Importing Kerning data from .metrics/.csv file

Glyphs

I don’t get it how to reimport a .metrics or .csv file with modified kerning info.
First I delete in the Kerning window all kerning data from one master. In Font view I select all glyphs. Then I choose Import > Metrics and select the new .metrics or .csv file – but nothing happens, the Kerning window rests empty.
What am I doing wrong?

I didn’t change anything related to the metrics import in the latest version. So 2.6 is fine (you need to activate “Show cutting edge versions” in Preferences > Update to get 2.6.1).

For some of the Metics import you need to select some glyphs before it works.

You can try the latest beta if you like. Go to Glyphs > Preferences > Updates, activate both checkboxes and press the Update button.

Thank you both. I will try and report here later.

After more tests, importing the kerning data worked fine except in one master. But there the error must lie somewhere in my modified Metrics file.
