I often use the Show Palette of Macros action (thank you @gglick and @JMichaelTX) and cannot explain why it sometimes requires me to choose activated and sometimes enabled settings .
Despite the fact that all macros in the Bear macro group are 1- always activated 2- all enabled,
the show palette of macros only works if I choose enabled macros
To make things even stranger, the macro containing the Show Palette of Macros is simply a duplicate of many others configured with the active macros, and the macro group setting is identical. I could not figure out why the palette of macros was not displayed, and as a last resort tried changing the setting to enabled and it worked.
Note that because of the conflict palette problem, the macros in the Common Operations - Bear group do not have triggers. I use the default first letter of the macro names as triggers
@peternlewis If I am not making a straightforward error, could this be related to the conflict palette issue ?
I will review everything, once again. I am adding a snapshot of one of the macro. There basically must be something wrong in one of my snapshots because I cover all angles, but I can't figure out what it is
and it works for me for 95% of Show Palette of Macros. In some cases, as in the Bear case, which are configured identically (started with duplicates) only enabled works which is the mystery I was writing about. thanks for your reply
Do you perhaps have some other action that is showing or activating the macro group for one action (which would then leave it inactive), or deactivating the macro group.
is there any clue to the fact that a macro group is active or not ? I can only see enabled in the context menu.
thank you for taking the time to comment
