==== 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.
