Macros don't preserve full screen view
I just noticed something odd, macros don’t seem to like full screen windows.
I created a very simple macro that just triggers List View (command 32782) so I could run it from a toolbar button. When I click the button with xplorer² in full screen the window shrinks down very slightly around the edges and drops out of full screen. If I trigger List View anyplace else without the macro the window stays full screen. I can even start in List View and run the macro and watch the window shrink. This macro replaced one I created with MenuHack and I don’t remember it having this problem.
I have other simple macros attached to buttons for Show All, Invert Selection, Mini thumbs, and a few more that also shrink the window slightly. I also have a more complicated macro I created with the brand new macro recorder that I attached to a toolbar button that does the same thing.
Okay, I just ran all my macros from Customize > Macros submenu and they all shrink the window too.

Re: v4.1 released
I see it too, weird! I'll add this to the buglist to be fixed
Re: v4.1 released
Here is a trivial bug for you. If I select record macro, the GUI opens up top right of my screen, and is also partially hidden. If I move the GUI to the centre of the screen, close it, then reopen it again, it stays in the middle. However, if i restart x2, the GUI goes back to the top right corner again.

Re: v4.1 released

Edit a macro after it’s saved
Is there a way to edit a macro after it’s saved without running it first? I don’t see a way to do it in Macros > Organize… which is where I would expect to find it.
“Edit Macro…” should really be called “Edit Last Macro Run…”
Also, the “More…” dialog at the bottom of the Macro menu seems slightly redundant given the “Organize…” dialog. The “More…” dialog really just seems like a strip down version of the “Organize…” dialog.

Re: v4.1 released
"organize macro" menu command allows you to change the macro definition, but it isn't ideal (small space)
Re: v4.1 released
Hi, it's the first dialogue box you see when you press Record Macro, it only has two buttons; Finish and Cancel

Re: v4.1 released
this mini-dialog is supposed to appear in the top-LEFT corner of xplorer2 window. It remembers its location during the program, but upon restart it goes back top-left. But top-right and partially hidden was never in the plan!? Anybody else seeing this?

Re: v4.1 released
It wasn't obvious to me that I could even scroll down in the Description in the Properties dialog, it doesn't show scroll bars. I think of the properties dialog as a File operation rather than a Macro. I really would rather have easier access to the Macro editor.
Re: v4.1 released
Sorry a small booboo, it is at the top left that it appears , but it is still partially hidden.
Apologies, bizarrely I see one thing and write another

Re: v4.1 released
that's more like it
ok I see what you mean in MAXimized window it appears somewhat off, because a maximized window really extends outside the screen. No harm done though!
