Macro prefix sorting
-
@fcwilt, you mention macro sorting in an earlier thread today. Could you point me to where macro prefix sorting is explained? I currently do things like a - macro1, b - macro2 etc which works but always shows the prefix. If I name a macro "123_Macro 1", I see the entire thing in the macro files window instead of just "macro 1"
It would be nice if I could get rid of the clumsy prefix (ie not display it)
Also, does the sorting prefix need to be used when calling the macro?

When you select the Macros item from the menu on the far left you see the complete name:
When you select the Dashboard item you see the modified name:
You can see where the ##_ part of the name is hidden with the ## used to control sorting.
I never call anything in the macros folder, I use macros to call things in the system folder. To me, macros are part of the "user interface" and are there only to invoke other code.

@fcwilt ... it took a while to find but I did eventually locate what you are talking about. I have never used the macro listing on the far right of the 'Dashboard' screen. For some bizarre reason I never consciously noticed that section of the screen. If I wanted to invoke a macro, I would go to the 'Macro' menu.
Looks like I have some learning to do ....Thank you !
