Hi Guys,
Can someone check if F8 brings up the new MultiRiff window on your PC, before I report it.
Not working for me.
Cheers smile

Thanks for checking.
I'm using it on a MAC via Parallels so that might be messing with the Function Keys in Windows.

Good to report it. Several Windows keys were apparently remapped.

Running Windows versions via Parallels, Bootcamp, or other similar setups can cause some unreproducible problems that are hard to troubleshoot. This isn't necessarily a Band-in-a-Box thing, but it's behaviour I've experienced using things like that before where shortcuts don't line up, do different things, or just don't work. So it's entirely possible this is due to running it via Parallels on your Mac machine. Parallels actually in specific put out a blog post about this particular issue where you can do some additional setup to get your virtual Windows setup hotkeys working the way you want them to. If you haven't done this, it may be worth checking out and trying!

Does PG have any sort of guidance to offer Mac/Parallels users? I realize it isn't your responsibility to QA your product on virtualized platforms, but I'm wondering if the sense is "effectively the same, apart from minor hardware-related differences like keyboard stuff" or "doesn't work reliably for anyone".

Great news. Please consider opening your original post and marking it 'Resolved' (there's a button for that), as this can assist others in the future.

The keyboard mapping has not been set properly.
Resolution
NOTE: If you are using a new MacBook Pro (Late 2016) with Touch Bar, use Fn key to display function keys on the Touch Bar while using Parallels virtual machine.
If you want function keys being displayed on Touch Bar by default, please refer to this article.
1. Make sure Parallels Tools are installed in your Virtual Machine. Install or reinstall Parallels Tools if necessary.
2. Open System Preferences on Mac ? Keyboard and enable the option: Use all F1, F2, etc. as standard function keys.
3. Open Parallels Desktop Preferences and go to Shortcuts tab ? OS X System Shortcuts. From Send OS X system shortcuts drop-down list chose Auto to pass shortcuts into the virtual machine only when it is in focus or Always to always pass shortcuts into the virtual vachine
