Hi
globally agree
P.S.: If designed and done right, then macro recording should be
feasible for interacting with/using any UNO service object in a language
neutral manner, such that the generable macros could be created for any
of the desired target languages of the users, OOo Basic, Python, Java,
BeanShell, ooRexx, and the like.
E.g., if I knew what the initial environment was (already there for
macros) and what interactions (API invocations with used arguments) took
place, then I would be able to (easily!) create from that an ooRexx
program that would be able to "replay" all those API invocations. I am
sure that Andrew would know and be able to do the same vor OOo Basic,
and everyone else acquainted with UNO and another scripting language
would be able to generate the appropriate code in their chosen scripting
language.
paolo mantovani as started some long-term work in thsi direction using
python.
look at

and ping him if necessarry
such contributions could easilly be deployed as extensions
