Compile Workflow Macros

Can workflow macros be compiled to an EXE?

If not, are there plans to implement that?

Or maybe save the workflow out as a .scp, parsed with the workflow logic?

If you have Macro Scheduler pro or above you just save the script, open it up in Macro Scheduler pro and create an exe.

It would be nice though to have a button we could just push that would do it in workflow.

Nice thought.

Of course we could just write a script to do this for us.

It would also be nice to be able to add our own buttons that would appear on the ms toolbar, along with an easy interface that would let you attach a script to the button.

I'm going to suggest these options on the Enhancement Suggestions page where they belong.

Hope that helped.

I think Aaron may be thinking of something else, because, no, at present there is no way to take a workflow and convert it to a .scp or compile it.

However, this ability is on the wish list.

Update: With Workflow Designer 2.1 it is now possible to export a workflow to a Macro Scheduler script file and, therefore, compile it.

Well done, Marcus!

It was painful that I could not debug a running workflow before, but now it's possible!
