The Issue
When I save a macro with biggertask, it saves the file with extra characters behind and in front of the file name, creating this kind of file:
.xdp-example.recq-iHeg41
i.e. .xdp- before the file, with the actual file in the middle, along with a - and 6 seemingly random characters
instead of:
example.recq
This causes several issues:
- the dash and random string after the file type makes the file unreadable by biggertask, causing the file to not show when loading a macro
- the . frpm .xdp- hides the file if you do not have "show hidden files" turned on in your file browser
The Manual Fix
However, this can all be fixed by manually editing the macro file. Editing .xdp-example.recq-iHeg41 into example.recq makes the file show up in biggertask, and prevents it from being hidden, all while not affecting the macro within.
