+ | ==== Using the Front Window Title with the Pause Until Action ==== | ||
+ | If you are using Keyboard Maestro to execute some type of UI action that uses a dialog window (like Open, Save, Save As), you can use the **[[action:Pause_Until|Pause Until]]** action to pause based on the Window Title, which will often change during the process. | ||
+ | |||
+ | To determine the Window Titles during the process, create a **test** macro with a [[action:Set_Variable_to_Text|Set Variable to Text]] action, and leave it visible while you go through the manual steps. | ||
+ | |||
+ | For example:\\ | ||
+ | {{:condition:km-window-title.png?500|}}\\ | ||
+ | The macro will show the results without running it as you go through the manual steps. | ||
+ | If the Window Title changes during/after your process, you can use that in a [[action:Pause_Until|Pause Until]] action. | ||
