First of all I love the ability to create macros and have been using them a lot!
However, as I create more and more macros I have wanted the ability to view, copy and/or edit existing macros. I can't tell you how many times I have wanted to just be able to see what steps a macro does, so I can create another one that is similar but with only a small change, etc.
Do you have any plans for this type of thing?
It would be very cool if a macro could be put into "edit mode" and as you go from one step to another within the macro have the MP3 TagStudio window change to show each step. For example, if the first step in a macro is to do a "Mass set tags/filters" to set the genre to "Rock", the MP3/Tag Studio window would switch to that tab and the Genre field would be populated with "Rock", etc.
If you wanted to make a change, like change Rock to "Classic Rock" for example, you could do that while in "edit mode" of the macro.
I'm not sure if this is something that is even possible. If it's not, or as an interim solution, it would be almost as good if a macro could be exported to a text file of some sort (xml, csv, ???) that could then be edited and then re-imported back into mp3ts.
The reasons I need this:
1. to 'remember' what I did to get a macro to work, what the steps were, etc.
2. to be able to copy an existing macro, make changes and save it and/or import it as a new macro with a new name.
3 to be able to borrow parts of a macro or macros to build new macros.
thanks for the great product!! and thanks for taking the time to read this and consider whether something like this would be possible for a future release of mp3/ts.

Sadly, it would be quite time consuming to implement an easy-to-use macro editor, so it's a bit down on the todo-list at the moment, but it's on the list.
