Basically what I want to do is to tell keyboard maestro to pause until certain menu condition, but I don't know how to use it correctly yet, for example with the app Cubase has a the menu "File/Save As/Template", so what I want is that keyboard maestro pause until this menu "File/Save As/Template" is enable and then select it.
Another example is with Quicktime player, when I open a video and I want to convert it to another resolution, sometimes the menu "File/Export As/480..." is not aways enable, this depends on how heavy the video is, so I would like to tell keyborad maestro to pause until is enable and then use it.
Thank you very much and I appreciate any help. I dont know if the examples are clear, anyway! thanks!
Note that you can get the exact menu title / submenu / menu items by clicking on the “Menu” dropdown in the “Select” step (step #2 in my example) and then “drill down” as shown here:
I used Pause Until Conditions are Met for a transcription processing macro. It waits for Start Dictation to become available in the menu, so it will remain paused until it becomes active when the cursor's in a text field. This is thankfully the perfect trigger to use to paste the output of my transcription software, superwhisper. (which represents, btw, a modern program w/elite accuracy - all from a solo dev, and enhanced by a fan-made KM macro suite).
Was worth wrangling with this a few minutes to avoid setting a Pause with a huge safety margin (otherwise I might've had to learn some error handling!)
