Right now, OTD isn't very accessible for artists - they need to jump through a lot of hoops (for a non-techie) to get it working and have to get a lot of steps right before it works properly.

It would be nice if this could be a one-click setup, or at least as few clicks as possible, preferably in the initial setup guide (e.g. user choosing between "Gaming" or Artist preset), but I'm open for other ideas.

Steps that would need to be automated:

  • Installing the VMulti driver (run a .cmd or .bat file as admin?)
  • Setting output mode (hence the need for gaming/artist presets)
  • Setting bindings for the user (pen tip and barrels to their respective Windows Ink counterpart)
    Optionally, consider locking tip binding when in artist mode
  • Guiding the user to buttons that don't always have good defaults, such as aux keys
    ..could alternatively use same keys as OEM defaults? would need to be added to each tablets config though.. and that's out of scope for this issue

About the driver installation, here are the commands I run each time I reinstall my machine:

PowerShell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/X9VoiD/vmulti-bin/releases/download/v1.0/VMulti.Driver.zip -OutFile '%TEMP%\VMulti-Driver.zip'"
PowerShell -Command "Expand-Archive -Path '%TEMP%\VMulti-Driver.zip' -DestinationPath '%TEMP%\VMulti-Driver' -Force"
CALL "%TEMP%\VMulti-Driver\install_hiddriver.bat"
PowerShell -Command "Invoke-WebRequest -Uri https://github.com/X9VoiD/VoiDPlugins/releases/latest/download/WindowsInk.zip -OutFile '%TEMP%\WindowsInk.zip'"
PowerShell -Command "Expand-Archive -Path '%TEMP%\WindowsInk.zip' -DestinationPath '%LOCALAPPDATA%\OpenTabletDriver\Plugins\Windows Ink' -Force"
