I use KM on multiple computers (Macs) sharing macros stored on Dropbox.com.
For one macro, I would like to limit its use to only one of the computers. In other words, to specify a particular computer, then execute a macro.
I don't see that described anywhere. Is that possible?

In the settings of a macro group you find a Disabled on this Mac checkbox. So, you could put that macro into a special group, and disable the group on every Mac but one.
For example this group is only enabled on my main computer, not on the others:

Not sure if with “sharing stored macros” you mean that you store macro files on Dropbox and then import them on different Macs, or if you mean the built-in Sync of KM.
In case you have missed the latter, you can activate the Sync in KM’s preferences:
Quite easy!
I use a startup macro that sets a variable to my host.
"Execute text script"
Script is "hostname"
save to variable
And test it when you need to for any macros
Wow, thanks! Two great replies, I will try them out.
I meant sync-ing macros, thanks for the clarification.
Great user group!

I hope you don't mind that I have revised your topic title to better reflect the question you have asked.

Specify computer?
TO:
How Do I Limit Macro to One Mac?
This will greatly help you attract more experienced users to help solve your problem, and will help future readers find your question, and the solution.
Excellent, no problem. BTW, these solutions both worked perfectly.
