AF 1.9.2 Mac macros do not work with a wacom tablet

[Fivel]

This was brought up several years ago, but I do not see that there was a fix for this issue.

I can get the macros to open/work with a mouse, but not with my Wacom Intuos Draw pen/tablet.

There is no preference setting for tablets either.

I enjoy AF for my astrophotography processing, but would prefer to use a pen than a mouse.

Is there a current fix for this old issue?

Thanks and stay well.

@Fivel This is still with developers, I'll update the log to see if any new movement is made.

Thank you Lee for your update.

As to the issue, there is a workaround, but it is not as quick and easy to use.

On any macro I right click and select Edit macro.

That puts the macro in the macro panels instead of the library.

Finally to use the macro I must press the play button.

I hope that after all these years someone can get this issue fixed.

Thanks again for an otherwise outstanding application.

Update: 

with version 1.10.4 the problem still exists.

There is no problem to record and edit a macro with a Wacom pen and tablet (Wacom Intous Pro), but it is not possible to run the macro. With a mouse the macro runs.

Hi and welcome to the forums @hdframez, This has been brought up previously.

It is one of the weirdest things I have come across in my decades of working with computers.

I actually went and put one of the buttons on the tablet to be a mouse Click. Hover the cursor over the macro and hit the button on the tablet with your free hand. Works but it is utterly stupid.

Thanks @Old Bruce for the welcome and the workaround!
