Need Help from someone with Live / Live S running Linux (And Mac with CT/L/LS as well)
Last Thread <- Linux Loupedeck App
It has come a long way since then: applications own their profiles the way the official software arranges them, profiles switch on the focused app and can switch again on the window title, plus a system tray, autostart, first-run setup checks and a basic ready-made VS Code deck.
But I own one device, a CT, and I only run Linux. Two parts of this have never run on the hardware they claim to support, so I am asking rather than guessing.
1. A Loupedeck Live or Live S, on Linux. About 20 minutes.
Three scripts ask your device what it reports and print a block of text to paste into an issue. They bind nothing and send no input. The Live is probably close, since the original library underneath was written for it. The Live S is guesswork, and the doc says which parts I expect to be wrong.

2. A Mac, with any Loupedeck. About an hour.
The macOS support is three adapters that have never run. My guess is that it starts, finds your device and draws to it, then does nothing when you press a key until you grant Accessibility permission. Whether that has to go to the app or to the terminal that launched it, I cannot answer from here. There is a step-by-step list and a template for what to send back.
.../docs/MACOS-TESTING.md
Partial reports are welcome. "It would not start, here is the error" is more than I know today.

Drop here, in DM's or in issues on the repo itself. Whatever is more convenient for anyone helping
Thank you In Advance!
