![]() It’s still a proprietary Mac file that could get corrupted. And keep thinking of anything else you might need to back up - imagining that your MacBook Air was run over by a truck and you suddenly hadn’t got any Mac at all and had to start from scratch.Īnd I don’t count Time Machine as a backup in this sense. Make your next project to methodically back up all your Photos and Data and Contact Addresses and emails and Photoshop Templates and Keyboard Maestro Macros and Excel or Numbers Spreadsheets and Passwords etc etc onto external hard disks. But forgetting about mending any of that for a moment - I have one bit of advice for you: With all the problems you’ve listed it sounds like you must have reached the end of any road of annoyances. To be honest I’m amazed the Macro runs at all with all that other stuff going on Sounds like moving windows around with Keyboard Maestro is the absolute least of your problems. Photos decided to delete its entire library. Omnifocus hangs and needs a force restart daily… Devonthink doesn't sync automatically. I have KM automatically quit Mail.app every hour or so, I daren't leave it running in the background!… Spotlight / MDS makes hundreds of thousands of blank directories… Time Machine requires 100% cpu. quit letting my iphone and ipad connect automatically with mac. WindowServer is winding up and down from 10-40% cpu. Like him, I never use Full Screen, I'm too stuck in my Mac ways of dragging things between a jumble of multiple open Windows and feel kind of trapped when an App goes into Full Screen mode and I can't drag its Window around. Then try running your Macro in the Finder.ĮDIT - another thing to try is assigning a completely different hot key and see if that makes any difference - in fact, try running the Macro from within Keyboard Maestro by pressing the "Run" button and let it make the Keyboard Maestro Window fill the screen.īTW it's a small point, but your Macro is Maximising the Window, which as has mentioned is different to making it Full Screen. One thing you could try - restart the Mac and double-check that no Apps are running. I wonder if something else you are running is using up lots of memory or something. I have a vague memory that when I've had something similar in the past (Macros going slow or not completing all their steps) a restart has fixed it. I just downloaded your Macro and on my System it works in one go - not in the multiple steps, as in your Video. Even in this example, it takes a varying number of runs to get where I want it to go. But when I have 3 omnifocus windows + obsidian rendering dataviews + safari all floating around, those apps are less likely to snap-to on the first time.Īnd here's a video of it in action. Calendar, for example, I don't remember ever failing. I might be imagining this, but apps that seem to tax the windowserver process are perhaps more likely to require multiple runs. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I am screen mirroring from my laptop? I use an external display and keep the other one fully dimmed (because clamshell kills TrueTone) ![]() it's not app specific, it fails sometimes with every app.I know about the importance of building in pauses. ![]() Then I restart the target app and it works on the first run. The moving and resizing happen independently, often taking ~3 tries. ![]() I typically use the built-in "Right / Left Column" like this They work maybe ~60% of the time on the first try, but always work to some degree, and always work completely if I run them enough times. So I include them in most of my shortcuts. I'd like to make use of Move and Resize windows a lot.
