Files, Import, and Export

File Commands

Use the File menu for:

• New
• Open
• Save
• Save As
• Print
• Import

Open and Save

EZ Macros keeps a current macro file and can remember the last file name from your profile settings.

Import

File > Import accepts:

• .ezm files
• .dat files

If a hot key from the imported file is no longer available, EZ Macros asks you to choose a replacement.

Print

File > Print prints the main list with these columns:

• Trigger
• Trigger Type
• Description
• Type
• Date

Drag and Drop

You can drag a macro file onto the main window to load it.

File Association

EZ Macros registers its shell open command at runtime so macro files can open with the app.

Create Desktop Shortcut

Use Macro > Create Desktop Shortcut to build a shortcut that runs one macro from one macro file.

That shortcut uses the same command-line run pattern described in Command Line and Shortcuts.

Export to EXE

Some builds show Macro > Export to .EXE.

When available, it exports the selected macro into a self-running EXE-style package.

Important Notes

• the feature only works on the selected macro
• the current executable and support files must be present
• some builds hide this option from the main menu even though the export code still exists

Sharing Tips

• share the macro file when both users have EZ Macros
• use a desktop shortcut when only one macro matters
• use EXE export only if your build still exposes it and your workflow needs it
