In Macro Scheduler 12 I created a "New Group". The "Macro Path" of this group is a path to a network directory (e.g. \\server\dir1\dir2\macros). I selected "Create Linked Group" for this group. When I press "OK" now, then I get a new Group with some macros (which already exist on the network drive). If I want to edit such a macro now, then the MacroScheduler tells me that this is not possible because the file cannot be found in "C:\scheduler\dir\...". This is crazy because I linked my group to a network drive. If I want to create a new macro, then it is stored on the network drive so that I can edit it. But if I want to edit existing macros, then this is not possible...
Can someone help me?

Not sure what's going on here. I just followed your exact steps and I had no problems. I linked to a network folder using \\server\share\folder format which had some .scp files already in it. I could then see the macros in the group and was able to open and edit them no problem.
Can you check the attributes of the files that are already present on the network drive? Could they be read only or something like that?

Yes, I watched your video and as I said I followed your steps exactly, creating a new group linked to a network share containing scp files. And was able to edit them ok.

Today I worked again with some MacroScheduler scripts on a network drive and there I noticed a second problem which is maybe related to my first one here.
To reproduce the problem please to the following:
1. Create a folder on a network drive called "abc"
2. Create a subfolder in folder "abc" which is called "xyz"
3. In MacroScheduler create a linked group to the path of "xyz"
4. Create a macro called "macro" in "xyz" and save it
5. In MacroScheduler create a linked group to the path of "abc"
6. Create a macro called "macro" in "abc" and save it
Step 6 will be not possible because the MacroScheduler will tell you that there is already a macro with that name (because "macro" is in "xyz"). From my point of view this is not correct because /abc/xyz/macro.scp is not the same as /abc/macro.scp.
