**This is an old revision of the document!**

The Application trigger allows you to execute a macro when an specified application (or any application) does any o the following:

  • Launches
  • Quits
  • Is Running (the macro executes repeatedly).
  • Activates
  • Deactivates
  • Is Active (the macro executes repeatedly).

For example, you can have a macro setup an application when it launches, or do something every minute an application is active.

An application Activates when it comes to the foreground, and deactivates when another application comes to the foreground.

Caution: Be careful not to place macros with these triggers inside a macro group that is only active when the specified application is active. Otherwise, by the time the macro itself becomes active, the application has already launched and activated and so the macro will not fire.
