MikeFromMesa Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 I recorded a macro this afternoon which included, among other things, saving the file. While the macro recorder captured everything prior to the save it did not record the save itself. Is this a known restriction? Or should it have recorded the save as well? I tried both File -> Save and Cmd-S but neither recorded. papedMum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted September 8, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've just created a Macro that includes File > Save and it seems to work. However, after running the Macro and closing the app I'm prompted to save the file because it's been modified. If I click Don't Save and then reopen the document the changes have actually been saved to the file. It seems saving within a Macro is working but Affinity doesn't detect the save when closing the document. I will log this with our developers.

It did not in mine but perhaps it recorded without being visible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Leigh Posted September 9, 2016 Staff Share Posted September 9, 2016 I'm also not getting the save step listed. Good spot :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2017 The "Save" item has been disabled (for now - it might come back one day if we make it work). sorry this is not yet completely fixed.

MikeFromMesa Posted October 18, 2017 Author Share Posted October 18, 2017 OK. But I am a bit surprised as this has now been a known issue for more than a year, but has still not been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Patrick Connor Posted October 18, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 18, 2017 This is less of a bug more of a long standing improvement request that will take quite a lot of development to make it work. We are focusing on fixing lots of bugs in 1.6 and will probably have a 1.7 cycle that can better address new features and improvements.
