Delete All Variables Except…

Macro Library

Hey Tom,

The current form of that AppleScript is not very different than the one you mention, and it runs in a bit less than 8 seconds with your ~1600 variable data set if the Keyboard Maestro preferences window is closed.

(If the prefs window is open it takes right at 8 seconds.)

This is on my venerable Mid-2010 MacBook Pro.
