Synch Folder with Editor Group Macro list

Post by mightycpa » Wed Mar 17, 2021 4:46 pm

When I create a new group, I generally associate that group with a particular folder. I may create scripts to populate the group, or I might import scripts. Over time, the two things may get out of synch, like if I use Windows or even MS to rename a script. Years ago, I tried to synchronize by importing, but that made things even worse. As I recall, the editor showed two scripts.

So, if there is a way, can you point me to an instruction? And if not, can that be added to a future release? Thanks

Just make it a linked group:

A linked group syncs - any scripts you add to that folder outside of Macro Scheduler will show up in Macro Scheduler.
