ink-workspace's Issues

[Bug] Unable to update ink workspace

Issue:
Cannot update ink workspace to version 2.0 (Mentioned in another issue) through Microsoft store. Reinstalling does not solve the problem. Author's app section was checked, but Ink Workspace 2.0 does not appear as another app release.

[Microsoft Store update page after Ink Workspace was reinstalled]

[Author's app section in Microsoft Store]

[Images of ink workspace 2.0 found in another issue]

Environment:
Current Ink Workspace version: 1.10.0
Windows version: 25290 Dev
Microsoft Store Version: 22212.1401.6.0

[Preview version] Screen recording doesn't work on Windows 10

Screen or window recording doesn't work on Windows 10.

Red pen battery status icon when battery level is low

Shift + I shortcut acts as Win + Shift + I

Add support for tablet mode in Windows 11

[Suggestion] Pin files

In addition to the recent files would be nice to have a fixed file too.

Feature Request: Pen status panel

If it's possible, would be great to have a pen status panel so you could see if it is connected by Bluetooth and its battery charge. Kinda like the Windows settings tile under Devices.

Microsoft 365 64-bit apps don't appear in the app list in Ink Workspace 2.0

64-bit Microsoft 365 (Office) apps don't appear in the list of apps. It only affects these apps, since other 64-bit programs such as WinRar do appear in the list of applications.

For example, only the UWP versions of Word and OneNote appear, the desktop versions of the entire Office Suite do not appear.

[Preview version] 'Stop capturing' keyboard shortcut works randomly

This keyboard shortcut works only when Ink Workspace window is/was recently opened.
Probably it doesn't work when Ink Workspace main window is not focused.
It doesn't work when Start menu has been opened.

Run apps as administrator

Missing 'close' button text in onboarding screen

Thank you for this well-designed app :)

Upon updating the app, an onboarding screen showed up, but the 'close' button on the last screen was missing its text. (All other screens except the last one had text)

[Feature request] Add search bar to the apps section

It would be nice to have a search bar in the all apps section.

New resources for Ink Workspace 2.4

Hello, I would like to add a new feature in Ink Workspace 2.4. It will allow you to change the size of main window, and I need four new resources of a new setting: title, description and two options in ComboBox control:

@ZHang233-ai @yrctw @Vaki21 @FJduFou @alessandrocaseti @AndrewKeepCoding @jonghyunii @lukedesign @esibruti @alextecplayz @baglayan @CaptainSodium73 @quietrobot I would like to ask you to translate these four sentences (of course, I understand if you can't do this):

• App window size
• Change the size of workspace window
• Normal
• Compact

You can just type these translations and language code in a comment.

[Preview version] 'Start capturing' keyboard shortcut works randomly

This keyboard shortcut works only when Ink Workspace window is/was recently opened.
Probably it doesn't work when Ink Workspace main window is not focused.
It doesn't work when Start menu has been opened.

Arm64 support?

Is there a chance we can get an Arm64 port for surface pro x or other Arm64 devices?

Cannot open ink workspace 2 preview in 25309

Previous version can open it successfully,but installed the latest verison can't.

Nothing happens when clicking on the icon buttons.

Version 2.3.0 Transparency Issues

After updating ink workspace to version 2.3.0 from the Microsoft store, the app is very transparent, and the right border is wider than the left.

Windows 10 22H2

Add Arabic language support

I can contribute in adding Arabic language support to Ink Workspace. I'm ready if you agree.

Yellow border, from screen recording, is always visible

If you start a screen recording and close the program from the tray icon while the recording is running, the yellow border remains. After restarting the app, the screen recording is no longer working.

Add Sleep option to Shut down quick action

I see so much untapped potential here...

At the moment, this app serves as "one place for all the Inking apps+ some other features" and it lives exclusively on the Taskbar's tray area; It is in and of itself superbe at what it does, but I see so much more that could be done with what you have built.

A bit a context: Every time I take a look at my overcrowded taskbar, I ask myself: wouldn't it be great to have apps Grouped by Categories, all my entertainment apps, all my video/ photo editing software, all my office apps, all my games, and so on... it would be like having a "Mini Start Menu" for all the different app Categories in my taskbar.

Here, I did a quick mockup so you can get a better idea of what i mean:

where did you get the recycle bin icon

where did you get the icon I want to download it

Ink Workspace should start faster

New Windows 11 Mica style

Section titles remain black after disabling the dark mode on Windows 11

A screen rotation issue

I use HDMI to connect an external monitor with my laptop. When I rotate the screen using Ink Workspace, it causes the default screen position of the system to be misaligned and requires readjustment.

New translations for Ink Workspace 2.2

Hello, I would like to add a new feature in Ink Workspace 2.2. It allows you to rotate the screen of your device. It has 5 options:

• tile action (default) - rotates your screen 90 degrees in clock-wise direction every time you click the tile,
• context menu actions - rotate your screen to specific positions in clock-wise direction, e.g., 'Rotate to 0°' means default orientation, 'Rotate to 90°' means that screen is rotated 90 degrees and so on...

@ZHang233-ai @Vaki21 @FJduFou @alessandrocaseti @AndrewKeepCoding @jonghyunii @lukedesign @esibruti @alextecplayz @baglayan @CaptainSodium73 @quietrobot I would like to ask you to translate these 5 sentences (quick action title and context menu items) using resource files. Of course, I understand if you can't do this :)

You can create a pull request or just type these translations and language in a comment.

Sometimes when I scroll up and down using the mouse wheel and mouse pointer is on the app , it changes screen brightness.

I'm using Twinkle Tray app. Maybe Ink Workspace and Twinkle Tray are not compatible together.

Request: Combine Pinyin character and Alphabet character in app list

Persian (فارسی) language is not supported

It seems that Persian language is not supported in this app and no translator has translated it. Of course, I hope I can help (but unfortunately, I'm not a developer)

Possible issue with activation shortcut

Upon updating the app, Shift+I triggered the activation shortcut without pressing the Windows key. I remapped again to Winows+Shift+I, and that resolved the issue.

Pro version is not available in Ukrainian Microsoft Store

There's no way to buy the Pro version in Ukrainian Microsoft Store, it says the item is not available

error in how the panel is displayed

my screen is 1920 x 1080 and when I open the app the panel shows out of the place where it should be

[Settings 2.0] Home and Apps pages still have dashes

Captures doesn't playback in some apps

Captures from Ink Workspace (both v1 and v2) can't be played in some video players like Windows Media Player (Legacy works) and Photos.

Fixes for Ink Workspace 2.4

• fix for SemanticZoom control scaling in Apps view (1.01)
• fix for back button style in Settings window
• fix for scaling of background in preview area in Personalization settings
• fix for app windows scaling

[Bug] Only store apps are visible in the apps section

Currently only store apps are visible in the apps section.
It would be nice to have the win32 apps in the list as well.
If not permanently, an option in the settings to show the win32 apps would be nice.

[Feature Request] Add Lottie animations to Ink Workspace 2.0 Settings Icons

The Settings menu in Ink Workspace needs to have one more improvement, the colorized icons in the left side needs to be animated with Lottie. This will make it more focused and smoother just like they did in Windows 11 Settings app. Can you add this feature to a new preview update?

Optimize system tray Icon

In the new DEV version of Windows 11, System tray icons now have new hover effects and some visual changes. The icon of Ink Workspace and Ink Workspace Pro, unlike the icons of other programs, has taken on a strange and very thin shape after this update, which must be optimized.

请求在”ink-workspace“中添加通过快捷键快速控制开关Windows触摸键盘（TabTip.exe）的功能；

非常感谢您能开发出“ink-workspace”这么棒的软件；
目前在使用触笔的时候存在一个问题；我希望您能在未来的”ink-workspace“版本中添加通过快捷键快速控制开关Windows触摸键盘（TabTip.exe）的功能；
**我的需求是我能够使用快捷键打开触摸键盘，这样能方便在键盘和触笔同时使用的情况下，快速使用触笔来进行手写输入；目前在Windows11系统下，似乎除了点击右下角触摸键开关好像没有其他方法了快速打开触摸键盘（TabTip.exe）。**之前听过可以通过打开C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\taptip.exe来打开触摸键盘，但是这个方法在WIN11已经不起作用了。

以下是上述中文的翻译：
The following is a translation of the above Chinese:
Request that you add the ability to switch the Windows touch keyboard (TabTip.exe) on and off by using the shortcut key in“Ink-workspace”;
Thank you so much for developing such great software as“Ink-workspace”;
There is a problem with using a stylus at the moment; I hope you will be able to add the ability to quickly switch on and off the Windows touch keyboard (TabTip.exe) with a shortcut key in a future version of ink-workspace

• • my requirement is that I can use the keyboard shortcut to open the touch keyboard, so that I can quickly use the stylus for handwriting input while using both the keyboard and the stylus; currently, on Windows 11, there doesn't seem to be any other way to quickly turn on the touch keyboard (tab. EXE) other than by clicking on the touch key switch in the lower right corner. * * I've heard you can open ’C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\ink\taptip.exe‘ to open the touch keyboard, but this method does not work in WIN11.
