Add logic commands: "if macro running" and "if macro not running" ?

[TsunamiZ]

May I suggest to add logic commands: "if macro running" and "if macro not running". These can allow macros to work better together, because they allow us to make macros behave differently when another specified macro is running [to prevent conflicts, add enhancements, etc].

Hi you could achieve this by creating/updating an environment variable which is readable by other macros, for instance, MacroAisRunning=YES. The relevant commands are:

 

Variable Modify String -> Save to Environment Variable

 

Variable Set String -> Set from an Environment Variable

 

For example if you have Macro A and Macro B, you can get Macro A to set MacroAisRunning=YES right after it is launched. Macro B can read this environment variable to check if Macro A is running. Remember to set MacroAisRunning=NO before terminating Macro A.

 

You can also achieve this by saving macro statuses to INI files or text files, though this requires disk access.
