Yes I am on Windows 7. The macro creator was written in AHK which is a Windows scripting language.
Basically I bring up a number of books in Library view and highlight the top one.
The first macro then takes the highlighted book and opens it in Editor. It then performs a number of actions in editor (prettify, mend HTML, smarten punctuation, remove unused css, compress inages, and runs check check book).
It then waits for a hot key to be pressed, which allows me time to correct any errors Check Book has found. I then press the hot key and the macro saves my changes and closes Editor and returns me to library view.
It then moves the highlight from the book just processed to the next one in line and repeats the process.
While the macro works, it undoubtedly could do with more work as I am only a newbie with the program and am still in the foothills of the learning curve.
I have probably gone from London to Canterbury via Manila.
Macro 2 does something similar with Sigil and further processes books that have already been been processed with Macro 1.
I am more than willing to share these macros but they are specifically tailored to my workflow and are still works in progress. Once finalized then they can be turned into stand alone executables using AHK.
I want to look at some of the other simpler freeware macro creators as they may be better suited to simpler tasks. (e.g. running several several several saved searches in succession)
