Like with other productivity apps such as Alfred or Launchbar, it’s difficult to give a concise definition of what the app does-it is endlessly customisable. Keyboard Maestro is a productivity and automation app that strings actions together to form macros. The app is great, but the UI seems like another entry here. Now it appears in the macro actions window. Ahh, this time you must double click the action you want - not drag it. oops! That doesn't work!? But that's how we got the first action there, and we just clicked "+ New Action" (and it showed us the action choices). Drag another action down to the macro panel and. Click that, and the action selection panel slides up again. Then a new button appears below the last aciton - "+ New Action". You have to click that grayed out + button to remove the actions panel. Want to add another action? If the panel with all the available actions is open, can you drag one down below your last action (repeating the same behavior you followed to add the first action? Nope. To remove the panel, you have to click the grayed out + button.Īnd when you're done adding a macro action, should you click the check button on the bottom? Apparently not that toggles the last action on or off. it doesn't remove the panel that the + just popped up it deletes the current macro action.

Now, the - (minus) button on the macro panel. So + doesn't add a macro step, it just shows you the things you can select from (and drag) to build the macro. But in the macro editor, the + button causes an action panel to slide up over the Groups and Macros sections. In the Groups and Macros columns, their + buttons add a new element. Then you have inconsistent behaviors of the + buttons. To me that seems backwards, but either way it's a very poor state indicator+driver. Did you just complete some action by "checking" it? Apparently, clicking the Check button _disables_ the macro.

If you click the check (which would mean what, anyway?), it switches to an X.

This also ensures that should your company disappear, at the very worst, the user community will have a not-too-old version of the software to fall back on.įirst and foremost, the state indicators are very confusing.įor example, when you create a new macro, the macro editor shows a button to the right of the name that is either a check or an X.

(And were you really going to scan the diffs for each release for malware anyway?) You could also allow trusted third-parties under NDA to review all diffs for the current code base and certify that they didn't see anything malicious. But you can be confident, based on the history of the product, that it did not have malware for a long time. Granted, you are not sure the current code doesn't have malware. When you purchase the product, you receive access to the source code for the version that was then-current one year ago. Here's a modified idea, perhaps still not good enough but hopefully a step down the path. This is the eternal conundrum of open source.

You might be the kind of guy who would pay $40 for good software, but a lot of people would get the free version and not pay.

In practice, if something was truly open-source, there'd be nothing to prevent someone who didn't like you from building your app with each new release and putting on a web site for anyone to download for free.
