Batch change macro’s path

[spiros]

From the Menu item Macros, I have a list of macros. However, I changed their path from D: to C:
Is there any way to batch update this change without removing them and adding them again?

In the My Macros list box in the Customize Macros dialog box, you can press CTRL + A and CTRL + C to select all items and copy to the clipboard. You can use EmEditor to replace all D: with C:, then paste back to the list box.

Wow, this is ultra-useful for me because sometimes my Macros end up in a mess and this makes cleaning up a whole lot easier 😃

Many thanks to spiros for asking the question and Yutaka for answering it!

Though just noticed a shortcoming: Macro shortcuts are not or only partially preserved 😐

For some reason it does not seem to work for me.

Copy/pasting outputted something like

D:\Documents\My Macros\linkifySP.jsee 0x00000000
D:\Documents\My Macros\linkify.jsee 0x00000000

In my case it works fine.

Copy / pasting outputted

E:\ProgDB\EmEditor\Macros\Toggle_read_only.jsee \t 0x00000000
E:\ProgDB\EmEditor\Macros\insert_date_only.jsee \t 0x00000000
E:\ProgDB\EmEditor\Macros\insert_date_time.jsee \t 0x00000000
E:\ProgDB\EmEditor\Macros\insert_date_long_time.jsee \t 0x00000000
E:\ProgDB\EmEditor\Macros\delete_between_bookmarks.jsee \t 0x00000000

Where \t is the tab character.

It looks like the \t and 0x00000000 can be omitted from the list.
Pasting allows me to run the Macro, but when trying to edit them I get your “The following files do not exist error”. → Restarting EmEditor fixes this.
