Digiteyez Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 I create a macro when a tiff file was opened, saved it in the library, exported the macro to a external disk,. I used the macro (duplicate layer) and closed the tiff file. Macro disappeared in the macro tool box. the only way to use the macro again was to select it from the library. Cutiously, all previous macros from the macro tool box have disappeared too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 One generally uses macros from the Library panel. The Macro panel is more often used for developing macros, or loading .afmacro (no s at end) files prior to installing them in the Library. I think what you're reporting is the intended way they work. Help for the Macro panel Quote The Macro panel provides a means of recording, saving, importing and exporting macros And from the Help for the Library panel: Quote The Library panel stores macros and allows them to be applied to the current document via a single click. Both stock macros and custom saved or imported macros appear in this panel.

Digiteyez Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 Just saw an affinity tutorial where there was a whole list of macros displayed in the macropanel, including a "settings" icon next the macro. It could be an older version of AP. Thank you, so the macropanel is just there to create, save, import and export. Kind regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Library studio is the list of all the macro categories and individual macros within each category.
