If you would please remove me from the list I would greatly
appreciate it. If I do start doing more with GIMP in the future I will look
forward to again being part of your conversation.
Thank you so much,
Ward Ricker

Hi. I can't get pressure sensitivity with my pen on my surface pro

I am guessing it may work if you install the optional Wintab drivers from
there: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49498
Basically GIMP only has support for Wintab drivers (and in particular not
the new Ink API which Microsoft is now pushing forward; though we'd love to
have support but that would require someone to step up and implement this in
GTK+).
Note that some people (on bug reports) have problems with higher versions of
the Surface Pro and Microsoft does not mention anymore optional Wintab
drivers from v5 and above. Therefore it is possible that GIMP may not work
on recent versions, but you may still be fine with the version 4 which you
have.
Of course this is all just a lot of assumptions from what I could gather
from the web, since I have not such a device (and I think none of other GIMP
developers have one either).
If you manage to get GIMP working on the surface pro 4, please tell us.
This will be an interesting input.
Also you may want to try with the version GIMP 2.10.6, and not the latest
2.10.8, as there is a bug which affected some tablets on Windows (no idea if
it would affect this one too, but no harm on being double sure).
