I am using Macro Express 5

Parallels on iMac 2019

MacOS Monterey

Windows 10

The program I am trying to use with Macro Express with is Lightroom Classic V12.1

What I have discovered so far.

I create macros by starting with "capture macro".

I must use "Begin capture in window "Last Active Window"" otherwise I never see the next screen "Start Capture". 

Capture process goes fine.

Here is the big deal, and the thing that was really causing me problems. I was using an alt/option key combination to activate the macro (specifically alt-3) . If I did that, I had to hold the activation key (alt-3) down for at least 1/2 to 3/4 of a second for the macro to activate.  If I pressed and released quickly, all I heard was a beep.  No macro activity occurred.

Lesson learned. Don't use alt/option combination to activate a macro, at least when running on Lightroom Classic.

For what it's worth, I now use ; (semicolon) as my macro activation key, in Lightroom, in the develop module.

Hope this info helps somebody. 

I am also trying to get Macro Express to work on a Mac using Parallels.

I am not having any success.  Does anybody have any advice besides buying a PC?

Thanks !
