		0xff00ffee on Feb 5, 2020 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Wacom tablets track every app you open Hmm... Good point. I could see how Wacom could make context sensitive control panels based on the app, without having to ask the user, but then I still would want control over that: what if the functionality becomes too different between to apps and I find it annoying? This should be exposed to the user. It makes it feel less nefarious, I guess. But I still don't want a C&C server knowing this much about me.

You do have control over it. By default, every app uses the same configuration. You proactively add configs to apps that you want to work differently.

For me, I've used it to make the pen work like a touchpad stylus while normally working, but map to the screen corners when working in photoshop.
