Thanks! I edited the original post to also include the Macro.

Thanks. Now I can try it.

For those "floating" Apple Notes...

Apple has changed the Notes menus in Ventura. I have shared two macros that accommodate this change.

  1. Float Specified Apple Notes

  2. New Apple Note

Both macros include a header comment stating the following:

Modified to accommodate macOS Ventura (v13.x). In this version the Notes app menu item Window>Float Selected Note was changed to Window>Open Note in New Window.

These Macros have been working wonderfully all this time. However I decided to give macOS Tahoe beta a try...... (yeah I know)....
I get this error and the 'float' fails:

Any ideas at all? If more information is needed then please advise what I need to provide.

The full error from the log reads as:

2025-07-27 11:19:53 Action 13070812 failed: Manipulate Window could not find any matching windows
2025-07-27 11:19:53 Manipulate Window could not find any matching windows in macro ā€œFloat Specified Apple Notes DMBā€ (while executing Bring Window Named ā€œNotesā€ to Front).
2025-07-27 11:20:09 Execute macro ā€œFloat Specified Apple Notes DMBā€ from trigger Editor

The macro itself I run is as attached, I run it directly and not via any other macro. It used to run perfectly under macOS Sequoia but not Tahoe. And beta os I know :slight_smile:
