I'll be back with Yosemite results.

Thanks. That’s interesting.

Looking forward to the Yosemite results.

If you're having fun with this, carry on. :smile:

Otherwise, I don't think it's worth the effort just to suppress the KM error msg when using JXA with Yosemite. As you know, just uncheck "Include Errors", and display any real error msg from JXA. Just my lazy opinion. :wink:

24

Yep, I totally agree. I thought this was “just going to work”. So, “never mind”.

Thank you SO much for helping. Something good is coming very soon.

25

Isn't that a quote from some book/movie/video/soundtrack?
It sounds very familiar.

26

Well, there’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes”…

27

Hey Dan,

Were you talking about this?

28

Chris - Thanks.

29

Thanks! @JMichaelTX @DanThomas
Another great macro that I can't live without. Really should hang out here in the forum often :wink:

Hey @troy,

That critter is old and obsolete. Try this.

I replaced what I thought I should replace in the old macro,
Obviously I did it wrong,
A little help?
It does work if in the KM app.
But I use it in Filemaker to highlight the UUID and have it take me to KM and show me the Macro and group, that part is not working.
ie. if I'm using Open URL in FMPro, and the string is
"kmtrigger://macro=8A22B7D4-6196-4024-9A5C-A19EEA5E2CB0&value=Whatever"
I used to be able to copy 8A22B7D4-6196-4024-9A5C-A19EEA5E2CB0 then run the macro and it would take me to the macro/group in KM
=)
thanx man

I missed the fact that the macro would work with a bare UUID string.

My first script works with the selected macro in the Keyboard Maestro Editor.

This one will work with a UUID in the clipboard.

set theUUID to the clipboard as text

tell application "Keyboard Maestro"
   activate
   editMacro theUUID
end tell

I'm not particularly interested in fooling with @JMichaelTX's macro.

Beautiful! Thank you so much, I use it a couple times a day!

You're welcome.

Here's a variant that will search the clipboard text for a UUID and use that to open the macro in the Keyboard Maestro Editor.

It uses the Keyboard Maestro Engine's search/replace function for same.

Using this you can be sloppy with what you copy to the clipboard.

Extra awesome CHRIS! Your brain/ears must’ve been burning because when I got the previous version and was using it I thought, “wouldn’t it be great if you could filter out a UUID within a longer text string”. And here you are!
Most excellent.

37

I thought about doing that yesterday, but I was too tired.
