Known Issues
- Creator Alpha versions 4.0.14 and earlier may not detect available updates
- Workaround:
- Quit Monogram Creator
- Delete the "Monogram Creator Internal" folder found inside /Applications/ (macOS) or %ProgramFiles(X86)% (Windows)
- Download the latest Creator Alpha installer from this link
- Automatic updates will work again following a successful install of Creator Alpha 4.0.19 or later.
- Workaround:
- Profile support is incomplete:
- Creator Alpha does not yet support Quick Start profiles.
- This will be added in a subsequent release.
- Creator profiles are not yet interoperable with PaletteApp profiles.
- First and foremost: Your Palette profiles will not be deleted or overwritten by Creator.
- Creator and PaletteApp profiles are kept in separate directories for safety.
- Profile migration from PaletteApp is in development as of Alpha 4.0.12. Expect this in a forthcoming update.
- TL;DR: Please create new profiles in Creator Alpha for testing.
- Creator Alpha does not yet support Quick Start profiles.
- Some app migrations are incomplete, including:
- Final Cut Pro X
- Photo Mechanic
- Capture One for Windows
- Character Animator
- FL Studio
- These apps may still be used via MIDI and keyboard shortcut assignment, and profiles will become available closer to the stable launch.
- Unsure how to use keyboard shortcut or MIDI assignments? Please email support@monogramcc.com for help.
- macOS Menu Bar behavior:
- When Preferences > Close to Menu Bar is enabled and a Creator icon is pinned to the macOS dock, Creator's menu bar may not respond after selecting the dock icon.
- Workarounds:
- Switch back and forth from another window quickly, this will make the Creator menu accessible immediately.
- Open Creator from the menu bar icon (upper right) rather than from the dock icon.
