@kracovwolf - pythonscript plugin is installed ,correct?

kracovwolf

yes i created the script too

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf
ok, then you need multiple lines of

notepad.runMenuCommand('Macro', 'NAME OF THE MACROS AS SHOWN IN Macro MENU')

Ekopalypse

You can test if the command has been successfully sent if you
execute it via the console like I did in the first screenshot.
It has to return true. If false appears then something is wrong with your command.

kracovwolf

i created the macro codes now what? use the run command but what program?

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf
You use notepad++. Goto Plugins->PythonScript->Scripts
and click your python script.

kracovwolf

nothing happened, nothing in console except the Ready message

@kracovwolf
What should the macros do?

kracovwolf

they all change spelling errors and remove junk in subtitle files. i double checked the macro names, cases are fine, spaces too.

Ekopalypse

@kracovwolf

run one command in the console and see what it returns.

kracovwolf

it says false.
notepad.runMenuCommand(‘Run’, ‘Subtitle All’)
that is the exact name of one macro

Alan Kilborn

Wow. Wow. At least it ended with success. :-)

kracovwolf

do you know if the macros are stored in notepads settings? i might need to copy everything to another computer

Hi @kracovwolf

Yes, macros are stored in shortcuts.xml, which in my configuration is located here C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Notepad++\shortcuts.xml.

Have fun!
