I'm confused about how the macro functionality is supposed to work, whether it is actually touching any macro definitions or not -- and if it is touching them, why would it touch any in the General tab which are already shared across characters. If I click "ignore macros" it doesn't just ignore touching the macros, it ignores even putting them on the bar, so clearly I don't want it to ignore macros for my use case. If I don't click "ignore macros" then things can get messed up.

Specifically, the issue that I've run into is with dynamic macro generators like AutoPotion or Buffet.

For example, I have a profile saved that did not ignore macros, so the button that has the AutoPotion macro on it is in the profile. The character it was saved for has a couple of rank 3 healing potions which AutoPotion has put in the relevant command to use it. If I import that profile on another character who does not have any of those potions, Myslot creates a duplicate macro with the exact same name that has the line to use 3* healing potions that don't exist on the character being imported, so the macro is useless. Since the bar also now holds a reference to a static macro that AutoPotion is not updating, it does not dynamically correct itself.

It gets weirder. On another alt (yes, same class and spec, ours is not to reason why...) I wanted to confirm that it really was Myslot causing the problem with these spurious extra macros, and so I opened the macros panel first, put the correct AutoPotion macro on the bar where I wanted it to be, then imported. This time the bogus additional macro that was created did not reference the 3* potions that were in the exported string, but rather the ones that AutoPotion had already determined were correct for that character.

Fortunately this doesn't seem to be messing up any of the static macros in the General tab, just dynamic ones. But why does Myslot need to create any macros in the General tab at all? I guess if you're importing a totally foreign string from someone then you might need to add macro definitions, but within the same account it should just leave the definitions alone.

i mean a seperate import/export like rn its actions/bindings/macros and then it would be actions/bindings/general macros/char specific macros i used the clear option cause my char specific macro slots were too full and it took off all general macros from all of my other characters on every loadout cause it deleted and recreated them aswell id like to circumvent that :(

this happened to me too, i imported action/binds/macros onto a low level toon I hadn't played in a while, not thinking much of it, then when i logged onto my other toons I found all general macros were gone, HUGE pain in the ass :'(

In reply to oishii1992: yeah I checked "clear macro before applying" I assumed this would clear the macro's for the CURRENT CHARACTER only. What does it actually do?? maybe a mouseover tooltip would help? or maybe im dumb. Either way, thanks for the addon!

Hi,

first of all, I want to say great adddon!

Could you update it to the latest Classic Era Game Version of 1.15.0 (Season of Discovery)?

Would be awesome, thanks a lot in advance!

In reply to oishii1992: Currently I only found the "outdated warning" is the problem. Thank you for updating it <3

I love this addon! Is there a way for an export to ignore empty slots or only include some action bars? I’m going alt crazy and would love to be able to import my toys and mount action bars separate. I’d mostly use this to update older toons with built out spell bars but old and outdated mounts and toys. Thanks!

In reply to OrnithGaming: I second this

Can you split character specific and general macros please? this is fucking me all the time
