Engine log - how do I find Action number # in my list of actions?

I’m new to Keyboard Maestro, just a couple of days. Liking it so far.

I am getting an error about not fidning an image and I am looking at the engine.log file to find out which action in my macro is causing it.

It gives me a number 4563 and I put this in the search bar in KM but no action show up.

How do I find out what action is causing the image issue?

Welcome to the forum, @Ian-SAfc.

The easiest way is to use the menu command View > Go to Last Aborted Action.

I believe that In theory, you should also be able to find the relevant action by selecting all macro groups and then entering Action: , followed by the action’s number, in the Search field in the top right of the KM Editor’s window (⌘-F). I say “in theory” because I’ve yet to get that to work! :rofl: Perhaps someone could kindly correct me if I’ve got the theory wrong. I’ve certainly got some aspect wrong…

A quick search of the forum reminds me that one can use Applescript to go to actions based on their ID and that this discussion includes links to a couple of potentially very helpful macros that I meant to try out!

As @kevinb says, prefix the UID with action: or act: -- do not have a space between the : and your first number:

Remember that only the selected Group is searched -- in the screenshot you can see that the "All Macro" Smart Group is selected so that all macros are considered.
