Macros saved in Library don't run on click


Recommended Posts

Hey guys … I'm sorry if this has been discussed anywhere else, but I'm stymied and I can't find any advice yet.

(This is in Photo, obviously.) When I click on a macro that I've previously saved in the Library panel, it will run … maybe one out of fifteen times. Usually it does nothing, and I have to right-click, select "Edit Macro," which opens the Macro tab, and then click the run button there. Very annoying and sub-optimal, especially when I KNOW it's supposed to work by clicking in the Library and it does … but only very occasionally.

Anyone know what the problem might be? Am I missing something very simple here?

Thanks folks, appreciate it! 👍

Here on my Mac with my Wacom tablet, a click with the Wacom's Pen will not run a Macro in the Library. This has been noted, not too sure if it is a Wacom or a Mac or an Affinity thing.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Oh wow … I never would have thought to try that, but yeah, seems to work fine when I click with the trackpad. Bizarre, but thank you!

Thanks! I tried a few searches on various iterations of "macro" and didn't find any of these … I never thought to try "af-1051" ;) 

My search (in the forum search box) was Wacom library macros

Aaah, gotcha! I was mostly making a dumb joke, but yeah, I didn't realize it was specifically a Wacom issue, so I never thought to add that to my search terms. Probably why I didn't find anything. Thanks!

You're welcome. And that makes sense.
