Macro menu for renaming, exporting, and organizing macros is very bad structured


it go to edit menu for macros.

I cannot move macros as plug & Play
I cannot rename macros by double click on its name
I cannot find 1 hour now how to rename, move, export macros to new libreoffice.

The design of user operability and friendness is Zero. I am using linux many years. 
I am a data analyst. I use and program in R. 
Such mess ..... such mess...  

Why it is not plug and play and we need 2-3 menus for simple tasks?

You mean Tools > Macro, or what is the "edit menu"? The summary is also "menu ... is very bad structured".

> I cannot move macros as plug & Play
In the object catalog of the macro edit dialog you want to drag 'n drop nodes (eg. Access2Base > _License) to another macro. This would be usually a move operation unless some modifier key is pressed. But anyway, making the object catalog tree more interactive (copy, past, edit, delete, rename...) sounds reasonable.

> I cannot rename macros by double click on its name
Double-click is typically Open, I would either try F2 or right click. But yes, such a function is desirable.

In the IDE module try Tools > Organize Macros > Basic: Oranizer.

Our hidden agenda is to promote R, of course. :-)

Seriously, the macro editor is not a primary function of an office suite and obviously not so many users have the same workflow like you. Otherwise bug reports would have been written... could be bug 120658.

So I take it as "works for me".
