Question about palettes and the order of macros in a folder

Questions & Suggestions

Hi!

  1. Can I manually sort the order of macros in a folder? It doesn’t seem to be possible?
  2. In a palette, I want to create a separator between a few things. I read somewhere that typing a number and a parenthesis like “5)” will sort it correctly but the number not shown in the palette, but that is not working for me. Thanks!

If you name your macros staring with a number and close parenthesis then they will show up the palette in that order… blank lines included eg

1)First Macro

2)Second Macro

  1. {a blank line here but this editor doesn’t like blank lines}

4)Third macro

Thanks! But I’m seeing the “1)” and “2)” in the palette …. ?

Thanks smooch, that worked!

Now my nexts question, what can I type that will make the macro name look like a separator in a palette? I have “———–" but that simply doesn’t show up.

I use something like this

also making the macro icon blank using the ‘no icon’

from the internal icon chooser helps to ‘break up’ the palette list for separators.
