  • Fixed the "Navigate Desktops (Delete)" action in the Windows Desktop plugin. 
  • Fixed the issue where clipboard operations failed occasionally in the Windows Desktop plugin actions. 

Marketplace

Known Issues

General  

  • Adding text to a GIF Icon is restricted in some of the custom action types. 
  • macOS: In cases where two versions of a supported application are installed, the non-active version may start when Loupedeck uses press actions.   
  • In some circumstances Loupedeck+ may not wake up after (OS) sleep mode    
  • Live2D and LibreOffice apps with custom profiles are not recognized by Loupedeck. 
  • Occasionally, Loupedeck Live devices remain active while locked screens are locked (Win OS)

  • Dynamic page: “Clip Launch Mode” scales incorrectly on Live S – console.
