Macros in Quick Templates work only if message is not a draft
Hello,
i'm using some macros in common quick templates (QT) together with Gaijin's
TheBat! plugin XMP http://www.gaijin.at/tbpxmp.php.
After creating a new message and saving as draft the macros do not
work any more after reopening the message.
Sometimes i have to store messages as draft, if they are not finished,
and continuing writing after some hours or the next day.
My QT is named anlagen (german word for attachments) and has the
following code:
%_A=%XMP_StrTrim('%ATTACHMENTS')%-
%IF:|%_A|=|none|:|%_A=|:||%-
%IF:|%_A|||:|Anlagen:
%_AC=%XMP_StrItemCnt('%ATTACHMENTS',', ')%-
%XMP_For('i',1,'%_AC',' %%_i) %-
%%XMP_StrItem(%%ATTACHMENTS,, ,%%_i)%-
%%XMP_StrC(\n)')%-
|:||
My template for new messages:
%TOFNAME,
%Cursor
%QINCLUDE=anlagen
--
%FromFName
%PUT=U:\Lyl Canbys\Mail\TheBat\gwendragon-sig.txt
%LANGUAGE=DE%-
%SIGNCOMPLETE%-
%NOPGPMIME%-
I posted this problem already in Ritlabs BT at
https://www.ritlabs.com/bt/view.php?id=9052
I think, macros should always work in TheBat, after creating a mail and
reopening
the saved draft.
Do macros only work if a mail is not saved? Why?
Or is this a bug?

Kind regards

Hallo GwenDragon, On Sun, 26 Feb 2012 14:01:10 +0100GMT (26-2-2012, 14:01 , where I live), you wrote: G I think, macros should always work in TheBat, after creating a mail and reopening G the saved draft. You can think so, but they don't. G Do macros only work if a mail is not saved? Why? Your macros are interpreted once: when you start editing the message body. If they'd need to be interpreted more times, they should be stored in the message as macro. That way you wouldn't know what text would be generated by the macro until they were interpreted for the last time, probably when you press on the send button. However, that would mean that you'd be sending a message without knowing the actual contents of that message, especially when you've got a load of macros that need to be interpreted. Not knowing what you're actually sending is unacceptable, therefore you cannot use macros that are continuously updating themselves. This is not a bug, it works as designed. -- Groetjes, Roelof Get back at your enemies, make them Moderators! http://www.voormijalleen.nl/ The Bat! 5.0.34.3 Windows Vista 6.0 Build 6002 Service Pack 2 5 pop3 accounts, 3 imap account OTFE disabled Quad Core 2.4GHz 4 GB RAM pgpjUMHZMMLzq.pgp Description: PGP signature Current beta is 5.0.34.3 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
