Dorico 6 and Keyboard Maestro (Mac)

[composerkaumann]

Because Dorico 5 and Dorico 6 are separate apps with different names Keyboard Maestro users need to do some manual tweaking to keep their macros working:

1. change the scope of Dorico set to new app
2. sadly for users with many macros- scroll through them all and see if any action refers to “Dorico” (menu selection for example) and switch them to — “Dorico”

DigitalPerformer has a nice approach to this: new version is always named Digital Performer after an update and old version gets ver. number added to app name.

With KM I try to use Front Application within any group of macros dedicated to a specified app. That way you only need to change the owner app name in the group container. (But it looks like Dorico 6 now identifies as plain Dorico).

@carlvine

Dorico 6 now identifies as plain Dorico

From KM that was also same for Dorico pro 5. They both appear in KM as “Dorico” but as 2 different apps. Dorico & Dorico.

Front app aporoach seems good, thanks.

On my Mac (running Sequoia) and KM 11.0.3 Dorico 5 and 6 are displayed including the version number

I’m using application groups so I had only to change the target(s) of the group.

Recently upgrade to Dorico 6

On my Mac (Sequoia 15.6.1) and KM 11.0.4 Dorico 5 and 6 are added in “ these application”

However my macro’s only work with Dorico 5

What else can I do to fix this?

[Vadian]

I would try to delete and reassign the Dorico 6 entry

Already tried this without any result
