Adding And Editing Items

Adding New Item

Before adding new item, bring main window on the screen if it is minimized to the tray icon. There are several ways how to add a new item:

- Use Add Wizard. Add Wizard can be started from the main menu (or also from tray menu) and allows a user to insert all the item properties in several easy to follow steps.
- Create new item from the scratch. You can use "Insert / Add Macro Item" (Insert / Add Clip Item) menu item or Ctrl+I (Ctrl+L) hot key (or "Add New Macro Item" (Add New Clip Item) from a right-click menu) to bring up empty item properties dialog.
- Create new item from template. Any of existing item can be marked as a "template" ("Use this item as template" option in item properties dialog box, "Options" tab). This allows a user to create his/her own template that can be easily selected from dialog box. To create new item from a template use "Insert / Create From Template" menu item or Ctrl+T hot key (or "Create From Template" from a right-click menu).
- Record new macro.

Editing Macro

To edit macro, open the item settings dialog box and go to the "Macro" tab.
The window with all the commands available will show automatically next to the item settigs window. To add new command just select the one you want in the tree and click either "Add" or "Insert" button. Each command has its own dialog box for specifying parameters. After pressing OK button the command is added/inserted to the macro.
To edit command just click on the command and press "Edit" button.

Macro can be viewed/edited in two different modes:

- Raw source text - the macro is displayed and edited as a text.
- Formatted - the macro is displayed in the list view. Each command is in a separate row with its icon.

The "edit" button is available in both the modes.
