Patch window macros not working from older show file

I have just been having a play with the Hog 4 running v1.1.2 using a showfile created on v1.0.1 and the macros I created to cross patch universes for DMX Test functionality will not run. The macro is clearly running, but the screen presses are not at all correct.

They are working fine now I have set them up again but they are complex macros to setup so i'm keen to understand why updating the console should stop them working as I don't want to have to record them again every time the console is updated.

My other macros are fine - only having issues relating to the patch window macros.

Any ideas?

Has your screen layout/resolution changed at all?
Keystroke Macros are dependent upon exact positioning on the screen for this to work properly since "touch" events are triggered by their pixel coordinate on the screen....not the actual software "button" you are pressing.

Hope this helps. :)

Hi Marty,

No, nothing like that has changed at all. In the venue they worked fine, then I came back and updated the console, launched the show again and they didn't work.

It's strange....
