Session Macro
From the moment in which you begin a session with GeoDict, all commands used are internally recorded and stored in the Session Macro. You may decide to select some of these recorded commands, create a macro that combines them, and save this macro for later use.
After selecting Macro → Session Macro… in the menu bar, the Session Macro side bar opens. It can also be opened by clicking on the side bar tab on the right of GeoDict. If the GeoDict window is not maximized, the Session Macro tab may not be shown. It can be found by clicking
at the bottom of the side bar. You can also undock the Session Macro panel and turn it into the Session Macro dialog by clicking
in the upper right corner. Although it is still minimized if the GeoDict GUI is minimized, the dialog can be moved independently on the screen.
Select the commands to record
The commands used during the session appear in the upper panel of the Session Macro dialog and can be selected (highlighted). Click the single arrow to move the selected commands to the lower panel (Custom macro) in the desired order.
To choose and move all commands from the upper panel at once, click the double arrows instead.
Clicking Copy To Clipboard copies the highlighted commands from the upper panel to the clipboard. From there, you can paste them to an editor.
The commands can be removed from the lower panel by highlighting them and clicking Delete Selected Commands. To remove all commands at once, click Clear.

Load input parameters and directly run a command
Click Load Input Parameters to only load the parameters of a single highlighted command in the corresponding parameters dialog box in the module section.
To run commands again without saving them to a macro, highlight the desired commands in the upper panel and click Run Selected Commands.
Double clicking on a command, whether in the upper or in the lower panel, shows the corresponding settings map in a new dialog.

Save your custom macro
After selecting and adding the commands click Save.
In the appearing dialog, choose a file name and the desired folder where the macro will be stored.
