Hello!
Using Spine on a touchscreen device like the Microsoft Surface can indeed present some challenges. Currently, Spine does not fully support multi-touch gestures such as two-finger panning. This limitation can cause issues when trying to use the software on a touchscreen device.
Here are a few suggestions to help mitigate these issues:
Use Hotkeys for Panning and Zooming: You can use the keyboard shortcuts to pan and zoom. For example, holding the J key while dragging with a single touch or pen can help you pan the view. Similarly, you can use the U key along with dragging to zoom in and out.
Disable Touch Gestures: If touch gestures are causing issues, you might want to disable them and rely on the pen and keyboard shortcuts for navigation.
Check for Updates: Keep an eye on updates from Esoteric Software. They are aware of the limitations and have plans to improve the touchpad and touchscreen experience in future versions.
Use a Pen: If possible, use a stylus or pen for more precise control. This can help avoid some of the issues caused by touch gestures.
Restart Spine: If the zoom gesture breaks the panning functionality, restarting Spine can temporarily resolve the issue.
Unfortunately, there is no immediate fix for the lack of full multi-touch support, but these workarounds can help you continue working on your projects.
