I just ran across this from a YT video and it is exciting to see such innovation being sparked by expert KM users. I installed it and it seems to be working great. However, every time I activate the KMFAM it puts the search window in the lower left corner of my screen, even if I move it, it does not remember the last place I put it. Is there a way to fix this?
On a serious note... it looks like the version 1.3 variables were deleted upon install... but I'm not really certain. Does the macro installer delete all global variables that are no longer needed or do we need to delete them manually? As of right now the only kmfam variables I can see are the following:
I thought that was funny too. I'll put something together to let you get the icons back, if you want them.
It was supposed to delete them all. but I was bound to miss some. Go ahead and delete them yourself. I updated the installer so the next people who download it will get those 2 variables deleted also.
Here's the list of variables I'm now deleting, just in case you care:
Hey @DanThomas - thanks for the update which installed smoothly. I'm still using KMFAM in preference to the now native Favourites.
There's just one "improvement" I would like to see and it's to do with the dialogs that are shown. I see that in the [KMFAM] Select macro there's a note:
"This window does not save its position on the screen. However, there's a disabled purple action below named "Specify the Window Position". You can use this to specify X,Y coordinates of the window, if you want. Don't forget to enable it if you want to use it."
Following those instructions ensures the Select dialog open in my secondary display but such a thing doesn't seem to appear or apply to the other macros that show a dialog.
I run KM from my secondary display, so to have these dialogs open on my primary display is frustrating.
Is there something I've missed or that you can do?
You know, it's funny. I thought to myself "I should put this in the other dialogs". Then I thought "Who would ever need that?" Now I know.
If you're using KM10, you can use "Set Next Engine Window Position". It works - I just tested it.
So either put one at the start of whichever macros you want to affect, or if you want to affect them all at once, put it at the start (or end) of "[kmfam]~Verify Paths (Sub-Macro)" because that gets called by all the macros.
The problem is, I was an idiot. Normally in situations like that, I would have gone ahead and added it to the others. It wasn't much work. I think I had just been working on this too long, and wanted it to be over.
They shouldn't be gone. When you run the macro, it should ask you where the resources are. If not, set the variable "DND__kmfamResourcesFolderPath" to the full path of the resources folder.
