Hey Alain,

I believe there is no method of going from macro NAME to macro UUID.

The only token I’m aware of is MacroNameForUUID, so you can go the other direction.

I believe your primary need is the UUID of macro and group, but I have only run a very few tests using macro plists.

Perhaps you should post some pseudocode to show what you’re trying to do.

Oh, you can parse the whole Keyboard Maestro macro list by getting it with AppleScript and then using KM’s regular expressions to search. (I would just stay in AppleScript and use the Satimage.osax myself.)

tell application "Keyboard Maestro Engine"
  set kmPlist to getmacros with asstring
end tell
