User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes

User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes

User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes

(OP)
How does "User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes" work? Because if I enable it, it doesn't wait for the user to select a file but it goes right on.

RE: User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes

Well that's what it does, it's expecting that you will be replacing the 'File Selection' step with your own operation.

You mean I should open and edit the .macro file?

I'm under the impression that instead of selecting a particular file, the macro waits for the user to pick that file. But I guess it doesn't work that way?

RE: User Entry on File Selection Dialog Boxes

If you're using an actual 'Macro' and NOT a journal file, when creating the Macro and you get to a dialog which you wish the user to perform the interaction manually, go back to the Macro menu pull-down and select the 'User Entry on File-Selection Dialog Box' option.  That way, when you replay the Macro it will stop and allow the user to make a selection before it continues its programmed steps.
