Area settings always reset after PC resume

[tempuserr]

After resume PC (Win 10 x64, latest drivers) from standby my Wacom 5.1 L's preferences - especially mapping area - are almost always reset to full area.
The only solution to restore proper area settings I have found is unplug and replug tablet.
But I afraid that mini-USB socket in tablet after hundreds or thousands of replugs after each computer resume will damaged this socket and make tablet completely unusable. In fact it becomes more loosy month after month.

So question is:
1. there is a way do do some kind of full initialization tablet settings after resume?
OR
2. there is a way to reload tablet settings (by e.g PrefUtil.exe) from command line, so I can run script on system's resume event?
OR
3. Other solution to solve this annoyance?

If you saved the setting in a file, just doubleclick this file and confirm, that you want to restore settings. Running prefutils with the filename should also work.

Launching saved *.wacomprefs file indeed works (there is only one confirmation dialog to click). Thanks.
It would be great if there will be possible any "quiet" (non-interaction) option.

But running

Code: Select all

"c:\Program Files\Tablet\Wacom\32\PrefUtil.exe" "c:\<path>\Wacom Intuos 5.1 L.wacomprefs"

didn't work - this display its normal PrefUtil's GUI with 5 buttons to backup/restore/delete/exit.

I reverse engineered this little piece of s***.

To restore tablet's settings silently without interaction anyone should execute:

Code: Select all

"%ProgramFiles%\Tablet\Wacom\32\PrefUtil.exe"  /restore  /silent  "<path to your .wacomprefs config file>"

There are also other command line parameters for PrefUtil:

Code: Select all

/remove-all
/remove-all-no-restart
/backup    .wacomprefs
/restore    .wacomprefs
/silent
(?) /localized-shell-execute
/export    .wacomxs
/import    .wacomxs
/language    ...
/drivertype   ...

Hi tempuserr

Do you know if there is a way to do this on a Mac as well?

Thank you in advance.

The little piece of s*** is sensitive to the order of it's parameters: You MUST use /silent /restore <filename> and not any other ordering. Also note there is no command-line option for "usage", "help", "about".

If you look inside the preferences file, changing from landscape to portrait changes two numbers around, yet importing takes about 5 seconds, so be patient if you think that it didn't work.

While I'm on a rant, why isn't the driver able to determine the orientation of the monitor and match it?
