An important reminder for sure. Especially since a lot of new users make heavy use of Found Image actions that can really bog down the CPU.

Funny, I went to find this topic to link here:

Why Embedding Images Directly Into a Found Image's Action Is a Bad Idea

Howdy folks, I'm writing this to explain why it is better to use file paths to reference images in any found image action instead of embedding the image directly in the action's image well (usually done by clicking and dragging the image into the square box). Your entire macro library is stored in a single plist file in Keyboard Maestro's Application Support directory. It is usually only a couple of MB in size (unless you're like me and have over 1,000 macros). Any change you make to any macro …

And uh, you wrote it I've converted all of my find images to file references because of that tip, so thanks again!
