New Computer macOS Sierra Install BUG FIX
HeyItsRay opened this issue · comments
So I Just got a new computer and decided not to migrate my information from my old computer and just do a clean start which means I would need to reinstall VSCO keys.
Problem 1: Keys didn't work after running the install and kept getting a popup saying keys needed permission or something to that nature.
Fix: Go to System Preferences then Security & Privacy, then Accessibility and click the + to add VSCOkeys manually. It will be located in the Applications folder!
Problem 2: Couldn't get my old Layout the I had created when VSCO still supported keys or the current Simple or Standard Keys layouts after I had tried to load my old layout.
Fix: Went to VSCOkeys in my application folder and clicked the uninstall and did a fresh install of the program THEN! Keys for some reason was not creating an Application support folder so I created it manually by going to Finder tab go and holding down option so that you can see the hidden admin "Library" folder. From there choose Application Support and add a folder called VSCOKeys inside that folder put your old .vkeys file that can be found in the same location on your old machine if you're upgrading to a new machine. If you prefer to use VSCOSimple.vkeys or VSCOStandard.vkeys add those to the folder instead. After that I restarted my machine and my old keys was now showing up as an option when I clicked the K in the top menu bar. I selected it hit esc and everything is working again!
One final note I did have to move over my old presets from Library/Application Support/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets because several of my custom keys used my presets. Load those again like you would any Preset Sets!
Hope this save everyone some time since the options are getting thin for lightroom key shortcuts and support for Pfixer is terrible and the software is slow. So bummed VSCO stopped supporting this but happy it's working again! Saves me tons of time in lightroom!
Note this was for lightroom 6 running macOS Sierra. Keys has stopped again with Lightroom Classic CC (lightroom 7)
