Whether this flies or not is up to Aaron, but I just wanted to point out
something to keep in mind when sharing hotspots. All mouse locations and
most user windows (unless very well tweaked) will be resolution dependent.
So when you want to share with a friend or distribute widely, make sure the
resolution your hotspots were made with is obvious. It will save a lot of
headaches down the road.

Subject: Re: HotSpot - Feature requests
Aaron,
Just have this one question:
I realize, there is a button in the dialog, letting you export the .ini
file. I guess, this will export the full list of defined HotSpots, for all
the aplications you have installed, and defined Hotspots for.
Now, I also do realize the great potentials of the HotSpot script. And that
is where my questions come in.
Let's say, that a user takes on himself, to make hotspot-definitions for a
given application. Recently, on the list, there was talked about Cakewalk
(Sonar), for one example. Wouldn't it be useful, if he then could have
exported only the HotSpots for that application, and maybe had them saved in
a file called Sonar.hsp, or something? The .hsp was just an idea, making the
filetype distinct; of course, .ini will work as well, but might be confused
with other .ini files. Further, to spin on the qbove question: If now, he
has exported these definitions, and want to benefit the whole community of
WE users, how about having a spot on your webpage, where hotspots can be
downloaded from? That way, people who have got previously inaccessible
software to work, with the help of HotSpots, could have uploaded there work,
and others benefitted. You know, not everyone finds it easy to undertake the
great job of making hotspots, and might not understand enough computing so
as to actually do so. Yet, they would greatly benefit from predefined
hotspots. It would be enough here, to refer to the great benefit of SC, and
your site for user defined .set files.

Both editing and organizing actions will be addressed in the next version.
Thanks,

OK, here is a couple of requests for further updates to the HotSpot
script:
1. Say you have defined a hotkey, but then realize, the delay between
the actions is a bit low. You easily can open HotSpot, and choose to Edit
the different hotspots. But there should be a way to edit each action. The
way it is now, you have no other choice but deleting the action in question,
and then add it again, with another delay setting. Pretty much job, if you
don't happen to hit the right delay value at the first try... :)
2. You are to define a HotSpot that has to carry out several actions.
You go through it all, and then test your newly defined HotSpot. Woopsy, you
realize, you forgot one step - or action - between action 8 and 9. Not a too
big deal, if there only was nine actions defined. You will have to delete
entry 9, then add your missing action, then re-add the 9th action from
before. But what if your list held 25 actions, and you missed soething
between action 8 and 9? There really should have been choices for moving an
action Up/Down the list.
Hope these features can be implemented in later versions.
