Can I determine a Macro UUID from an Action UID?

[_jims]

@ComplexPoint

Perhaps worth trying something like this:

for $x in //key["ActionUID"=text()]/following-sibling::real["21421"=text()]

return $x/ancestor-or-self::dict/key["Triggers"=text()]/
    following-sibling::key["UID"=text()]/following-sibling::string

@ComplexPoint, thanks so much. Yes, that combination worked quite nicely to return the macro UUID. Of course I had to remove the hard-coded "21421".

For the sake of someone that might find this thread later, here's the revised macro per @ComplexPoint's instructions:

Macro-Notes

• Macros are always disabled when imported into the Keyboard Maestro Editor.
  • The user must ensure the macro is enabled.
  • The user must also ensure the macro's parent macro-group is enabled.

Now I'm studying the code in an attempt to understand it!
