Saving macro sometimes uses existing filename

Post by jumpfroggy »

If I record and save a macro, sometimes it defaults to a used filename in the filename box. Then when I try to save it asks to overwrite. So I change the filename and save. But the next time, it just asks for the next number, and tries to overwrite that.

Example:
Save Macro, filename is "macro40.tpm" (But macro40.tpm exists, save as macro40-2.tpm)
Next, save another macro... now it's "macro41.tpm", but that also exists.

This continues until you don't have existing files in that number range. Instead of just incrementing this counter, textpad should make sure the suggestion for saving a new macro is not already used, and if it is then increment to the next one. (ie. if macro40 through macro50 are used, then suggest macro51).

It's a small inconvenience, but happens often when I create a lot of new macros.
