Multiple Macros at once?

[joking124]

Is there anyway to have multiple macros running at the same time?

 

I have a macro that I would like to run basically in the background that monitors for a file which it it then picks up and processes. While that macro is running, I'll like to be able to trigger another macro but I can't seem to find a way to do it.

 

As a workaround, is there anyway to have a macro check for the last key typed or something? If so, I could put in a block that checked that and then fired a run macro command within the other macro as necessary but I couldn’t figure out anyway to do this…

 

Thanks for the help in advance!

Macro Express 3 will only run one macro at a time. You might consider creating a scheduled macro that runs periodically to check to see if the file exists and process it. You could then run other macros in between.

Along the same lines, let's say that Macro A's properties say to activate it when Window A appears. If Macro B is already running when Window A appears, Macro A will run as soon a B ends (with caching). It would be handy if hot keys were likewise cached, so if I enter the hot key combination for Macro C while B is already running, then C would run as soon as B ends.
