Subject: macro set in plugin folder, possible?

[Bruno Jesus-6]

Hi all,

I wrote a macro that is actually a macro set (i.e. 3 macros in
sequence). It has to be written as a macro set because I have some
global variables that have to pass between the individual macros, and
if necessary be changed by the middle macro.

I've been able to install and run them properly by replacing the
StartUpMacros.txt with my own version, i.e. the 3 macro show up in the
macro section. However, I would like to place them in a more obvious
and dedicated menu. I've tried putting the macro inside a folder in
the plugin directory but only the first macro in the macro set is
shown. Any idea how can I solve this issue?

Help will be much appreciated,
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

For macros in the plugin folder (or subfolders) to be displayed in the
menu, their name has to contain an underscore (_). Did you check the
file names of your macros?

(Run "Help>Update Menus" if you just placed the files in the plugin folder)

hth,
jan
