Run selection as macro behaviour
Posted: 2007-06-11 03:55:04
In beta 2 The "open filepath" macro executes as expected: it opens the file on that path. But if you run a selection "open filepath" thru the 'Run selection as macro' command, the behaviour in beta 2 is different: The file is opend in the background. In beta 1 it was opened in the foreground. Why has this been changed?
(I used these "open filepath" lines of text to navigate thru documents: Let's say you have an open file and you would like to insert a link to another file you wrote earlier. Now you simply open that other file and use a macro that checks it's path, then closes it so that your original file is on top again, and have that macro enter the words "open" plus the filepath it had looked up, maybe marking that line with a dedicated color. Afterwards all you have to do is selecting it and use the 'Run selection as macro' command which of course should get an shortcut like cd-RR. It's very efficient, but now it does not work any more.)
