Here’s a video of work in progress. It shows Code Folding and Bookmarks working in the new macro editor of Macro Scheduler v11 which we are currently working on.

Note this is work in progress and the video shows an early development version. All the usual caveats apply – appearances may differ to the final release. Planned release date? Probably January.

    This will really help me. I have lenghty code and a bad memory because of epilepsy, medication and an electrcal shock. I don’t code often any more, but when I do it’s nice to have Macro Scheduler there to count on.
    Speaking of my memory, could you have named bookmarks or
    have the bookmarks show the code at their locations?

    Very cool!

    Just saw this demo for the first time.
    1. Using Firefox 2.0.0.17 with many AddOns, demo would not run. Used my IE TAB AddOn to switch to MSIE mode, and demo ran fine. Is something missing in my Firefox? Is fully loaded with all types of video plugins.

    2. Question about the bookmarks….could you make it possible to provide bookmark names vs. auto numbering, could keep the numbers as a default. I wonder about will they be numbered in sequence of being assigned or numbered in order of line number sequence? If new bookmark is added in line between #1 and #2, will that be #3 or will it become #2 and previous #2 now becomes #3? Would rather be able to assign a name/label. Then I could use names like “Email Section”, “OpenWeb third time”, “Errors for strings”, etc. Last used name could come up as default with a number suffix, but could still be modified.

    Really like the code folding and bookmarks.
    Did not see anything about maybe having RTF in dialogs …. that would be a big enhancement. Keep up the great work.

  5. 1. The demo just uses Flash. Firefox is also my browser of choice and the demos run just fine for me.

    2. The demo you saw shows something that is little more than a prototype and the end result will be quite different. We already have named bookmarks. When you create a bookmark you enter some text. They appear in the order you created them. The bookmark menu shows the text you entered for each bookmark. So you find them by name.

    Re RTF – depends what you mean. You can already set the font name, font style and font colour of any dialog object. That has been possible since v10.
