Hi,

Atm I’m switching form Glyphs 3 to Glyphs 4. I recently installed the _Free Mix Script_. Seems like everything is installed correct, but somehow _Insert Glyph to Background_ isn’t working. What could the problem be?

Any output in _Window \> Scripting Window?_

@TimAhrens will be interested in this topic.

I will be highly interested once I switch to Glyphs 4! 😉

Just finishing my current project, which I want to do in Glyphs 3, but I will start actively using Glyphs 4 soon.

@mekkablue Yes, thats the strange thing.. Other functions, for example _Adopt Background_, do work properly

Some scripts might be compatible already and some were fixed.
