yes i already have another file open [macex.mex] but it doesn't help. and i've already tried closing the file in the categories list. this was not a problem in my older version 4.5.0.1. it is a new problem since upgrading to 4.9.0.1.

I just upgraded from Macro Express Pro 4.5.0.1 to 4.9.0.1. And I now noticed that "samples.mex" is always showing up in my categories every time Macro Express Pro restarts. I've tried preventing this by closing the file, and also deleting the file, but it doesn't help. It keeps showing up again in my categories every time Macro Express Pro restarts. I'm quite annoyed because I don't use "samples.mex" so I don't want it as an extra item in my categories. How can I prevent "samples.mex" from always showing up in my categories?

yes, i also submitted this feature request

Please add an option to play a sound when a running macro is aborted by hotkey. Also do the same for when paused by hotkey.

How about add the ability to set scope based on "window class"? Such as in this screenshot example from the StrokeIt mouse gesture program. This is more useful in some situations. It is also necessary for some processes that don't have a window title. Additionally, an .exe can have different window classes, so using window class can provide greater specificity.

Please add a command to "suspend monitor" [aka sleep / standby].

There is a bug for "Wait for Window Title" in which the checkbox for "The title contains wildcards" doesn't automatically gray out after choosing "Exact Match" from the drop down. To reproduce the bug... - Use the "Wait for Window Title" command. - Click the "Browse" button to "Select Window". - Select a window then choose "Exact Match" from the drop down. In this case, the checkbox for "The title contains wildcards" will properly automatically gray out. - But now click "OK" to return to the previous window. And you will notice the checkbox is no longer grayed out. Unless you manually toggle "Exact Match" again from the drop down.

any workarounds? still want a fix...

Please add support for game controllers as macro buttons [joysticks / gamepads]. This has many productivity benefits. For example, I would love to use the "Thrustmaster T-16000M" ambidextrous joystick for macros in my left hand, while my right hand is using a mouse. A setup like this frees up the keyboard for other things, while providing dedicated quick-access macro buttons. http://www.amazon.com/Hercules-2960706-Thrustmaster-T-16000M-Flight/dp/B001S0RTU0

I also officially submit all my feature requests and bug reports.

updated request to also include tilt wheel

bug still happens...

thanks for the tips. it would still be great if macro express can add the function, so our macros can have less steps and be more efficient.

For "Mouse Move to Tray Icon", please add ability to move mouse to the "Show hidden icons" tray button for Windows 7 and up [see screenshot].

i've reworded the description of this bug in the original post. still hoping for a fix...

Yeah, same symptom. NOTE: Explorer properties bar = the info pane at the bottom of the macros list.

BUG: When "&" is used in macro nickname, the Explorer properties bar doesn't show in the "&" when displaying the nickname. MEP 4.5.0.1

yes i also submit them officially, but i post here in case of any user feedback

Please add option to "autosize columns" for MEP Explorer. So that we don't have to manually resize to see all info in each column. NOTE: I know we can double click on each column name separator to resize, but that is still inconvenient.

Please make "import / export program configuration" save Script Editor's toolbar layout, too. Currently, this is not saved into the .wcfg file. This is mainly noticeable when importing settings after a fresh install. NOTE: The default layout for this toolbar is messy, so being able to save our custom layout into the .wcfg file would be useful. I would prefer it to be always organized into a single row, like in this screenshot...

BUG: For "activate when the keys are released", please make it also wait for standard keys, too. Example problem... I make a macro that's activated by CTRL+A. The macro types: awesome. When I release CTRL before I release A, the macro starts running even though I still have A held down. Also, it doesn't type the "a" in "awesome" because I have that key held down.

the download page still shows old version 4.4.1.1

Please add hotkey activation: "application key". So we can use it to trigger macros. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menu_key

Please add logic "if uptime". This is useful for making a macro that doesn't run unless a certain amount of system uptime has elapsed.
