Macro do not work

[rdwy10]

Maybe someone can tell me why a macro doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong? I have MacOS Mojave and AP Beta 1.10.5.270. And I downloaded a few macros from Affinity Macro tutorial and imported them within AP. I have a pixel background (with the step crop and straighten) and when I click on the macro (inpaint..) nothing happens. No idea why that is, apparently something is wrong, but what? Besides, other downloaded macros don't work either. I just started AP by the way. I hope someone knows what's wrong.

There have been issues reported before about clicking on a macro name in the Library not working sometimes, on Mac. Sometimes it seems to depend on whether you're using a mouse (and what kind of mouse), or the trackpad, or a drawing tablet. So more details about your hardware might help.

The only Affinity Macro tutorial I am familiar with is https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/309301203/, so I am not sure what you mean about downloading macros from a tutorial. Can you explain more about where you found these macros to download?

I have a wireless Logitech mouse with scroll wheel for normal use, In AP I work with a Wacom tablet Intuos BT M. I have now tried to use the mouse as a test and it works then well. So it is the Wacom tablet that gives the problem. I have no further problems with other operations in AP. Any idea how this can be solved?

The only way I can get the Wacom to 'work' is to have a button on the tablet set to give a 'click' then I can use the pen to hover over the macro and hit the button on the tablet. I guess I could set the Pen's Eraser to be a click...

Yes, that video you link to here, I mean, I followed it and built the macro and exported it to my library.
