Can't expand macro

Post by Preformer »

Sorry if I am posting this in the wrong section. I'm very new to EventGhost, and I'm loving it so far. I made a macro to get the clipboard from my mobile some days ago, but I can't expand it now that I want to edit it. Thank you very much.

Image for reference: Image
The [+] to the left side of the macro is missing.

It seems that the macro has no "children".
You can easily make sure of that.
Xml file is actually a text file, so you can open it in any plain text editor (such as notepad.exe).

This is how the macro without and with children looks:

Code: Select all

<Macro Name="Get Clipboard" />


<Macro Name="Get Clipboard">
    <Action>
        EventGhost.Comment()
    </Action>
</Macro>

I just checked. and it indeed doesn't seem to have children. But the action it was supposed to execute (Get the clipboard from mobile) is getting executed normally. How is that possible? Also, how do I edit the macro now?

You have only two options:
1) Delete the macro and create new
2) To the empty macro to add some actions (whath you need).
