DP / Keyboard Maestro Problem

Post by JSmith1234567 »

I'm having a problem with the "Export soundbite" dialog.

I have a keyboard Maestro macro that inserts the date as text, but it doesn't work in the "Export soundbite" dialog.

The trigger in Keyboard Maestro is command-D.

I noticed that command-D is de-select all in DP.

I deleted that in DP's commands window, but it still tries to trigger something in the Edit menu?

What is weird is that it does work when doing stuff like naming a track, or doing a "Save as", just not in the "Export Soundbites" dialog?

Weirdly enough, when I go to Keyboard Maestro and change the trigger from command-D to just a KM Palette (no keystroke), it still seems to be trying to trigger something from DP's edit window when I try to insert a date while exporting from DP.

I would post this on the Keyboard Maestro forum, but this seems really specific to DP, not Keyboard Maestro?
