Here you can set a trigger and other properties of the current item.
A trigger is an event that causes the item to run. Here you cen set hot key, mouse, window, QM events, file, event log, process, accessible object, or an user-defined trigger. An item can have only one such trigger. Here you can also set command line triggers (scheduler, shortcut) or copy the command line string to use by other program that can launch QM using command line or SendMessage. Other ways to launch macros: menus, toolbars, text, some functions (mac, tim, RunTextAsMacro, etc) and the Run button on the QM toolbar.
Program with which this trigger (key, mouse or window) works. Must be only filename, without path and .exe. Can also be several programs, comma-delimited. Example: NOTEPAD,CALC. You can see program's name in the status bar when the mouse pointer is on a window that belongs to that program. Programs also can be set for all items in folder or file.
Assign a filter function.
Schedule this item to run at a specified time or on some system event. QM uses the service of the Windows Task Scheduler. You actually create or edit a scheduled task. See also: command line, temporarily unlock computer.
Create a shortcut on the desktop, Start Menu or Quick Launch toolbar. When you click the shortcut, starts QM (if not already running), and launches this item.
Format command line to launch this item, and copy it to the clipboard.
Create new macro that serves as shortcut to current item. Single QM item cannot have multiple triggers. But you can create any number of shortcuts to it, and assign them triggers. The result will be like if current item would have multiple triggers.
See what triggers of selected type already exist (to avoid duplicate triggers).
Disable trigger. To disable all items in a folder, use the Folder properties dialog. Disabled item still can be started using the Run button, mac, from menus and toolbars.
These properties are common to all item types (macros, menus, etc).
If checked, current item will be added to the 'File\New\Templates' menu. If item name is "Macro", "Function", "Menu", "Toolbar", "T.S. Menu" or "Member", it replaces default "File\New" menu item.
If checked, the item will not be saved. Temporary items exist only until QM exits. If the item is a file link item, file text will be saved, if modified.
Select what to do when this macro is launched while a macro (this or other) is running. This option is available only for macros, because items of this type cannot run simultaneously. Items of other types (e.g., functions) run simultaneously.
If you check this and click OK, the macro is converted to function.
If checked, this function will not run when you launch it while it (its thread) is already running. This is applied only to normal threads, but not to special threads and functions called from code. Another way to limit number of simultaneously running threads of a function - insert this at the beginning of function's code: if(getopt(nthreads)>1) ret.
If checked, this function can be used as filter function. Filter functions are used with triggers, to narrow trigger scope and achieve various other effects.
Set allowed launch methods. For example, to prevent accidentally launching the function, you can select "Only calling from code" or "Any except the Run button". You can also set to run other macro instead. This option is saved in code, so you also can quickly edit without the Properties dialog. Read more.
"Run in separate process", "Run As "
Don't run as background user; If computer locked, temporarily unlock
Here you can set menu properties.
Here you can set toolbar properties.
Here you can set T.S. menu options. T.S. menu options are set as a line of text in the T.S. menu text. The line can be at the beginning or somewhere below. It sets options for all subsequent menu items until next such line.
To set folder properties, right click a folder and select Folder Properties in the menu.
