[Done] Add Ability to "Find" a Specific Macro

Post by jpuziano » Tue Jan 16, 2007 8:04 pm

Hi Marcus,

When the Macro Scheduler Main Window contains hundreds of scripts of all sorts (over 300 here)... there is no easy way to "Find" the one I am looking for.

Part 1:
Let's say all I remember is that it has "update" in the macro name. It would be nice to have a "Find" option that I could use to list just the macros that contain "update" in their title.

Part 2:
Let's say all I remember is that a certain macro accesses a file called "updates.txt". It would be great to do the "Find" but this time specify that it should search through the actual lines of the macros as well.

Yes I know I could have put the macros into different groups. I do have a few groups, but this doesn't help much if you can't recall which group it was put into.

And yes I know I can perform these searches using File Explorer and search through all the .scp files... and I do that when I have to... but it would sure be nice to be able to find a certain macro I'm looking for right from the Macro Scheduler main window without having to open up other tools.

Thanks for listening and keep up the great work!

Hi jpuziano,

I have over 300 scripts as well and well over 30 groups. A find option would really speed things up when trying to locate a script.
