OS Compatibility
Workflower works on Windows and Mac.
Notice for Mac Users
Be aware that the Mac version has a few limitations compared to the Windows version:
- You can only set a maximum of 20 shortcuts. Also, if you choose to use the maximum number of shortcuts, you can't use shortcuts on any other script. Reduce the number of Workflower shortcuts to be able to set shortcuts on other scripts. On Windows, on the other hand, you can set as many shortcuts as you want and it won't compromise on the number of shortcuts you're able to set for other scripts.
- You cannot use certain character combinations in your layer names anymore. Read up here for more information.
- When pressing modifier keys on the Main Menu, no new icons will be revealed. (Executing the functions will work without a problem, though.)
Notice for Japanese Users on Windows
For most Japanese users on Windows, there are two limitations:
- ​Single Script shortcut mode (which allows for an unlimited amount of shortcuts) doesn't work when the OS language is Japanese. You will either have to switch the OS language to US or similar, or you will have to use Individual Scripts mode instead. So, as on Mac, you can only use a maximum of 20 shortcuts. Also, if you choose to use the maximum number of shortcuts, you can't use shortcuts on any other script. Reduce the number of Workflower shortcuts to be able to set shortcuts on other scripts.
- Setting custom shortcuts on Workflower's shortcuts panel doesn't work when the OS language is Japanese. Temporarily switch the OS language to US or similar to set custom shortcuts. Read up here for information on how to do it.
Unfortunately, these issues are caused by an AE bug. It has been reported to Adobe but as long as Adobe hasn't fixed this, you will have to rely on the solutions mentioned above.
If you encounter any issues relating to your OS language, please contact customer support! We try to fix every issue or at least figure out a workaround for the time being.
