##Macro Library Names

I just wanted to share my naming of Dan's macros, for those that might be interested. Each of us have our own style and preference, and this reflects mine.

My Names:

[KM] Macro Repository UPDATE @MRU
[KM] Macro Repository IMPORT @MRI

Dan's Names:

[KM] Macro Repository Updater
[KM] Macro Repository JSON Paster

There is nothing wrong with Dan's names. In fact, we often agree on, and use, the same naming conventions.

In this case, I wanted to:

  • Make the names easier to recognize
  • Prefer "Import" over "JSON Paster" (JSON is just a technical detail)
  • Append the "@MRU" and "@MRI" to make it very easy to find both, and select one, when using Dan's great MACRO: Execute Macro by Name (Spotlight)

So these are just my prefs. Find a style and naming convention that works for you, and use it consistently. It will make your use of KM much easier.

As they say, "A rose by any name . . ." :smile:
