Is getting midi values through bttMIDIValuechanged broken?

Bugs or Unexpected Behavior
1

It seems that midi triggers with asynchronous applescripts are not called at all. That makes it impossible to read the midi values.

As I did not see any activity on this report, I went out and tracked it down myself (by bisecting the homebrew repository). The problem appeared in version 4.260, 4.258 is fine.

@Andreas_Hegenberg, would you mind confirming and taking a look? This is quite disruptive.

thanks a lot,

Holger

I'll have a look! (I did check the code but didn't see anything obvious, but I need to check with a real device)

Excellent, thanks a lot! Hopefully, narrowing down the breaking build helped.

I purchased Better Touch Tool specifically for this purpose, and no combination of settings or scripting I've tried (blocking or async) has managed to share MIDI values with an AppleScript. I even tried downgrading to 4.258 and it still doesn't work.
