Macro playlist

[deleelee]

I’ve been reading the online documentation for ‘Task automation with macros’ and in the section for ‘Save a recorded macro’ it says “the macro will be available from the Macro menu or the Macro playlist”. Can someone please tell me what the playlist is? I can’t find it.

Do you mean this?

I am confused about what the “playlist” is as well. If it is just the lower part of the Macro menu, then it seems that saying “from the Macro menu or the Macro playlist” is redundant.

I tend to agree. I think the original author of that section was meaning “or” as in “also known as”. I’ll add it to my “to fix” list

While working on PR #371, I realized that maybe the Macro > Run a Macro Multiple Times (which is a dialog I had never used) was what was meant by the “playlist”. But since that was confusing, I removed that phrase, and instead refer to the official name for that menu entry. Hopefully, that makes it more clear.
