In short: Poser 13.3.686 keeps resetting my custom shortcuts. Is this a known bug or just me?

- I changed the shortcut to the Dolly Camera. This works.

- I changed the shortcut to the LHand and RHand cameras. These reset after Poser is relaunched.

- I cleared the "memorize object/figure/lights/camera/all" shortcuts. These reset to the default shortcuts after Poser is relaunched.

The actual situation is even a bit weirder:

- I set my shortcuts and they work.

- I shut down and relaunch Poser: My custom shortcuts are gone.

- I shut down and relaunch Poser again: The default shortcuts are back.

My Windows 10 install is working with a German keyboard layout.

In %Appdata%\Roaming, I oddly have two Poser subfolders, "13" and "13_2024_03_13 10_45_57 PM". Both contain a "Accelerators.xml" file.

I tried the following:

- Checked for conflicts.

- Rename the "Accelerators.xml" files to reset my customizations. I then changed my keyboard shortcuts again. The same problem persists.

(I should possibly mention that Poser also resets shortcuts pointing to German-language-specifics keys, such as Ctrl+Ö or Ctrl+Ä.)

I am considering the following workarounds:

- Set my custom accelerators and set the read-only attribute for "Accelerators.xml" to prevent Poser 13 from resetting them.

- Go back to the old ways and edit the "Poser.xrc" file in the \Runtime\ui\ subfolder of the Poser installation directory.

Could anybody perhaps suggest a less brutal way to solve my problem?
