Updated to 6.010 from 5.821 and experienced MANY problems. Action sequences just stop in the middle, images not recognized, skips over some actions. Tried putting a “wait for X fingers touching trackpad” in key spots to see where things might be hanging up but the action sequences just keep going until some arbitrary point where it just stalls out. I have a couple of dozen websites that I use BTT to log on to and none of them work in 6.010. Tried completely redoing one set of actions from the start and still had the same problems. Gone back to 5.821.

could you post an example action sequence that doesn't work for you? I haven't had similar reports yet, but maybe it's caused by some specific action you have been using?
I think I might have found something related to action sequences that use "waiting" actions (e.g. waiting for conditions, waiting for windows, waiting for images etc.). This should be resolved in 6.011 now!

Did manage to update to 6.017 and things seem to work okay. Problem is that a few new action sequences I just set up in 5.821 were completely deleted in 6.017 including getting the login sequence for a new financial website and a few other changes I made to a couple of gestures (replaced by the way they were before I made the changes). Several hours spent that will have to be redone.
This is because when you upgraded from
5.821 to 6.010 a new database was created in ~/Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool:
btt_data_store.version_6_010_build_2026010708-wal
btt_data_store.version_6_010_build_2026010708-shm
btt_data_store.version_6_010_build_2026010708
Then when you downgraded to 5.821 you went back the the 5.821 database and made edits to that. But if you now upgrade BTT to a version > 6.010 it will use the highest available database version number as base for the new database, so it will use your btt_data_store.version_6_010_build_2026010708 database.
You can fix this by quitting BTT, then deleting all databases that have newer versions than 5_821 from ~/Library/Application Support/BetterTouchTool (best make a copy of that folder first)
If you then launch BTT again it will use your 5_821 database as base again.
