Trying to setup some macros using menu commands from Cubase. I add a menu command and choose “select menu command” MGP goes to the “Refreshing the Menu Command List” screen, but exits with no Menu Commands in the list. I’ve tried on 2 different iPads using 1.6.16 and my server is v5.3.4. Any suggestions? ---

That means that you don’t have permissions for Apple Script support set for MetaServer on our Mac. Can you please send me this screenshot from your setup? ![Screenshot 2026-01-13 at 12.40.09](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/metagrid/original/1X/e731e471c6fd443d23e87287dcf9ae834a52234c.jpeg) ---

It looks like it’s set correctly on my system? ![Screenshot 2026-01-14 at 11.44.06 AM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex009/uploads/metagrid/original/1X/9ac872070aa02caf2799d89c64e3ad188f6ad96e.png) ---

OK, that’s the correct way. Now we need the following info: - do menu commands are correctly refreshed for other applications? - are you in Cubase profile or using Desktop? ---

Ok, so I discovered it’s only NOT working when I’m trying to edit my Omnispace. If I export that grid to a normal cubase workspace, edit it, and re-import it into my Omnispace, it remembers the menu commands and works fine. But I still cannot edit menu commands in the Omnispace. Easy workaround for now. But possibly a bug a to look into? Or maybe the properties of the Omnispace make it incapable of reading the menu commands? Thanks! ---

You are right - currently you can’t refresh the menu commands in OmniSpace - the current workaround is to create a button in the profile for your selected application and then copy/paste it to the OmniSpace grid. We are thinking how to streamline this - but since OmniSpace can trigger various applications and the menu command system is based on the name of the application that is in focus on the computer - we would need to implement some extensive rework. Added this as FR though. thanks for the input!
