I completely agree with DavidMac. We absolutely need the ability to have the macro paste what is CURRENTLY in the clipboard, not what was first copied when the macro was recorded.
For example, I am trying to automate the process of copying my storyboard frames from a 3 panel per page layout to a 9 panels per page layout. I began on the 3 panel layout, copying the first panel before switching tabs to my 9 panel layout. Here is where I started to record the macro by hitting paste, and then proceeded to resize the panel to fit the new smaller frame size, then stopped the recording. However, I next returned to my 3 panel layout, copied the 2nd panel into the clipboard and then returned to the 9 panel page and tried to play back the macro, but instead of pasting panel 2 it repasted panel 1.
I tried trashing and re-recording it over again as I thought it was a glitch as I've never had a problem doing this in Photoshop, but unfortunately it continued to happen. My next stop was these forums and I'm incredibly disappointed to discover it's not a bug but apparently this is how it's intended to work. How sad.
Affinity I truly want to completely ditch Photoshop for good but you're making it entirely too frustrating to do so. Please get this fixed ASAP, or at least give us the option of playing back what is currently in the clipboard. Thank you.
