I bought a new Mac, saved all my triggers, and imported them to the new one.
I see all sorts of weird behaviours in the new Mac in BTT alone. Where a keyboard shortcut sent inside of, for example, “Photoshop” will be sent to another app like “Chrome”, the same shortcut trigger, but sent to entirely different apps that are out of focus, and will therefore bring the app to the front and trigger an action accidentally.
I also see that most of the sequences I had, that had “disabled” actions, if I delete the “disabled” actions from the shortcut, will make BTT crash and quit altogether.
I’m starting to do a clean up of the shortcuts that are apparently corrupted and do not work properly. Which with about 600 shortcuts will take a good while.
Just wanted to know if you have already encountered this issue when doing a BTT migration before, and if you had any recommendations for me in order to troubleshoot effectively.
I can provide my entire set of triggers below for you to review
In case the preset import does not work, you can also copy the whole BTT folder from ~/Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool to your new machine.
I haven't encountered any issues with preset exports recently, but I'll have a look at yours to see whether I can find anything weird.
This however does not sound like a preset problem, more like a macOS issue - BTT just sends the shortcut, the system decides which app will receive it (unless you use the "Send Shortcut To Specific App" action). Have you already tried to restart the machine? Especially after first granting accessibility permissions, things can sometimes be weird.
I just looked through your preset but haven't been able to find disabled actions so far. Can you point me to some that imported with disabled actions?
Do you maybe have the experimental Dropbox or iCloud sync enabled? Your preset seems to import fine on my test machin, I haven't found anything obviously wrong so far.
As for which is the reason of random apps listening to triggers from other apps, I’m currently not running BTT icloud or dropbox sync enabled.
I can’t really point the issue myself since it happens randomly. I have done my best to try and clean up the triggers. And I restart my computar every day or so, as well as restart BTT every single session as well.
