Keyboard Maestro 8.0.1 Crashing

[JMichaelTX]

@Jonathan_Sturtz

Sometimes, I might copy one macro and then this right alongside all of the other macros in a group. Sometimes, I might even post them after in a new group. When I do either these activities, as I recall, I double click on the macro name and then type or dictate a new macro name for the macro.

Isn't this the same issue you posted here?
Issue with macro names in 8.0.1

And @peternlewis identified the issue, and gave you the solution:

@peternlewis

I've looked at @Jonathan_Sturtz's macros, and as they were pre-8.0, and it appears they had the bogus names before 8.0, it is just that pre-8.0 was hiding everything after the first linefeed.

I have sent him a macro that can potentially correct the names.

Have you applied Peter's cleanup macro to all of your existing Macros?
That would be the first step.

@Jonathan_Sturtz

I am dictating using Dragon six. I do not always the macro name, but sometimes I do.

That would be my first suspect. Dragon may NOT be translating correctly and/or creating multiple lines in the Name. I recommend you quit using Dragon to enter Macro Names.

After you do all that, if you are still having the issue, then you will need to do this:

• Keep a detailed log of each material step you take with KM until you get another crash.
• Be sure you send every crash report to Peter, and be a detailed as possible on your activities just prior to the crash.
• Pay very close attention to the name you give every macro.
• Make sure you can remember the last macro you renamed before the crash.
• Be sure to check the KM Log files for relevant entries.
  In the KM Editor, goto menu Help > Open Log Folder

@Jonathan_Sturtz

The software just crashed again. I was changing the name of a macro to include 2.

Sorry you're still having trouble. Thanks for the update, and please keep a good manual log. FWIW, since you reported this issue, I have tried numerous times to rename a Macro, and have not had any issues.
