XP-Pen shortcut remote not working properly

Photoshop Beta 27.8 and XP-Pen shortcut remote v4.0.9(a349adf)

 

The shortcut remote fails to import settings, and when keys are mapped manually the only keys that work are those that were part of the default config. (keys not yet mapped)

 

The remote works perfectly with the non beta version of PS 2026. I export the config settings from the PS 2026 and when I try and import the config to PS beta, the PS beta disappears from the remote shortcut settings. I also experienced multiple crashes of the XP-Pen settings app while trying to manually map the keys.

 

I’m attaching the shortcut config file in hopes it will help.
I had to change the extension on the file because the .pcfg file extension couldn’t be attached. It’s just an XML file but it has to be changed to .pcfg in order for XP-Pen to import it.

    I think I have at least solved the manually mapped keys.

    I didn’t have my custom actions imported yet, thus when trying to activate the action via shortcut remote, it for obvious reasons now, didn’t work.

    There’s still the issue of the importing of the config, but it could possibly work now that the actions are in place to support the mapped keys. I run the risk in having to remap it all if the importing fails.
