There is still an option to display the full path in the title bar. F4 will focus the address control and you could do Ctrl+A then clipboard copy. I'm guessing one could use a Macro Control commands also. But it might give the 'pretty' display text of the address control. You could also use the Copy Path command and drop the name of the file or folder selected. You could also fire off the Properties dialog and use the "Location" control.

This is what I do.

I didn't say it made sense from a user perspective. I'm just speculating as to how it's that way and further suggesting that it's not really a bug, buty maybe an opportunity for improvement for the use experience. Random mode on an audio playback device isn't random at all. Probably why they started calling it "shuffle". When they started making MP3 players, they offered a random mode and it was truly random. But in the days of limited memory there was often few songs and sometimes a song would repeat. People complained that random mod was broken, but it wasn't. Sometimes when you roll the dice, you get a 6 twice in a row. THey then created a quasi-random mode that was random without repeat. Which isn't random. It wasn't intended to be that way, but technically it was what the consumers wanted. However the consumers didn't understand that what they wanted wasn't random. Anyway, it's just the way it worked out. There was a good reason why songs would repeat sometimes. I'm guessing someone at some point said "I want a modified date" and they implemented it. But the person who requested it didn't realize that the path is part of the macro data and changing it would change the modified date. It probably never crossed their minds back then. I.E. I dont' think it's a bug. There's nothing broken.

I'm guessing it's by design. I.E. one modifies the macro to change the location and thus the modification date is changed. These aren't files in folders, they're entities in the data file. I'm guessing nothing is moved in the data structure, but a line in the macro data indicates where it is in the hierarchy. You change that line in the macro and the macro has changed. Not to say this couldn't be done differently, but I this is just my guess of how it works and why it acts differently than a file system.

Many people don't realize you can comment in a command or add a line as a comment. It's in the list with the rest of the commands on the left. Macro Control > Comment.

VM, Remote Desktop sessions and the like all shut down the GUI interface when not displayed. It simply will not work. Not for web pages or anything. Non GUI interacting macros will run fine. I used to use VNC which connects to the console of a desktop computer. I don't know if it will work with a VM.

No. I like to separate too, so this was also a problem for me. I use a remark/comment. Technically not a blank line, but it works well.

Also MEP can't automate UWP apps.

You're welcome.

Variable Set Integer has a user input option.

That was my suggestion to use VBA.

Could you type a space first then the numbers? Then a ShortKey macro I think would work. Have the macro delete the space after. My suggestion seems a little sloppy thought.

You're welcome.

Good man.

You can do this using MEP's file and folder commands. Iteratively search down though all folders. Why don't you just search from the command prompt using the Directory command? It's super simple. from the root of the drive E.G."C:\" type "dir myfile.doc /s". The "s" switch searches subdirectories. Run it as an administrator in order to see files in sensitive areas. You can direct the output to a file if you like also. You could also use the External Script facility in MEP.

Why don't you use a popup menu in MEP? And instead of clicking that link in your bookmarks bar, have that button take you to that URI and fill out the page? There are also automation extensions for all the popular browsers. You might be able to have one of them sense the URI and launch your macro. Though if you're going that route, you may as well have that automation tool fill out the form for you.

The problem is that one can't see the color because the line has the cursor. The selected line has the normal highlight which makes the background invisible. Closing and opening like Acantor suggests has the effect of having no line selected. But once you select that line, one can't unselect it. I.E. after clicking anywhere in the main window, there always need to be at least one selected.

I suggest Controls commands. He's not interested in doing it the easy way.

I did. I saw no mention of using the registry.

You're welcome

I don't know if this got answered, but can't you save the window title and/or date n the registry and use that as a condition to bail out of the macro if it activates? Like if "Notepad" opens and there's an entry for Notepad and it's date is 5 seconds ago, exit. Then set the condition to be whatever time limit you want. Sorry, I didn't read every message in this thread.

Are you still working on this?

I use controls commands in MEP. The Wait For Control is also valuable. Then one an get the text form the message box using that same control if necessary.

There was a tutorial in the sample file or in the support section on the website which used the Windows Calculator. That's how I learned.

Remove the asterisk.
