Trying to use BTT with displayplacer.

Terminal command: displayplacer "id:2960D639-F605-5BB4-A53D-A3263008894C res:1680x1050 color\_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(0,0) degree:0" "id:2C760D0F-031B-9783-97A6-46126C957D20 res:3008x1692 hz:30 color\_depth:8 scaling:on origin:(-3008,-1655) degree:0"

HUD works, so I know it's triggering, but it won't execute the command.  
If I put in open ~/Downloads, that works great.

**Affected input device (e.g. MacBook Trackpad, Magic Mouse/Trackpad, Touch Bar, etc.):**  
MacBook Pro Retina TrackPad

**Screenshots**

**Device information:**

- Type of Mac: MBP Retina w/ Touch Bar
- macOS version: Mojava
- BetterTouchTool version: 3.02

**Additional information (e.g. StackTraces, related issues, screenshots, workarounds, etc.):**

You need to enter the absolute path to the utlity (get it via macOS terminal "which displayplacer" )
