Thanks Eero,<br>
<br>
xnee MS Windows like macro record play facility is ok.<br>
Tried to install from repositories, none for OS2007HE.<br>
Frankly speaking what I need as macro on-the-fly composer<br>
to generate macro commands and have them played in xnee for maemo-mapper,<br>
from time to time.<br>
So I need to know if there is a way to have some standard m-m macros prerecorded/saved and modify them and make them playable in xnee<br>
to get D-BUS API para-functionality.<br>
<br>
I would like to have track saving enabled/disabled from time to time by macro sceript and the like<br>
to make maemo-mapper more user friendly.<br>
The same problem exist with other GPS car navigation devices.<br>
To many, to much clicks to make a right option selection.<br>
This is all about Interfaces and Interfacing , HID.<br>
To let the main application to be run as it runs and give<br>
adaptative modified interfaces to a user.<br>
So to move GUI HID to D-BUS like in mplayer run from command line.<br>
<br>
Nowadays, GUI applications are more click-and-click applications than<br>
intelligent HID ones.<br>
<br>
Maemo-mapper is my only way to build HID interface.<br>
Have you tried to run maemo-mapper from XNEE macro generated on-the-fly<br>
by events ?<br>
<br>
