Record New Macro On Top Of Existing

[aimy]

Hi all.

During the previous version of Textpad, I was able to record new macro based on the existing one.

But since version 7 is coming out, seems that I cant do that.

Let's say, I have a macro called A. Later I want to extend the macro to do text replacement over the output of macro A.

How I am gonna achieve that?

Thank you.

I have found that recording one Macro over another causes havoc with my Keyboard shortcut settings. As such, I don't do it. Instead I record a new version of the Macro.

Thanks for your response.

But I just want to extend the functionality of the existing Macro.

And that existing Macro is quite complicated that I could hardly remember the steps.

As you mentioned about the conflicting keyboard shortcut, Textpad should be able to avoid it right?

Thank you.

Recording a Macro is a one time deal. Once it's recorded, you cannot extend it.

While Recording a Macro, you can Pause the Recorder, but that's only during Macro creation.

Only thing I can suggest is creating a plain text file detailing the steps at the time you create it.
