Description flywire 2021-08-07 23:23:38 UTC
Description:
Macros can be run manually by expanding the folders to display the file containing the macro then running it. The next time the Macro selector is opened the folder structure is collapsed again. It is likely the user will want to run a macro in the same file again so it would be more convenient to retain the folder expansion.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Tools, Macro, Run Macro
2.LibreOffice Macros, Select HelloWorld in Library, Select HelloWorldPython, click Run
3.Repeat Step 1. Note: All folders have been collapsed

Actual Results:
Folders are always collapsed when selecting Macros.

Expected Results:
Retain expansion of folders and currently selected macro so macros in same file can be run without having to renavigate folder structure, just double click Macro Name.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Basic Macro selector
Selects the Basic macro to run. Locate the macro by selecting the container, library, module and macro name.

To access this command...
Choose Tools - Macros - Run Macros.


Library
Lists the existing macro containers, Basic macro libraries and Basic modules for the current application and any open documents.

Macro name
Lists the Basic macros for the selected module. Select a macro and click Run.

Note this functionality is included in APSO (Alternative python script organizer for OpenOffice and LibreOffice) as of https://gitlab.com/jmzambon/apso/-/releases/v1.3.0

> Add two options to keep tree state and to collapse childs on parent collapsing (issue #23).
> Add shortcut Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on Mac) to collapse node, alongside with left arrow (compare with Enter/right arrow).

Settings are described in https://gitlab.com/jmzambon/apso/-/issues/23
