In other news, I've updated the Tabtip-Tamer to V2. V2 now includes the following drawing / pen editing graphics apps:
Flash, Fireworks, The Gimp, Ink Art, Alias Sketchbook Pro, ZBrush, Pixologic, Alias, Mirage, Painter, Photoshop, Illustrator, & Expression

Why do you need Tabtip-Tamer? (v2) -In the past few posts, I've tried several long-winded explanations.. But here it is one more time.
When you use Flash on a Tablet PC, (or other vector drawing app) -for some reason, the tabtip.exe process takes higher priority than the drawing application. This results in a laggy behavior, not when using the tip (handwriting recognition input), but when editing graphics in Flash, drawing, or possibly using any other drawing application that uses pressure sensitivity.
(I'm guessing it's only vector based applications)
Tabtip-Tamer-V2.exe's only function is to automatically boost the tabtip.exe priority to HIGH, while one of these apps is running. This has the end result of smoothing things out while drawing, and dropping the handwriting recognition back to normal functionality when you're not in your drawing app. I swear to you, I do not currently own a tin foil hat.. ! ;-) Install in your startup folder.
Over & out!
